That's not lag....that's 30 FPS.

It is laggy like you're getting miniature lag spikes that ruin the animations every few seconds, right?

Just by chance does this only happen when you have a destro staff equipped?

I get this on ps4 but not on pc. Anytime a target (mob or player) dies it hitches with just a moment of lag. When in big zerg battles or farming groups of mobs that turns into all kinds of hitching and lag.

I also notice this on my Sorcerer with a Destruction staff. For some reason, it doesn't do it on my Templar.

My friend had the same issue.

Ive always wondered about that with this game and people who complain about lag. I play solely on PS4 and notice frames going crazy during zergs. In the other MMO I play (FF14) there is the option to limit effects for other people. This helps greatly in zerg-y situations and my PS4 rarely drops frames (if i put others to none and teammates to limited). Since I dont play on PC i never really check my connection during those "laggy" moments with this game and wonder if people are just getting special effect lag (ie frame rate drops) or real lag.

I have the game on PC. I prefer playing with a controller on my couch or laying down and didn't want groups/raids/guilds saying anything about my controller preference or losing in duels because I used a controller....so I bought the game on PS4. The frame rate drops killed it for me....some times I was getting like 15-20 FPS...meaning teleporting around. I HATE when people make the argument "well the human eye cannot see over 30 FPS so its ok if we make the game 30 FPS"....what they leave out of that argument is that the games are never LOCKED IN AT 30 FPS. I think these companies should have to put on console games cases what the FPS is from lowest to highest on average. I have no idea why the game isnt 60 FPS on PS4 Pro...that to me is just insane, but whatever. I enjoyed playing the game on PS4 but eventually switched back to PC for 60 FPS...it wasnt even the graphics. I have a $4,000 self built computer thats top of the line and still have FPS issues on PC when ULTRA settings are active in ESO. Only in ESO does this happen with my library of hundreds of games on ULTRA settings. However, on HIGH settings the game runs flawlessly. Now I'm back on PC playing with the elitest jerks that claim if you play with a controller you need to uninstall the game and download all of their addons or they will kick you from the guild or dungeon. But that is life. To be honest I've played this game with a keyboard and mouse....and a controller.....and with aim assist I don't think there is a difference.

Sounds like the destruction staff issue is caused by a memory leak, that's, something that should never make it into a live version of the game.

I was using a destruction staff at the time experiencing this lag, but I was also on a starter island where there were way too many other players, so it could have been either or.

You guys are being silly.

2 completely separate issues.

Destro kill is a known issue for months (MONTHS) to resolve this all you need to do is log out and log back in... it's a plain but it does resolve it. (Main is a mag sorc - ps4)

The other issue is for 3-4 weeks 90% of the oceanic player base have been experiencing massive lag issues.

That's a *** ton of people, I myself are from Sydney Australia and never get lag at all ever. But 100/100 with 82MB DOwnload and 60MB + Upload would do that.

Still, the lag issues need to be addressed urgently and an official statement would be lovely.

To have over 100 Australian/oceanic players effected is a really bad sign. (These are the people that I know of)

Also keep in mind they have fibre + 4gx connections everything works perfectly apart from ESO LOL... poor ***.
