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.

I'm position 440 right now....

Rohamad_Ali · July 2017

I've been waiting in queue for over an hour but that is my choice . I need to finish on my home campaign with only hours left after we worked so hard to win one in a long time . I could go to the new one or even shore . If I was not already invested I would go to any other campaign right now .

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.

Working as intended. I wonder how many people bought morrowind dlc, expansion, chapter, just to get the achievement...

TOTALLY EPIC FAIL- Launch a Promo but don't increase capacity at all.

I am staring at a queue of over 500 to get into a campaign I play every day.

Please fire your marketing and tech team and acquire some talent who know how to attract new players without alienating the core player base who buy DLC and subscribe to ESO Plus religiously.

Off to play other more accessible games with properly scaled hardware - OVERWATCH FTW

Also cancelled ESO plus for this month as a punishment - others should consider voting with their feet likewise.

Can I have your stuff @Gengulfus

Ummm na I'm good I enjoy the game to much to leave but can I have your mats for the month?

ad pop is 3 times bigger than other 2..wth?

What a sad event. Overtime I approach the battle, the game crashes and it takes me 10-15 minutes to log back in.

Truly a sad event.

Lauranae · July 2017

Want an advice ? ... killed on vivec, game considered me as still alive, could not rezz, could see my life moving on and down .... had to kill client and now 261 queue.

And NOOOOOOOOOOO dont ask me to go on a campaign where i will be with unknown players. If i joined a pvp guild this is to have fun with them all.

This is really growing on me that you refused to aknowledge what we told you for days before the event and are acting actually so strangely. Are you sur you want the game to go on ? Because your event is really killing my faith in you.

I was in group with my husband, i am not gaining any ap while he is at is 6th box since i am dead.

In fact you owe us the ap we are loosing and the box we are loosing : it is your entire fault if we can not participate in the event.

AND NOW ..... we can not leave a group after the crash that just happened ......

moonbat · July 2017

After a 3 hour queue to get into the Vivec campaign, I pvp'd for an hour, 0/50 kills and was kicked off and now can't log back into the server.

I am greatly disappointed with this event, as if this kind of thing is going to be the norm for the event, I will NEVER get the 50 kills achievement.

Blacksheepart · July 2017

Aaaaaaaaannnnnnd the group bug again LOL Woooooow

phileunderx2 · July 2017

Number of campaigns matters not because the servers are dead...lol

sevomd69 · July 2017

Maybe they can fix the BG achievement bug while its down...

"Hey Steve, I got kicked from the server and took 20 minutes to log back in because Steam logins are also broken again, and now I'm 261 is queue... but it's a false queue so it might pop at around 150. I'm going to go ahead and leave group to make room for other guildies... Oh I can't leave group. I guess I'll just sit in Stormhaven listening to TS and watching healthbars move around." - Me in Teamspeak in reference to the event today.

a_Beautiful_Mind2 · July 2017

Been on most of the day, terrible lag and que waits. I find it hard to believe that ZoS did not think about the potential repercussions to the servers for this event. Servers are getting overloaded, que's into campaigns have reached levels seen when IC first came out. Better preparation should have been in place for this scenario, I mean the last double AP event was just as busy (even if people exploited) and if your wanting to breathe new life back into pvp this event would be it but it's killing it more so than helping if people can't play the game normally.

For those of you encountering long Cyrodiil queues, have you tried joining a lower-population campaign? Or do they all have long queues right now?

Zos removed most of them..

HEBREWHAMMERRR · July 2017

Yeah.. Xbox NA servers just crashed as well. Confirmed with multiple guild members. Please fix your servers. Obviously with an event there will be a spike in population. Cmon

moonbat · July 2017

I am 600 in queue right now after getting kicked and the people in my Cyro group are all locked into group.

Stopnaggin · July 2017

No worries xbox NA server just went down. Poor little hamsters.

Balthyzar · July 2017

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom, it's not a long wait in every campaign. It's only long in the ones that allow CP. If you disable CP in all campaigns like you did for the last pvp event, it may relieve stress on the servers. I'm not clear why you added another CP campaign anyway. It should've been removed from all campaigns already. There's no reason to have CP in pvp at all. It only helps in pve and just causes the game to be unbalanced in pvp.

Dracofyre · July 2017

this isnt no "Midsummer's Dreams", it is now purely Modsummer Madness, akm (clear the throat), Midsummer Madness.

story goes in pages later, an Intern ask the lead dev, "Who these fools mortal be"
dev replied, "These are players in que waiting to get in"

and now to add famous The Rock's punchline...
Players, Can You smell what (devs) cooking? "Amateur"!

truth is, this is poorly planned event only for single zone for PVP. they should had multiple copy zones prepared.

same. smh

I don't want to bring the topic but isn't this similar to the times when bots roamed on cyro?

Or they could just remove the AP penalty for switch campaign that way we can freely switch to less populated servers for this event

Vivec = 811 now
Shor = 253 now...

So... no event for me... this is sad... and also pisses me off...

If anyone wishes to join me at Pay Day 2, my nick is Mitoice..... No QUEUES there

Hi everyone,

Now that the new Xarxes campaign is open on all servers, we plan to monitor populations overnight to asses if another campaign is needed. We are aware that there are currently queues for all the PC-EU campaigns and are closely watching those populations. If we do open another new campaign, we would do it tomorrow before we get into the weekend.

We’ll keep you updated - thank you!

I give you guys the benefit of the doubt, a LOT....and I defend you constantly. But this statement has me pulling my hair out. How can you NOT see how incredibly inept this is? You KNOW what seasonal events do to world pop....did you honestly believe people wouldnt come check it out just because it was PVP?

Come on, guys. At least PRETEND to know what you're doing.

dodgehopper_ESO · July 2017

Forget the queue, most of the time the load screens from traveling one keep to the next take 5 minutes or more (its faster to run the horse there). Repair doors and walls has never been so difficult. I keep getting item not ready messages while I'm watching people standing right next to me repairing. Stutter motions, rewinds, etc.

They all have long queues. The only 1 on ps4 na with out a queue for me was the 1-49 campaign.

I'm talking hundreds. 445 in vivec, 185 in shor etc.
How is every event given such poor planning a resources for the players?

moonbat · July 2017

The connection issues have not been resolved. Was just kicked off Xarxes to the loading screen...
