30 min Que for the Pvp We Love
Na Ps4
I have been having a huge problem since this update. It's not the bugs. It's not the battlegrounds. It's not the new area or class. This is specifically for Open world Pvp. Cp Cyrodiil. This is my guilds main focus. It is what we love to do. The strategies the seige the feeling of being part of a large battle. It's awesome and no other game gives myself or my guild mates this feeling. It's what we crave. We occasionally do dungeons and maybe a little open world stuff. This is all to achieve a better pvp experience. We have been playing together for a little over a year. Some almost two years together. We know each other by name and each other daily routines. We would all be online for about 2 hours a day. I would get everyone together in a group of about 5-8 people daily. We would normally be in the 30 day Cp campaign. Recently we move to a 7 day campaign mainly because of cyrodiil performance. Some of them don't have the best internet. Each one of them has already contacted their providers for better internet service over the last year or so. They still have issues. Now it's pulling my guild apart.
I was worried about open world small scale the moment that BG's were announced. I read the notes and started to calm down about it. Then before the PTS was even finished Zos made a huge mistake( in my eyes and my guild mates). They removed multiple campaigns to stop empty campaigns just switching emperor. They gave us Non Cp severs and 1 Cp server. Now we have to choose between the two different types of pvp. They nor I like non Cp pvp. We worked very "hard" and long to utilize this system. We are on console so we did not know pvp prior to CP. But we love it. We would not have played nearly as long or bought nearly as many months of eso+ (Not mandatory but worth it). Now it's in a sad state.
I log on and a friend is already mad from performance aka "lag". So I'm like I'm going to grab my healer to help. 30 minutes later I can finally get to him to help out but he still lags constantly. But there is no other option. We can't go to a smaller Cp campaign like we used to because they removed them. For every 1 person who then suggests Non Cp 2 absolutely hate it and would rather not even play. They log onto other games. If we even mention going there. I hate it more than them but would rather be with my crew than all go our separate ways. So he logs off for the night because he can't pvp "lag" and hates Non cp. battlegrounds que system is completely *** as well.
So he logs off for the night. Well I've got 5 more people log on and want to pvp. This is prime time now. I'm already in pvp. Que 97 on a Tuesday night. Wtf. I'm not going into Non cp because they will play something else. So after 30-45 minutes they finally get into the Pvp they love too.
Blue screen another 30 min wait
Long load screens another 30 min wait
Now it's time for 2-3 people to call it a night. The other 2-4 haven't even gotten 15 mins of playtime after being on for around 2 hours. This is also breaking their morale. 40 plus person guild gets 20 mins of playtime before it falls apart. Either lag que times or blue screens.
It wouldn't be so bad if they held their spot after a blue screen. But they don't. Right back into the 97 que that takes 30mins to wait only to blue screen 5 mins in and do it again. It's depressing to say the least. I try and keep the guild together but day after day of this is getting to the breaking point.
I wrote all of this on our behalf. A whole guild is requesting me to do so. So please Zos add another Cp 7 day campaign. I don't know why you closed all other CP pvp options. Maybe you see something we don't. However you don't see what we see either. 1 full Cp server daily. 1 partially populated non cp server because they don't have another choice if they get too much lag or want to play with friends without waiting an hour. An empty 30 day non Cp server.
Hopefully this wasn't too long of a post. I know some people will troll it which is fine but this game s a serious issue that really poses a threat to the longevity of your player base. We can't be the only people having this issue. I want to play the PVP I fell in love with 2 years ago. The memories (300 plus gigs of videos) are almost all that's left.
Ps: might edit this because I typed on a phone at work.
