He said "fewer" new systems, not "no". Also the planned hardware upgrades combined with the cp revamp affecting less server checks will go a bit towards improving things. Relax kid.

We've been waiting a good long while for the CP revamp. It was just now they decided to finally implement it.

They explained all this in the stream and why it ties to performance

Had you listened to the stream last night you would have heard them mention that the CP overhaul will also BENEFIT performance. And some of us been waiting a long time for a CP overhaul.

With all due respect - I can understand why the Devs don't pay attention to this forum - PTS still isn't up and already there is a page full of complaints and dramatic posts before anyone has even tested the changes.

Games change - that's the nature of them, and some of us like 'change', we enjoy the challenge of new things and figuring out how to make the changes work for us.

If you want ZOS to take your feedback seriously, go through the testing process and provide them with real feedback.

"I want to highlight that in 2021 we will devote more time overall to stability and game performance and less time to new game systems" "We now have planned for the team working remotely for roughly the first half of 2021, so the "introduce fewer new systems" program will continue throughout 2021."

What's the FIRST thing they do? Introduce a new system that will turn the game upside down on its head again. Nice, zos. What a great way to reassure the community you're sorry for the terrible performance in the previous patches and ready to turn over a new leaf.

You mean the cp system that was planed for rework since murkmire?

Also is if it is ready why hold on it for no reason

An entire overhaul and reworking of the cp system, changes to armor passives, racial passives, status effects.. etc is not limited new systems and focusing on game/server performance. It's not. Its them radically changing the game every 3 months, yet again. Sorry, not sorry.

This. People need to chill before they can even test it. And this system will help performance, new servers, more stability. These people...

my only complaint about the CP changes is that i feel they should have given us a heads up. This should have been pushed out in the June update. but i have only been playing ESO for 6 years so my opinion doesn't matter all that much.

They have been talking/hinting about the CP Overhaul for a while now, like it wasn't a secret. They even told us in a different ESO Live not that long ago that the CP Overhaul will come in 2021 and we'd know more about it then.

Its not the fact they've been talking about cp changes since murkmire. It's the fact, self admittedly, that they have dropped the ball on the last several previous patches, be it bugs, crashes, whatever, instability issues. They say this is due to the pandemic and working at home, thus why they said less game system changes more focus on performance.

However seems to me, theres more game changes coming in this patch, than the patch we are on currently. Which is the opposite of what they promised.

You think I don't want cp changes? I do. But given their track record while working from home.. I have little faith in them pulling it off.

Hell, they never really pulled it off even when they weren't working from home, lol. Remember the ENTIRE YEAR of performance updates? And the game was worse off than before? Buy ya I'm wrong, these new cp system/armor changes/racial changes/ is really gonna pump up performance. yall are right. *pass me the kool-aide please"

Sorry but you're just wrong. It's not even mislead, you are just outright wrong.

Overhauling how calculations are handled and what benefits what is EXTREMELY important in how your game performance can be handled. For example a 5 piece set that increases you Magicka by 3500 is fundamentally different in calculation process than a 5 piece set that increases all healing you do by X% of your missing Magicka.

One adds 0 new calculations; it's a flat magicka increase. The other is an ENTIRELY new calculation that would otherwise not be required.

There are hundreds of these interactions required and none of us on the outside knows the exact scale of how many are ran in a single parse. If you don't want to take the developers words that the overhaul will help lessen the calculation count then fine but don't pretend this isn't a required step in this sort of process.
