Lag and Desynch is Really Bad

Thumbless_Bot · March 13

My ping can be really low and skills aren't firing, desynch is happening like snipe desynch back in the day. Skills are missing even when they 'go off' . It's been really bad ever since the update.

This is in bgs. It's really weird.

Executioner doesn't hit, dizzy doesn't hit. Dizzy animation goes in this weird slow motion. Other skills seem like they are going in slow motion too.

Warden flowers doesn't go off even when I hit the button three times. Ultimates too that don't require a target don't go off.

Heals can show the animation but not heal.

Something is really off.

It's not just in BG's. It's cyrodiil and any content that requires high APM or multiple players in the same area.

Wasn't just me then. I wonder sometimes since my internet isn't always the most reliable. I was really struggling to attack people tonight. Just like you, I even see the animation go off but absolutely no numbers pop up.

On NZ ping I find almost any skill from the 2H line not named Carve or Rally too unreliable to bother with. It is simply too hard to reliably connect a hit if the target isn't currently CC'd in place.

But all of this is fairly typical on NZ ping. Everything always is a bit "off" or delayed - much more so than other online games for some reason. In some ways it makes you better at prediction and reading a match up, though, cos that's the only way to truly compensate.

I've been feeling it recently too and not just skills, but core combat like dodge roll was the main one for me (it was also asked about by others a couple of times last night in Cyro zone chat), so something is definitely up.
