    Think you pretty much covered it. But we must not forget the constant load screen problem and numerous Crash instances in Cyrodiil.

    But on a more lively note the Crown Store is doing just fine with no problems at all.

    The lag is well known issue, it has nothing to do with restarting my router. I have 100 GIGS down and 10 gigs up. I also live in the same city as the servers and i get lag every night starting around 7pm cst.
    It seems like a load balancing issue to me on zos’s end.

    Seems to be selective on who it effects. I dont get these outside of pvp maps then again most ppl think pvp is all that eso offers and wont listen to reason otherwise.

    If ZoS is going to offer pvp then they should probably offer reliable product but they dont.

    The argument of “go pve instead” isnt really a good one.

    Once again someone else who says something I never said. Love how ignorant people are on here. I simply said there is more to eso then pvp.

    Your MAC address is a permanently assigned to your nic card, router etc. You can spoof a mac address but to actually change the mac address on a router you would have to replace that router.

    My PC was purpose-built in 2006 for Oblivion. It's been upgraded a few times since then, but it still has the original motherboard. My internet connection is a fraction of OPs. I've experience SOME lag in Cyrodiil during mega battles, and the odd loading screen, but nothing I would get too cranky about. Show me a game that doesn't get laggy with that many people in one area.

    My fps shouldnt drop to ten just because im in combat. Also, i have been completely disconnected from the server on many occasions in Soltha Sil simply because a massive zerg is near.

    Im glad some of you dont experience the lag in pvp but many people do. Acting like “meh just some lag” kinda underscores how bad the lag gets for many.

    But yet here you are and probably still playing. Ironic.
    If I went by what was on these forums I would think this game was pure trash. Thankfully I have the ability to think for myself. I have been playing for a few years now and still enjoy this game greatly. Even with some of the issues it has.

    I noticed mine drop to 2 FPS the other day.

    Here's something that always helps:

    Locate your network adapter at the rear of your computer. It should have an adapter coming out of it. Unscrew the two coaxial cables, switch them around, and screw them back in the other sides. Then reboot and everything should be better.

    Last night i had to accept bg ques for maybe ten minutes before the bg formed. Well the bg that formed was bugged and it only populated one team. After waiting 10 minutes i left and got the deserter penalty. Waited 20 minutes, then qued again but with a friend. This time the bg formed but for whatever reason I didnt join the bg but my partner did. I dropped group and solo que’d again. After accepting many glitched q’s another bg formed and guess what, “Waiting on Players” AGAIN. After 5 minutes of waiting i just canceled my eso+ and logged.

    If you go in some of the BG discords you will see everybody complaining about the similar problems.

    The game is in a great place to snatch up people fleeing from WoW and other MMO’s. Its a shame.

    The Yokeda fights in HRC are still bugged and have been since their “fix” to the other bug. The doors still frequently stop working on a wipe.

    AA adds can still reset multiple times left-side during the group split

    SO still stops displaying the poison AoE before it’s actually disappeared, the lamia boss still hits people into that back room (and then follows them into it, forcing a group wipe)

    MoL still has issues displaying aura colors which are the only real important thing in the twins fight

    Even with ally effects disabled, fps tanks in raids

    Classes lose their defining traits with every patch

    PvE is hardly fine

    People have to decide for themselves if all the bad is enough to quit over, or if they’re willing to accept that they will always be dealing with bugs and poor balance choices

    If you are thinking about reading this thread, don’t.

    Oops, too late if you got this far.

    I don’t get the horrible lag described except when I use my laptop on WiFi. My plugged in laptop doesn’t get it. I don’t know why I have a magical connection, but I’m glad after seeing so many others are having the opposite experience.

    Try playing wired instead of stealing McDonalds or Walmarts WiFi. You should also mention what server and system you play on because yes there is some lag but I dont have much on PS4 NA unless there is a 50 vs 50 zerg.
