    During PvP in the past few days, my group members and I have happened upon a pack of enemy players,

    Framerate plummets

    Everyone stands still

    the players who manage not to crash battle it out amongst themselves.

    Seriously - half of both our group and they enemy just drop and become motionless. It's pathetic that the lag hasn't been fixed after a year of this bs.

    It´s even laggy with a smaller amount of players fighting each other.. seriously, the patch just made it even worse as it already is. Thank you!

    Thornblade NA is (mostly) unplayable in its current form. Not much to discuss really. Same set of issues since launch. Has been worst since 1.6.

    I think it's the removal of the AoE cap.

    In Spellscar, if I pull three or four of the big packs and pop a Meteor on them, everything freezes up for half a second. Similarly, I notice the worst lag in Cyrodiil after an inner keep has been breached, and you get a mass of concentrated AoE damage and AoE heals. Pack enough people spamming Impulse, Meteor, Healing Springs and like into a small area, and time effing stops.

    There are two different types of lags:
    - Thats what you explain are "client side" lags.
    - If you see that skills not happened or dmg not go out, you got a "server side" lag.

    Today our campaign on EU crashed with server side lag and we had a rollback. :neutral:

    Both pve and pvp have been pretty bad on my system.
    It was fine before.
    Now I crash every hour. Have load screens that appear in battle. Weapons won't swap,until I'm dead.
    The only way I can get it to work lag free is on the lowest settings, and that isn't going to happen.
    I did an entire fresh reinstall, and nothing changed.
    Right now it's unplayable for me.

    What else was changed that made the performance go to absolute ***.
    As I've said before, EVERYWHERE GAME I PLAY IS FINE. EXCEPT ESO.

    Yes. All I was expected was for Cyrodiil to run a bit better now, but instead it just seems to run worse. Client performance tanks at 10-15 fighting now, while it used to be like 20-30 people in 1.5 and 50+ before the patch that didn't cause any problems caused performance problems.

    The skill lag has definitely gotten a lot worse with 1.6. Now when there are even small-scale battles, skills including ultimates will not work. It really irritates me every time I go to use ferocious leap and my character gets stuck in a kneeling position with wings protruding for 3 minutes with no one taking any damage around me. Or better yet watching someone drop 16 standards at once on a flag that do no damage and make the lag worse.

    Cyrodiil is basically completely broken right now because the only thing that is going to determine whether a keep will be taken or lost is how many players are able to stack on the front and back flags at a time because no one is doing any damage due to skill lag.

    I noticed the lag in Thornblade tonight as well. Got really bad in large battles I don't recall the exact numbers but eventually the game just crashed on me. Even outside the large battles the ping was pretty wretched.

    Everyone is like "1.5 was awesome, now we have way more lag bla bla bla".
    It's funny how everytime we get an update, we get new bugs, more lag, worse fps, making the old patch look great, when really it was a laggy hell as well.

    I'm having more fun killing Kagoutis in shadowfen than playing in Cyrodil, and kagoutis are boring as f***

    My FPS during larger battles in Thornblade seems to have improved, but my latency often spikes to red and then I hear the crashing down waves of Shooting Star :open_mouth:

    I noticed that every time I even went close to keep fights my latency would pop into the red and I'd lag horribly. But we spent most of last night NOT going near keep fights, and lag was minimal.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler any comments you can give us as to what the problems might be? Both Thornblade NA and EU have these problems and not just when the server is locked.

    p.s. next time can we help you test this more before release? We crashed PTS on the test and a second test wasn't run for some reason?

    No. It is happening on all servers in areas where there is good number of players. Siege offense/defense is almost impossible when the inner is breached because it will take your skills 5 minutes to execute. And this is on Chillrend.

    I think I crashed less during the beta testing...sheesh.
    My horse gets stuck on nothing, I roll dodge but still take damage when I shouldn't, cloak and will get charged, hit, prodded even after it has popped and I shouldn't be able to be poked.
    Hmm lets see...alliance indicators going poof...oh hey you look friendly...NO NO NOT FRIENDLY, NOT FRIENDLY!!!! *splat*
    Have issues where I can't use potions...
    Somehow I was crouched in sneak and managed to get owned when my detection indicator eye do-dad thingymabob was still closed. Rekt.

    I'll start making a list as things happen.

    On the bright side, I haven't fallen through the ground yet into nothingness?
    But there's still time for that.

    The lag is odd..there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. Ill be in the middle of a huge battle shooting my arrows..all is well..I come up against a group of 5 high level ppl and all of a sudden I'm stuck in shooting animation for 30 seconds..they're long gone once my bow goes off.

    Lag is server side . PS4 , XBox , my uber super computer doesn't make a difference if their gear can't handle it . PS4 and XBox experience server side lag just like PC's do . Swapping to console will not correct this issue .

    Yup, zos promised we would have zerg killers, blah, this game is more of a zerg fest now then it ever was. Siege damage is a joke, magicka denation is only good as a opener combo rotation, it does poo to the zerg.

    I had a good 2vs1 outside bleakers with a dk and a templar, killed both of them, went to the nearest keep to see the ad and dc zerg pushing each other. Mindless nonsense.

    Run to the resource, lure the pugs, pop warhorn, barrier, spam aoe and roots, run back, rinse repeat. I watched in stealth for a few and just logged, I'd rather watch paint dry...i want fights not zerg nonsense.

    I'm seeing what aoe BBQ was saying outside nikel the other night, its a zerg fest. We got a few 4v4 fights before the zerg shows up, forced to hide from the 30+ they send to kill 4 people...fun indeed.
