Amongst my friends and i who play together, we're all agreeing that the game feels less responsive in PVP than it used to, (prior to dragon bones update) Not only dose it feel like im a bit weaker taking on a lot more burst from other players, especially stam classes. i also find i am hammering skills until they go off sometimes crit rushing through players and dawnbreaker the other side of them facing away.
The game to me is feeling much laggier, and i as a player feel weeker, and dodge chance is even more op.
im a decent PVP player its mostly where i spend my time in ESO,
Dose anyone else feel this is the case? How dose your class / build and your performance feel after the update in PVP for you?

    Yeah agreed, Don't have the greatest gaming set up ever but usually don't have issues with lag unless big zerg rolls in. But now in pve even on a simple quest my fps is way low (18-22) and ping is way high. all settings are on low. My internet hasn't changed at all. Very frustrating. Have tried multiple things I have read about or tips to improve both but nothing has helped.

    For me it is worst both FPS and Ping. FPS sudden drop is actually the biggest impact.

    Every update plays worse, eventually it will just be a potato.
    The numbers thing is always going to be there, but it’s more down to player skill and there are ways through ability choice to configure a group to be stronger vs. large groups of people. - BRAIN WHEELER - 2012 - LOL

    Yes, skills don't register properly even with no one around and no server lag showing on the latency meter.

    Also, I've seen the annoying nothing happens then you get hit by 3 skills instantly a lot more with this patch.

    Weird Thing, yesterday after the Patch servers were running very smooth up until I went offline, at midnight Berlin time(xbox eu), but I usually avoid PvP until the first patch comes out plus I make some good gold selling mats after the Patch drops because the prices always skyrocket.

    Cannot barswap reliably, cannot use skills on time. All contributes to me being dead very often and opponents will probably see me spamming strange skills because bar never swapped. Lol like mist form instead of whip for example.

    My stinkin' impale execute never seems to react when i want it to. Weapon swapping hardly works when needed. I lag a lot, crash a lot and loadscreen a lot. I hardly can find any fun in PvP.

    But PvE is not much better. I tried some dungeons with some guys and they first complained about lag and stuff and suddenly 1 disconnected. Well i cannot remember the dungeon name, but it was the one with the green tigers with some ape-elf in a tree who jumps down.

Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Personally im finding pve to be better, but not quite as smooth as it was. But in PVP its quite drastic how difficult it is to perform well now.

    Glad I'm not the only one that has seen a nose dive in performance. I haven't had many issues in the PvE world (although I don't PvE much) but in Cyrodiil my FPS has dropped a lot, like probably to the tune of 15-20 FPS in small scale PvP.

    Also just as annoying is the weapon swap bug, I posted about it here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/397924/weapon-swap-bug-animation#latest

    personally i find that none cp bg's arn't as bad as cp enabled campaigns - but the issue is still there across the whole game it seams to. (this is only since after the dragon bones update might i add )

    It's way worse now, in BGs if you kill someone they float around on ground for a little bit. I'm used to it now. It happens more than not

    This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if they were targetable. But they’re not.. and they can still attack you.

    Many new bugs were introduced with the small patch on Monday the 26th of February. Have a look in the forum for Templar bugs. Templars were performing well until the incremental patch. Templar problems with Sweeps and Jabs as well as Healing not working, players floating through the air, invisible barriers in door spaces in Cyrodil. The list goes on and on. Not a word from ZOS on this mess they created with that small patch on Monday.

    The game is definitely worse at least on Xbox. Can’t bar swap reliably at all and coupled with the lag it makes small scale near impossible. I really dont see how this game still has so many issues this late in life. I absolutely love open world PVP but when you dont even feel like you have control over your character it becomes almost untenable.

    Yep, a lot. much worse than after an average patch. Far more broken abilities in addition to more lag problems. Certainly one of the worst patches stability wise not to mention the whole XP in imp city issue as well as the 1 crown house issue at launch. Not great work.
    I am currently worried for the future of ESO. Population seems like it is in free fall and the cancellation of the North America in-person gathering feels very much like pulling the plug. Kudos on fixing the in-game economy though. Clearly whatever gold shenanigans were happening the last couple years are fixed.

    Anyone been having problems with resto ult? This happens to me alot now, hit by a burst, barswap to shield and pop resto ult and "attempt" barswap animation cancel to get back on offensive. Healing ward goes off but resto ult doesnt. I end up dead or button smashing to back bar trying to shield once I realized resto ult didn't go off.

    Can't tell if it's lag on my end or zos problem

    That's all Ults and abilities, right now they take up resources but fail to fire. I've also seen it with *** or the Dead

    It may be that heals in general become bugged and a character becomes un-healable

    In PvE sure, but in PvP it happens to your opponents who are trying to kill you... they won’t exactly let you run away to rerender.
