Cyrodiil is a Total Wreck.

Palidon

Cyrodiil for lack of a better word is a total WRECK. Delayed sound effects, animation effects, serious lag, crashes etc, etc, etc. With those issues the game is not even fun to play. Since patch 1.5.6 it is the worst I have ever seen and I have been playing in Cyrodiil for some time. Heck it took two minutes for the game to finally realize that I was out of combat so I could mount my horse and I was standing in the middle of a Keep courtyard that was not even under attack. I hate to think how many times I have had to use reloadui so I could open a keep door. To think I am paying to play a game that just keeps getting worse. ZOS get off your butts and fix the Cyrodiil issues or make your game free to play. I see no justification to charge a monthly fee for a game that has so many issues and bugs and your game has been out now for over 7 months. Seems every update brings more problems and the patches to fix the issues with every update just adds to the list list of problems this game has. Heck ZOS did not even have scheduled maintenance today which tells me how concerned they are about the down hill slide their game has been taking. I for one am not renewing my sub that is for sure. It is time to move on to another game.

I'd agree that Cyro is a mess...fps drops suck, lag sucks, giant freezes/stutters suck, and the sounds eventually stop playing all together when its a big fight. Yes Zos needs to get on the ball. Blah blah same post every day :P

But...please do not say free to play. You think its bad now? Free to play is always way more expensive than pay to play if you want to keep up and be able to enjoy content. FREE TO PLAY BAD O_O.

For the door bug/transitus bug/interaction bug...dodge roll, weapon swap, then use the door. Don't reloadui...I have to use that combo nearly 50% of the time. Just make sure you dodge roll first :P

Agreed, yesterday, and about 3 days agos, and I'm keeping count, Cyrodiil it's IMPOSSIBLE to play 'cause of LAG, I already submite feedbacks, bug's and nothing will happen, I have the some problems with sounds, animations, bug's, LAG, drop FPS, @Zenimax doenst have server to do it, and it's not paying attention, yesterday @Zenimax probably lost about a hundred subs, people blaming and complaining a lot! and NO GM's to make something.

We don't have ANY support about it.

Cyrodiil is a wreck. At least it's playable more than 70% of the time though. That's a pretty good ratio, right?

You do realize that these quit threads serve no actual purpose? If you don't like this game as a sub you're going to hate it even more as a F2P. I agree they need to do better job fixing PvP, but threatening to quit isn't really going to make them work any harder or faster.

Yolokin_Swagonborn

This is NOT a quit thread. You are just trying to get this thread closed.

Here is the problem. There is a HUGE issue with a major part of this game.

ZOS is not sufficiently acknowledging this problem.

PvP is completely broken. No way to sugar coat that. Near everyone that plays PVP feels betrayed by ZOS. The neglect is palpable.

How else should I interpret that? I'm not disagreeing with you, I just find your method useless.

I really like this game and it's sad to me how far Cyrodiil has fallen. Population is a small fraction of what it used to be. Last night with my siege bugging out every time it was a waste of time to play. I am bummed

What campaign and what server?

s7732425ub17_ESO

There are 2 hours of the day on Thornblade NA where Cyrodiil is unplayable. This is due to a large number of players in a tight space attacking another large number of players in a tight space. This only really happens when all three populations are locked.

If you avoid this period, Cyrodiil is very, very playable. There are no crashes anymore (I can play for 4 straight hours and never crash!!!). There is no lag apart from what I explained above. It's actually quite nice.

NadiusMaximus

I haven't had a single problem in pvp. Lower your settings, drop add-ons, stop spamming abilities.

85-90% in my experience. It's a shame that it's the 10-15% that counts...

3 locks every night. I was in queue last night as DC.

Hey, all.
We've moved this thread from the General Discussion - English section to the Alliance War section. Thanks!

I have been learning how to PvP and have no problems in Cyrodil. I guess that it might be when you go. During prime time, I have RP events that I have to attend so my PvP is off peak hours. I get better fps in Cyrodil than I do in Shornhelm for RP time.

So, let me hazard a guess. It is not the game that is broken, but it is the sheer number of people in the same place and time that is causing the problem. If you were on a dedicated PvP server it would be faster. But then you would not be able to play against everyone else as it would be different servers. This is the megaserver where you can play against anyone on the server. They can not take the bandwidth from non-PvPers to make sure that your game is smoother.

Either a lie or you don't play much.

HOW pray tell, is lowering your settings going to fix entire server lag and a server crash followed by the entire servers progress rolled back in time or an earlier moment, likely giving your enemy their scroll back after an hour of trying to take it.

Honest question. Do you think if I turn my router off and on again it might make the zone "anyone got 10 seconds of lag?" spam go away?

WebBull

It is a wreck....a wreck getting worse. Most players are practically begging for fixes because the concept is phenomenal. We all know the bugs, we all know the lag, we all know the crashes, we all know the abilities not working, etc. A few in this thread act like none of this is occurring which tells me that you either play when the factions are only at one bar or you are simply a troll.

This game had the potential to be the biggest and best MMO on the market. Unfortunately ZOS's inability due to ineptitude and/or lack and money and resources has just about put the final nail in the coffin.

Why everyone always whine about the lag in thorn?... i rarely go there cause of it... i spend 90% of my time on buff servers and probably get more ap there then in thorn... "oh the queue times are horrible and the lag" jump on a buff server then... you guys do know there are other places right?... you think there is no action there? Grab a keep.. or better yet grab a scroll... lol

Because that is fun how? May as well be playing a single player game instead of an MMO.

I for one am glad that ZOS did not come back from the holiday all full of diabetes risk and what not, as we all tend to do... and then try and roll out changes. This is an accident waiting to happen even for work that is less tedious than software development.

Yes PvP lag is still very real and unacceptable.

ZOS your community involvement has improved, but your PR still sucks the big one. I have the luxury of NOT comparing you to any other games... I'm just comparing you to any other organization that provides a product/service for a fee... even though it's a very small one that I'm happy to pay so that you've no excuses to at least TELL US WHAT YOUR PLANS ARE TO FIX PvP. And oil pot nerfs, AoE caps and FC's are just bandaids not solutions.

It is too bad that those 2 hours where cyrodiil is unplayable is my exact gaming time usually. Oh well. Sub is canceled because of this exact reason. Don't even nkow why I'm posting anymore.

Sharee

As soon as two armies of 20+ run into each other and start spamming AOE, all action basically stops. Red 999+ on the lag meter. Doors don't work, no siege placeable, no abilities work, and if they do, then with a minutes long delay (i used streak on my sorc, didn't move, keep running around, and 2 mins later get teleported across whole keep to the original streak destination).

Agreed. I really only play for the zerg v zerg experience. If populations are at two bars, the gameplay is very slow- tons of small fights with long travel times due to deaths and elder horse online.

The game is specifically designed to have big battles. If there is a scroll within a keep, all three factions will be attacking it at the same time. This is the best part of PVP, but sadly, due to the lag, it's unplayable now.

So any discussion of PvP or Cyrodiil doens't belong in the "General Forums" anymore?

That should tell you something right there.

Cody

ZOS has got to stop adding in more PvE zones until they fix cyrodill. Craglorn was never even needed, and honestly, neither is wrothgar. All that effort ZOS spent on those pointless PvE zones(one of them was nothing but a pathetic grind zone for at least 3 months) they could have spent on fixing PvP. WE DONT NEED MORE PVE ZONES. WE HAVE 18 ZONES NOW> THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH. STOP IGNORING PVP!!!!!!! FIX!!!

Ya single player...
Go see what happens. ..

Played for about 4 hours last night, the started getting C-r-a-z-y lag last night while PvE'ing and thought, if it's this bad in PvE I wonder how bad it is in PvP. I was expecting it to be craptastic, wasn't let down either.

The real shame about the whole thing, there were about 4 useless reds on last night taking resources that in normal circumstances I would have pummeled into the ground, tried in vein. I'd move around, only to be warped back to where I was about 3 seconds earlier. Attacks wouldn't action until moments later, and counters were useless. You'd get lucky in the counter you'd use would actually block the third or so attack the enemy had got in.

The enemy by the way looked fine, moving around no problems. I checked my rig, tried another online game without issue, even did the stupid reset my router thing, 'just in case'

ESO was just unplayable late last night for me, got killed 4 times in quick succession, didn't kill once. I was pretty annoyed, horrible experience, logged off.

Yeah, you can have lots of fun doing that when you're chased by a group of enemies.
