So... how is Cyrodill performance these days

Knootewoot

I haven't logged in since thievesguild because I kept lagging at every battle even with only a few enemies present. So I thought it was time to take a hiatus and try some other games. I am currently enjoying WARBAND multiplayer and trying to finish Dead Island since I never managed.

But DB has been released. I am totally not interested in the PvE part of this game so can anyone tell me:

How is the performance in Cyrodill now after the DB update. Did it get better? Are there large battles and are people enjoying it?

I might get a reply "Try it yourself" but I uninstalled when I was in a ragemood when I lagged so bad I abruptly removed the game. I want to install but not to find out it has not gotten any better.

Thanks for the reply :-)

i personally don't feel a difference. fps are low, ping is high when there's some action...

Ah To bad. I miss the PvP. But I can't stand it when it lags to much. Oh well thank for the quick reply. I will continue to watch the game and hopefully the next update will be the PvP fix.

hey @Knootewoot but it has at least a few new nice bugs. you can now charge (all gap closers) into keeps and things like that. or get teleported away from fights without any reason, ending up falling down from the sky.

you miss a lot of "fun"

I did watch some youtube movies and I saw people being catapulted into the air and dying when landing miles away. It did look funny

Also, Vet ranks are gone. I read gear-level is now dependent or CP? Does that mean you need to craft armor more often the more CP you have? If so, how much difference is there stat-wise between gaps of CP?

Or did I read wrong?

max equipment level is cp160, all vr16 equipment got converted to cp160 equipment.

but most likely more equipment cp levels are coming in future updates (but than again, it's like vr increase where you have to craft new equipment).

still getting aload of loading screen on lvl -50 campaign, and sometimes while pvp or repairing

Ah ok. I never liked gear progression and I already had 3 yellow V16 suits and since I only PvP'ed I was poor as a bum. I don't think I can keep up crafting new armor and make it yellow but maybe the difference between armor CP160 and CP300 or something won't be that big.

I read more interesting patchnotes that I can wear collectible skin and costume together. This is great because I has that soul shriven skin but wanted to show it instead of being invisible due to armor. Now I can wear skimpy costumes and still look like a soul shriven.

I've been in Cyrodiil twice this week at prime time with all three factions locked. Been a bit occupied with doing DB main quest; farming the new sets; motifs, etc with the girlfriend. So my sample size is a bit small.

Please note; I am running no addons at the moment as the one's I run have yet to be updated.

Ping - Has been between 70 and 150; spiked up to 200, but I think that was on my end. This ping was even during a large fight at Chalman.

FPS - 25 to 55. Last patch it was 4 to 15.

People are complaining about clunky animations, but I've yet to have issues animation cancelling on my Stam DK or weaving/cancelling on my Sorc.

It's an MMO, so there will always be bugs and such, but really enjoying this update so far. Things feel like they are on the uppity up!

I experience high fps in quiet areas but there's sound loss with low fps during large scale battles.

SRIBES

My ping and FPS is fine the majority of the time I play in trueflame or haderus but I don't often play during prime time. My audio cuts out when there are a lot of players around and returns when I spread out from them.

Lag is a lot better this patch imo. With people coming back to PvP after finishing the new zone it's gotten a little worse, but a lot better than what I was used to last time I played.

NBrookus

I feel like things are slowly getting better.

You had some nice things to say about the state of PvP and I was considering jumping into Cyrodiil for the first time in a long time. This quote however completely discredits you.

Good day, sir.

Cyrodiil performance feels much worse to me... its like my ping doesn't go as high before I start lagging... skills/break free take longer and people start rubber banding around the map as soon as I get to anything above 180 ping... I should say on average my performance is worse, but it hasn't gotten to the terrible 1k+ ping moments that I've seen last patch. There haven't been too many large fights yet, so we'll have to see.

Even watching other people streaming ESO I've seen them complain they're "lagging" while the little ping thing they have only reads 140, its really strange.

Anyways guys, remember the post someone made about...10 months ago saying "They fixed the lag!" that alot of us agreed with? Lets not be too hasty again.. >.>

Edit: Oh I just realised it was the OP from here that made the "They Fixed the lag "thread.

Wait, what? We were in group together the two nights I played. My FPS in all the fights was amazingly high, think I even commented on it in TS. Same with my ping; I hit a button and skills go off and damage is done. Or was this later after I went to sleep?

I blame Canada.

Didn't say my ping was high or my FPS was low, Im saying the game doesn't seem to be as responsive as it should be for how good those two numbers are.

PainfulFAFA

From my experience in zerg fights in trueflame during prime time... it is significantly better.
Ive been in alessian fights where all 3 factions have zergs running around 20+ each and yet my ping never went beyond 200.
Ive been in 1vX situations by chalamo gate where EP/DC are zerging hard and i barely feel any lag.
Ive been in raid nights and the lag is not as bad as before. Its a little laggy, but then again we're usually fighting 3-4 times our numbers but its not game breaking unplayable laggy.
I played during primetime this weekend and i did not go over 500+ ping at all in the short pvp seshes i did.

Is it completlely fixed? Not exactly, i still get 200-300 pings when its a contested keep like arrius or a scroll run, but i have yet to hit 500+ or 999+. What Wheeler did worked, but i also think its the meta we have now where everyone is dying instantly thats also contributing to better performance lul

I saw in the patch notes for today a fix for FPS on both 32 and 64. You'll have to tell me if things feel better today onward.

I do not believe there have been any meaningful improvements. I believe the only reason the server has been less taxed is because there are significantly fewer competitive raids running than there were in 2.2.

Another factor is a more popular IC. Though, this is a bad thing because we never have any way of knowing how balanced populations are in either IC or Cyrodiil. I wish @ZOS_BrianWheeler would have decoupled IC and Cyrodiil like he said he was going to do.

Away from server performance, I combat feels extremely clunky to me.

The 50% FPS drop bug is still present. This was introduced in 2.2. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can you even confirm whether this bug is even on the radar of ZOS? It's extremely frustrating and headache inducing.

I thought the lag was a bit better until the last couple of days on ebony everyone freezing then catching up around 10-15s later only to freeze again and repeat..

In short,

Compared to Thieves Guild:
• Balance-wise: Better
• Performance-wise: Worse

bosmern_ESO

I quit shortly after IC came out because PvP was dead for a while and the lag was still terrible. About 2 days ago i re-downloaded the game and I've been playing in Azura's star because champion points are disabled in it. I feel behind the curve in CP from my absence. But I havent had any lag at all thankfully, the game seems fun again.

but its a bit rough learning the new meta/what sets you need.

Let's sum it up.

1. They have not announced a fix for it.
2. They have stopped talking about it.

I think they are done working on it, personally.
