This New PvE Mechanic needs to be removed or nerf'd

MaxwellC · May 2016

When Thieves Guild launched ZOS put this mechanic in PvE and so far it's become clearly OP. People are wiping, heck even whole raids are wiping repeatedly thanks to this new mechanic. When Thieves guild launched dungeons became painful to do and VMSA became even more painful then it has already been to do, all thanks to the new mechanic. Players are frustrated about it and with that said I believe it needs to be removed/nerf'd completely.
The mechanic called 'Lag' in PvE needs to go back from where it crawled out from during the Thieves guild launch. This mechanic has nearly ruined the experience of PvE which was clean connections for the most part but now you're experiencing lag on par with prime time PvP in solo instances like VMSA which is out right ridiculous.

So please @ZOS_RichLambert provide the silver bullet and end this new mechanic that once lurked in shadows and broad daylight of PvP.
-Discuss.

It's a new feature and as such it will never be formally mentioned in any way, because now it just "is". The only official ZOS comment you will see in this thread will be some moderator discussing the need to remove or edit some posts that used a word normal people use every day among themselves in normal conversation, but in this forum it is grounds for a ban.

I think I covered it all.

Yup that's literally the case now, you'll have the forum mods come in and give everyone hope till you realize it's just a forum mod and no one from the development side will comment or give any sort of acknowledgement to the issue.
It's not like this lag has been there since the bot net patch no.. this patch was introduced a few months ago.

Lol i was wondering what mechanic it was and then i read "Lag"... i lost it.

Smileybones · May 2016

Yeah right, lag is a "mechanic introduced into the game by ZOS", not sure if OP is trolling or just plain stupid.

Here comes a guy who clearly doesn't understand satire! Let's give a round of applause for him

Cogo · May 2016

You got this upside down. People wiping on tough challenges = Well done event.
I never understood why people rob themselves of overcoming any event themselves. Why "need" any youtube or anything other than your skill?

Edit: Better? I am not english! How's your swedish grammar?

Don't question your humoristic skills, they are clearly impressive.

Obviously with the wild success this mechanic had in PVP for some time now, it is no wonder that it was added to PvE.

Well that also explains your corresponding lack of a sense of humour.

Try living on the other side of the globe ( Australia ) to where the servers are hosted then you will know what real lag is.

I'm not Aussie, but I understand and agree

Since I never PvP, I couldn't understand what people were always complaining about. However, the other day I was in Cyrodiil with my new character collecting Skyshards and Lorebooks and happened upon a Dark Anchor. I decided to solo it, but as soon as it started, it was LAG CITY the entire time... taking 2-3 seconds for skills to activate, etc. Here I was the ONLY player involved, and nothing but lag. As soon as I completed it and walk a few feet away from the anchor, the lag stopped. Go figure.

MaxwellC · May 2016

That sucks I'd hate having to deal with even more lag.

IV1IVJA · May 2016

I'll admit, you had me for a moment there. I was about to go on a rant about people complaining that the game was too hard, even though the content has been nerfed so much since beta.

MaxwellC · May 2016

@IV1IVJA
I thought it would make people laugh really hard when they finally figured out what it was about XD

I gave up on folks understanding humour on this site.
It's fairly hopeless.

Shadesofkin · May 2016

Oh man, I had spiders in the Maelstrom practically teleport to me and I died, it was rough. I mean...I get that we've got a major update coming, but that lag has got to go.

MaxwellC · May 2016

^Couldn't agree more

Everyone complaining that dungeons were too easy should be applauding this new difficulty-increasing mechanic!
