ZOS owes me 100,000 AP

Carbonised

Didn't I read somewhere that they had improved Cyrodiil performance recently? Man what a joke.

I needed some AP last night, so went into Cyrodiil for the first time in months, to get it.

- No CP campaign
- Visuals turned down to the complete minimum
- Disabled several addons
- PC/EU server
- Friendly visual effects turned off

I'd like to say I spent about half the time being in the game, but even that would be too generous. If I was lucky, I would get about 5 minutes playtime, then a freeze and a DC to main screen. Another 5 minutes spent logging in, and with my luck, usually back out of Cyrodiil too, with a 10 minute queue to get back in. Lost AP from spending most my playtime being out of the game or in a queue. Lost AP from freezing and disconnecting before defense ticks and keep overtaking ticks.

Also, I know it's not a local problem for me, because plenty in group chat and zone chat also said they had to leave due to peepoor performance and disconnects.

Guess the less frustrating way to get AP these days is handing yourself over to premade pvp elite groups in Battlegrounds. Good job, ZOS!

I read that somewhere too about performance enhancement way back last year but it didn't happen because of
Load screen saga
It won a day time Emmy

He isnt wrong though. PvP is pretty much unusable at the moment.

Solution? Stop zerging

I was playing solo half the time (when I actually was able to be in the game and play, that is), and tagging with a PUG group the rest of the time.

AD bombers were pretty much the only ones zerging last night, haha.

Problem is, if you want to participate in the PvP and get the AP from kills and ticks and such, you pretty much have to either defend a keep or assault a keep. And when you're defending a keep and AD zergers suddenly appear, there's not really much you can do about that, other than simply disband the fight and give up I guess, which is hardly a solution at all.

With friendly visual effects turned off, most of the performance issues don't really stem from zergs on your side, but from zergs on the other two sides, and that's not really something you can do anything about.

It's beyond ridicolous. I have started getting loading screens even outside of keeps now.
First and only MMO EVER to do this. On a quick-reaction setting none the less.
It's certainly going to end well when you are attacked and voilà loading screen.

It is. Despite ZOS' continuing claims that they have "fixed" the performance issues, or "made them better".

And considering that PvP isn't just something "optional" you can decide not to do (achievements, dyes, skill points, furnishings, AP for motifs, gear etc etc etc), I really think it's unacceptable for them to keep providing such a poor service for us in Cyrodiil, and I don't think we should stop mentioning it, even if it's old news.

Maybe they can use some of that cash they keep ploughing in via homesteads and crates to actually make the game playable ...

I had a 5 minute loading screen last weekend as a keep door I was repairing refreshed. What was it loading? Who knows?

No worries your procs will work better than anything else in lag

If it's PC EU non CP campaign then You may blame people the same way You blame developer for Your performance issues. It's well known that EP and AD are exploiting entrance into this campaign commonly by getting invitations from DC which is less popular faction there and have smallest awaiting time to enter campaign. Player from DC can make group with players from other factions and queue them as group and queue will count this group as DC group so despite of locks AD and EP players will still be able to enter there easily which causes massives overload of people during prime time hence the lag.

You know, there are times when my game starts crashing right at the start of my guild's raid night. When that happens, I call it after the 3rd or 4th crash and just figure I'm not going to be able to play PVP that night. It might be ZOS since I'm crashing at crowded keep takes on PC/NA Vivec or it might be my internet, who knows?

When that happens, can I recommend this game called Skyrim? Its aged incredibly well.

More like anti-participation trophy, since the OP didn't actually get to participate. I can't petition ZOS to give me the emperorship achievement I totally would have gotten if I'd been able to play.

Well aren't you just edgy and sharp.

I'm well aware that ZOS doesn't "owe" me anything. The title was meant somewhat amusing, to illustrate the poor PvP performance in Cyrodiil. But I guess that went over your head.

Secondly, it's not a problem on my end, as I even wrote in my original post, which you of course didn't read, since pretty much everyone else in group chat and zone chat were having the same problems. I guess they just have to get over it too, right?

Also, the plural of 'trophy' is 'trophies'. Do I get any trophies for that?

Doesnt vegan food result in growing intim-ladyparts everywhere on your body? I think I saw that in a documentary. A couple of kids reported that in a small town in Colorado.

It seriously needs looking at. I played for half an hour last night and logged off in disgust. I'm now at the point where I'm seriously considering cancelling my sub and finding other games to play.

Fwiw, I was alone at a resource, fighting guards.. And the lag was unreal. And something about lag in ESO makes it much more frustrating than lag in other games.. I mean I'm used to lag causing a delay in stuff firing.. Been playing online FPS since the days of 56k dial-up. But ESO, half the time it all slows down.. Sometimes it completely ignores your keypresses, sometimes it doesn't.

This makes your game not fun! If a game is not fun, then it fails at being a game.
This should be your highest priority. Not new dungeons, not new costumes. Fix your stuff or you will be losing players fast. It may even be too late already.. I'm almost gone..

im asking this for the past 4 years? did it made a difference? did something changed? will something change? I doubt it...pvp is ignored due to the amount of casuals that are well...casuals and those who liked pvp quit cuz no1 cared about them...and now zos wont put manpower into fixing something with a minimal profit...

Playing on a craptop that doesn't even have a video card and I'm not experiencing such problems even in VIVEC during peak times. I have to agree, this sounds like a personal PC problem. You turned down your visuals to minimum and still had these problems every five minutes?? I'm running visuals on Medium and don't get them after five hours. Without a dedicated graphics card. Literally using an Intel 520 integrated and sharing CPU in a game that hogs the CPU.

The last week or so has been pretty bad for me. I was hoping last maintenance would help a little but it didn’t....I don’t expect any compensation though,but I feel your pain.
