What to expect with the next update

Just wondering if I should wait a day or two before playing the next update on June 3, with all that is going on should I be concerned?

✭Was wondering that myself.
Personally I may wait.
Unless they correct whatever "issues" they are experiencing, new zone content launches are already a heavy load with more players than normal. Combine that with the current issues? Meh, not going to be fun at all

Look at the recent threads talking about server lag.0 -

✭I’ve always found that the day after an update launches is generally when you want to play. Always crazy the first day - bugs, queues (not always in ESO, but definitely in other games), and just server problems in general. I think you’re safe waiting a couple days.
The other thing is - and this has been mentioned by ZOS themselves - server performance lately (bad performance) has been largely a result of several DDOS attacks.ESO YouTube Content Creator & Templar Tank/Healer Main1 -

Don’t believe it. If that’s the case then ZoS has really slipped up on communication. Literally nothing mentioned anywhere until today’s AUA. It’s shocking and really shows the amount of respect they have for their player base.
Crown Crates are a trap. Don't fall for the gamble! Balance? What Balance? Balance, smellance.

I think it’s very realistic. The servers haven’t always had the best performance obviously but the degree to which lag, freezing, etc has been occurring is likely due to that. I do agree that they slipped up on not communicating this directly to the player base until the AUA, but I think saying the severity was largely due to several DDOS attacks is very understandable.

Did you notice that the DDoS got worse when they acknowledged that there was a DDoS?
I really don't think that sort of thing should be mentioned until it's over and dealt with, because it emboldens the attackers, knowing they're having an effect. I wish they hadn't confirmed it.1 -

Why do you not believe it? Rich Lambert confirmed that it’s a DDOS attack.

The threads about terrible performance in this forum and elsewhere likely already emboldened them.1
