PC EU Vivec Queue is up to just under 400 now
PC EU Shor queue is over 100 now

I'm guessing the non-cp will have its own problems because we have a strong non-cp player base on EU

Sotha Sil on PC EU just had a 350 queu...

I love this game so much but seriously how can anyone think it's a good idea to run a PvP event but not open any extra campaigns to cope with the obvious extra demand it's going to create.

It really beggars belief sometimes how inept ZOS are

600 in queue in Vivec ...

422 in the queue for Vivec, guess I wont be joining this event

Jessica please log in xbox NA and check yourself.

We're not your QA army and it's your companies responsibility to ensure the quality of their game.

I'm using your responses and have been linking threads in this forum to Microsoft because I've been a xbox customer for 16 years and have never seen a company leave their product to rot as badly as Zos. Also, they asked for my feedback because I've been a customer for so long. You should all be ashamed of yourselves!

Log in xbox NA and check it yourself. Very simple solution. You're not providing free home/guest campaigns changes so we can't swap campaigns freely.

FYI and @ZOS_GinaBruno

Cyrodiil ques have been acting funny since this weekend. three times (on two different characters and alliances), I have had large ques (45+ and 60+) pop instantly. I ask if there were mass disconnects and there were not.

This is PC NA vivek.

These ques will begin with a really big number (like 81 and 100+), go down normally and then automatically pop even though it says 45 or 60.

Knootewoot

I was 200 in queue. finally made it to 48. BAM back to 324 WTF. Then the game boots me while I pick a chest and then i cant reconnect,

Oh well, guess i go play minesweeper

I am just home from work, all campaigns are pop locked. Queue 361 i am. Time to find something else to do as i have no faith when i finally get in i wont be disconnected because servers at capacity and considering yous cant keep a stable server on weekends wtf did you think this event would do.

Never mind deleting 3 campaigns recently and then re-instating 1. Reinstating Haderus just proved your mistake. Why did customers have to suffer for Zo$ deleting 2 campaigns?. What was the reason given?. Nothing.

Why does a customer pay for a game. Then pay extra for subbing and DLC for imperial city. Then have to wait 1hr+ to even play it?. ZoS is a joke with this mentality.


Zenimax - Incompetence at it's most refined.

I am a no-cp pvp player, always have been, joining a cp campaign is not enjoyable for me personally.
Meaning I have no other choice than sit in a 200+ queue. However if the team had anticipated by opening up some extra servers for the event, this thread would not even be necessary. I mean, the massive increase in pvp population was to be expected. This isn't the first time we had a PVP event and back then, during prime time, there were queues of 300+. I wonder why ZOS didn't learn from this and anticipated by opening up some extra pvp servers.

This, having some servers for the days during the event had been an good idea.
Luckily I have 4 below 50 characters I want to level up pvp skills on.

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom the guest campaign switch should be free for this event perhaps?

You didn't expect that the campaigns will be full with how limited they are? That would be funny if it wasn't sad.

We need more campaigns!!! MORE OF THEM!!

br0steen

Remember the last pvp event and ap changes where they said on eso live they "expect more server strain, and are preparing for it" and "certain activities to be more common amongst players because of double ap" and then they threw out some temporary bans on people who did what they anticipated they would do?

I member.

coop500

If dueling counted this would probably be a tad better, but at the moment, EVERYONE wanting a try at this event is going to Cryo, BG is a joke.

ParaNostram

Don't matter what the queue looks like if you crash the second you enter combat in Cyrodiil. The servers are likely on fire.

Tagged you guys multiple times.... What way do you suggest as the best route getting legitimate concerns in front of you guys?

this could have been avoided if you would have looked at the population queues and assumed that there was going to be much higher of a demand for people to go into PVP.

They say they read, they just don't comprehend.....

Arundo

Still at 362 in the queue....

Really ZOS if you plan this stuff be prepared for it !!!

They probably did, but it's all about the money. Extra servers, teams to run them, blah blah blah.

Wonder if they (or not) do what Blizzard did years ago, when they build it like overlay - multiple copies of a specific area, one on top of the other (but never together). From that point on, logging in to any area in any part of the game no longer caused a backlog. And I'm not a computer geek, so I don't know what that's called (Phased?? comes to mind but probably wrong).

you give them too much programming credit, Matt just brought all the mistakes from his previous MMO to this game and made them worse.....

Step 1: add 3 days of event (compensation for this)
Step 2: add 2 or 3 7-days campaigns
Step 3: profit!

Probably not an major issue, more people in Cyrodil, fewer people running dungeons.
They also had more campains earlier so it would be easier to put up again.

By this logic they closed the 3 campaigns recently because they couldn't afford to pay them?


No reason to close campaigns. no one asked for it, ZoS just done it and no reason given.

Folks it's the last day of the Vivec campaign and the score is tight, this is par for the course. Once the campaign ends we can evaluate the situation a little better. In the meantime, encourage folks new to PvP to join other servers so they get the dual benefits of not getting roflstomped by experienced guilds and don't have to sit through the long queue.

Reinhard72

Thhhhhhhxxxxxxxx Zos for the great Event.

16.55 : Queue to Viveq - 249
18.39 : Down to 167 and kick from the list
18.40 : New Queue - 437

All campaigns are overloaded right now...... really makes no sense what you are saying...

ZOS needs to accept that their infrastructure is inadequate for these sorts of events and do something about it. Overloading cyrodiil like this makes it unpleasant for the regulars and miserable for everyone else when the servers lag out constantly... This is the reality whether ZOS wants to accept it or not. Don't listen to the sys admins that tell you everything's fine, their paychecks rely on saying that, accept that these sorts of events with your current infrastructure are a bad idea.
