The lag since the PvP event ended has been ridiculous. Worse than its been in over a year. You have to hit every skill 6 - 8 times and even then they only sometimes work. I'm not talking about zerg v zerg battles either. 1v1 in the middle of nowhere. Small scale groups. Everything!

Whatever resources you put in place to make sure the PvP event went smoothly was great. It wasn't perfect but it was even better than usual. This is way below that and its not even close.

Its primetime right now, but the same amount of players can be on the server as in the PvP event. What's the deal with this extra lag? Something changed in the last week or so. I don't want to hear performance improvements are coming a month from now for Xbox. This is way worse than it was before the PvP event.

Its unplayable. I get you wanted the event to go smoother than the last few, but there's an obvious swing in how bad the lag is. It shouldn't be worse than before the event. Wtf guys?

Please do something.

    Same thing in pc eu, its awful. I know its not as bad, or nearly as bad as console atm, but i feel your pain, i stopped playing my sorc for the time being cuz crushing shock takes a minimum of 4 presses to work. Its so bad i tested my controller in other games like street fighter and the like to see if it was broken. IT is not, its just the game atm, something went seriously wrong with the last update, and the silence is really disheartening.

    My Xbox NA PvP guild has been talking about it in chat. It must be pretty crazy cause it’s been in guild and zone chats for weeks now! I know I personally got kicked about a hundred times during the event (no hyperbole either!)

    Yeah, it's amazingly bad since the last patch.

    I've just been running around spamming light attacks. Which has been surprisingly effective!

    Maybe someone from zos could actually acknowledge the problem.

    Makes you wonder, maybe they increased capacity for mid year mayhem, and all the talk of optimizing the game is just noise. Like the real issue is server capacity and they’re being cheap and not running enough juice on the server.
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    PC NA Kaal has been bad.
    The event was bad, crashed 3-5 times a day.
    Thought it would get better after the event and some of the load was gone.

    Nope
    Was the worst for me tonight since the event.
    Ping was double to triple its usual values all night.
    Crashed twice.

    I don't think so. These issues popped up after the patch last week.

    The crashing seems better, but skills are not firing and bar swap/break free rarely work now.

    Yeah I'm not trying to sound like a crybaby complaining about lag..... I'm used to playing in lag, we all are. Its not awesome or anything but its usually bearable. This is another level of lag altogether.

    Never seen so many people in PvP zone chat agree on anything as much as this.

    Something else that people do not realize is that since we have to press buttons 5 or 6 times its putting a massive strain on controller batteries. I'm going through batteries twice as fast as before the midyear Mayhem event.

    Had some fights in Kaal last night where nobody could even damage each other, 10v10 and it was just a weird prom dance. I just quit and started leveling a necromancer.

    I also got booted to menu for "spamming" last night. Spamming buttons to try to get abilities to fire kicked me from the server... I gave up about 2 hours after posting this. Watched Netflix. Nothing good, but it ran smoothly.

    Ever since that patch on the 5th it's been like this. HUGE delays on all skills, sometimes they just dont go off at all. I was literally mashing my bumpers on Xbox NA the other night trying to get a healing thicket to go off and it just wouldn't. There's even delays getting on and off your mount, it's horrendus. Opening doors is another huge one where sometimes you just can't go through the door when out of combat. Same thing happening on PS4 apparently.

    Really hope it's addressed and we get some acknowledgment they are seeing all these posts. :|

    Xbox na, Lasted about 10 minutes in kaal last night. I’ve dealt with some pretty terrible lag but good god, that was absolutely unplayable. At least the sewers were running pretty well :/

    I wanted to add to the agrees here. My whole pvp guild has been complaining about it. Last night I kept trying to break free with full Stam, going through the animation, but not breaking cc. 3 or 4 times in a row of that = death.

    Absolutely no doubt that the Feb 5th, 2020 patch is when this started on all platforms. It did fix dashboarding on the PS4, but introduced this insane lag too.

    It's probably good that PC is experiencing it too because that may make troubleshooting a lot easier. I don't get the sense that anyone at ZOS really plays this game on console, at least not enough to get a feel/taste for what it's like.

    I might be wrong, but it often seems they have no idea there's a problem on console until the forums light up. It's frustrating - I feel they really should have people proactively playing on all platforms, during prime time, instead of waiting for players to complain here and then trying to react/do damage control afterwards. That's not a "win" for anyone.

    Yeah, I play on Xbox NA as well.

    The lag right now is worse than it was during Midyear Mayhem, which was actually pretty good given the fact that an event was going on. But the last few nights have been bad and I just left PvP and went to do some Vet DLCs which were as smooth as ever.

    I know right! Its worse than waiting to enter a completely full campaign with a 150+ queue on each faction during the event!

    How? Like just how? LOL

    I dont know if its been like this for anyone else but -

    For anyone that plays PVP often we already know being able to mount is some what of a luxury as it is as were always stuck in combat with nothing.

    Well...

    My latest fun is Ill hold in my button to get on my mount - my character will stop and stand still - and the takes about 20 seconds for the animation to even begin.

    Like Cyrodiil Mount Simulator is fun and all but Cyrodiil Cross-Country Fun Run is umm.... gross.
