    The new normal game performance.

    Lag is the new 'game feature'. Prepare to hear your favorite streamer/youtube star talk about how it makes the game "better" / "more challenging than WoW". :D

    issues i've experienced in vma:

    1) a poisoncaller lady whatever they're called spawned in the middle of the room, not on one of the 4 platforms

    2) i burned the 7th boss so hard the game froze as i executed. Didn't kill me, just popped back and suddenly i was good to go to the next round. I imagine this is because the game tried to load adds in too fast but then had do despawn them immediately.

    So many incredible things in this game. A shame that performance isn't one of them. Pretty insufficient server architecture under load.

    It's even worse today than it was yesterday. Hoarvors disappearing, teleporting/streaking trolls/bosses (including the final boss in arena 5), enemies not dying with zero health. It's an absolute mess. I've not had this many issues since my very first clear and that was due to learning the mechanics. WTF.

    Facing familiar issue and this last boss round is destroying my most flawless run!

    Once again, I’m reading the forums and feeling increasingly justified in my decision to take a break from ESO. These bugs and performance issues are unacceptable. Given that a number of those of you who are commenting here are on PC, I shudder to think about what VMA looks like on console at the moment.

    Got to stage five. I am also getting killed by invisible attacks. The boss can kick me from crazy distances, and sometimes I cant bash the trolls. Super frustrating

    I farmed my VMA weapons back when the game ran smoothly in PVE, and when I wasn’t getting attacked by invisible bosses.

    I am honestly so glad people are experiencing this and voicing it. This game has been game so broken since Elsweyr and ZOS is so bad at patching it that we have to wait until a major patch for a fix (Scalebreaker). If this was any other product in the world, it would have been recalled. The gaming industry has little to no oversight, they are never held accountable and this is what we get.

    it's a common bug found everywhere in the game. If the mob/boss is due to cast something after which is supposed to move, it will move simultaneously with the cast, physically being in the place he was supposed to be when starting to cast but visually appearing in the place he was supposed to move.

    This may be a dumb question but i have done the ordinary level maelstrom arena, how do I do it in veteran mode? I went today and Fa-Hen-Nuit (I think that's the name) was there and offered the quest but didn't see an option for veteran mode or did I miss it or something?

    I just finished one run this morning and it was mostly fine.

    I'm pretty sure they have a set limit for performance for vMA instances in the servers and they are getting overloaded with the demand during prime time.

    I still got a Vennoncaller whose body was untagetable in the middle of the arena and had to guess on which paddle his hitbox was, though, but it was only one time this off-prime-time run.

    It’s on the same page where you change the difficulty from vet to normal on the dungeon finder.

    I’d like to think this is ZoS’s way of trolling us and adding ‘new features’ to quiet the people who want a harder vMA.
    I’ve noticed a lot of desyncs since the new chapter.

    Another friend said that trolls and Lurchers would die, their body teleports to them and then they respwned at full health.

    The most broken part of VMA is the poison in the vault of umbrage. If you are more than 2 steps away from a cleanse pool its a one-shot. even if you are STANDING IN THE POOL it may not cleanse you. Just have to keep running until you take 0 poison damage.

    On try 80 right now.

    Yeah it's bad today. Constant desync. Constant. I just stand around doing nothing and then my ping hits 999+ and dead. Got booted once. Not even worth my time right now. I would love to farm for some pages but....nope.

    I got the same thing. I couldn't find her and then there she was, cuddled up next to the boss.

    LOL. On PS4, "this moment" is exactly like it has been since Elsweyr dropped. The exciting part is you will never know what the lag will strike. Will it be the invisible adds that kill you or will it be your inability to swap bars? Will your heals fire? Will your ultimate show up? Will the game freeze, boot you, then tell you that you were kicked for spamming area chat IN F&%$ING VMA! Tune in and find out...

    I plan on going in VMA tonight. Expectations: low.

    Yep - did a vet clear yesterday - Vault of Umbrage is bugged as hell and my [Aussie] ping is a record high of 368. It's doable but especially annoying atm. You just have to laugh or you'll throw something at the screen.

    vMA is great content let down badly by bugs and lag imo. ZOS did both a great and terrible job with it.

    When will ZOS realize they're too incompetent to have fancy things like 'events' in this game and should instead direct all of their available resources to making sure this game doesn't run like a POS?

    At least 75% of the time I get poisoned, I wasn't actually standing in the poison AOE. And cleansing yourself is a crapshoot as the game simply doesn't register you standing in the pool half the time.

    Considering vMA (and dungeons/trials) are mechanics-focused content, the performance really needs to be much better.

    I had a lot of issues in vMA today. I was getting damaged by enemies before they even spawned, dying to AOE that wasn't there, etc. My ping was between 80-120 the whole time. It was a pretty rough run.

    80-120 ping ? Paradise

    In Australia, we dream of playing with 120 ping. I average 200-300 ping on a good day. What I could do with 80 ping😆

    When you're used to 20-40 ping in all your other games, 80-120 feels like playing in mud.
