Are you happy with how PVP is currently performing?

PvP groups are to large and Cyrodiil needs more objectives. Fix the lag.

Armies are too large? You do know theres battlegrounds right?

Lag everywhere...

No

Its a zergfest on Vivec, all it is now is large group spamming rapids, heals and destro ults. Its like the battle of the zergs. You have 4-5 man groups it takes 20 to kill, or they get killed even though the 4-5 take impossible damage yet still can charge a group 4 times as big and kill them instantly. Its trash.

Yes

I wonder what the poll would be if you were to exclude lag

I thought this was about PvP, not game performance

If I were to think of technical issues I may have changed my vote

Nope. When everyone is running a tank build with the ability to heal from 20% health to full in one flick, I'd say it is rather unbalanced. Also, don't even get me started on people alliance swapping for an upper hand.

i feel inanity in pvp. just do kills for frags without any sense. its fun to do, but become boring soon.. probably need some incentives to play it, not stupid missions like "capture farm" or "kill 20 wardens". need incentives to defend/capture castles

I don't do anything apart from organized 12 man ball group play, and from that perspective, the gameplay itself isn't even that bad. You're still able to outplay the vastly larger numbers and literally farm zergs of 30+ with relative ease. The biggest issue we face are D/cs, I'm so tired of D/cing I can't even complain about the lag anymore. The lag, by the way, is a joke—I'll never fully understand how a game can have the latency issues that this game has, and have no improvements made to them over 3 years.

If you're a solo player, or a small scaler—there's nothing out there for you. You log onto Vivec at primetime, you have 15fps, you can't find any players by themselves, everyone is in minimum pack of 4 and there's always a Heavy Armor Templar or Warden spamming heals while having 30k health. You can't deal enough damage in that situation, you run out of resources and die. If anyone is still solo playing at this point, and they aren't on anti-depressants/weed in order to deal with, they deserve a ***ing medal.

Think lag is the main point of this poll, its the breaking point for most people (pve include).
The infrastructure seems to be lacking and something needs to be done.
Maybe then other countries may enjoy this game "as intended".

..but ZOS doesn't care.

No. Lag, cheat engine, ic is dead, balance issues, and lack of communication on all of the above.

No

Maybe they already have given up on the pvp part of the game?

In this PvP is going on some terrible madness. I would suggest creating a separate system for professional killers, fans of PvP.
1. The entrance to this game must be paid for them, with a monthly fee. Perhaps with game money. Probably, it should be special Guilds.
2. Dueling between real players must follow the rules. No cheating.
3. Fights are held for playing money, the betting system, as in sports.
4. Do not harass or kill ordinary players. Obviously, the level of training is not possible to compare.

 All this already exists, but PvP is not ordered, and too many violations, fraud.
 I would gladly attend fights in the arenas, paying game money for it.

I often went to shows, in medieval style, it looks very cool!

Probably imbalances, the zerging, the repetitive forwards backwards and nothing to gain from cyrodiil? How flat combat is getting with lack of counters.

I came to PvP to avoid the boring slow burn of trials etc, to get a new fight that could turn in an instant from skill. Not boring bonking heads until someone dies or a zerg appears.

As someone who started playing (again) recently, I thought about buying the IC DLC when it was on sale for the anniversary... and decided not to. Because all I hear is that it's empty/dead and would return to that after the event, and I don't care about a Nightblade gank playground... and during the event it could only really be done with a huge zerg, anyway. Didn't seem like my cup of tea. It seems like wasted content and development that has no purpose in connection to the larger Cyrodiil PvP that I'm actually interested in.

Similar to what this guy said...

Mustard wrote: »

Separate IC from Cyro or make the districts impact the alliance war score more that it’s required to own them.

That seems like it'd be a great way to make that content useful, important, and become more populated. Maybe if they put it up on sale again (and possibly for cheaper, I'm still hesitant since it was basically dead worthless content before) then you might actually get some new players looking at it in consideration. But right now, it's a spiral. It's empty and pointless, and nobody wants to buy into that to find that it doesn't provide them with any real enjoyment or time investment for their money, and doesn't even matter as far as Cyrodiil PvP.

My top issue with PvP right now though is the lag, fix the damn servers to where we can actually play the old limited content that is available.

Letting that go on shows a cheap lackadaisical attitude toward maintaining something plenty of people like (and that matters to newer/returning players like me. If you're not taking care of what I like about the game, I'm not going to buy other things.)

I actually don't have a problem with there being large groups (and if you try to enforce smaller groups, people will just form separate groups that still work together and coordinate on voice. Large guilds already do that.) Or with Heavy Armor, I don't think HA itself is the problem, and I prefer slower Time-To-Kill PvP where player's actions make more meaningful impact, than instant one combo burst-fests.

drumbendrum_ESO

No

Simply not happy!

Balance - Incentives - Performance the list goes on and on.

I honestly feel that this game is just not being tended too and really am trying to convince myself why bother to keep subbing.

Its a time sync in a game world where many games are coming out at an extraordinary rate, one that is hard to keep up with really.

I remember my first MMO FFXI and it was able to capture my interest for a very long time. Others probably remember doing WoW or something on those lines. It seems that the developers are not interested in all aspects of the game and that's fine. I am not salty or mad this was a good game regardless of the issues that everyone has with it. The potential to make it better is there, as long as you have people that truly want that. So for what its worth just on the view point alone for Cyrodiil it needs a hell of a lot of attention to get it where it needs to be. This is old news just repeated over and over and until they truly address the issues in the game it will always be in this state.

Battlegrounds - Cyrodiil have the pontential to be huge if you want it, but you really have to want it. My assumption thus far is that nobody really cares about doing anything to make them better so in the end. Why spend your time doing something that is not going to be tended to.

As always if the game makes you happy "Play It", if your unsatisfied then "Don't Play It".

And when its time to go thanks for the memory's thus far and a happy fair-well.

I truly wish the best for all, everyone in game and working on the game.

Peace!

My comment wont be very popular but PvP in this game is awesome, it gets more and more balanced with each patch (1vX almost died - no farming newbies with 100cps and alliance war rank 2 is not 1vX - which is the best sign of balance). Yes it has its flaws, lags, crushes, sudden slideshows, but in general I still find it more entertaining than any other part of the game.

Dysprosium

Yes

I don't play a lot but enjoy it when I do. I only do DC. That bloody bridge where EP and AD are skirmishing drove me nuts eventually. Too much deja vu.

The pvp aspect of the game has morphed into a game where a bunch of players run around using destro alts trying to kill a bunch of heavy armor wearing players. Skill is no longer required.

The lag and disconnects make pvp impossible. I have played pvp since the game launched on Xbox. It makes me so sad that Zos ruined cyrodiil. It used to be great!

Lag, Lag, Load screens, Lag. Also stop with the freaking Nerfs. Buff the things that are under preforming leave the things that work alone. And did I mention Lag?

NyassaV

No

Dragon Leap is over preforming. Every DK uses it because it's the only burst they have, you are forcing them to use a broken skill.I suggest reducing the cost slightly and reducing the damage done heavily while giving battle roar a bit of love

Those of us who play just about every night aren't masochists in that we willingly subject ourselves to pain to derive pleasure. PvP CAN (as opposed to IS, very important distinction) be fun. And I certainly agree it's more entertaining than facerolling some overland PvE mobs.

But I am not "happy" with how PvP is currently performing because performance is unacceptable, the map has not changed in over three years despite there being a virtual consensus on its flaws, questionable balance issues are allowed to persist, and ZoS is draining all of PvP resources into its Battlegrounds and has shown zero proclivity to even address the flaws in that system: no meaningful leaderboards, still no ranked match-maker system, still stuck playing capture the relic, etc.

Hempyre

No

To many heal/tank ball groups.

It's effective, thats why guilds do it, but it drains the fun out of solo/small group pvp action.

Zos keeps saying they're making changes to combat this style of gameplay, but in reality all they've done is strengthen it.

Removal of proc sets and nerfs to various class skills that were "over performing" has hurt burst damage, which was really the only way to pick these groups off one by one.

It's pretty easy to spec survivability against a dps rotation without some rng in there to turn the tables. Hell, peeps are easily healing/blocking through soul assault -mine is a 70k+ tooltip-

Lag in pve isnt a problem though. In rare cases it is, but in pvp the lag gets dramatically worse in large scale. You can literaly tell when a zerg is coming because itll go from 50 ms to 250 ms.

eso_lags

No

unplayable on xbox, from i hear not much better on pc.. a laggy mess. ive pretty much quit at this point, sadly. there are other mmos that are playable and i dont think its too much to ask for the game i bought and have paid a monthly fee for, for years, to be playable.

[Snip] lag, loading screens(while in loading screen you can get married, rise children, become grandparent and find successor from your great-grandchildren who will take your place to watching loading screen) and dev love for zergs!
