Vessel Of Hatred is unplayable due to lag

Topic says it all. Ever since I got the expansion I am experiencing non stop lag and it makes the game so unenjoyable that it has become unplayable. This was not an issue before. I check in every day and it’s the same type of lag/choppiness, even after todays update. Very frustrating. **It’s only vessel of hatred: nothing else that I own is experiencing this lag. Do I just give up on the game and refund it or could there be a fix to come?

Me too. I have serious internet so it must be the Game itself. I get stalled while I’m galloping somewhere on my Big Cat, and get knocked off and killed before the Game wakes-the-fred-up.

They have to fix their servers for that and i dont think its a easy task to do because i dont think its your internet making problems.

I hear a lot of people have roll backs,lag spikes etc.
btw me too, cant go into hell tides without playing with a lag that feels like 122000ping, constant roll backs, skills not going off properly, dash skills not going straight, they are going zick zack

Yeah, this is my average experience

It only started happening for me when the Lightning Spear patch came out last season. Prior to that, everything was fine. (I know I’m evading and going fast, but the same freezes will occur regardless of character.)

i must say, most of my roll back experiences started with playing evade eagle build.

I switched to Thrash build after the last patch because they fixed a evade related “bug” after that patch i felt like dying three times more often then before. That patched killed my fun with the evade eagle

It happens regardless of the build. When I was just playing the campaign, I was getting this lag also, and I didn’t have an evade build. I ended up dying multiple times to bosses, just because my play was 2 seconds pause, 1 second play, 2 seconds pause, 1 second play, repeat.

And I have a friend who also plays via the PS5, and they have no issues whatsoever. It could be lag or load balancing. But I’ve run traceroutes, and I’m not getting packet loss. In fact, playing on normal is fine. It’s when I start to play in higher level pits where things start to slow down tremendously.

I’m playing on ps5 too and believe me helltides are not fun at all, like I said, I was playing the same build as you showed in the video and since the bug fix that you can animation cancel evades… Such a stupid bug fix… This build is in my option half as fun as it was before… Do you play a build with rapid attack speed or some really fast rapid fire animations? That could mess with the game and the sever responding to it

HT & World Boss, no Evade used- Twitch

Long video, so TLDW:

Lag is still bad as ever. Everything is warping around the screen. No evade used at all. 3 Quill users though. This has always caused far more problems than any evade build.

Yeah that’s what I meant with rapid fire animations. Like rapid fire quills. It’s causing so much lag for me.

Before the animation cancel bug fix you could evade like three times as fast as normal and every evade caused the thunderspike attack, so you were attacking as fast as a quill volley player and thus caused so much lag

Extreme rubber banding on PS5. Didn’t have any problems until vessel. On super fast net, only game doing it. Might stop and see if they ever fix it.

Yep, almost 1 month after release, it’s still a STEAMING PILE OF CRUD!!! I had no issue before Vessel, and now I can barely play the game because I can’t aim/click on anything with any modicum of accuracy. Not only the lag, but it looks like they completely borked the hit boxes, making it impossible to aim at anything… Half the time I’m just standing there with my thumb up my a$$ while the attack cursor is white, even those it’s clearly dead centered on a monster… this is ridiculous.
