At this point we are just repeating ourselves, but: The servers are even worse than before. Skills are not going off at all, buttons need to be pressed 3 times to get 1 skill working. Bar swaps is not possible at times or the bar swaps occur 3 times in an instant (swap-swap-swap). When an enemy targets you with some kind of knockback ability (drainign shot, meteor etc.) the game will pull you back to some random point or the knockback will happen a dozen meters from where the actual impact happened. Potions are not working, need to be pressed 5 times.
This is on PC EU, Sotha Sil PVP campaign, so not even CP activated.
I'm a long time PvPer, so I know how bad the servers can be. But after this patch it is just ridiculous.

FlyingSwan✭✭✭✭✭Yup, worsens with each patch.
But meanwhile, the Crown Store is bursting to the gills with brightly coloured LED encrusted mounts and pet plushies designed to appeal to Ritalin deprived teens on acid, so all is good with the world.10 -
UPrime✭✭✭✭No problems here. But I usually don't PvP right after a patch release because there are more people playing than normal. I think that's what you're seeing. New release so everyone piles into Cyrodil until there's enough lag to get them to stop.
And no matter how much better it runs there is still more people interested and gather in a small area in it than they can support on the server. So it feels like it never gets better.1 -

✭✭Keep in mind that two things which usually bring in more people are happening at once right now; holiday event and DLC drop. More people = more server load = worse performance. Especially at prime times.
Not excusing or denying all the performance issues, of course (you'd think a multi-billion dollar conglomerate like Zenimax would be able to fund away such problems if they wanted to, right?), just saying... Don't judge the overall performance to have gotten markedly worse as a baseline until the "omg! new stuff!" crowd has passed through. Bugs need fixing and the "regular" population numbers need to normalize before we can make broad complaints like this.
If you see specific bugs, go report them. It can be more likely to help the issue you're complaining about.1 -
kadochka✭✭✭✭✭There has been a noticeable increase in performance issues recently. PC NA.
My NA logins only work half the time. Other times it wigs out and gives me one of two errors.
EU is better, I guess... but still having issues.if I could make another character, their name would be Cries-For-Character-Slots. AKA, I need more.

Synthwavius✭✭✭✭The servers are obviously experiencing time dillatation phenomena while passing thru the dolmen eye and behaving like they were manufactured in the First Era.
Yeah the lag in recent days is just insane at times and I'm not even doing PVP.0 -
Mancombe_Nosehair✭✭✭✭✭I don't PvP so I can't comment on issues there, but performance for me is considerably better than this time last year, when my game was crashing every 15 minutes at best. Last Halloween was brutal for performance.
I am on pc eu.0 -

✭✭✭are we even surprised anymore? Every single patch the performance gets worse. You are not the first to complain about it and you will not be the last zos ignores about it.0 -
Noticed this issue, had to repeatedly tap on a key four times before it went off, light attacks were working but it messed up my rotation as it won't come out.0

✭lol i had 10 sec 999+ ping spike in vma today in addition to 3 smaller ones
(not to mention overall desinc, unpassable terrain and other bugs)
i had not a single vma run in last months without those lags and/or bugs
just to mention - i have strong gaming rig and 100 mb/s connection =D
(sometimes i do speedtest exactly during eso lag spikes just for lulz)
how can you ask about any pvp server stability when
there is lags in SINGLE PLAYER arena =D0 -

Because they're money grabbing corporate *** who'd sooner line their own pockets than invest in their players. Server updates cost money, wanna really push ZOS into updating them? F**king boycott the game for a month and cancel your eso plus. C**ts.2 -

EllieBlue✭✭✭✭I had the weirdest PvP experience yesterday evening (Australia based + time zone). I was standing atop the keep at the main gate of Chalman, watching out for EP players. Outside main gate Chalman (at the time Blue Chal), EP players were gathering but they were just jumping at one spot. Some DC went out of the main gate and seems to have joined the rain dance the EP players were performing. It went on a good minute (seems longer because it was so peculiar) then all of a sudden, the main gate was in the middle of being sieged and at 47% hp.
Before that, a group of DC players went to Arrius which was red at the time. We took all 3 resources and were fighting some EP just outside Arrius main gate. My screen froze for a good 30 sec or so, as it tends to happen quite often whenever a fight is taking place. But when I started moving again, all 3 resources were red again and not a single DC player was around. The fight has ended and not even a single EP player was at the fight site. And I was standing there all by myself.
I was a little bit unsettled by the whole thing, I must say. Usually, whenever my screen freeze, I would just be on the ground dead or be disconnected from getting kicked out of the server. But losing a whole chunk of "time" is a whole new experience for me.

TbawSoul ShrivenI posted about this issue a few days ago. Appearently it has something to do with the game coding, but I suppose that all the new abilities, zones and CP's comming each patch won't help the servers either.
I think cyrodiil will stay a laggy shitshow until this games servers are eventually shut down.PC EU

Ramber✭✭✭✭I agree, there are more and more people getting disconnected from trials and getting low FPS and freezes. I myself at times freeze for a few seconds waiting for the buffer to let all my abilities catch up then im ok again... also, light attacks have suffered in parses and trials.0

Yup, nothing like a mass exodus of paying customers for a company to increase its investment

✭✭I don't PvP but the bar swap and delayed action is an issue in PvE as well. While the patch seems to have helped my pet stay alive I see more silhouette players now that I did before it went live. I have also had problems with guild traders where I can pull up an item search and the following searches fail with a messages that implies the database is empty.0
