Midyear Mayhem in a nutshell...

Caradawc✭✭✭I love this game so much but seriously how can anyone think it's a good idea to run a PvP event but not open any extra campaigns to cope with the obvious extra demand it's going to create.
It really beggars belief sometimes how inept ZOS are

Jessica please log in xbox NA and check yourself.
We're not your QA army and it's your companies responsibility to ensure the quality of their game.
I'm using your responses and have been linking threads in this forum to Microsoft because I've been a xbox customer for 16 years and have never seen a company leave their product to rot as badly as Zos. Also, they asked for my feedback because I've been a customer for so long. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!
Log in xbox NA and check it yourself. Very simple solution. You're not providing free home/guest campaigns changes so we can't swap campaigns freely.

✭✭✭✭✭FYI and @ZOS_GinaBruno
Cyrodiil ques have been acting funny since this weekend. three times (on two different characters and alliances), I have had large ques (45+ and 60+) pop instantly. I ask if there were mass disconnects and there were not.
This is PC NA vivek.
These ques will begin with a really big number (like 81 and 100+), go down normally and then automatically pop even though it says 45 or 60.Make Rush of Agony "Monsters only." People should not be consecutively crowd controlled in a PvP setting. Period.1 -

I am just home from work, all campaigns are pop locked. Queue 361 i am. Time to find something else to do as i have no faith when i finally get in i wont be disconnected because servers at capacity and considering yous cant keep a stable server on weekends wtf did you think this event would do.
Never mind deleting 3 campaigns recently and then re-instating 1. Reinstating Haderus just proved your mistake. Why did customers have to suffer for Zo$ deleting 2 campaigns?. What was the reason given?. Nothing.
Why does a customer pay for a game. Then pay extra for subbing and DLC for imperial city. Then have to wait 1hr+ to even play it?. ZoS is a joke with this mentality.

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.

They probably did, but it's all about the money. Extra servers, teams to run them, blah blah blah.
Wonder if they (or not) do what Blizzard did years ago, when they build it like overlay - multiple copies of a specific area, one on top of the other (but never together). From that point on, logging in to any area in any part of the game no longer caused a backlog. And I'm not a computer geek, so I don't know what that's called (Phased?? comes to mind but probably wrong).

No reason to close campaigns. no one asked for it, ZoS just done it and no reason given.

ZOS needs to accept that their infrastructure is inadequate for these sorts of events and do something about it. Overloading cyrodiil like this makes it unpleasant for the regulars and miserable for everyone else when the servers lag out constantly... This is the reality whether ZOS wants to accept it or not. Don't listen to the sys admins that tell you everything's fine, their paychecks rely on saying that, accept that these sorts of events with your current infrastructure are a bad idea.10
