cyrodill rant

Raammzzaa · July 2018

Great post OP. I play on Xbox NA and I have had the same experience. I probably lag out once every couple hours, and I am basically scared to transit for fear of gank by load screen. I try to travel by guar as much as possible!

Ive had the opposite experience. no lag, 40-60fps 100-150 ping.

why?

because as soon as the game feels "off" in terms of performance, I port to one of the servers ZOS proactively and graciously opened for inevitable overflow.

Sometimes i bounce between campaigns 5 times in one evening to maintain an extremely positive experience ive had thus far with this event which has now become a standard to the industry.

you can change your guest campaign for free. leave cyro > change guest > port to new campaign > avoid pop locked servers > avoid bad performance > profit.

U are missing the point here bro. I clarify the reasons me and most others arent interested in changing campaigns... Who wants to try to reach top 100 in shor?? no one. People that pvp, play vivec only! no pve no other stuff. PVPing is the game for them(me included). I dont want to waste my time in shor or in any other campaign with low number population just cause the performance is 40% better. U login everyday to vivec to rise up your score and help your faction for 30 days. I dont want to try for any other campaign. I dont need to farm anymore AP(i got 6.5mil) i want to reach top100 in vivec.Most people that pvp only on events or once per week like u dont get it.

Too many people in this thread alone all have the same symptoms, I get kicked whenever there is a big keep fight, just as i get to the breach.
I have a brand new reg, 3 month old. (Maybe not that new)

Which means, either us players are running the exact same rig / internet set up which is causing the disconnects on our end.

Or the servers cannot handle the population in one area and needs to kick people in order to stabilize.

I'm not a IT guy or anything but someone needs to upgrade and it ain't us.

my rig is older than yours but still pretty good to run ANY new game at high settings. its the server's fault. Anyone who says to upgrade your computer understands nothing of how a game works. simple as that. Its common sense to understand that if u time out its not your cpu's or ram's fault. its either your connection's or server's

Thunderclap · July 2018

New day, new pain.

PVP EU Vivec. TS port from Fare to Alessia. Only "some" blue and red attack the keep. Arrived and the connection was gone.

.

Thunderclap · August 2018

New day, new pain.

PVP EU Vivec. Use camp in Fare. Only "some" reds attack the keep. last picture is dead at the postion of the camp and the connection was gone. It this a *** game!
And after a 30 min fight and this *** bug I don' t get the def tick. Thx Zeni for my daily frustration reward!

This thread will get you agrees not hate. Why would it get hate? Never saw someone defend cyrodiils performance issues

bro most people here either want to be friendly till death with zos and comfort every single developer to the point that they will support them by insulting other forum members. It disgusts me. Also those kind of posts never get any attention cause of the point i stated at first.Everyone knows the problem but they avoid to confront it and support the complaints untill people are long gone and problems are gone along with the players.

No one defends Cyrodiil performance, bud. Not even people who defend ZOS, which is me quite often.

Frankly I just think there's a fundamental flaw in the concept of having so many things going on at once that the lag CAN'T be fixed.

Calculating CP bonuses, gear bonuses, skills, buffs, debuffs for 100 people onscreen not mention everyone off screen is going to slow performance.

Alamakot · August 2018

You're not alone, I have the same problems at Vivec, PC EU.
For event time my PVP Guild decided to switch campaing to new 7 days CP, and I think it was proper decision. I've spent there almost 3 hours in prime time, game was rather fluent

lol, I started this text (above) some few days ago and did not post it (even forgot, why

)
now appeared on my screen as I've opened thread... so I'll finish this.

No idea why you're still trying to log to laggy campaign. not much fun - 20-30 (or more) mins of que and 2 mins of plaing (just traveling from base to keep via transit shrine then at horse to outpost and BOOM: freeze followed by logout)
so I'm only atm at Kastav, D'Albei or Kyne

I've heard that one of other popular MMO's improved PvP performance by "removing opponents details from data sending to client". Imho it is excellent solution, as for me doesn't really matter, if sorc who is killing me has pink pants more pinky than pink boots and green armcops more khaki than olive green helmet. Does not matter at all, if he/she has necromancer or morag tong tattoo and what color are her/his eyes. What is important, that i'm not lagged by details about "fifty shades of grey" used by this sorc zergmates running right behind him/her and can use at least once Vigor and rolldodge before reading Death Recap screen.

@ZOS_GinaBruno -do you think it will be possible someday that we (players with not most powerful pc's/consoles and cheap net providers) will be gifted with some more video settings options to improve performance? not only "water reflections on/off" but also something like "players costume textures details visibility" slider bar?
I can even see my opponents like ghosts in Tanzevil, all the same semi-transparent contours with almost no details, for sake of game performance

terrannova · August 2018

AFTER 3-4 CONTINUOUS TIME OUTS I GET BOOTED FROM SERVER

WTF

well bro as i have stated again i only play on vivec for the leaderboards and score. This is not the solution. Why should i go in another server but the problem still remains the same? As we speak i cant even log into my account. I get booted from server.

dont even waste your time tagging people in those kind of posts. They only get involved with these posts to ban people when they get frustrated and use bad words or shut down those posts...

yea just watch how people answer to simple dev posts when they upload a note or some announcement that is insignificant for 99% of the players, when they use the most kind words their vocabluary has to offer. Dont want to describe u their reactions to more serious posts, where they will turn against other players for stuff that are seamlessly hurting the game or whenever something is seriously wrong.

But i aggree no one is that dumb for not having those problems fixed so far if it was something simple enough

terrannova · August 2018

Come on this server performance is UNNACCEPTABLE. my ping is 150 and everything lags like its 999+ping all the time.

AND ITS NOT CAUSE OF THE EVENT. It was like this all along when playing fridays to weekend. The reason of this post is to get attention cause everyone jumped to pvp now and people will see and support this. Usually people that pvped often didnt even bother arguing about it, but now with the event and all more people see this and react.

These time outs and disconnects ALWAYS happened.

i gave a lot of chances to this game , but it is definately isnt worth my money and sub no more.
No wonder this game had nearly 20k people at peak on steam not long ago(with summerset mostly) and now has lost over 5k players. It will drop again to the radius we were used to( 10k people) so that servers work like intended. TO BE EMPTY.

MakoFore · August 2018

last few days has been unplayable for me- since the orsinium event specifically. getting rubberbanded around keeps- missing ticks, disconnecting every time theres an engagement- at this point they wont fix anything. realy just frustration venting now- nothing gets better performance wise in this game.

sevomd69 · August 2018

I haven’t had any issues with dc’s in Vivec XBNA since new patch...other than one machine gun dashboard...which happened before this anyway...using XB1X and SSD on giga internet(Fios)...as always ymmv...

yea , players count will drop AGAIN and everything will be less populated so everythiing will be "fine" again. Fine meaning people still will lag but no one will complain cause they know whats up and keep up with it

Thunderknuckles · August 2018

From my (somewhat) cynical viewpoint I imagine scenarios like this going on at Zeni:

IT/Dev to CEO: Um, sir/ma'am, we've been promising the PvP community a marked upgrade in server performance since shortly after launch 4 and a half years ago. The team felt the need to bring this before you..."

Ceo, "How's the crown store doing?"

IT/Dev, "Uh....very, very well at last report."

CEO, "Thank you. You may go now."

IT/Dev, "But..."

CEO never looks up.

Well, im sure thats the case. But if everyone stays silent like this no one will actually try to convince the high ups to change things. When people ask only for a specific thing it will reach the attention of someone responsible to call a change. But most people dont care. They will go to shor or whatever cause they know vivec is trash so they have a better experience. This is not a solution

hello,
i know this post will recieve a lot of hate and negative comments but i wanna share my honest opinion about cyrodill server performance. This is because i can see that people keep having problems but most of the players, either have just accepted the server's struggle to stay alive , or either they dont want to admit that server's performance is poor only because they dont want to promote any more negativity towards the developers.
All that are said below concern EU VIVEC server. Its the most populated server and the one that most people play. If u are about to comment that i should try another server (like non cp or the 7day campaigns) i will answer that i dont want to play alone or with 10 other people at 90% of the time. People play Vivec cause of the large battles and the excitement of rushing to capture keeps and taking part in big sieges and thats what im after.

why would you lol everyone knows/says that the servers are powered by the finest potatos. Like Its an excepted fact that the servers suck

well, all this time i encounter the same issues on prime time on fridays-weekends, this isnt something new for me. Thing is no one complained before this. I myself had made once a post like this, got absolutely no attention like it was my fault and dont misunderstand me please but same thing happened to other posts too.

Even so in today's eso live nothing was said about cyrodill's performance. everything works perfectly. another reassurement for my sub cancelation

They don’t care. Plain and simple. Their communication is terrible and their interest in PVP is next to nothing. Don’t expect anything from them unless it has to do with the crown store or some other money-making scheme.

yea i was against this kind of thinking at first ,whenever i saw people saying that kind of stuff, but its clear now that this is the case. I mean today's cyrodill's discussion in ESO live was "eeerh we got the teleport stones ,the NEW costume which looks fantastic on your player that u can find in crown store, eerrh some changes in resources and uuhhm oh yea battlegrounds."

no wonder player count only in steam numbers has droped 5k

It gives me no pleasure in saying it. I love this game and the uniqueness of PvP makes it a lot of fun, but I’ve never seen a company so completely distance itself from its own product and community on an issue like this. I honestly believe they are way in over their head on the performance issues and have no idea how to resolve, cheaply.
