I want to clarify, I was not the only one freezing. Many people in the group froze simultaneous to me. We had a 8 person dc and lost the ability to clip a lot of the worst freezes.
4 of us restarted our ps5's before the run and 2 people cycled their modem and routers but had the same experience.

@ZOS_Bill @ZOS_Kevin Cross posting from Technical Support. Continued issues with ESO on Playstation will kill the entire Playstation customer base. At your earliest possible convenience please advise as to what the issue was last night and what has been done to address the issue and ensure that it is not repeated in the future.

This is on PC as well.

Same thing happening in Cyrodiil too, rubberbanding and people skipping all over the place, lol.

The lag is back today. Would really appreciate it if we could get an update on what is causing this.

Edited to add: a pov is coming. Inability to bar swap, extreme lag spikes. Same problems we had weeks ago are back.

It feels like mayhaps zos is being DDoS'd again.

POVs of how bad things were yesterday. These were from the same 2 hour gaming session. The first video illustrates how things were yesterday really well. The 2nd video resulted in a DC. This was not just happening to one person; another group member was also having serious freezing and lag. So it was not the internet of either player.
We had to abandon that earthen root hm because it was impossible for the tank to handle the cone mechanic when he was randomly freezing.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_Kevin I ask again, what happened yesterday? What is going on?

I'm on PC (NA Server) and I'm having serious desync issues lately. I'm pretty sure it's universal server issues.

There's another thread created last weekend with players from Xbox/NA reporting the same issues, so it definitely seems to be universal. It definitely does not however, seem to be a priority to acknowledge or provide a resolution for...

People are exhausted from unresolved performance issues, workarounds and an overall disregard for communication. I wish it was truly understood how slim the margins are for retaining/losing the playerbase right now. Been here since console release and I can say with confidence the morale has never been lower. If the next Update releases with a myriad of bugs and servers remain busted I can assure you that a significant amount of people will move on to functioning games. Your servers are unplayable, fix them. Or don't... whatever. At the very least you should acknowledge those that take the time to report these issues. In it's current state, the game/servers are broken.

Im done messing around @ZOS_Icy @ZOS_Bill @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_Bill. What the heck is going on. The game is unplayably skippy, laggy and the rubberbanding makes it extremely hard for 12 people to get a no death. We do trifectas. I cant play how i want and this is not the quality of gameplay, nor the level of customer service I paid to subscribe to.
Since Zenimax refuses to deliver the product i purchased. I would like a refund for everyone's ps5 eso+ dating back to the launch of update 41.
I would settle for months of free eso plus added to our current subscriptions for time equal to the launch of update41 to whenever you decide to get around to fixing the game.
Look forward to your response in July.

For anyone that's just been following this thread, just wanted to let you know that there are multiple other threads regarding server performance across the platforms. Some here in bug reports, the largest threads in the general ESO discussion. Since the first week of May reports on the lag/ping have been arriving, and only Kevin has responded on the forums. Twice. Once to acknowledge and ask that we submit clips of when it occurs, the other to ask us to submit a ticket if we can. Rich responded to a reddit threat several hours ago saying there been experiencing DDoS attacks over several weeks and are investigating other performance related issues. So just in case you haven't seen the other threads yet here on the forums...that's the rub. Hopefully that puts everyone's concerns to bed and satisfies any and all questions. I know personally I feel completely reassured knowing everything is being remedied swiftly and with transparency. Can hardly wait for Gold Road, which reminds me that I should go purchase it soon in case any issues arise in regards to downloading, you never know what can happen as we are witness to now. Not to mention I'd be kicking myself for missing out on all those preorder bonuses. Definitely getting the Deluxe version.

Happened really bad on Xbox NA on May 27 and again last night the 29th.
It's their side, not our internet or anything else. Need answers. There are 4-posts about this exact same issue on the front page of the "bugs" forum page.

Hey Gas, this is good news i suppose, however it doesnt change the fact that the product i am paying for isnt being deliverd.
Picture paying for a full bathroom remodel, and then everytime you go into the bathroom you get kicked out after getting ready to use it or hop in the shower. Then after a month of ignoring your calls, the contractors says, "my bad, we'll get that fixed in 2 weeks but youre still paying me full price." Then, after fixing it, your toilet wont flush or it flushes 7 times in a row and you dont control when. But hey, at least you can use it. Then, that same contractor says, while the toilet is still broken, "yeah we're not going to do any type of discounting or refunding or freebies but would you like to put all of the money down up front for a kitchen remodel?"
My answer is no. I will not be pre-paying for what will be a broken kitchen.

Very disappointed that there was no communication about this at all. The lag issues have improved, but we still have no idea what was going on or if it is likely to happen again. The game feels very unstable lately.
