It's getting really hard to justify giving money to ZO$ for anything when performance is as bad as it is.

There really are a lot of problems with performance tanking since Elsweyr released. I didn't have the lag and ping on the PTS that I have now on live. I'll just be doing a random daily, farming in one of Elsweyr's public dungeons for runebox pieces, or heck, even just running around from one place or another, and my ping will spike over 1k. I wasn't getting such consistent ping and lag like this before the Chapter dropped; sure, I'd occasionally get the odd spike here or there, but nothing like I'm getting now.

It's worrying because Matt claimed that NA's server is starting to go the route of EU, and claimed they're trying to preemptively nip it in the bud before it can get any worse than it is. Considering how things are getting worse despite that claim, it's not very reassuring.

Wonders how many people who experience lag, are playing on WiFi. If so, that's half the problem right there. Once I switched from WiFi to a hard wired LAN connection I stopped having most lag problems.

Note: When I'm playing on my laptop with WiFi, away from home, I do get problems with lag.

I play on a wired connection and I still have these issues. Like I said, it didn't start like this until Elsweyr, and it doesn't matter if I'm in that zone or another; the lag and ping spikes will hit me regardless of where I am.

Oops I bought 21,000 crowns, bought CE of Elsweyr, and paid for ESO+ another month.....was I not supposed to?

Nothing to worry about! What you alone choose to do is insignificant.

That burns.

Obligatory post to remind folks that there are multiple teams who work on this game and quest writers, artists, UI designers, etc can't fix combat balance or server lag.

You really can't say "stop making Crown Store content and fix the lag" because it's entirely different people involved.

I have totally given up hope as well. I rarely log in these days, this coming from someone who played quite a few hours a day until very recently.

I have trouble believing they aren't at least "trying" to do something of sorts. One thing is for certain, if they don't do something urgent this game will obviously start to haemorrhage players if it is not improved pretty swiftly. That is if it has not already.

Another massive issue is the lack of communication, all that does is further propagate the sense that ZO$ does not care about it's players or is fundamentally arrogant or, even worse, imcompetent. I am sure this is probably not the case, but it smacks of it. All it would take is some decent communication and players would be FAR more understanding if they were kept even remotely in the loop.

But I agree, you would think making sure the experience is playable for all the new refugee players would be number one priority. The game has the potential to possibly be the number one MMO but it is going to fall flat on it's face during it's golden period if something urgent is not done.

Talk about taking your eye off the ball, the senior management in this company makes my mind boggle...

I wish that they would fix this healing, lightning staff, whatever it is bug. I would think it would be a priority. I can't use springs let alone half of my other ground based abilities since the patch. Add that to my fps issues I have had since a few patches ago. It's all just getting a bit frustrating.

Yes, yes, ground-cast abilities suck big time since Elsweyr, the fps are out of control, as well as ping, no matter if wired connection or not - it doesn't make a difference, unfortunately. It's server-related. Our ping is much better when less people are around, but given the upgrade - if it happened - it should have made it better, which none of us noticed. And last patch made things even worse lag- and fps-wise.

I'm also hardwired but the past two weeks performance has been horrendous. And knowing Elsweyr will break the game even further doesn't make things any better.

Zos while your at these fun requests, fix the lag. Cx, the game is in a **** state. As a day one player on multiple platforms the game performance is just unacceptable. That is all.

Lag, freezes, not being able to bar swipe, and much more is killing the fun of this beautiful game.

Let the salt commence from the defenders of this broken piece of ****.
But the fact remains that the game's performance should be their top priority and nothing else.

So the in-combat bug we experience in Cyrodiil when not even in combat or the GF issue affecting both BGs and dungeons are silly requests?

While lag is a serious issue I would expect game breaking issues like I just mentioned are more significant. Lag becomes secondary when pressing F for an hour because queue keeps falsely telling you that someone declined or you cannot use a transitus in Cyrodiil because you have been in stuck in combat for 10 minutes even though there has not been any combat around you.

Color me salty with these silly requests.

I don't know about you, but my pointer finger has never been in better shape from hitting that F key ;-)
