Auriels Bow - full last night

martinhpb16_ESO

Some good battles on Auriel's EU last night, great to see it full.

Still experiencing some lag though, esp in melee and using Teleport strike on NB.

Different story on the NA megaserver. I think I saw Wabbajack with two bars. Why is it different on EU?

Some lag? I got disconnected 5 times in 20 minutes. When I had a few fights 2-3 vs 4-5, my skills executed 4-5 seconds after I pressed the button. It looks more like a turned based game than an action based one.

Wabba on NA was nearly full and actually playable. Lag/Latency tons better like it was before the Craglorn patch. Still some issues in large groups and glitches but at least it's playable now and people are on.

I'm not sure.
I was surprised to see campaigns suddenly running at 'full'. Not just the top couple.

When I did finally get in, I found there seemed to be no more players than recently. It still seemed empty.
We still couldn't muster enough players to make a decent assault on a keep.

I suspect they just 'did something' to the campaign display and dropped the player limit.

That would have sounded like it was in tin foil hat territory a few weeks ago. Now I wouldn't put it past them. But glad to see you guys running with 'full' campaigns. Perception is everything.

Probably people finished Watchdogs and already got a refund from WS....

Here's my theory.

When the Craglorn patch came out, they increased the campaign population caps. Because the day after it came out, all the usually full or locked campaigns had 1-2 bars instead.

It seems this change has now been reversed and the campaigns seem full again. I don't think the actual PvP population has changed that much. Even when the AB campaign had 2 bars, the population inside seemed very healthy.

Also as people said, perception is everything. If the campaign is locked people will queue to get in. If the campaign looks empty form the outside, people will not bother going in.

That's a theory, it could also be down to people trying the new content/trials, people upset to some changes/lag that now have been fixed or mitigated so they came back...

it was definitely packed in Auriels EU last night with all three factions battling it out, with huge raids and peripheral zergs and camo ganks. Could be leakage from other campaigns but also more peeps reaching vet cap or near.

Although the population was better in EU the lag was not, still as bad imo.

Like I said in OP I teleport strike was dreadful, not moving at all on cast only to suddenly rubber band to the target seconds later. Melee was so bad you didnt even know if you had killed a target and I definitely died numerous times due to lag.

All in all though the campaign had some epic battles.
