Kupoking✭✭✭✭✭Actually no, we need better population spread between alliances. EP are pop locked everywhere but not DC nor even AD.
Agreed on lag though. Must be fixed in onder to keep pvp alive.Edited by Kupoking on April 9, 2015 1:09PM3 -

have you seen the weekends? NA servers are rarely below poplocked, and always above 2 bars on nearly all the alliances.
at this point more space is needed, or else it will always be a fight against pop locks.
they cant really force us to spread out along the alliances, they cannot give incentives to make a new character, they cant easily create alliance change mechanics. the best thing ZOS can do is increase the number of campaigns.I play every class in every situation. I love them all.0 -
Kupoking✭✭✭✭✭It wont happen. New campains have higher chance to become a buff server. plus, the problem is not about primetime, its about campains having nothing on them during morning/early PM1

I can't agree with this statement. If the decision to add more campaigns boils down to giving more people the opportunity to play at peak hours or dealing with the possible creation of a buff server, then the choice is a very easy one to make. Preventing people from playing the game due to pervasive campaign locks is not healthy for the game.1 -
250 + people in the waiting line for Thrornblade .... Well that's nice but a bit too much ... really need more campaign ....0

FireCowCommando✭✭✭✭✭New campaigns are not needed, as it stands the influx of players has passed and we are now in the stable/decline phase of player base.
We will need new servers once they have fixed server stability issues and fixed the current state of broken vet pvp. And thats because it will allow the hardcore pvpers to actually return from their PvE/BwB phase of life.2 -

✭Not needed they all don't fill up, plus we need to see what we have after console release, there may be a noticeable drop in pc population, in that case they need to remove a campaign or two.0 -

✭More Campaigns would = death of PvP, there are too many buff campaigns now.
would like to point out that currently, NA servers only have one buff server, owned by EP. the rest are way too unstable to be considered buff servers.I play every class in every situation. I love them all.0 -

✭✭They had a great opportunity to fix and expand PVP after ESO:TU came out and people were coming back to the game. But they are too concerned with the console release and pops are declining again. PC will always take a back seat to console the way things are. PC is like the girl next door that they practiced their moves on and then left in the cold.- PC/NA

The opportunity was never that great. The problems with server overload are serious and far-reaching. ZOS have openly admitted that "it's complicated", that "adding more hardware won't help" and that they have problems with "low quality code". They seem to have have painted themselves into a corner with a sequence of bad design decisions and fast hacks that didn't pan out the way they thought they would, and the netcode for the PC version of the game is most likely in dire need of a thorough rewrite. If this rewrite is going to happen or not depends on how many players they estimate will stick with the PC platform. Sadly, I reckon the numbers are not in our favor, and I expect PvP to remain broken on the PC/Mac servers.They had a great opportunity to fix and expand PVP after ESO:TU came out

glak✭✭✭If there was a way to keep latency down across the pond, NA could share Cyrodiil with EU, cut costs, and double the servers. But dynamically renaming characters is yet another roadblock.
Could add a couple such high latency campaigns without the AoEs as we've been beating like a dead horse.0 -

it'd be a slap in the face to their employees. I wouldn't want to work for a company that said "Our employees' performance sucks. Any bugs are their fault."
Fact is coding is not magic, nor easy. If it were, there wouldn't be the need for patches, bug fixes, etc. across the board -- not just in games, but in every application. People need to get that into their heads.

I doubt any of us think it's as easy as drawing a stick figure but they keep breaking and not repairing the game and then being evasive and flat out ignoring legitimate questions asked about lag/fps/bugs features. They go out of their way to close or delete any thread that calls them on their bs and then break the game more. It's truly baffling behavior in a purely customer service driven industry.1 -
omg... This game needs not more but 1 less campaign so that the player stop running away1

I tried to find the quote, but I failed. Either my search skills are bad, or they have edited out that statement, or I am just imagining things. My memory is usually very good when it comes to what I have read, but I'm terrible at remembering where i read it, and I can't find a source to support my claim. It might have been a quote from a transcript of an ESO Live session that I read somewhere off this site. Sorry. The part of me that is a scientist and not a gamer is ashamed of my failure to cite a reference here.
The quotes I can find now in this forum are only indirect admissions to problems with the code:
"We added in some features for Update 6 which we hoped would help, but ultimately did not. This is not a situation where we can just add more hardware."
"We are looking at the issue from many angles. I certainly didn't mean to imply we couldn't or wouldn't change code to improve performance, but rather that the answer wasn't more hardware."
