Can we get a way to check our latency?

My skills have a delay when they go off. I'm not sure why you feel the need to hide it, or forgot about it, but I can tell that my latency is high. I would like to know HOW high before i try soloing things that are tougher to do with a delay. Thanks.

    A ping bar or an actual number ping? I'd prefer number ping.

    Number is fine, I don't really care. I'm just tired of getting killed when it is not my fault. If the servers are being laggy, I would go craft or farm mats. Not try to pvp, or solo some thing that is tough.

    I just posted this reply on another thread but then thought it would be useful for anyone else that wanted to know how to check you game latency.

    You can see your latency on the game by doing the following.

    Open resource monitor. You can do that directly from the windows menu (or type "resource" into the program search box) or you can start task manager and click on the resource monitor in the performance tab (4th tab on task manager).

    When resource monitor comes up click on the 5th tab labelled Network. Wait for all the various parts of the window to be populated with data.

    Now, we are interested in the 3rd frame down. The one labelled TCP connections. In the 1st column marked image scroll down and you will find 4 entries for ESO all marked as eso.exe. If you then scroll the frame as far to the right as it will go you will see your latency in the last column (labelled Latency(ms)).

    The column before latency also is important as it shows any packet loss. If you have anything other than 0 in this column then things will not be good for you as data packets are being lost between your pc and the server.

    I am in the EU and normally have latency of 130-150 ms or thereabouts.

    Hope this is of some use to people.

    I understand how to do it that way, but I would like that info through the game. Having to alt tab check it before i fight some thing is a pain in the ass you know? I would like a glance to see like a normal mmo has.

    ah i see, then i am sorry i can't help you, i don't know of any way to keep track of that in game, i know there was a /fps in beta but that's not helpful, on another note i use a Logitech G19 keyboard that has a display on it and i use that to keep track of all my ingame statistics such as ping/latency/fps and such.

    Anyone know how to do this on a Mac? Perhaps I should go to the Mac support forum and ask there, lol.
