I saw you farming faregyl today while reds had all scrolls and almost the whole map. But it was so laggy i had to leave again...

we were at arrius later and on ep side ig. Not much up, pvp was sooo unfrequented and dead and still lagging. Many people from my guild think of quitting so you might have peace of us soon

Played in grey host tonight, it was far smoother than it has been recently. Still a bit choppy in big keep fights but was a good night overall. Plus we have underdog bonus so double AP

I do not want peace, i want to fight! I do not care about the rest of the game anymore, it's boring, i just want to play PvP. But every time i log in i feel bad for still supporting this company with my money. I waited so long for them to fix their game, but now i am starting to realise that this will never happen. At least not for players in Europe.

jup its just a shame but i really cant be arsed anymore and this announcement - they delay the server update for pc eu to march 2023 and consoles ,,soon after" took away all my motivation

Last night PC-NA Gray Host at Brindle was a crash fest. Pings were spiking high, people crashing left and right sometimes multiple times, and it was an overall mess.

Even with reduced pop cap the server obviously cannot handle large battles. I don't know what they need to do to fix this other than stop introducing new sets.

so not even with new servers you can pvp ?

Depends on the size of the battle but it's been worse since the patch.

Vetixio

Getting a lot of lag and crashes this patch, I am from the UK and play on PC NA but performance was fine before this patch, don't know what they have done to the servers?

MISTFORMBZZZ

update on greyhost on ps eu : its still broken and unplayable. At the worst state ever, like for real. As soon there is 1 bar each alliance , you cant cast skills anymore , get desynced , lag fest.

Greyhost is gonna be the second campaign in a row empty, all the players moved over to blackreach.

Waiting for a fix while zos is like :

Heresyall

It's going to be even worse after the update dw

Now that we are well under way on our server hardware upgrade project, it's time for an update. Most of you reading this know that we successfully replaced the PC North American megaserver's hardware back in May, and we have been hard at work planning, ordering, and preparing for the PC European server upgrade.

The last time we gave you an update, I mentioned that timelines to order, prepare, and configure this amount of hardware would take many months, and unfortunately those timelines have only gotten longer. Even though we ordered the hardware for PC EU long ago, we still are waiting for some critical parts, some of which are foundational to the whole service.

To be completely transparent, it will take about ten more weeks before all the pieces are delivered. Then the process of building and testing begins, which takes weeks longer. Based on what we know today, we anticipate everything being updated, tested, and running the live version of the game around March 2023. We expect the hardware upgrade for the console servers to be sometime soon after that.

I know this probably isn't the news you all wanted to hear - we are in the same boat. We all want this process to be faster than it is possible to be. We will continue to do this absolutely as quickly as we can, as soon as we can.

We'll check in towards the end of the year with an update and a firmer date. Until then, thanks for the patience.

i seen this and its beyond a joke.

People from my guild are quitting on mass caused of the performance

I couldn't play in Grey Host last night so I hear ya. I couldn't fire bow skills at all really except for maybe light attacks which are almost useless. And I could barely play period for the past 5-nights. (Even in 4-man dungeons). I don't know if the free play event contributed to the horrible performance overall but I wouldn't be surprised. That ended today so I'm hopeful things will maybe be at least a little bit better tonight.

Last night I left Grey Host and turned off the game for a couple of hours. I came back at about 10 PM Pacific/1 AM Eastern and went to Blackreach and things were much better because each alliance averaged 1-bar instead of all of them being full like in Grey Host during prime time. It's clear that ZOS is letting too many players into each campaign at a time and it's making the game unplayable with the current servers/code. They should limit pop in each campaign by about half of what it is currently even if it makes the queue twice as long. What is the point of letting in so many people when the game is unplayable anyway?

MISTFORMBZZZ

yeah the new campaign and last maintenance did fix nothing

And nothing will be fixed until:

On PS EU pvp still not aviable at PRIMETIME.

Greyhost 1 bar AD 1 Bar EP map completly yellow.

Blackreach 3 bar DC , rest 1 Bar map completly blue.

People abadonded GH because even with this low pop its unplayable laggy there.

The game is dead pvp wise on PS EU im sorry to say it

Lebkuchen

Blackreach 2 bar DC, 1 bar EP and 0 bar AD

They managed to completely destroy the performance on this campaign too with the new update 35. It was playable last month while GH was killed, but now it is sick too. PvP needs some love, please ZOS do not let it die a cruel death! We all deserve better!

Because we do not want to wait years for "improvements" that might not change anything and maybe even make things worse. Like it was countless times before. We want to report problems that we have to live with now and have been living with for a while. And some of us still hope for information that can help us understand what's going on. And countless other reasons, but i am tired of explaining this...

malistorr

I guess you'll continue to remain tired then. They have announced all they plan to, that much has been obvious for months. I'm right there with you on hating the horrible performance but all we can do is wait until 2023 when hopefully the recode is done and hopefully the servers are replaced. They're not going to be making any other changes until then. It is what it is...

Lebkuchen

It is not enough

if more people would say something zos would probably react.

On PS EU they broke BR now too, GH is bit better then before but still phase wise unplayable.
We do love the game and the pvp thats why we even say something.

MISTFORMBZZZ

gh seems to be fixed, its just still dead but might be cuz of the event. Lets hope

geonsocal

evenings, p.s.t., it's either been all yellow or all red for the last 4 to 5 weeks...

last i looked (last night) - AD and EP both had around 65k points...

DC, my spot, has 21k...

about the only good news, fighting is going extremally well over on the NA server...everyone is within 6k, maybe...

although, last night while returning the scroll of alma ruma, about eight of us got engaged by a (i hate to say it ) pretty good group of AD that came and snatched our scroll away...

it was a bit frustrating as we had a few groups on at the time...doing what groups often do - capture AP...i was so mad, i followed them to black boot, died a bunch of times during the trip...

MISTFORMBZZZ

new maintenance managed again to break something. GH half full pop and unplayable.

malistorr

That is my experience every night so I can't say it was the maintenance. I am a bow nightblade and regularly can't fire my bow skills. When casting snipe or the morphs the bow points up in the air and basically gets stuck there for a few seconds. Then sometimes the skill fires and sometimes nothing happens. Even if it fires it seems the enemy has already moved so using the skill was pointless. Other bow skills, even heavy or light attacks are so lagged that usually I just feel like I'm wasting my time. I can't get any kills like that since the bow skills are already so under-powered to begin with due to all the nerfs a couple of years ago. But between not being able to fire my skills and always getting the stuck in combat message and not being able to mount I usually just leave and go play another game.

There has been no update to the recode that I have seen since January when they first announced it. I guess we can hope the server replacements by hopefully next summer help things. I'm more interested in are they really recoding any of the game or all of it and if so, what changes are expected and when will this work be finished?

MISTFORMBZZZ

The thing is the performance was really okay on PS EU the last weeks after the new patch, before the maintenance tomorrow.

Its now the second time they broke something with a maintenance. Its so frustrating honestly

MISTFORMBZZZ

this is how shocking the pvp performance on gh is atm on ps eu.

Its painful to watch how the skills are not going off in my mates gameplay..

Nothing works. This gameplay was on a sunday at 3 pm uk , with 2 bars ad and ep only on server, so 4/9 bars population

Is it better now?
