The game is so unresponsive I just feel like giving up in 90% of PvP. Your performance fix sucks.

The game has become so incredibly clunky, wonky, and unresponsive when it comes to pressing attacks and pretty much doing anything in PVP, that whenever somebody even starts running from me I just give up and go on my merry way or in case of group fights, just stand and die. It's really not worth damaging my mental health over the insane frustration you've created. No thank you.


It's so incredibly frustrating seeing somebody actually standing within range but seeing my attacks do absolutely nothing - Not fire off, not hit... And it's especially hilarious and crying inducing when you see your ability fire, your stamina/magicka consumed, but NOTHING HAPPENS LOL. Oh yeah and for some reason, on certain occasions, it's exactly the opposite. I'm well AWAY from range of anyone's attacks or AOE, yet i still keep getting hit LOL, even after I'm hiding behind a corner for good 2-3 seconds already, this dude keeps hitting me. And all the attacks are so DESYNCHRONISED that I recieve 3 of them within a fraction of a second :joy::joy:

Whenever somebody starts to LOS i just feel like logging out on the spot, because its impossible to catch them in 90% of cases. The other 10% its quite frankly shockingly easy LOL, where that person doesn't evene expect it. What the hell have you done to my favourite game ZOS, what is this nonsense?

On top of everything above whenever i try to animation (mostly bash/block cancel) anything more than twice in a row, the game just creates an artificial queue of attacks and everything i do hits in a strange skipping sequence, even after I'm well on my way 40 meters away from someone, they still get my bash attack hits registered. All this happens while playing on ~60ms latency/ping and 90-100 FPS

And the next best thing you know... You log into the forums and see:
PC/Mac: No maintenance – March 9 :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

What a joke.

    Unfortunately I don't think this will be fixed for a while. I know they're looking into it but I am pessimistic about this one. For now, I've been forced to play only in the morning... Which means only on the weekend. Sucks but that's just how it is.

    Nice to see the forums quickly turning into a highschool cafeteria. Just jump to their own ideas instead of looking for the facts. First 9f many fixes on different levels so they can identify areas of issues through out the year instead of dropping it in one single go and not able to find the issues in the mess, like maint. Etc.

    Hi everyone,

    As you may have noticed, we recently adjusted the maintenance banners to indicate there is no longer a PC incremental patch scheduled for Monday, March 9. While we were performing final checks for the build this afternoon, we noticed one of the fixes was causing some new issues affecting combat. We have made the decision to delay the incremental patch until we're able to fix this issue and ensure the patch is stable.

    We’ll let you know when we have a new date scheduled for the patch.

    Honestly, expecting anything ZOS does to improve performance was beyond naïve. Doesn't matter what it says in their patch notes, those have been full of bug fixes that never worked for years, just empty words.

    You were right to be pessimistic. Still not fixed, still a joke.

    I really love hitting buttons and watching NOTHING HAPPEN. Add in those loading screen flashes and it's such a blast. Yet new mounts and non-combat pets are being developed and sold. So that's something.

    This is what happens in 50% of all my PVP fights in Cyro (during peak hours)

    1) Channeled acceleration and Momentum need to be pressed like 5 times to activate.

    2) Assasin's Scourge not firing at all, only after 7-10 tries.

    3) When I see a ball group approaching, my toon freezes like 20 meters away from them. Skills not firing and I am dead meat with no chance to help myself because of lag.

    4) Getting 1-shot. No chance to block, roll-dodge or heal, as if the enemy player has fired 5 different skills in 0,5 sec against a standing dummy with LA between them.

    5) Server kick when close to a siege or ball groups.

    6) Getting hit by AOE although I have stepped away from it before the circles touched me.

    7) Combat looks like playing Heroes of Might & Magic. Turn based.

    Cyro was working better during MYM with bigger population than it does now. I believe this happened because ZOS gave more resources (aka hardware) to the Cyro server to satisfy the demand. Which leads me to the conclusion that a big portion of lag is caused by insuficient hardware and not only a broken game engine.

    (PC-NA) It's unplayable garbage at this point - bad enough that I don't even bother properly equipping my characters for MYM, just follow the zergs wearing random PvE gear and spam light/heavy attacks, because that was literally the only thing that worked at all reliably.

    Oh, and have I mentioned the constant disconnects/crashes whenever approaching (or even worse, trying to port into) large fights? Because I don't think I have, and that's utter BS as well.

    Recently even my sieges are too "busy" to work at all, which is where I draw the line. If I can't use abilities and can't even mount (stuck in "combat"), then at least let me use my bloody sieges ZOS.

    To be fair, this so-called "maintenance" usually either doesn't help, or makes things even worse. Whatever.

    It's actually worse!
    During Midyear Mayhem, in keep fights, my character would often be unable to cast skills or light attack. Only dodge, block and sprint would work. I'm not talking about a little lag, this went on for MINUTES at times. Stuff like that just made me give up on PvP, you just can't take it seriously anymore.

    What an incredible shame. This game had the potential to be the best MMO out there. Now its just an empty shade of what could have been.

    Time goes on but skills are still apparently waiting for like 3-5 presses to activate when there is 1-2 players around and on sieges physics engine just melts, what a joy to move around 1m in 10 sec.
