[XBOX EU] Lagfest and consequences

Hi there, playing on Xbox one (regular, base model), EU server, open NAT, from France.
I've been lately experiencing lag issues, not sure if I'm the only one, so I'm asking around.
- I can confirm that some effects randomly are not displayed on screen. In BGs, I get things on death recap that never displayed on screen, which includes the ennemies AoE attacks (ie. Necromancer Ulti Colossus that appears to be 100% invisible, without red circle on the ground), and also some effects applied to my own character are not displayed (ie. armor skill not displayed on toon where I should see spikes or glow).
- I can't really know when the game gets unresponsive or when I get CC'ed. Because this happens mostly in combat, I experience skills not launching, bar swap not launching, or these applying several times with a delay. It makes the game difficult and frustrating to play, as I would trigger the same skill several times without benefit (ie. shield skill would just reapply 1 more second) but with actual ressource expense, or would apply skill from the wrong bar, or would spam bash move instead of breaking free in the confusion.
- What buggers me even more since last patch is how ressources regen ticks. It seems stamina regen is blocked or delayed with each bar swap or skill launching, emptying my stamina bar way more quickly than before, even without blocking after a kill with 2H weapon (when a 30% buff on regen applies). In prolonged fights, this forces me to rely on heavy attack ... And because the lag also applies to HA triggering and that I dont see CCs on screen, each advanced Pve fight ends in "HA, Break free, HA, wrong skill, HA, unintended double skill, HA, bash instead of break free because delayed display made me think I got stun, HA, break free because this time I got really stun, HA, ...". You easly guess what happens in Pvp...
- Lag issues happen to be even worse on my characters that use DoT AoEs (any set or skill similar to Overwhelming surge or Iceheart sets effects), or when I team with or against players using these.
I used to bar-swap and light-attack a lot when the game flow was decent. The current state of ESO is at best frustrating and not a fun experience, when playable at all.
Is there something I could do ? Am I condemned to shelve ESO until ZoS improve performance ?

✭✭✭✭✭I’m on PS4 Pro and I see the same thing.
Both in PvE and PvP, failed bar swaps and skills, more so in Cyro than PvE. I also have times where my stamina regen just seems to not be happening.
Even taking resources solo in Cyro with only NPCs around sometimes I almost die from the fact that my buffs fall off at the normal time but my attacks are only half as often and don’t fire at all. I don’t know what causes the extreme lag only in some cases.
The NPCs are also able to recast a skill immediately after I interrupt them. Not quite fair I would say.
I definitely have problems with things not displayed on screen and often dying from them. Entering a keep to defend or attack sometimes I cannot see the NPCs for up to 5 seconds or more and have to just stand there and hope not to die. PvE it is mostly red aoes that I cannot see that kill me.
I don’t think I have noticed any more issues with dots than other skills because I think my PvP skills are not but I will pay more attention to see in the future.

MerguezMan✭✭✭✭Thanks, so at least I'm not crazy, things are not displayed and regen is somehow crippled.0
