The game supported large scale battles in the early days . I saw hundreds of players on one screen, even a thousand. In the beginning the engine was great with no lag and no problems at all.
I think they must upgrade their servers and internet band. Also the engine.
Also they must launch a FREE DLC named REAL ESO dedicated only to removal of perfomance issues and bugs.
I'm a fan of this game and I'm sure the issues will be fixed.
Please no DB until you fix the issues ZOS .
We need engine improvements, large scale PVP with no lag ( remember how ESO was advertised ZOS?), removal of the bugs and issues launched with Thieves Guild. Also please fix the other issues we know about them since one year ...or maybe more.
Please ZOS fix the issues, improve the engine.
AFTER THAT U CAN LAUNCH DB.
Also u can add free content also like other Buy to Play games did ( look at Diablo 3, or Guild Wars 2..they have one big expansion that u must buy ..the rest of added content is free )..
Ok , we know we must support the developers ..but ...look at this forum ...is full of complains.
Also u can offer the DB DLC for free after u fix the issues of the game . Yes for free as an incentive to regain the trust of players.
Please ZOS I want to play this game ...please fix it ..
I have a solution :
Please launch one big expansion per year .....so in the mean time u can fix all the problems.
And please after u fix the the issues please add a real Guild System . Besides Guild Stores we need a REAL Guild System with Guild Missions ( PVE or PVP ), Guild Halls, Guild Upgrades ( like special bank or special Crafting Stations)
Thank you and excuse my english.
