If you gave us the option to reduce our graphics and toggle off things like useless grass. PC have these options available with the standard stock version of the game.

I know it's possible on console so don't give me that lol...

If you dont like it, you don't have to use it, but dont stop those of us who would from having the option of turning things like this down or off completely.

Sure the gains might be mininal, but it's still a gain.

Not just grass though, give us other options as well like hiding other players completely instead of loading in 100 people we don't care about. Reduce textures and draw distance.

Obviously we don't need ultra high settings, just normal and low would be nice.

you will see ZERO improvement , cuz the bottleneck on PS4 and Xbox is the CPU , not the GPU : )

I would beg to differ. If nothing else it would help out with load times, random load screens and it would increase your FPS by a bit even if you were to just toggle grass off.

Have you never used these options in other MMO's? It does significantly increase FPS and reduce load times regardless of any bottlenecking. Less to load automatically means better loading and FPS.

I've been playing MMO's for over 20 years. Trust me, options like these help. It would especially help for people with regular ps4's and Xbox ones, that dont have pro or one x.

You're also basically claiming that console is permanately screwed due to the limitations of console and giving ZOS a free pass not to fix any issues with performance. Why do other MMO's I play on ps4 like Tera not have this issue? I lag here and there, but not stutterstep, flash step, ninja vanish all over the place.

Plus, they have already tried to alleviate some of the lag by changing how and in what order players load in. That's why they said it would mean as a result you would see more black figures while it loads in other things first.

So completely removing the need to load other players in on my end in big cities would be an even bigger improvement, no?

Its their bugs honestly, as even on PC there is lag...I'm running an i7 with Samsung SSD, and 32 gig of ram on google fiber 1 gig wired connection. I get lag there too vs my xbox one x running a Samsung SSD and wired google fiber connection

I never said it was the only source of lag. Their engine, servers, coding, etc is flawed or bugged in some way. I never said it would fix any and all issues and I did say the benefits might be minimal.

I didn't say it was the graphics either. I didn't even imply it. While they figure out how to fix the real issues they have with it, this could be a simple (albeit minor) step to help alleviate some of the problem.

Regardless of what you say, less resolution in textures, not having to load objects like decoration, not having to load players or their mounts and abilities, would ultimately increase FPS even IF ONLY by a SMALL MARGIN. Would it be the dream solution? Of course not.... However when I frequently have low fps any slight boost helps.

This game has always been laggy on console. Don't see it changing tbh....
