Wonder why they bothered with the extra outposts doesn't seem popular this cyrodill. Then again the only reason I ever used this particular sub-forum was to ask a question.

This is so subjective, hinting on anything from PC hardware, to network hardware, to ISP, connection type, location, server issues, overall server population, and just general perception. I’d love to see better performance as would we all but this poll isn’t going to show much.

This poll shows how people feel during a 48vs48 battle. How people feel is subjective true. But there is a control and that is 24vs24 battles. Bar lock, 5 second cast times, disconnect on approach, siege is busy all depend on what the server accepts from the client. Does this happen in 48 vs 48 or does it require greater numbers?

I believe 4 campaigns ago DC had emp and was defending the emp keep ash and scroll. Ash had a garrison + emp group patrolling around the keep. The keep got hit from the north by an EP group probably around 48ish in size. That was beaten back then from the south by an AD group about 48 in size. Then from the north again by an EP group about 48 in size. I don't remember having "siege is busy". Since then has the server been downgraded is it getting hit by more DDOS these are questions I can't answer. I'm looking for the general opinion on 48vs48 battles and the lag/performance during those battles.

Right now what I'm seeing is something approaching an inverted bell curve which itself is very telling. It's not very many data points but it might suggest anything from people who would have voted a low number quit because of lag to people using the general forum for issues and not this forum to personality cults distorting the data(something which might also happen in alphas and betas) to these forums being useless for data.

48v48 feels horrible for everyone. Stop it.

Oops, I thought 1 was hardly any lag and 10 was dying of lag

I think the problem is more performance than lag. Lag is when you character is in one spot then suddenly appears in another spot 2 seconds later. Or when you disconnect on approach to a dense battle. Bar lock and siege is busy I think is a performance issue with the server/client structure. 5 second cast times if that was lag would imply a ping of 5000+. I know a class representative has appeared in this forum before. They signed some NDA and have insider info whatever that is. Can this problem be improved? Can battles be partitioned on the megaserver? The megaserver was supposed to be a big feature of ESO. Cyrodill lag is definitely partitioned from everything outside cyrodill.

Based on what I am seeing the server is throttling certain actions such as casts and siege and simply not allowing more players to enter a densely populated radius which would reduce load but at the same time bars a faction from reinforcing an area. And that disconnect wall doesn't depend on how many of your faction is in an area but rather on the total number in the area so you can't reinforce and have an evenly matched battle. And evenly matched battles are the cream of cyrodill whether you win or lose that battle.

Normally I don't lag much unless in a huge fight. If i do lag it isn't "OMG this game sucks" kind of lag.

Well recently, not sure if after the last update/dlc I've had major lag. So bad that I tend to do more PvE than normal. I also have lagged in places where Lag is very seldom seen ( kyne ).

I checked my addons and everything was up to date. So this morning I decided to unplug my modem and pull the battery out for a few min. I'm no longer experiencing the horrifying lag that I have been fighting with for days.

Doing that should reset your IP. That solves most problems on the ISP end of things I find.

It's worse than it was after the lighting patch. Fire off a skill and it can take as much as 10 seconds before it actually goes off. Going from 100% health to dead in less than a second with no idea how you died because 6 or 8 skills that someone used lagged and hit you all at the same time. "Your ballista is busy". Can't slot a repair kit, mount or transit because you can't get out of combat. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes in PC NA Vivec last night and crashed 8 times. The crashes happened in the middle of nowhere riding toward a keep, approaching a fight, during a fight, after all the fighting was over... There's no rhyme or reason to it. After the crashes it's never as simple as just logging back in. For at least the first 3 login attempts, sometimes more, you get "can't connect to the server" and "make sure you have a valid internet connection".

How ZOS can justify taking anyone's money for anything while the performance is this bad is beyond me. They're selling a VERY flawed product and don't appear to be doing anything to make it right.

10/10 would play again
