Something happened ...

Trust me or not it's irrelevant.

But yeah performance were MUCH better tonight on Grey Host EU. I don't know if it was the lower population overall, the spread of the players, the new CP, the gear, ALL OF THE ABOVE combined ...

But whatever it's ZOS should be monitoring this very closely, we may have a lead ...

Agree, ping was up.to 40% lower than normal in combat for me. However, I think population was a fair bit lower than usual as people sort their points and realise they really will have to grind more levels.

Only one big problem so far, and that is there seemed to be a much bigger issue with the short range executes landing. Killers Blade is unreliable but it actually landed 0% of the time tonight and I was forced to de-bar it for Executioner.

Agree, the fights were incredibly smooth tonight on PC eu prime time. It feels like it's a new game. I'm having insane fun on my stamsorc

Let's see during the next days how it behaves.

NoSoup

My bet is population is going to tank now that double AP is over. Nobody thought that the high pops the last 3 weeks was due to double AP and NOT the proc conditions...

UntouchableHunter

The performance will be better day after because players are leaving Cyrodill after ZOS banned 90% of the sets.

Another thread that turned into a "no proc cyro sucks" thread. It's rapidly becoming nerfsorcs vol2.

The PvP was amazing even in that short period where all 3 factions were poplocked. The only lag I had was visually as my frames dropped in massive fights that usually would be absolutely unplayable.
So it seems at least for now the changes to the CP have had a massive positive impact on performance and actually on combat as well. It was pretty refreshing to be able to burst again at the cost of getting bursted, it just feels very nice overall. Also on Stamsorc I am the Flash now, it may not be the most powerful class currently, but its certainly the most fun.

I swear the PTS has an effect on Cyrodiil's performance.

Ranger209

Same during my time in NA. Was a DC queue at the time and the others showed a lock, not sure about a queue.

Vyseman

Its better Performance cuz they turned Double AP Off and the PvE Pugs left Cyrodiil

On the other hand yesterday Grey Host EU had still some decent fights, AD 3 bars, rest pop locked.

Thraben

One has to be VERY careful, but yes, I got info like:

"Hey, this is the first time in 3 years I've seen the first Jab animation" and
"Does animation cancelling skills actually work again in PvP?"

Not even speaking of the fact thad suddenly StamNecroes are better even in Open World, because the blastbones actually work.

They restarted the servers after the patch. By this time next week, Cyrodiil will likely be back to the usual laggy mess.

Well I can think of at least 3 reasons why and not just one:

1. Server restart
2. Simplified CPs (yeah, from calculations pov this system could indeed get simplified now by a lot)
3. There was indeed some messing around impacting i.e. resource availability due to test itself (since this was supposed to be performance check then they could do some actual stress testing in the background too)

I guess we shall see. Fact is that yesterday things were indeed smooth.
