    Was there really any hope that it would improve? If it's not crown store item they don't care. I bet the crown store would lag that would be fixed ASAP.

    It was pinned for a long time, no? Does its unpinning mean this is as good as it gets?

    PC/NA/Vivec lag seems worse in 3.2 and the disappearing sound bug is back @ZOS_BrianWheeler. The server lag is brutal tonight.

    Hey All!

    I wanted to post, too, that PvP was unplayable for me tonite (PC NA). Low FPS since patch and I also experienced the sound bug in heavy keep fights.

    Hope it improves soon!

    In our group we assumed they made the sound shut off much sooner than before to try to improve performance.

    To be honest the lag et al seems little improved.

    Lagg seems a bit less in vivec but there is no sound in almost every fight that gets a bit more players. Less lag might also be my new comp. XD

    My FPS has been better, by my server connection has suffered the past few patches. I used to have a pretty stable connection to it, but now its been meh. Could just be something client side, or it could be that the server I am routed through is stressed, not sure.

    This thread is epic. Why?

    As you can see they have been "working" on pvp performance for literally years.

    They arent fixing it, if they could they would have.

    The champion point system is perhaps one of the biggest (epic) failures in mmo history for how its affected negatively so many aspects of the game.

    @ZOS_BrianWheeler Good day!

    From a player who spend 3-4hours a day in Cyrodiil 6 days a week at primetime, I noticed a considerable decrease of performances in Cyrodiil (latency / ping / server) for the past couple weeks.

    I am unsure if it's because of the way groups behave, stacking their whole faction in a single keep more than before, but the ping has been hitting the 400ms more often than usual (which has been the highest ping for me for the past year and a half).

    I don't know what exactly was changed in the code to bring more calculations to the server but it did not help.

    While finding the perfect spot to place a camp on a keep isn't an exploit, this is not intended. We will have a fix for this in the coming PTS cycle which means it will be fixed in Update 17. By "Fixed" we mean you can't do this anymore after that patch goes live.

    Have no fear, ZOS is on top of the important issues in Cyrodiil. I'm sure once that FC placement issue is taken care of, they'll finally have time to deal with some of the lesser issues like server performance and client security.

    I challenge the DEVS to log on to a campaign such as VIVEC (for EU PC) and try playing there. Absolutely unacceptable. It's a disgrace. Porting from one keep to another, reviving to somewhere just takes ages in that loading screen.

    I miss old days with hundreds of people on the same screen.

    They really need to upgrade their servers and make huge code modifications. Mid Year Mayhem proved they need better servers who can handle more people.

    "This thread is for ongoing discussions about Cyrodiil"


    Currently the crashes in one night one can expect during prime time is one full crash out of cyro (per hour) and depending on how many transits or rezzes at camps you can expect at least two "loading screen" locks at about 4 min each (per hour).

    The ques are about 60 during most prime times on average, fluctuating between highs and lows- this translates to roughly 8 min in load screens and 25 min to reque when crashed out. So- 33min of every hour of play is spent in load screens or queing back into game during prime time. Guessing this isn't optimal for an "average" player experience in an MMO- with that kind of playtime its no wonder the revenue from PvP cant compete with PvE, you simply don't have the capability to let players play for more than 27 min of every hour of time available and of course this will impact the revenue stream.

    Since you are logging into the game frequently to do QC checks I may only be telling you something you are already working on, but figured since you took the time to put this up so long ago asking for feedback I would give you some that is more current.

    Do you not finding it embarrassing that this Thread was started over two years ago and you are yet to make any significant improvement in PVP Performance! In Fact in recent months performance has taken a down turn.

    As your last post was a year ago, Isn't it about time an new post is created to at least give us some hope that you are still working on all the issues.

    I am afraid they will never fix Cyrodill simply because they have no clue how to fix it. Their last fix that should have ended the infinite long loading screens and should have boosted Cyrodill performance was just terrible. They cannot fix it!

    @Zbigb4life
    Having played since launch, I have a similar sentiment regarding PVP, but still it would be nice for them to start acknowledging again all the issues they are not addressing.
    @ZOS_BrianWheeler Why is it we are not getting all the updates promised, why are we not being kept up to date on what you are hoping to achieve.

    My normal day in vivec na pc when I get off work.

    -Log on and hope there isn't a 80 player queue
    -get into cyro and see the same fight at bleakers/chal and nik/ash
    -play horse simulator
    -run past ash or bleak and watch my ping climb to 300 and my fps drop to 20
    -crash while trying to get past the keeps for open field fights.
    -relog
    -queue up for vivec again
    -play horse simulator
    -actually make it past ash/bleak or wherever without dropping and looks for open field fights
    -find a fight and mid fight die because my ping randomly jumps to 999+
    -say *** this and log out or go duel in wayrest
