Poor First Impression of Cyrodiil ...

Nova Sky

ESO, et al.:

... so I decided it was time to experience Cyrodiil. I am VR2, and had heard great things about the PvP there.

And so I went there with a guildie. Good times were had — for about 20 minutes, at which point I experienced a CtD. I logged back in and, again, good times were had. At which point I had another CtD. I tried logging back in, but the third attempt wasn't the lucky one — all it did was sit there and spin and spin and spin after the account log-in screen.

My PS4 handles PvP better, stability-wise, than ESO does. What a shame, too, since PvP does look like fun. I guess I'll have to stick to the SP experience, where I can play for hours on end without a single CtD. Assuming, of course, I can even get ESO to launch again after a two almost back-to-back crashes while in Cyrodiil.

These are observations, only. No ranting or raving. No threats to quit and take my marbles home with me, ESO devs. But, let me tell you this: If a lot of your customers are experiencing this, you're not going to have a lot of repeat business.

Sounds like you got on during prime time when cyrodiil was experiencing the near daily mass trollbacks.

Not unless prime time in North America has moved to around 3 a.m. CDT Sunday morning. Which it could have, for all I know, since this was my first time in Cyrodiil.

Usulaly when i pvp i put the graphics in medium ( normaly i go in very hig)because the map in cyro is bigggggg and if you want to not lose fps in big 200+ player battle for me is the only way
I've got your problem when the eu servers where in na but after the migration the problem was solved (for me...)

This has been happening to me for months so i gave up on it. for me the ctd happened mostly when big zergs was around, but also anytime anywhere in cyrodil. Only thing that ever is being said about it is that its on "our" end. The ISP is bad, we have bad drivers, its something wrong with our RAM/gpus/routers blablabla. now when they changed server to EU many more experience huge lags and stuff so its with a grim smile on my face watch others experience similar issues that i have and how it impacts on ones view of the game.

*nods* I just crashed again. Third time. To be fair, I lasted about 35 to 40 minutes in Cyrodiil before this occurred.

I will take your graphics suggestion to heart, though, Tonno. Although it might be a long time before I ever bother going back into Cyrodiil. I mean, c'mon, if I'm crashing at 4 in the morning, what's it going to be like when most of North America is up and about?

Well.. is it just you crashing or have you noticed the zone crashing? The only current crash problems that I have seen recently are zone wide. - for myself.

Nova Sky

Not sure, Liquid. Dawnbreaker seemed lightly populated in the first place, but I'm not sure it's because of zone-wide crashes or the time of morning. Probably the latter, because I figure /zone would light up with returning players' complaints if the crashes affected the campaign.

When it happens you usually roll back and are returned to the starting shine at you main city.

Nova Sky

Hmm. Yes, that's happened when I've waited more than, say, 10 minutes to log back in.

That's why I haven't entered in Cyrodill from a month.
