    Its not just PTS, live is like this too when zerg blobs face each other. The only good pvp is usually small group action away from the main zerg battle. Sometimes medium size group battles doesnt lag. Everything else is so laggy, that commands get ignored and everything is unresponsive.

    BS, I rarely crash playing thorn at primetime locked pop, I crashed 3 times in 30minutes on the PTS with med pops. This is much much worse than live.
    You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

    The commands may not work but it's never as bad as what is happening now on PTS.

    The joys of PTS! Thanks for hanging in there, guys. We have lots of players logging in at once, so if you crash, please go ahead and try logging in again.

    There's been some contention on how we can identify for certain who are the Devs playing for each faction.

    Some individuals have Dev-<insert name here> as a name. Am I correct in my inference that these people are actual Devs?

    Or can any average Joe make a character with Dev- in their name just to be a d-bag?

    How do we know who's who?

    Yeah, people seemed to like seeing the Devs smack the guar mounts in order to gallup.

    Sabre is right. It's not as bad on live because there's never this many people on live. But the symptoms are from the exact same source.

    How catapults are working on PTS 1.6. WAI or Lag?

    Hey, here is a good thing: The FPS seemed to have increased. Like a lot. Could have been a PTS phenomenon and also the server crashed like every second or so but when it was up it seemed a lot better than live.

    More like the joys of live for months at a time. Nice to see ZOS finally experience it firsthand; maybe they will better understand player frustrations.

    keep in mind this is the PTS server, with alot of people in cyro right now lag is kinda expected with these numbers. just be hopefull that its sorted b4 this goes live :)

    this IS what live PvP is....

    go into thornblade at prime time, you will see.

    while I am disappointed the devs did not get to see the ridiculous damage numbers, the very odd loss rate of stamina, and the new horrendous state of damage shield stack/spam,; it is nice the devs get to see what we, the community, have been putting up with for the past 9 months in terms of lag and crashing.

    and NO Gina, it is NOT my router or my add-ons.....

    One thing that occurred to me was during the PvP, my frame rate steadily began to lower and lower as long as I remained in Cyrodiil. It initially dropped to about 20 FPS when the main attacks started and by the end of the fighting around Glademist and after the crashes, it eventually reached 6 FPS. For about an hour I waited to see improvement, and tried reloading ui multiple times. Even going into the character log in screen didn't fix it.

    However when I decided to try completely shutting down ESO and logging back in, it worked as fine as ever, with the FPS higher than it ever was for the past three hours. I dont know if this was an instanced case, however, there may be a bug out there that causes immense drops in FPS during PvP that may be alleviated by a complete restart of the game.

    That might very well be the case. Also they have stated that it is a stress test and that they are adjusting server values and wanted to collect data.

    Well, it was very stressful and I am sure that they got their data. ^^

    But I don't think that it's something to worry about. It's just a shame because many of us wanted to play with the devs, ask them to stick around afterwards for maybe some Q&A or duels. Hopefully there will be another event that goes down smoothly.

    It's probably the visual upgrade after training Stamina a certain amount, just like on the live server with horses.

    Sigh.,. and now.. I have to start leveling a Stamina mount on live.. Dang you..
    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    you know the second you started asking questions that they would "get disconnected" and say sorry to those who tried asking questions, and give the excuse "we couldnt log back on" OR! and this is my favorite; You will ask them a question and they will give an answer to a completely unrelated and useless question such as those they answer (for the most part) on eso live :P

    That is correct, I have the Stamina visual on my horse, so it just translated to my guar as well. :)
