Possible Return?

uso245 · October 2015

Hello I'm Uso,

I used to play this game like crazy and was originally one of the first members in the beta and I played up until around the release of IC. Anyways the reason I took my break from the game was one key point being the horrendous lag from players using lag switches. ZoS has said in the past they were looking into it and I've been busy with work, classes and playing a different game. Truly no many games are like ESO out there which is why I'd love to get back into it however if the issue regarding lag switch exploits haven't been resolved or some sort of counter measure been placed I probably wont continue with the game which is a shame since the game does look really nice in at least the PvE world.

Sincerely
Uso

I don't think much has changed since IC, since that was only 5 weeks ago. Although lag in Cyrodiil I would say has improved, even in large group situations, it has been replaced with a bit more FPS loss. But that is more manageable imo.

In regards to people teleporting into resources (like sorcs flying BE) I have no idea if they ever fixed that kind of lag switch problem.

It was more of going through one of the gates in IC the lag would spike for a moment giving the enemy just enough time to kill you.

Never experienced that.

The game requires no sub, so might as well just try it out. Coming down ladders to the sewers offers no protection so you can be killed, same with going up to the districts from the scattered ladders around the sewers. But you do get protection through all doors.

I came back after a 5 month break, so for me the game is better. No ridiculous 20 consecutive dodge rolls plus critical charge plus uppercut spam scenarios. the lag is an issue, unfortunantly. I even experienced it when it was just me and three other people fighting.

I know that issue I was running fine and had the same person running back over and over to the sewer and one of the times he ran over my game instantly lagged but everyone ran fine soon as he died which was rare. I'm currently playing now and it seems like a majority of the issues are resolved keyword "majority" not all but again it is an MMO so that tends to happen. Now that they plan on coming out with regular large updates like next month I am a little more excited to play since originally playing the same old content over and over was burning me out.

Lag switches are still a reality and you still have the same masters of using it, Using it..

I've noticed one but he still died with my group ganking haha. Either way I have plenty of content and catch up on since I am grinding my four main alts from v15 to v16. Also need to start my farming for new dungeons and make new gear to prep new builds. To me since I just started IC two days ago (not counting it on PTS).
