Not a lot of votes yet, but I can see a trend emerging here.

I can't vote since I'm on the NA server (although I live in the EU^^), but I am having these problems, too. Especially in Cyrodiil, but sometimes also outside in the "normal" zones.

It happens that the game just logs me out (when I'm in Cyrodiil) without an error, just like as if I've done it myself. One time I couldn't leave a dungeon anymore since the game didn't recognize my character still being in Cyrodiil.
Or it lags so much (in battles only) that I need about 10 seconds to cast a spell (if it's possible at all), although my PC meets the requirements. So I get killed over and over again since I cannot defend myself in anyway. Quite frankly, it pisses me off.

Out of Cyrodiil, it happens sometimes that "I'm kind of" still in the game but I'm not anymore. I can move around, but I cannot "do" anything anymore, not even my Daedras follow anymore since they still "see" me where I was before the game slowed down my internet connection to below DSL (I usually have 16MBit, goes down to 1 or below).
The support doesn't seem to be able to help me there (but they tried hard, I have to say); in August I've had this problem constantly for weeks, then it went back to normal out of nowhere, and a few days ago it started again. It is NOT a provider/router issue, everything else I do in the internet works just fine. The speed also goes back to normal as soon as I quit the game. I've done ALL the troubleshooting there is, it doesn't seem there's a solution or an explanation for that.

Lags in Cyrodiil, unresponsiveness in all zones.

These are two separate issues and should be treated as such.

What's new since the migration is the "server lag" ("lag" is probably not an accurate term), where you can still move but everything freezes, you can't use skills or talk to npc,... and you're kicked from the the server with an error 318 if you press too many keys during the freeze. The duration can be up to 30 seconds.

I noticed no difference after the migration, good or bad. But performance in Cyrodil since update 4 is awful.

Lag was better in when servers were in NA.

The game it self was none responsive, but that wasnt lag.

Now game is fixed, but game lags in all zones.

EDIT: Also clicked on wrong option

I had no problems before the migration, and things are mostly fine now. I get the occasional session where there's a bit of unresponsiveness, but re-logging usually fixes it.

I've probably only had 3 or 4 such sessions, and I think they were all after the migration. I don't do PvP or groups/trials etc so my experience is largely solo PvE plus some cooperative PvE.

^^ Exactly this.
IIRC, however, it started with patch 1.3 ... I don't believe the server migration to have in itself affected my gameplay.

AOE cap is causing it.

Can you elaborate?

I now get 70fps solo, but that drops to as low as 5fps in large cyrodil zergs...
Never used to be quite this bad in cyrodil...

I can't vote, being in AU however I share these issues when playing on the EU server. I use both servers and there are definite connection issues with EU. If I lived in EU I'd have a purple response.

By now, I'm pretty sure it's worst during primetime, meaning server load definitely has something to do with it. Can't be the only reason though, as I also get these issues randomly every time of day. Sometimes the overworld is fine and a delve laggy as hell, sometimes the other way around.

In PvE I have not noticed alot of difference except in rivenspire, that zone gets hit by lag spikes so bad its like a natural disaster hits the zone frequently..

I cannot speak on cyrodiil as I did not do alot of pvp before the migration but at the mo on thornblade at primetime it is unplayable.

I think this poll's results paint a very clear picture of the lag situation on the EU server. Yes, to be representative and accurate, way more votes would be needed, but whether 60% of players have lag issues or 20%, it's too much anyway. Two things are needed from ZOS at this point, in my opinion:

1. CS needs to stop telling people it's their ISP that's causing problems.

2. An official statement needs to be made. Acknowledge the problem and tell us you're working on it. If at all possible, tell us you're testing solutions and give us a ballpark ETA.

I believe we are past acting like there is no problem. The affected players' mood is not going to get better by continuing this wall of silence.

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ @ZOS_JessicaFolsom‌ @ZOS_MichelleA‌ I know this is not your decision and I don't think anyone is blaming you guys, but we really need some communication here. Please apply some pressure upstairs.

From memory weren't all the Euro players always complaining about lag/responsiveness when they were playing on US servers?

I wasn't. Even if it were so, lag issues before the migration don't excuse lag issues after the migration.

As I remember there was a massive thread on how much lag and issues there were for the Euro players, and how migrating the server to Europe was going to fix everything.

Maybe the issue isn't the server location, as I play from NZ and somehow don't lag, maybe the problem is Europe.

If the problem is not with the server, but with playing from Europe, then how is it possible that I (and many others) had no issues before the migration?
