I had this problem earlier tonight. Started getting 10k+ ping. I logged out, waited a bit, and logged back in. Played fine for the last 2 1/2 hours.
Edit to mention NA PC server

Whatever back-end work zos did on monday really messed things up.

I'm getting lag to the point where even light attacks don't work, never mind skills or interactables. Was in a group of 8 last night, no one was having the same experience as me.

Relog seems to fix it.

+999 lag problems here too, unplayable.

Wow, I felt like quitting this *** game; I can't duel, can't pvp, can't play in a trial without *** *** lag and fps issues. (I have a titan x, i5 and 32gb of ram)

Luckily I read this thread... hopefully they'll do something, maybe in two years time

They can make things working well ...but first they must break something. This is happening since launch.

And don't forget one thing..many personnel left ZOS ..many quality people ( remember Paul Sage, Nicholas Konkle? ) . They are trying to handle things with only a few people...so this is takes time and brain burning. Also there were many advises from the community to change the internet provider , to upgrade the band, to upgrade the servers ...but it seems ZOS doesnt listen..

I understand that every mmo must have patches ..honestly I can''t wait for them.

Usually a patch must fix things . If the patch fail...it needs a replacement with another patch to fix the things broken by the first patch...and so on...

What I cannot understand is why a very small patch like the one from Monday took 10 hours to implement ..and caused so many problems.
Almost every MMO company in the world needs max 2 hours of maintenance to implement a small patch.

Others even don' t need to take the servers down to implement patches. Look at Guild Wars 2.

ESO is a wonderful MMO ..and after One Tamriel has become a true MMO..but ZOS need more experienced MMO PERSONNEL ...people that know what are they doing ..and not making experiments on the customers.

Because ESO is a MMO in ES Franchise they ( ZOS) are not afraid in loosing customers because is an ES title.

An MMO in ES Universe is something huge that not every MMO Company could handle.

I'm sure ZOS could do it better if they will begin to listen to the Community

1. Upgrade your internet and band connection and make it redundant

2. Upgrade your servers .

3. Hire more experienced personnel ( in codding , tweaking , networking)

4. After the first 3 points you can upgrade the game engine ..modding it with some Unreal Engine or Cry Engine things ( many MMOS already did this)

5. I'm sure you can finish the UNfinished Justice System (also ..to have some open PVP areas would be nice )

6. If you hire good quality people ....certainly you can implement spell crafting.

7. ZOS ..u need more quality personnel ...more coders..programmers also...( Nobody understand how such a big company can't implement a transmogrify system in a MMO like ESO?

8. I love ESO ...I love ES series ..but please ZOS u can do more than this ...upgrade your systems and try to become a really pro company!.


Good luck!

English is not my native language.

My main problems : body markings(tatoos)disappearing EVERYTIME I change settings on my DK
Loading Screens in the middle of a conflict in Cyrodil rendering me vulnerable and catering my demise
And the inability to successfully log out whenever I want cause the game won't let me. And when someone who also had this problem talked to a mod he told me to just go to instant log out areas and offered no real solution.
Seriously I like and want to keep playing this game but it's things like this that really debilitate my quality of enjoyment in this game.

Day two of intermittent performance issues and being sporadically unable to log into characters. What has happened to this game?

Same... we had a vet trials event last night, sat in vSO and it was unplayable... screen would stutter... ping flies up... screen freezes.... then it comes up & BANG... DEAD!

It got bad in there a while ago, but was so much worse since this patch, no idea why.
