The entire workforce of Devs needs to work on NOTHING but the lag issues. This is ridiculous!

I think they have hit a wall, I like the mega server concept as opposed to the single shard set up, both have pro's and cons, one of the biggest problems with the old conventional way of servers is dead servers and server merges which is a bad word and give the perception of a failed game.

Mega server will have their own problems like we are having now, and I hope at some point they can get it figured out, before we all start running around as stick figures..LOL

From the beginning ZOS has had some grand plans for ESO, and I hope they can still get a lot of them implemented, I think they should put the Imperial City in as soon as they can that will naturally break up the population in Cyrodill, in fact I think it should be part of the base game, they have plenty of other things to DLC down the road.

The fix they use currently seem to be to lower the population size. I heard it was lowered to 150 players from each faction now.. Soon big battles will be a thing from the past.

LAG is the greatest downfall of this game. It does really not seem like ZOS is taking it seriously. They should!

The have no clue what to do.

Putting a thousand monkeys on the same problem wont still not be enough to produce Shakespeare a solution.
On top of that without the mandatory subscription they cant afford the necessary cages and feeding anymore...

This is out of control. Fix the lag Zenimax!!!!!

Quit "fixing" and "adding" everything else and focus SOLELY on the lag!

Yeah! Class dev! Go work on lag! Dessigner.. go work on lag! You drawer also.. why not! GO GO

irony off.

On the positive side ZOS is hiring server programers jobs.zenimax.com/requisitions/view/790, but on the negative, Funcom never managed to fix the lag in massive PVP sieges either, and they had 10 years of prior inhouse knowledge of mmorpg programming including massive pvp battles with the AO Notum Wars expansion. They eventualy gave up to fix the PVP lag after 4-5 years, calling it a black hole, you can pour resources into pvp lag but nothing will ever come out of it. So they put their resources to something the players could benefit from instead.

Unless they manage to hire a major senior programmer who know how to handle the strain I doubt they'll be able to fix it. ID Software actually gave Funcom some free advice on network just after launch of AO back in 2001, noone would belive it was actually ID soft. programers when they posted on the forums so they had to post it on the official ID soft. blog at the time.

Which is funny since ID is now owned by Zenimax media. But I doubt FPS server programming is much use in a mmorpg these days.

They can't just, "FIX" lag, and never assume that they can. It's literally impossible technologically for them to have Cyrodiil 100% lag free. That's one of the pains of an MMO with battles spanning player amounts up to 200+ on screen at once (Zerging), that aspect will always be around. Also, if they do have a group focused solely on Cyrodiil and the issues related with it.

Unless they want to spend another X Million dollars and X amount of years rewriting the entire net code, this isn't going to happen.

This isn't even something that can just magically go away in a few weeks, or even a few months.

Wrong.

I do love a well-argued rebuttal .. care to provide one?

Would you like a dentist instead of a surgeon to operate on your eye?

They are both doctors, after all.

That was my first thought too, Sharee

And my first fear, using the same logic, was that they'd put their legal team on it....

I agree, PvP is a joke at the moment and not just the lag. What makes it infinitely worse is reading the forums and finding no acknowledgement of the lag issue. It's bad enough that it exists but to see no response is a game changer, pardon the pun.

They've acknowledged it many times, and indicated that it is a top priority. You should check the Dev Tracker.

What? They are fixing or adding anything else? Haven't realized that by now, the last time they added something mentionable was in September...
