Why didn't Azura lag yesteday?

CN_Daniel

What made yesterday different than other days in Azura? Sure there were moments of slight lag, but NEVER anything serious. I signed on right as Meth got dethroned. It was one of the best nights ever for PVP for my team and our enemies. Fair fights won on both sides...WITHOUT LAG!?!?

It was us vs Nexus most of the night. And i don't think we had one issue when our groups would clash head on.

Very honorable opponents, love fighting you guys.


Is there something others groups we fight do to create more lag? I don't understand...

We noticed it too. I think I had one bout of lag out of the whole night, and that wasn't vs you guys at the glade LM, which surprised me.

Also, we don't run meteor in groups.

CN_Daniel

So we clash with nexus, no problem, but we clash with the bananas, and we're doing it, it's our fault...hmmmm

interesting...LULZ

CN_Daniel

I don't think either group used one meteor....hmmmm...interest

just saw your ninja edit ! LOL


Yeah, i thought we were gonna get a fun fight at the lm, then i see 9000 blue beside us...wtf..lol

Rylana

It did not lag because I decided to lag haderus instead.

I am the zerg.

We had a lot of fun, too. Group morale was high, no lag, lots of good movements. I think I logged around midnight EST so I don't know about afterwards, I hear it was still a good time.

That pour oils on the breech and jump down move was epic. We're def stealing that one. Kudos.

I don't know what world you live in but it was lagging, when your massive group went to nikel the game was barely playable.


There is no group/guild/alliance that causes more lag then another, no one says "ALRIGHT GUYZ TIME TO TURN ON THE LAG SWITCH"

It's a matter of the sizes of groups, density of players in a location, with the types of abilities/ultimates going that cause lag. I've gotten 500+ ping in a 5v5 fight nowhere near a keep before, I've also sometimes got a max of 200 ping (which is low in most cases) in a group of 24 fighting another group of 24 with pugs inside of a keep.

It was also maintenance day so servers were restarted, which always alleviates some lag.

IMO any group that purposefully coordinates meteors is trying to lag the server.

I signed off when Meth was down to one emp keep (BRK). A 3k ping with 5 minutes of lag fighting, and I just walked away for a couple hours (went to work out, then run with the dogs).

All three factions were to blame, with the grand majority of players all converging wherever the biggest fights were.

When one of the yellow groups went up to Glade for a while to do something other than contribute to lag, I got hate whispers from 7 blues for not dethroning and "defending Meth's emp". Incidentally I wasn't leading, just running around with a mixed group while on the phone for work.

So between the choices of:
A. Standing around with 3k+ ping, not able to cast anything, and hope that maybe, eventually, some points will be made.
B. Going to fight blue while red has emp.

There's no right answer and someone will hate whisper you (in this case me) regardless.

Its not even groups sometimes. I've seen it tons of times when two groups are fighting, there will be some pug standing off to the side spamming meteor like their life depended on it, It only takes one person to do it. I tested it when EP was taking a scroll from a temple, I was the only AD there (if there were others I didnt see em) and I casted meteor 4 times and ping went 999+.

So much this. We don't have anyone in our guild using Scoria or Meteor. We had some great fights last night versus GoS on Chilly and they were mostly lag free.

CN_Daniel

When we did 24 together at some bananas yesterday it did make the ping instantly go from 100 to 999+.

So....is meteor really to blame for all of this? It seems pretty significant that our two forces could meet in Azura, during prime-time, with a 3 way pop lock AND not lag. And both teams never used one meteor. There has to be some correlation.

Your a fool, blaming lag on an entire faction just makes you look dumb and ignorant on whats actually causing lag. Theres been times where I fought your guild, and ping went to 999+ but I didn't say that you were the sole cause of the lag.

There have been times where I fought DC and the game was unplayable, and there have also been times where I fought DC and the game was running perfectly fine. There have been times where I fought EP and the game was unplayable, and there have also been times where I fought EP and the game was running perfectly fine.

Stop pointing fingers like a angry child, It makes your guild and your alliance look bad.

Jules

It was the same for us on Chillrend going up against GOS. No lag, great fights. We also do not use meteor in group and I don't believe I saw more than one or two dropped from their side. Could be coincidence but perhaps not.

We may have unlocked the mystery that wasn't really a mystery.

Akinos

People are still blaming lag on other players and not the megacrappy megaserver? SMH...when will it end?!?

That sounds super catchy haha

CN_Daniel

It would be interesting to see if we could coral everyone to not use meteor just one day and see if it really does fix everything...

The banana constantly blame us (me) directly. I'm only pointing out we didn't have one issue fighting a similarly sized team (who didn't use meteor either).

Dyride

Meteor isn't the only source of lag, but I do think it contributes to server stress because of the checks for the initial AOE, animations, knockback, and finally the DoT.

Dyride

Haha, that's a good one.

Yeah one thing that may have helped last night was those fights were usually quickly decided one way or the other.

ThePonzzz

Azura's crashed on me once and lagged out many times. It was really bad at BRK, Chalman was fine, but that's where I crashed (as did a few of my friends online).

Ghostbane

1am GMT, North Wall of BRK, 999+

Everyone causes lag, if someone is yelling at you that your the reason why there is lag, then ignore them, They're obviously upset and are trying to take out their anger on you.

There have been times were I fought you guild and it lagged and other times it hasn't, I'm not saying your the cause of the lag. If anything, everyone in the campaign is causing lag or at least helping create the lag.

Saying one specific alliance/guild is causing lag just childish, though it can be very frustrating at times, which turns the community on each other.

BigTone

Well I can say last night was a lag *** show. Fought the same group of reds at glade mine over and over again with almost no lag, we go fight in front of ash and I cant swap weapons and I'm walking in slow motion. We get the keep wall to 51% and all siege stops working. I then stood in the middle of 30+ AD for five minutes without being killed. At that point I had enough.

Funny, the only group we fought who stacked tightly together into healing springs was yours at glademist.

Other then that, groups were spread out.

Note that my guild used to fight with two + full raids vs equivalent numbers in ressources/outposts and often did not have any lag. They way some groups plays does NOT help our crappy azz servers.

kevlarto_ESO

I found very little lag on AS, but this is what I run into from time to time, I have static group I run in 3 to 5 people, we encounter another small group then all the sudden none of my groups buttons work, cant even target the enemy, can change weapons we are all the sudden dead in the water and as soon as the other players leave the area it goes away, and this happens with the same players all the time, I can go to a huge battle little to no lag meet a certain 5 players and boom can't do anything, I just find it strange and have no answers.
