Midyear Mayhem in a nutshell...

148 person queue for Vivec, finally got in, ported to Bleakers, aaaaaand unable to connect to server. Hmm. Can somebody sneak into ZOS headquarters and feed the poor overworked gerbils powering their servers?

How's your Midyear Mayhem been thus far?

    Long queues for Vivec and all kinds of lag are not a new thing. Will probably be worse during this event but 100+ queues depending on the time of day are nothing new...unfortunately.

    Since morrowind, long queue times are nothing new. Herding every pvper into 2 cp campaigns in my opinion is detrimental to the game. Having to wait an hour to play when you only get a couple hours every night sucks. I despise coming across 1-2 hundred man zergs, the latency is gets unbearable and dc's become common. I miss thornblade, skull, and skeleton key on xbox. you could go into those campaigns and have good small to medium sized conflicts with no latency issues.

    I am a no-cp pvp player, always have been, joining a cp campaign is not enjoyable for me personally.
    Meaning I have no other choice than sit in a 200+ queue. However if the team had anticipated by opening up some extra servers for the event, this thread would not even be necessary. I mean, the massive increase in pvp population was to be expected. This isn't the first time we had a PVP event and back then, during prime time, there were queues of 300+. I wonder why ZOS didn't learn from this and anticipated by opening up some extra pvp servers.

    Just not deathmatch, because deathmatch isn't.an option for battlegrounds anymore.

    Hi, i missed getting into Vivec PC EU after queuing for an hour due to a rather extended loading screen.. all of the servers apart from non-vet are poplocked...
    325 is the start of the queue for vivec now.. probably more than that since i joined

    WHY OH WHY OH WHY IS THERE NOT AN EXTRA SERVER FOR THE EVENT!?!?!??

    What sort of contingency did zos make for the OBVIOUS outcome of this event that half the PVE heroes in the whole game would want to have an easy chance to unlock vigor and war horn?

    The long queues are not my issue, @ZOS_JessicaFolsom. It's the fact that once I'm actually in them and get in any combat what soever, it crashes. I want to play this event, it's a fun event the double AP event back when was a great time! However, the server instability is keeping me from having fun.

    Unfortunately, all 10 of my characters are level 50. So I'm pretty much locked out of the event. The que will be longer than the time I have available per day.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom I posted on this 2 weeks ago concerned about this very thing......

    https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/4346926#Comment_4346926

    Tagged you guys multiple times.... What way do you suggest as the best route getting legitimate concerns in front of you guys?

    this could have been avoided if you would have looked at the population queues and assumed that there was going to be much higher of a demand for people to go into PVP.

    PC EU Vivec Queue is up to just under 400 now
    PC EU Shor queue is over 100 now

    I'm guessing the non-cp will have its own problems because we have a strong non-cp player base on EU
