    This event has made this game pretty much unplayable. The queues are ridiculous despite zos adding another CP campaign to ps4 (400+ anyone?) To top it off the grouping tool isn't working. So many people are stuck in groups & can't leave, disband etc. Some people are even saying they're stuck in dungeons in pve atm. When has that ever happened before at such a large scale not to mention the constant dcing.. The servers were not prepared for everyone trying to go into pvp. It's turning a lot of people from Eso especially those who almost only strictly pvp. Rip.

    I love it because everyone knew it was going to be such an epic fail, and honestly the epicness of the fail itself is entertaining enough for me as of tonight.

    It's a Love / Hate thing. I Love seeing PvP being so vibrant. I Hate that ZOS didn't do a thing about the servers as they indicated they would be doing for Morrowind. ... still having fun killing ppl though.

    I tried it earlier today and it was "mostly" pop-locked, but there was kind of a stream of the PvP peeps just "checking in" for gift boxes so it wasn't that hard to get in. I had hoped that would continue. Seems not.

    I'll keep trying later (it's 11:40 pm where I am and I'm partway into a night shift) I'm hoping that 7-9am is not gonna be prime time and I might luck out server/lag-wise.

    Fingers crossed.

    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.

    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.

    This fantastic new campaign was poplocked in a few minutes. Qeueues on other campaigns between 250 and 750 people.
    Were able to play for about 10 minutes before I got logged out the first time. After going through the queue again, I got logged out again after porting to the first keep.

    I am hating it, because that flaming 50 kb achieve that everyone has said is going to be "so easy" is proving to be exactly the hell I predicted.

    Yes, I'm using siege. Yes, im trying to use my execute (mage's wrath because sorc), and no, I haven't gotten a single friggleniffin kill. You know why? Because so is everybody else, and their little dog, too.

    EDIT: Okay. There's 2 kills from flaming oil. Which then spent the entire rest of the siege invisible and unusable because of bewildering amounts of lag.

    Has not played PvP since back then we had veteran levels, but thought this was an good time to get vigor and caltrops on some low level alts. Found I missed the chaotic fun, no issues at all except queue to enter Kyne :)
    Say its massively improved over earlier, yes it was Kyne so less organized and probably less AoE used but still was in some huge sieges without lag.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Im gonna go and give it a try again today. Yesterday i was on for 4 hours and got 20 min. playing time. Would be be better if we got 4x AP instead of 2x then we might keep our normal AP gains since playingtime are highly reduced with crashes, loading screens and queues.

    Lag...lag, lag, lag then kicked to load screen. Queue again, get in Cyro after an hour. Only to be met with lag, lag, lag long load screens, lag, lag, lag and then getting kicked to login screen again (no error). That was how last night was for me on EU pc Vivec. Only late at night it started getting better but you know...some people have to work so I went to bed.
