    Mine was spiking for. 100-999+ most the evening, before the recent update that would rarely happen and would sit around 80-100 most of the time.

    Prior to the recent update did you have any issues/dcing or rubber banding?

    Occasionally but not every night since the update. I ran a dungeon earlier this week and sat around 240-700 for the entire run which is abnormal for me.

    And it generally only happens in large PvP fights or zones with high player population.

    Since the update if it's PC-NA primetime I can almost count on the ping being terrible.

    Last night it was so bad I logged out of eso to play something else and it was fine (that games servers are located in Europe).

    This happened to me today, again. All the days after update everything was fine, but today is damn bad. 999+ ping, then disconnect from a dungeon, twice. Error 334 on entering the game from my chars list. Erros and lobby connection lost during my regular gameplay process in overland or standing afk.

    I bet this will change for me tommorow, and I will have a fine week again, but some day will be ruined after.

    Is something up today? Been kicked from 3 bgs in a row, but overland seems to be working. FFXIV isn't reporting DDOS right now, so suspect it's not that. Stripped add-ons and still getting kicked.

    I have a trial later and dread the ESO network will be doing its thing then as well. I don't understand why almost all other online games are pretty reliable for me (glares briefly at Nintendo), despite being in NZ, but it feels like pure gambling whether ESO is having a good day or a bad day.

    Maybe pacrooti is in charge of their networks now. :)

    BGs is practically unplayable tonight. Constant freezes/rubberbanding, skills/potions/barswaps not going off, all while my ping is under 100 the entire time.
