Why is console better than PC? :(

Maybe ZOS can use console data to figure out how to reduce the lag on pv. On the other hand there are no guild trains clashing on console (yet)

But on Pc you have a 8v8 or something and your Fps drops below 30 already..

If you have fps issues, lower your settings. The only lag that bothers me in pvp is server side non responsive lag.

Lowering your settings don't help. I'm getting exact same fps with everything on and Ultra and everything off and Low in siege battles. It only differs when standing in the middle of nowhere alone. Might be bcs of my pc but I don't have bad rig at all.

I confirm, you must either upgrade or change your PC. No reason you should get bad fps. This bug was fixed a long time ago. Even tho the game takes way too much ressources, with a decent computer, you can easily get above 40fps in every situation at medium with shadows at low.

Maybe I should. That bolded part is what I do normally. I get smooth gameplay with average 40 fps in almost every pve encounters raid etc and small scale pvp fights anything is not above 20v20. But if im in a big siege battle, my fps goes down drastically even though I'm just sitting inside the keep, literally nothing in my screen other than me and some npcs. This is happening after the lighting patch. It was indeed fine before.
So I just avoid big siege battles for now for my own health

yep i can say ive been in huge battles in non vet cyrodill on xbox one with 3 pop locks and no lag or performance drops at all.

maybe thats before meteor spam becomes a thing, but for now its like old school beta cyrodill and its great fun.

Frame drops =/= Server lag

This, and my PC doesn't drop below 30 unless I'm in THE BIGGEST SCROLL TEMPLE FIGHT EVER, basically, in PVP. And I'm running 4k G-Sync with beyond in-game-max settings on the textures to boot. It's your PC that affects the framerate... server latency aka "lag" on the other hand? That I have heard is far better on the console megaservers. Given the purportedly huge sales there and the overall attention they've focused on the console launches while largely slowing down/not answering most concerns and feedback from PC and Mac players for the last few to several months... color me unsurprised. I imagine they put in far more resources to the console megaserver machine clusters, too.

This is wrong, console has the same FPS issues as PC. At least the Xbox version does. I'm going to post a video later today showing you how bad it is. It has however not lagged yet, but that's almost definitely for the reasons others mentioned, people haven't unlocked the right abilities yet.

Will be interested in seeing it. I've spent today watching streams with 60+ players on screen and everything running well, and talking in ts with the people playing (PS4). I think once people start spamming healing springs things will change though.

Presenting the Xbox version:

I hv been in Cyro enough to see 50 vs 50 with no lag.

And some cases of lag doing 2 vs 2. And the lag was gone the second 'that' guy was killed.

There are some players in certain color I try to avoid coz they have the ability to disable my swap weapon.

I am moving to console coz it is less likely that they have "third party special skills" installed

the "3rd party special skills" are as prevelent on consoles as they are on PC as they require alot more to be used in terms of criminal energy, and those investing taht amount of energy don´t care if its on PC or console...

I still love this game, and hope it will be better for console.

Just last week, i was in stealth and ambushed a guy from behind who was running (not blocking)

My ambush landed and I just dropped dead in 0.1 second. In the death cap, I got hit by 5 times.

That gay started to turn around after 2 seconds after I was dead.

Not lag, as I was the one who initiated the attack.

And I also found out the auto invisible (another 3rd party special skill) is becoming popular.

Even they are on siege, they went invisible just a split second before my ambush hit.

thats actually a bug that happens all the time(especially when the server have not been restarted for some time) where upon attacking/being attacked the char does not correctly leave the stealth modus (displayed by the crouching animation eventhough you or they have been or were attacking some one) and is going to be hidden after ~1sec of not actively attacking or being attacked.

This weekend my cousins and I finally got to get into Cyrodiil so they could experience the PvP part of the game and we had a lot of fun. We joined the new non vet campaign on PS4, Juilek, and there's ton of action on that campaign. We first tried queuing up for BWB but DC had a queue of almost 200 on Saturday night to get in.

The craziest fight we had was Saturday night. We tried to defend Arrius keep but after 4 and a half hours of constant action from AD and EP trying to capture the keep, we finally got overwhelmed and lost the keep. It was the most fun pvp experience I've had in the game so far on either platform.

Overall, ESO on console has exceeded my expectations. If you'd like to join us on PS4, send me a friend invite. My PSN is UGotPlanchard

maybe not server lag but something server side, no? Can't be coincidence when 5 people in raid crash at the same time or everyone in server says "LAG" in zone at the same time.

Tankqull · June 2015

frame drops -> your hardware |||| lag, disconns -> server hardware

you get it now?

Greatest thing I have seen yet from console players was on a live stream, a group of about 6 players ( lvl 10 ish) found a v14 sorc open world. The sorc started bolt escaping and the players lost their ***. "WTF!!! HE IS TELEPORTING!!!! RETREAT RETREAAAATTTT!!!" Haven't got a laugh like that out of this game in a while. Wish I could wipe my memories of all the min maxed builds and just have fun in pvp, hard to have decent fights when everyone maxes their damage/survivability. Can't blame ppl for doing it. got to if you want to stay competitive but pvp the first few weeks of the game were awesome.
