Disagree heavily, ESO is running really smooth at the moment. Zero crashes, zero delays, everything really smooth, short loading screens, etc. The only issue is still some lag issues in PvP, which ZOS is working on(new hardware).

The game has received quite many updates since years. We now have dark brotherhood, thieving, excavating, many new zones, etc. And the game is only improving.

If you are new to ESO, give it a try. Even if it is only to play through all the zones/quests once. No game can please everyone. Sorry you feel this way OP.

PS: Players having performance issues outside of PvP, have either their settings too high or have faulty settings. Computer maintenance and internet connection play major parts as well.

Even as critical as I am of this game, I still pop in every few months to explore and hang out in Tamriel.

I would definitely say it's worth playing. Just depends on why you want to play.

That's not my experience. PC NA has definitely been running smoother since that hardware upgrade.

I would check your latency. Have 300 latency game stats running behind.

Delayed skills can be attributed to jitter in network. Like if 1 sec bar swaps then takes 4 secs for next bar swap

So yeah, for me Midyear madness felt smooth even with full population. Also rendering felt better then previous experiences. You could tell most people had fair shot at grabbing chaos ball. 😂 The chaos in imperial was like nothing I ever experienced. I think imperial city while I can't put a finger on it just better.

PC NA is fine

Typically, I only experience performance issues in Cyrodiil. However, after the update I have been getting strange visual glitches everywhere intermittently. I’ll be doing a dungeon and it’s like the boss flash banged me - a big colored wall will come up and stay for about a second until I move my toon.

I have noticed a huge difference in how well the game performs. At least in PVE. 1-2 years ago crashes were way too common in trials. Performance was the worse I had even seen. But since their hardware upgrade, it runs very smoothly I think. I'm not in cyro often- some days it seems fine and others it's rough. Overall I think performance has improved, even if I think Update 35 is utterly moronic in some places.

The trouble with this sort of topic is that as so often is the case the OP fails to mention his platform, server, system specs including internet service (and whether wireless or wired connections), game settings, and real world location. I also wonder whether he has accessibility on the wrong setting.

My guess is op is not on PC NA. Since the new server went online, even large battles in cyrodiil run smoothe as butter. The performance is pretty amazing, actually. They are having issues sourcing hardware (I mean, who isn't these days? ) for the other platforms, but it's coming ...

After quite a pause i thought of giving eso another try. before the pause I was playing eso pvp battlegrounds for over 2 years. I grew more frustrated with the game. I remembered abilities not going off. Only bunnyhopping in stead of dodgerolling. I grew tired and quit.

a view days ago i thought to try it again. Eso hasn't changed. i think it got worse. everything now is even more delayed. abilities may go off, or dont. or delayed. its not playable.

I dont get it zenimax/Bethesda. Why still develop this game? why create this potentially good game, yet you never seem able to capitalize on its greatness. its sad.

to people wondering if eso is worth it? Controllwise/ performance wise it is garbage. if that is ok to you then give it a try, else stay far, far away.

i hope i safeguard some people from disappointment.

regards.

edit: some typo's

I agree with you when it comes to the game being delayed especially for templars. I actually mentioned this in a post a created a day or two ago how the game is delayed and because of it i get killed. I also have ps5 and the fastest internet i can get in Canada where I live so i know it has nothing to do with my connection as i also connect my lan cable to my ps5.

The delay is frustrating because people just create Nightblades that max out crit damage then go behind while being invisible and attack, incap and your dead lol. I try roll dodging or even using vigor to heal up since im tanky enough to survive the attacks but with the abilities not going off properly I can’t heal and die anyways lol. Its actually not fun at all and actually funny this is how pvp is played. Its also delayed on switching bars to

Hello fellow gamers,

nice to read that some of you have a good experience. I play on xbox series x, eu server. On my machines end there should be no problem. maps load in under 6 seconds, which is quite something from the old xbox one. I have a cabled internet, isp KPN, which is a good quality provider. also in the past Ive used pingers and connection loggers to see if my isp was failing. I had these problems before and wanted to have a decent experience . my equipment is not it.

My brother recently started playing with me, exact the same experience. its not only in pvp, also in pve. the game reacts from moment to moment smooth, delayed or not at all. so Im shelving the game.

I hope you keep the fun and maybe if the equipment is upgraded i will try again.

regards.

edit some typos

also edit: I follow content creators like Dotts gaming, Istherenooneelse. They are very passionate about the game, yet I recall them saying the game is g#$amn unplayable at times, due to the same issues. Similar complaints. They are far from potatos or fruitcakes. So if you never had issues while playing for x years, i am happy for you. Eso mmust be a blast then! I dont think that it is the widespread experience out there.

From my eso friends base not many play anymore and the performance is a big reason for this. I am just more passionate to retry after a while. A small minority of friends ask me if it changed. I tell them my opinion based on my experience. So dont retry, it got worse. The majority will never return, which is a pity if the game finally gets fixed.

Nice to read the equipment may get an upgrade. And based on the experience that the gameplayability improves. Maybe its worth a try after the upgrade.
