The Elder Scrolls Onlag (PvP Video)

skillastat · May 2015

Here is what to expect when you play The Elder Scrolls Online in Primetime PvP. When everyone is at the same place spamming AOE abilities, 80% of the attacks literally don't hit and those fights are extremely long.

Get rid of AoE from PvP.

P3ZZL3 · May 2015

Please can you clarify whether this is NA or EU in your post.

An important differentiator.

It wont. Those 50 heroic guys spreading out(thinking they're such freaking victims) are all bombing with Meteor and other ranged AoE.

Both mega servers have these issues tho. But I would to like to know which server. Mostly curiosity, since I have no clue how frequently you get unplayable PvP on NA.

On EU almost every campaign is full pop locked during primetime. So leaving Thornblade makes no difference, there's Meteor zergs v.s. lagtrains everywhere. Cant use 99% of your skills, cant set up siege, cant weap swap, bungy jump and rubber band back and fourth, no one takes dmg and the only way to avoid it is leaving PvP entirely.

EU also use to get it frequently in daily PvE dungeons, dmg wouldn't register so you had to disband and give up. But it seems they added some fix to that. It's much better. But no fix to PvP

Dont worry, its a feature... not lag.

Nope BS and not even kidding. AOE is not the issue. Pre Nerf there was AOE like crazy and nary a lag.

Seriously find another scapegoat.

(I do not AOE or zerg in pvp but I am telling ya - this is not the issue.)

Nope. Used to be huuuge 2 party zergs and not lag like this.

I know I am bashing my head against the wall here - but this is not the lag issue you are looking for.

What boggles my mind is that it doesn't appear that ZOS can identify the problem or are doing anything to fix it.

Sure, they are making changes to entice players to spread out into smaller groups, but that's not a fix. That's a bandaid.
Either they can't figure out the root cause, or they figured it out and just plain can't fix it.

This does not bode well for the future of the game.

This seems like the most probable situation. The only communications we've had "recently" are for players to try and spread out, which....is a pretty terrible "fix".

I forgot to turn on the HD on this vid. I'm gonna edit the first post once the HD version is uploaded on Youtube.

I can't remember if it was Brian Wheeler or someone else, and I can't find it, but someone said something about how it was deeply embedded in the code and would essentially be a huge pain to work on. Anyone remember this and know where it is?

its not like the game changed from one server to the other. the issue persists. Go to the PvP forums server local is irrelevant.
it a ZoS [snip] up problem not a problem by the players.

hd version is now up !

From the title I was expecting to see rubberbanding, and freezes that were just horrific. Could someone explain to me what part of that 1st video was the lag? Im not trolling, I really didnt see it. I haven't PVPd yet and am asking so I understand what others run into before I try it out for the first time.

Is it just delay in skill press to skill firing off?

Stravokov · May 2015

i stopped playing on ESO, server should be less laggy, YOUR WELCOME!

Nobody is using weapons or any skill really other than an aoe, because they can't. Can't even weapon swap.

edit: Also check out the fps and ping in the lower left

So what's causing the FPS drop again?

These videos don't really depict the worse case scenario .

How about a video showing fifty or sixty players in the middle of a battle all standing still for a few minutes during a huge lag spike and then rubber banding back and forth after it ends or being bumped to the log in screen.

Such impressive skill on the part of all the VR 14 AOE spammers .
