Zenimax are able to advertise on superbowl but cant fix servers

They're legit loaded, dont even give me that not enough resources [snip] excuse. Only conclusion i can come to is that zos dont care about the game being enjoyable for someone who has played for over 4 months.

Its fun for new players and thats all zos is focussed on.

ZOS makes me sad

each area of the company has a separate budget, unfortunately advertising appears to have a much bigger budget than whatever bug fixing comes under

fixing a product people have already paid you for? where's the profit in that

Yeh i understand completely its basic business, its just sad though especially because i see new players coming in, so joyful about eso and then it dies down fairly quick when they realise endgame content is stale

How much is it for a advertising spot for the Super Bowl anyway?

I doubt its about resources or money. Fixing lag isnt an easy job. Sure they can hire new people buy more servers but if 20 people spamming abilities in a CP server causes lag today it will continue to cause lag tomorrow. My guess is they have to balance the game and the code and they arent going to just roll out certain game fundamentals to fix lag

Not all problems can be fixed by throwing money at it . Lag is a issue in almost every game . I can't think of one that has a permanent solution yet . Although that Australian company found a new way to build in 3D that doesn't take half the resources of polygons . Maybe when that tech gets around we will see major improvements .

Yes, the classic 2 solutions to every lag problem:

More developers so they fix problem faster
Better HW so it lags less

Funny how every nobody knows these two crucial steps, but all those big companies (including Valve) have no idea.
