Unplayable

I'm currently in Vatershan Hollow, an arena I have done many times, and an arena I have the trifecta for. Tonight, it is simply unplayable.

Bar swaps taking 2 - 3 button presses.
Skill firing taking 2 - 3 button presses.
Potions taking 2 - 3 button presses to register.
Intended target not being hit - despite having them tab targetted and having the reticle over them.

These problems have been building for a while, but since the last patch in particular they are a lot worse. Both my ping and desync are below 100ms.

Oh, and bash takes 3 attempts to interuppt anything.

    I know your frustration and add 150ms haha. Ah good times.

    Lowest player numbers since 2017 on steam so you can't blame them for overloading the server.
    This recent update has made me sad. Sad for the game. Sad for the community. Sad to pay whatever it is now. I want the previous eso back.

    there definitely has been a change in performance. I haven't played this game in nearly 2 months now only to come back yesterday to borderline Cyrodiil levels of lag that you'd experience during prime time. It took smashing skills 2-3 times for anything to go off. This was in a guild house at 9AM EST and I had no detectable issues with my ISP

    It is so bad, so horrid, I do not know how it can be this tragic. I need to smash my head on the keyboard for anything to register, maybe hopefully if stars align, if not then well, imagine playing the game really, because you can only play it there, in your head. It is so immensely infuriating I can't even describe it. Anyone still playing this game for combat (pve or pvp) has something wrong with their noggin for real. And this being on top of a million other bugs making the game not function properly..... I do not even know if there is hope for all of this to get better, or if it's just a lost cause at this point.

    Last night was horrible. I crafted about 6 of the same items at the same time and game locked up. Usually it does drag a little when doing that. I gave up and came back later. It was ok after an hour or so.
