It was terrible this weekend. I think there were a lot more people in there. The others have been fine, so I'm not to worried. I figure they were playing with limits.
Today was the worst, I stopped early because of it.
I am assuming it was the stress test thing. I would get screen lock every 30 seconds on noob Island. If I thought that's how the game was going to play I'd avoid it like a disease.
lag compensations is one of the biggest annoyances to me, cause it delays my skills up to 1 second while the european pretty much has me dead. With today's internet , no one should be hand fed an edge over other players,
I couldnt even keep count how many fucking times I was just standing there pressing a button with nothing happening while the othe rplayer is zipping and zooming around like nothing is wrong.
Only 1 sec? you were good then . I was getting 8 sec lag.
Internet lag is not the same as ability lag. ESO internet lag this weekend.
And yeah, sometimes I was the one zipping around people who were lagging lol. Idk what was wrong with the place lol.
Yeah, the lag was server side. Don't loose hope. Its nice that the client runs smoothly. They opened this beta up to millions and I am glad they did. Now they have time to optimize their servers for the volume come launch.

It is true, the older you get, the less patience you have for those who watch a Youtube video and from that believe they know it all.
Is a game break for me right now as it stand. I understand it is beta, but I think they gave European players lag compensation, and that is just not exceptable for me. Other games like AoC use the same thing and it makes it unplayable for me. also found that even if I turned my graphics all the way to 1996, it still lagged.
I'm kind of baffled by all of the pvp videos showcasing smooth game play, it is really annoying to not beable to play what looked to be a great siege game. After a while it just became a headache and I eventually just let the time run out of the beta trying to get through a door for 20 minutes.
No other games I'm looking forward to and it is really just frustrating that this beta ended so poorly.
Well it was a beta stress test, at release European and NDA is gonna be seperated on 2 servers. However i didnt have any lag. so don't know why you did, mine ran smoothly all through the beta.
But calculating they had over 8 million keys out this weekend (including previous) so at least 5 million players on 1 megaserver. This is what the stresses are for, breaking things.

My lag wa sin Cyrodiil, no place else
Im sure since its the same server that doesnt really matter. (my playtime was 80% pvp)
I am with ya OP it's totally server lag i can get up to 134 fps but still have a 10 second delay on every mouse click. It is fun wrecking group of 3 ppl vs me tho i dont think its cause the skill I DO have but instead i can really tell its because its just plain and simple unplayable.
Maybe the best thing about the Megaserver is it's cool name but this stress test fails if you ask me. I've also heard all the b.s people are saying like its not the current version yatta yatta yatta.
I like to think I'm an optimist but seeing as I have been playing mmo's for over a decade I assure you this lag will be present at launch.

First i really never saw lag, granted I played friday and saturday (day time for the latter). However do people here not understand what a stress test is? The whole purpose is to fill the game until it starts to buckle under the load...
As for no lag for me, I chalked it up as living in Maryland, as I believe their servers are in VA.

Mr i assure you the majority of players were lagging it was out of any ones control as I stated it was most certainly server side lag. I played more than a couple hours also i will say.....I was angry on friday but still played. I was bored on saturday and played for many hours i saw some fun times pvping and a lot of still shots, I know others were enjoying the still views also it was abundantly clear at any siege going on frankly big or small it didn't matter, I did not require a radar either because i always knew when someone was around and that 10 second delay kicks in. Also I will point out in this game just because you are running around and it looks empty it isn't necessarily as I ran up on many groups of like 30-40 people crouch walking the plains so thats cool and all but the game is plain and simple unplayable with the SERVER lag.
Edit: I also tried out the least populated campaign to see if that made a difference and it most certainly did not.

Indeed.
I'm forced to take part in ninja/small squads as I can't handle the main force battles.
Stress test. Beta.
That's why all those people were invited in: testing systems.
Only 1 sec? you were good then . I was getting 8 sec lag.

Not necessary, but sure you can.
Nope from Michigan.
They did say they were letting millions in this weekend.
Aside from Cyrodiil, my friends had issues getting online at times, or staying online.
BOYCOTTING EA / ORIGIN going forward.

Or you need to understand the function of the Megaserver. All the pve content will have a drain on pvp content, and vise versa.
I had more lag in pve than i did in pvp (barely none in pvp).
People whining about bugs and lag in a stress test simply just wuuush over my head, it brilliant dumb.

I like it how you based this whole thread on something that you just made up. GJ!
PS: This was a stress test.
