Rollback the TG Patch

Ishammael

I'm not joking or trying to be snarky.
Too much is broken -- need at least another month in QA/bugfix.
The game is not playable in its current state: (no) sound, graphics, glitched out mechanics that were already glitchy, broken skills costs, can't break free, asinine buffs to skills that didn't need buffing (LOL prox det), horrible balance changes (LOL templars), I can go on and on. In fact, there is already another thread. Three guilds I am in have practically fallen apart with the TG launch.

If this can't be done, just put us PvP players out of our misery and tell us that you no longer support PvP in favor of quarterly PvE nuggets for casuals.

On a side note, I would pay fiddy dollars for a patch 1.5 private server.
Hell, at this point I would pay fiddy dollars for a vanilla 1.6 server.

You will see the old code together with old bugs soon enough anyway.

I am getting wrecked by using wings. Feels like 1.4 (?) all over again.
hahahah

I would pay more than 50 buck for 1.5. Don't get me wrong there was plenty broken in 1.5 too but this game has strayed so far away from vision many of the original devs had that are long gone. There's a lot of stuff I'm happy about in this patch, it's really the balancing of skills. Also bombard spammers make me want to castrate myself. That skill needs a huge rework if not completely changed to something else (like blinding flashes to radiant). It needs to go or give immunity after purging it.

Oh and gimme dynamic ult and former emp buffs back

MichYodias

Bring me back to whatever patch it was before they changed all the animations like BoL, wings etc. That was the last time bar swaps and skills were responsive and reliable.

Come to the light side on the no-cp server; where spamming is a dirty death word.

The no CD on bar swap was the greatest thing ever. I remember being told they were going to put a slider on its responsiveness because people were double swapping, and I thought that was great. Then they just threw that in the trashcan and put a cooldown on it making it what it is today.

While we're at it just roll it all the way back to 1.5!

Yea that such big loss. I made 1vx and 3-4 mans be able to fight outnumbered reliably. Trying to cram offensive, defensive, buff skills on 1 bar because I can't swap on command is the worst lol. I take took a 5 month break bc I was raging daily I've bar swaps and CC breaks lol

If I recall that was all part of dumbing the graphics down to run on console. Never been the same since.

Please no. It´s bad atm but it´s better than 2.1 or 2.2.

You mean back when I could hear what was going on? That was worse?

It's the worst it's ever been mate. No sound, falling thru the world, crashes, weapon swap, cc break, old bugs new again. It's laughable.

My experience last night that caused me to just leave Cyrodiil in frustration. I was very hopeful and looking forward to Thieves Guild because of all the posts @ZOS_BrianWheeler had been making about performance changes and improvements to alleviate the lag and fps.

The performance in Cyrodiil is worse than it was last week before the Thieves Guild patch.

1. 999+ ping

2. FPS was at 45+ to start, as I approached Chalman it dropped to 10 then 8 in the battle; some guild mates were complaining it was lower than 5 FPS.

3. No sound at all during large battles. Then when I would get sound it would be loud and white noise or squeaking or water type noise. When I say loud, I mean loud then it would quiet down to normal levels then go away.

4. Load screens. Each load screen after a death or port was over a minute. In PvE land for example, they are less than 10 seconds, some times shorter.

5. Rendering. Players were not fully rendering; not even the black silhouette. Spells like meteor were not rendering either, combine that with no sound and I can't even block it because I don't even know it's there.

I understand Brian Wheeler and everyone at Zenimax is trying their best to resolve these issues, but it's hard to keep the faith when every patch performance gets worse and worse.

That last statement I'm not sure I believe anymore.

Why not make more objectives mean something in Cyrodiil? Right now the only objectives that mean anything are the 6 imperial keeps. Why don't we see capture-able IC districts that are required for Emperor? Why don't we see more use for keeps like Brindle/Dragonclaw/Drakelowe besides Home Keep bonus? Why are towns not allowed to be captured and made a part of the alliance war?

I just want to see something besides "Performance fixes in Cyrodiil". I love this game and the pvp combat, but last night I literally just couldn't play for more than 30 minutes.

/rant hope you all are having a good day! XD

The PvP now (over 2 years after release) is exactly how I picture a game in it's very first open beta. The concepts look good, but it's far too buggy for a live release.

Pretty much my thoughts exactly.

I was there for some of the first open betas and you're pretty much spot on ...

I have experience all of this.

MichYodias

Did they like revert calculation back to server side or something in the crashing patch? I'd rather crash in massive fights then deal with the lag that's back tbh

ive actually seen a few guild members come back for this DLC, they really seem to be enjoying it.

Cyrodiil on the other hand is a mess. Balance is way screwed up, break free bug, Spambush, Proxy Det. The siege is way too OP, no siege should drain resources, terrible idea. AoE caps.

According to Wrobel everything is working as intended.

I'm finally realizing I'll never get the game back I loved and really enjoyed.

Thanks, ZOS.

This is what you get when you cobble together third party licensed game engines off the shelf and instead invest your money in paying John Cleese to do some of his worst work.

Thank you Mr Altman. Oh and thanks for overseeing the garbage of Fallout 4 too.

Lava_Croft

I applaud the request but do you honestly think it's wise to make ZOS try and do something such as rolling back a patch?

Lava_Croft

Sorry, but posting worked fine on my internal testing environment.

kevlarto_ESO

I don't think I have ever seen anyone roll back to a previous patch, it's always go forward fix bugs and patch like crazy, seems to be the industry standard, not saying I like the way it works, but it is what it is. /shrug

koby-xxrwb17_ESO

I enjoy this patch I like the balance changes and such, I think balance wise it's a lot better than the previous patch and a step in the right direction. As an australian my ping even during huge fights isn't as high, maybe at the highest 500-600 as opposed to last patch where it was maybe 800. There's a huge amount of bugs though but no really new ones that are exclusive to pvp aside from the rewards for the worthy and I haven't seen any skill bugs aside from streak occasionally messing the camera up. As a whole aside from the bugs most of which hopefully will be patched soon I think it's a step forward, still not as good as 1.6 or earlier but definitely better than 1.7/2.2

Yeah, the update is great. TG adds a bunch of fun stuff.

I haven't stepped foot in Cyrodiil since the update, so I have no idea about PvP, but a rollback would not be okay for everything outside of Cyrodiil.

It is similar with SaaS in the business world.
