Anyone get a chance to get out in Cyrodiil yet? Curious to know if things have improved or not.

We haz crowns. The guars and fiery horses are the only thing that's changed.

Which server roe? And were all factions pop locked at the time?

Good news either way, I know you were getting hit hard by lag before.

Ya . Everyone was locked except DC . About 100 people fighting at bleakers on NA TB and my latancy never went over 300 during any battles . FPS stayed at 55 .

You'll have to forgive my disbelief. I'm calling bluff until I experience this for myself.

Wait until next month when they stop leasing as much server capacity for player influx again. Hue hue.

@ZOS_BrianWheeler What ever you did today , Bookmark it , Make a restore point and write it in the calendar and past sticky notes all over the server and keep it this way as long as possible !

At roughly 9:15 - 9:30 pm EDT tonight there was horrible lag at Aleswell. My latency counter has spent quite a bit of time in the red tonight. There are no performance fixes in this patch as far as I can tell.

Im logging back in to investigate ...

Annnnd things are back to normal, lag lag everywhere.

I'm just going to throw this out there...

I think it is because there are many more players who aren't as hardcore about PVP in cyrodiil right now.

Before the update almost everyone in PVP was most likely a very serious player and was constantly in battle. Now that means that a capped server would be full of players who are each pushing the server to crunch their numbers more. Now I think that the other players who don't go as hardcore or maybe stick to the delves or dailies are taking up enough slots while not pushing the server to its max. This is allowing those unused cycles to be distributed to the remaining hardcore or action intensive players.

Lets assume that a players before the patch was rated at a 9-10 on my very own made up processing demand scale. So ~1000 players would be demanding 9000-10000 processing units on average.

Lets say 30% of the current players are around the 4-5 processing demand mark. So they are consuming 1200-1500 processing units while the remaining 70% are taking 6300-7000 units. In total that's 7500-8500 units of demand.

I am assuming that even tho the action intensive players are doing what they always have been, they are seeing less lag because the server just isn't being hit as hard.

Don't think this changed much since last night chief.

Just crashed out of the game from lag at Ash. Not even a huge number of people fighting either.

PvP crashes every few minutes or whenever anything actually happens...

Certain players weren't there, so ya I believe it.

Grim13

The game is now totally *** broken.

Weird *** is happening all over the place.

Just had all of my magicka and stam go from full to zero... then I dropped dead. I was attacked 5 times by no one on screen.

..add in the fact that the game now crashes almost every time a keep flips or there are over 20 people on screen...

So.

Angry.

Must.

Control.

Temper.

I've also gotten stuck on absolutely nothing twice now in the past hour.

I was in Chillrend today and no crashes, did have lag though with big battles but no crashes. It was a good sign. I did get hit from some abilities with a stupid high amount of damage, extremely annoying.

I'm completely blown away by this ,but I just got done playing on Thornblade and didn't have a single issue with lag. I fought in 3 or 4 very VERY large siege battles. Not once did my latency go above about 175. I never experienced the "999 latency" issue where the game breaks. It performed beautifully, and I had a hell of a lot of fun.

Before today's maintenance I got the 999 latency even in med sized fights. I actually went into PVP to see how broken it was from all the players since the B2P switch and all 3 factions were at pop lock. I gave up on PVP for the last week or so cause of the problems since update 6. I was genuinely stunned at how well it performed the entire time I was playing, and still was when I logged off about 10 mins ago. I know there are still people having latency issues, but I also noticed far fewer people saying they were having problems in zone.

I'm gonna log back in now. If this changes I'll update my post.

Roechacca

Ya the lag is indeed back .

I was doing just fine with no problems until an EP zerg came in with 40+ to reclaim their scroll. I would get stuck in attacks for 10-15 seconds. Was literally worthless. This game needs small scale pvp badly. These battles of 50+ people just don't work. Would love for some 5v5 PvPvE.

Roechacca

It seems when a certain group of EP play my ping still skyrockets . I would have to say after it happened 10 times in a row , I just can't ignore the fact it's more then likely their play style . Full raid , balled up tight spamming AOE . Every time .
