    Didn't you post this video already here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/395650/have-you-ever-lagged-this-much

    As well as two previous threads (which now seem to have been removed) with the same video link? I can understand wanting to get more visibility but creating duplicate threads isn't the way to do it and will just attract the ire of the mods.

    Sorry, I can't watch your video because I'm playing with extremely unstable 100kb/s. (and I'm not joking)
    One of the two of us definitely has gone mad. It only remains to define whether this one is the whole world or just me.

    How would you suggest someone gets more visibility then?

    One thread for each new video on ESO Forums, Reddit and Facebook (if you run a Facebook for your channel).

    Twitter you can get away with multiple tweets about the same subject a little more. Most content creators do this by doing one initial tweet, then later in the week do a follow up tweet as a reminder, at a push they can do a third. You can add #ESO #ElderScrollsOnline hashtags to get these tweets into the feeds of anyone following them.

    If you have fans who follow any social media accounts you run encourage them to share (retweet) your content to help with visibility.

    When posting new content put links to some of your other content in the thread, this way you can attract views to older videos without creating duplicate threads.

    No one minds content creators sharing their work and trying to get more visibility, but creating multiple threads with the same content (and that being just a link to a video) could be considered spam by the ESO forums mods.

    Edit: Also try to create discussion in the forums threads you make. By having people talk in the thread or leave comments about the video you'll get more posts making it stay on front pages longer and garner more attention. This can be somewhat achieved by giving a bit more information or asking a question with the video rather than just providing links to videos alone.

    It's also possible to reach out to some ZOS staff depending on the videos you create to get a signal boost from them in form of a tweet, featured in an article etc.

    Do you have the ports open on your router for the game?

    https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1133/kw/Ports

    Google Make and Model of your Router and "Port Triggering" for detailed instructions on how to do this.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Why do you even want to be more noticed by the forum? The more common your name is here the more likely people will start going out of their way to give you crap for whatever you say.

    I was going to ask "What's your latency" until I saw the word console. Frankly, on PC I've got 95Mb/s and a latency of 300+, where people complain about 190, Australia, even with the NBN, sucks for this games latency. I think the main issue is the number of connection nodes between your ISP and the ESO servers and you really can't do much about that.

    Im thinking you need to turn off some mods. TTC, MM, Harvest map... anything that doesnt relate to PvP will lag you to death. That was the issue I had. Now I gloriously with no lag at all.

    that would come close to an Iridium satellite phone connection with 10kb/s - which is about 20 bucks per minute.

    My internet has 1000 KB/s max. Primetime that is used by my brother and me (both playing games and listening to youtube most of the time) and my mom watching some streams.

    So my connection open alone for eso is less than 500kb/s most of the time. And my ping is still fine most of the time being abou 90-100 in normal pvp with 250 when its laggy zergs.

    Occasionally there is a lag spike caused by my Internet but mostly its fine
