Lag issues are perpetually becoming worse

✭✭✭✭✭
some months ago, severe lag issues were creeping up whenever big battles happened in cyrodiil.
Despite ZoS statements that they are working on those issues, Lag related problems have only been getting worse and worse ever since.
It is now common that fights involving 40 people total (sometimes even less) result in skills not firing, damage not registering, doors not working, etc.
These fights are in no way compareable to the "hundreds of players on screen at once" battles the game was advertised with - and which, incidentially, were somewhat play-able when the game initially launched!
But it is no longer only Cyrodiil: Lag issues are now also plaguing PvE:
Doing the daily undaunted pledge during prime time? expect to see the boss warping around the instance, skills not firing, taking no damage for extended periods of time, then suddenly recieving damage and knockdowns without ever seeing corresponding boss activities... Simmilar situations are seen in the trials.
The game is quickly devolving into a state were playing at prime time is generally not advisable - no matter if PvP or group-PvE is desired (hell, I'm starting to see minor lag spikes while solo-questing!).
And if one is into PvP: better stay away from any relevant objective, as battles involving 30+ people are prone to turn into lag-fests...

This actually happens also when soloing PvE content, especially during the last days, but also during the last weeks and even months, it just comes and goes.
At the moment I'm in a transition from one ISP to another and have 2 running but separate connections. One has 16MB/s, the other 100. No difference when playing ESO. This definitely IS server related.Venus Ocean - Breton Sorceress VR16, EP, Tamriel Hero | Gixia - Breton Sorceress VR16, EP, Tamriel Hero

Indeed. I had 45 ping in The Rift just now, finishing up Cadwell's Gold for the 4th time and whacking on mobs to finish up getting another CP and everything just lagged and lagged and lagged.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Huge amounts of lag in Auridon/Roost. Logged off and it gave me an Error 318 which is kicked for spamming/flooding.
Even though I didn't type a single thing.
This is why we can't have nice things.signing off0 -
Morvul✭✭✭✭✭what's getting to me the most about the entire lag-situation, is that it's not improving but in fact continually deteriorating further...1

Indeed jumped on yesterday just moving around Auridon. I had been kicked out of the game for spamming even tho i was not typing. Loading screens twice and it took forever for anything to load. Whats worse is i have cable net normally 10 mbs download speed this should not be happening to me.0 -

We have been trying to get ZoS to fix the lag, kick cheaters/exploiters, and fix bugs but almost nothing has been done. After the Imperial city comes out I'm cancelling my subscription because I don't feel like giving my money to help fund a game that is not getting fixed a good idea. If the ESO community as a whole cancels their subscriptions then maybe conditions in the game will change for the better. Either fix the lag and kick the cheaters/exploiter or my money is staying in my pocket.Legions of Mordor Guild Officer

It sure does. Yesterday, one of the skills on my dk's bow stopped functioning. Weapon swap also stopped functioning. Not 100% sure though if this is skill lag or another bug. Templar suffers from the same problem with skills on the bar failing to function.
As for pvp type of game play, from my experience with a different game, lag is far from uncommon when large scale group battles occur.Your immersion is breaking my entitlement. Buff Sorc's.

✭Everyone I've been grouped with over the last 48 hours has had issues with bars not swapping, skills not firing-off, attacks not initiating.
Been running content with the same people for months, so this isn't out of the blue.Wake up, we're here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up...0 -

✭I think that PTS running along game is negatively affecting the live game.
Since the start of PTS ive noticed decrease in performance of live game. It could be that PTS is also kind of NA server (maybe, maybe not, not sure) so along everyone playing on live NA server, now PTS which could be also NA is taking extra load from EU players who join it.Edited by Rinmaethodain on August 2, 2015 7:23AM0 -

I honestly don't think there are many subscribers left by now.2
