"Made some performance changes which may improve client-to-server communication responsiveness during high volume combat situations. We will continue to investigate this issue."

MAY? Really? wow. Glad i am paying a monthly fee for a speculative improvement. If I told my boss, I MAY improve XYZ, I wouldn't be happy with the reaction.

I MAY show up to work tomorrow, but still expect my paycheck.
I MAY do those reports you asked for, and they might or might not be written in crayon.

Don't know where you work but regular folks showing up for work late or not showing up at all for 6 months means "no paycheck" lol

Which is shame really, because most people do not do anything productive anyway, just move wealth from one place to another, spending part of it on this very process, therefore if they were paid and sent home, wealth of the society would go up. But this novel insight is yet to be discovered by general public.

No lag yet.

May show up <> May fix your problem.

I don't know any software team that has a 100% resolution rate within a development cycle.

Columba · November 2014

lag was a bit better tonight. still noticable but not 30 seconds long now.

riverdragon72 · November 2014

The lag is the same, the audio totally f-d up now, weapon swapping still wonky, PVP runs like a drunk bum in a china shop.

Lol of course that lag didn't get fixed with this patch, they didnt reduce the pop caps, nor do any kind of server upgrades.

They also didn't fix lethal arrow bug, so really not much in this patch. I think oil potsl snare should have stayed uncureable, so just a nerf imo. Maybe next week, something meaningful will be done.....

agreed on the oil but how many next weeks can this game take before you start seeing some real backlash? but do not fear because

of course they must have their best team working on fixing the pvp lag! *Sarcasm*

Yep, with the Elder Scrolls Online there's always next week.

Isn't it funny how most of these "next week" patches always come just after subs are up... could it be a planned strategy to have people sub just one more month in the hopes that Zeni actually manage to fix it.

Seriously, if you look back at the timing of almost all of the fixes of PvP's major issues... they've all been the day of or a couple days after renewals were up...

Tinfoil hat stuff? Or, obnoxious business strategy?

Suck it up guys

Just a typical situation when you throw a half-baked product on the market.

" We will continue to investigate this issue."
This is usually what scientist and/or engineers say, when they have absolutely no clue why something happens and how they are going to fix/explain it.

Lava_Croft · November 2014

At least you Yanks got an actual patch! Here in the Kingdom of Yurp we had hours of maintenance and no patch at all.

riverdragon72 · November 2014

Well at least you don't have the audio issues, and this patch seems to have made attempting to block attacks worse. It's bad enough now with the pew pew lethal arrow attacks every five feet but most of the time you can't hear it, or there is one constant PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT in combat now.

Agrippa_Invisus · November 2014

Turn your interface volume to zero. Solved the sound issues for me.

Still SO MUCH lag during battles, and the battle does not have to be that large. I have noticed that the lag spikes usually shows up about the same time certain enemy groups show up as well. Perhaps the two are linked, but if this is the case, then it is still on the shoulders of ZOS for allowing the system to be compromised and taken advantage of.

Regardless, the issues need to be heavily investigated one way or another. I will continue to post video of the unplayable lag and ability unresponsiveness until the issues are either fixed or it finally drives me away from the game. I remain hopeful, but after so long and nothing being done I do not expect much...

Kwas · November 2014

Look on the bright side, at least by the looks of it it's a ~6 GB download that solves nothing.

DezIsDead · November 2014

A wee bit off topic here, but don't really feel like starting a new thread. I am aware as the lag increases ground effects etc fail to appear, however today I was trying to kite a certain group from under the Alesia bridge into the open. Finally the followed me out from under the bridge. No animations occurred and I couldn't switch weapons. So I whispered the person who killed me and asked if they had stunned or hard CC'd me. They replied they had, so my question is, in the lag does the stun animation not occur? For more clarification I mean can you not see yourself stunned. Hadn't experienced it before so I thought I'd ask

Kwas · November 2014

Believe so.
