So I've been getting a little tired of the PVE grind and decided to get back into PVP. I typically play solo and went that route though I grouped up with a buddy for a bit as well but to be honest whether its a 2 man group or solo the experience is the same. Here are some general observations in no particular order.

1. Lag - I would estimate 75% of the time I would be getting frame rates so low that I literally could not attack people. In addition I would go from half/full health to zero in an instant. I would look at my death recap and see things that I did not see even see in gameplay. How are you supposed to defend/counter attacks you can't see? Which leads to another item...

2. Zerging - The level of EP zerging is so atrocious it crashes the server. I had no less than 6 disconnects. A couple of which would have given me a pretty good defensive/offensive tick. The ball groups are so large and they fire off so many AOEs (thank you destro ultimate) you literally can't play your character because of the lag it induces. Forget about bar swapping, using abilities, CC breaking. It ain't gonna happen. As a solo player it is pretty much impossible to accomplish anything anymore against these groups. It makes me better understand why people gank. I almost died from a much lower level character because I didn't see any of the things he attacked me with. Even messaged me and said "my level 300 cp almost got your xxx ass". I also got teabaged by a zergling. When I messaged him (which I know I shouldn't do and need to stop) he said he wasn't zerging. He said he was in a 3 man group. I kid you not there were roughly 40 EP at the keep. I guess his 3 man group just happens to attract 40 EP lol.

3. Broken Abilities - I had about a dozen macro slices on my 2-hander bar. I recorded the most egregious one. I chased a guy for roughly a mile stuck in the macro slice stance. Suddenly there was a flash of light (I assume my dawn breaker going off from 45 seconds ago) and the guy was dead. It made me wonder what the other player sees during this? Does it look normal to him or does he not even see what is coming.

4. CC Immunity? - I don't seem to ever get it even when I pop shuffle. These large groups just chain cc you and run you down.

5. Proc sets - Most of my recaps were from proc sets like Viper, Tremor, etc. I know its part of the game but I refuse to run them. I probably would be cool with these if the entire zerg didn't run them. Having 3 different people proc viper on you is just nasty.

All in all PVP in Haderus is all but unplayable and unenjoyable for solo play. Until ZOS institutes some changes these issues will persist. If the servers can't handle the load perhaps they should lower the population limit in these campaigns. It's pretty obvious the servers aren't up to it. Then it might force smaller group play as well as move people over to other campaigns to balance the load. I don't pretend to have all the answers but from my perspective the current state of PVP (at least on Haderus) is not worth playing. And I have a pretty strong build and understanding of the game. I can't even imagine newer players and how they must feel.

I know ZOS doesn't like angry negative feedback so I am trying to be constructive here but please listen to what your community is saying about the current state of PVP on Xbox.

I am sure there will be people who disagree with me and I respect that but I know a lot of my friends don't even bother with PVP anymore because of these issues so I do think there is a problem here.
