I think they are just more focused creating more content that will pay the bills and are unwilling to dedicate the resources to fixing something that wont change the bottom line. Unfortunately I think we are just going to accept poor performance as a feature.

I've basically stopped playing during prime time. As soon as the lag starts I log. I do miss the epic battles from the early days but that was so long ago the memories have begun to fade....

They do not play their game every day. If they do, they would feel that lag every day then surely it bothered them to be born a solution. It is end of the year, free weekend, 60% discrounting, new players coming. Every new player who experience this lag they will have an opinion about the game and that will not be good. This lag is not good advertisement.

This lag there in the game since a very long time. If no one investigated it, then its ok (you know, we do not), but if teams works on it more then 6 months you should think are they competent to this task? I do not talk about fire, but need something change. PvP team go to do something else PvE content (dungeons, etc.) or other new PvP styles capture the flag etc. Other good team come and repair the PvP problems or erase everything and create a whole new idea.

If duel is coming, and the lag is here, lag is just coming to PvE too?!.
What is about combat text? How does it help against the lag?

I have some idea.
Against the zerg. Magicka detonation, initial idea was against the zerg. Noboby at the meetings says hey it is not good it will help the zergs not against them. Nobody! Is there meetings when new skill coming? I do not think that no one would see that will not be good. Here is the change, you can cast on enemy, it is can not "purge"able, and after few sec nearby enemies get too that debuff. It can kill the whole zerg If they less skilful. It is the initial idea, this should start.

everybody equals
A lvl10 and vet16 player equals.
Equals: base stats, all gear legendary.
Differences: the skills you learned, the sets (+traits) you wear, the spent attribute points.
The CP actives switched off in pvp (only CP passives works)
if everything is equal, then it will matter who how skilful AND far fewer numbers need to calculate. Most of the numbers will be used as a constant not necessary to count out. (set bonuses are constants, passives are constants, CP passives are constants, attributes are constants etc. not need calculate It should only be used.)

in PvP cooldown on skills - against the idiotic spaming
1,2,3,4,5 sec. The cooldown help to server gain time.

switch off skills - against the idiotic spaming
If somebody use a powerful AoE others can not only after when that skill effect finished, and you can not use again it for a longer time.
There is only 1 same ultimate at same time, only 1 tornado, fire ring etc. etc.

PvP graphical changes
- Same model the differences only the color red, blue, yellow.
- Same mount u see, same body model, same armor model.
- You can switch on/off in options.

temporary solutions
- Switch off the campaigns. There is not PvP in the game. What is better unplayable campaings or no PvP in the game? I do not know.
- Drastically reduce the max population.

Considering current trend of public alphas, betas and early accesses, ZOS can leave bugs unfixed and sleep well. The era when companies at least pretended they released finished games is over, because players are more than willing to pay for buggy prototypes; they even think they get something extra. Perhaps the only feature fully working in any future game will be its cash shop.
I pray some video game industry crash will happen soon, because it is in dire need of reboot.

That's not me

I've seen your DK around from time to time, have dominated him from time to time. Would like to see you fix PVP if you've been unfortunate enough to experience the disaster state it's in right now. 1.5 was the golden era.

Well yea the very heavily populated servers are going to lag, it happens, what do you expect when everyone zergs like crazy. I don't ever expect them to fix that, way too much going on in one spot. But that's players error, everything is easier in 30 man zergs so that's what they do.

I've been playing on Skeleton Key on the Xbox One North American server and yeah it's a slow campaign but it's fun. I RARELY see lag spikes, and my gameplay is so smooth that I can easily play with precision. Get a 10 to 15 man group going on these quieter servers and you can have a lot of fun with a lot less lag.

Overall spread the hell out, not just in Cyrodiil but the servers in general. It's dumb that we as players are letting entire factions run certain servers and then having to play on one server causing a damn lag fest because we all decided to populate that one.

Once again NOT Zos's fault, we're doing that to our damn selves.

(Yes large scale battles are fun, but we don't need to fill all 3 bars on every server to have large scale battles...)

Initially we had 100s of players in one area and NO lag.
So you are wrong about it being impossible.

If 100s of people were on screen using single target instead of AoE there would still be NO lag.
If AoE was capped at 1 target....there would still be NO lag.

ZOS have everything they need to end lag over night.
They just wont do it.
They would rather have 90 players and a 60 player AoE cap than 900 players and a 6 player AoE cap.
That's what the players demanded.

The players demanded no aoe caps, actually. And I think most players that did followed through and quit the game.

60 players... no caps....still hitting a crap load more players than before.
and yes the aoe falloff being lame is a gimme so you don't have to point that out.

This is there way of showing the pvp community they don't care i don't blame them who pvps anyway pve is were it's at all pvp is about is people ganking 100 vs 1 lol or people spamming the same move over and over to heal there self until someone gets tired and gives up pvp needs to be taken out of eso all together i've tryed it for the last to weeks and i'm already tired of it

People aren't in large groups to gank. They are in large groups to take objectives and fight other large groups. If there is someone riding solo that passes them, they will kill them to keep them from reinforcing another objective. They have no idea if that person is truly solo or if they just respawned from dying with their group and are trying to get back to them.

People who camp out on bridges are also trying to stop backups from reaching keeps. This is good strategy. Do you expect enemy factions to let you run around untouched?

If you choose to run around solo, that is your problem. Either be amazing so that you can solo, get with a guild that does PvP, or stay away from Cyrodiil. I too find Cyrodiil boring as content, but I enjoy hanging with guild members in Teamspeak.
