PvP Lag - The First Priority

JackDaniell · June 2015

Before anything else is changed, tweaked or added, the lag in PvP needs to be fixed. As a longtime PvP player who has greatly enjoyed the animation canceling system I am now finding myself incapable of playing to the speed and style I want due to constant server lag in PvP. This makes PvP very frustrating as my ability is capped by server limitations instead of my own. I'm sure many other people have experienced this issue of server lag.

If you have anything you would like to add please post.

Not so pro as JackDaniell,
but it sucks if you get croud-controlled and can't break free because of lag,
then die before you see the next 3 hits land.

400 kilometers from the server on glassfibre cable,
so that's not the problem.

Serg-lag,
if 2 groups of 24 players fight and spam EAO on each other so much,
that lag causes a 30 seconds delay on the server,
then something needs to give.

This happens so much it's rule rather then exception.

Thornblade (EU) has been unplayable this week. I tried different campaigns, wasn't as bad but still can't pull off decent combos via weapon swaps. Server wide it seems, blame it on the hot weather!

Killed by 5 successive sneak attacks last night from one player, no light weave in between. All seemed to hit in under 2 seconds. Server lag I am guessing? I should note, many group mates complained of lag but the population was only 1-2 bars each on chillrend and we were fighting in groups bigger than 12 a side.

I'm an aussie, we play at 270+ ping in good conditions. Last night was not good conditions (may have had something to do with crown store update though).

I have had many issues with poor server response. Unable to keep up with my actions per second. Funky weapon swaps and skill combo transitioning. Very upsetting in a competitive environment. I support the notion to make this first priority.

I would also like to note the poor server response even on low population moments. Albeit, the servers are no doubt worse on full population moments. Nevertheless, this is not ONLY a zerg-caused problem. There are many more factors that are not being addressed and I believe more effort COULD AND SHOULD be devoted to fixing this major issue.

Yours truly,
Patrick Scott

I stopped playing PVP too but then I realized I had nothing new to do in PVE so I decided to quit for a while :'(. So don't stop PvPing :P

They had a huge chance to fix the PvP lagg when the game went B2P, and there was a big number of players returning to see if the issues were fixed or not. And the old players were greeted by the exact same problems that was the reason behind them quiting in the first place...

From my returning old friends i think 2 decided to stay..

So all your friends stayed?

Well, I think this is pretty much the truth. PvP's poor performance and the VR leveling are the major reasons for many of our older and newer guild members to leave the game as soon as they got annoyed on a daily basis by any of it...

But well, seems like ZOS is only looking for the money they got for the box itself and not to keep players as a possible subscriber...

clearly not enough, since this crap is in the game for over a year as mentioned.

Quicky and Karisha stayed. Clik, Sandriks and many more decided to leave again.

I love when I die to some WTF instant dmg or 50k fall dmg and on respawn my first 5 casts fail or i can't streak/flip bars. It's like, oh, the server just stopped taking input again, phew business as usual.

very true, and there will be forever if is not going to be fix. redudance posts is an effect of a cause never solved.

on eso lunch there where so many campaing to choose. the solution of the lags problem is to open more campaing with a close number in a dedicated server; is something that was requested by customer so many time, but i donot see any intention to get out this problem

i bougth thise game for pvp, but i cannot play pvp becouse is frustrating die without have the possibilities to lunch a spell becouse of lags. fortunately the game is hudge, so you can find fun, but if you where looking for a nice mmo experience you get delusion instead.

This is the only thing that will bring me back to ESO.

defending Fort Ash on EU Azura 5 minutes ago, I just had a ping of 23667... 23 SECONDS of delay... that isn't exactly "gameplay" anymore at that point, is it?

I don't understand why they brought back fall damage when it wasn't fixed? Nearly every fight people die to it.

Turn based games are still games.

Look at Civilization.

this one blob i was in actually lost 6 members to it in one hit.. i survived since i didnt get the inital CC from the meteor.

it happened twice that day, to the same enemy blob. was some angry voices over TS.

pretty sure that enemy blob was doing it intentionally.
