200+ Queue with one bar pop? How?

Bazeric · February 2018

Big problem, AD is gonna get emp with this exploit bug. Whoever gets it should live with the shame of exploiting to get emp.

EDIT: Well they unmercifully took the whole map.

On second thought, maybe it is just broken and the pop bars are correct.

Same thing is happening in EU, but somehow its someone exploiting and not a bug....right?

Lucky28 · February 2018

yeah Ad emped while there where only a handful of Ep on the rest locked out. very Frustrating

Really? Odd, did they lower the popcap then? There was all of like 20 EP as best we could reckon. Far from the zergfest of last weekend.

Exploiting the situation, yes.

No. I'm sure this is a bug. I don't know why it's AD pop lock, DC 2 bar, and EP 1 bar though. I wasn't in cyro when it happened, did people crash out?

The queue is broken for AD as well. I've moved 2 spots in over half an hour... but our population is still in cyrodiil at least.

Bazeric · February 2018

DC at one bar now too.

Bazeric · February 2018

Wow primetime AD really holding it down.

I ain't in the AD queue...

Jadokis · February 2018

And people in that other thread said AD couldn't win a campaign. Looks like they're doing well to start off reset day!

AD down to 3 bars now. I imagine it will even out to all being 1 bar eventually.

By the way the map looks, only AD can even get into the campaign.

Oreyn_Bearclaw · February 2018

We finally called it quits. Our EP group was outnumbered like 20:1 by the end of it. Seemed if you were on you could stay on until you logged off, but DC and EP werent able to get in to Cyro much after primetime. We went down fighting but AD took EVERYTHING. Cheap way to get Emp if you ask me, but whatever.

I'm AD and can't get in. I think AD just had less turnover. Players stayed up later, or maybe crashed less.

Really nice from you to say "should live with shame for exploiting" Maybe you need to use the brain and study that this is a zos problem,a direct game mechanic which is failing in the population distribution instead of insult a player who is trying hard for his emperorship. Next time think clearly before you make post like this.

But they aren't working hard, they are getting ill gotten gains that rob every other player who was out there "working hard" to do their part and/or get emp but can't because the opposing factions have literally been unable to get in to Cyrodiil and contest them.

ZOS needs to fix this.

Doesn't change the fact that AD abused it. a lot of people are probably gonna look down on him for it. can't really help that.

HaroniNDeorum · February 2018

You guys are only watching 1 side of this. Let me explain you, this zos issue started many many hours ago, when people noticed and had the feeling something was wrong with queue; everyone outside including ad ep and dc couldnt do nothing. 2nd, everyone inside was playing the game as usual, Ad goal today was get advantage on Ap,score and even crown an emp so the guys there got their hands up. When Ad were strong against DC and Ep, what happened? The usual: some players from underdog faction start leaving cyro without knowledge about the issue. So in that scenario AD just became stronger due to zos's issue. There were people trying to get into cyro? Yes. Ad dc and ep? Yes. Were we all stuck outside and offline-inside? Yes.

This was mothing else than a zos problem and the population of each faction inside cyrodiil was isolated and "stuck" there. So Ad goals were the winners one. It could happen to any faction and it doesnt mean and exploit. Trust me every single faction has the same issue of queue. Talking about "abuse" doesnt have sense because all factions had same problem, i had 220 queue man i know what u feel.

I’m sure EP or DC would have taken the gentleman’s stance and refrained from taking an empty map. Because that is what they always do everywhere on any campaign, NA or EU. Especially the Reds are known to just honorably retreat when they realize they outnumber the opposing faction.

Hexys · February 2018

I'm 100% sure this issue occurs because you aren't ported from cyrodiil while logging out, so the game counts that as a cyrodiil playing player, resulting in this huge queue.

I'd like to think that if was DC at full pop,we would have refrained from pvdooring the entire map and taking all the scrolls, but that's not how it would have gone. We would have done the same thing AD did, EP would have too.

and so ZOS is doing what to fix it........

Skippa · February 2018

Oh I know, I'll click "SUPPORT" that will help. ZOS you are disgrace..

But then why aren't all factions affected more or less equally? On Thursday evening only EP queue on Sotha was bugged, which was the first time this issue occured as far as i know. Yesterday evening EP was bugged on Sotha and Vivec, and AD on Vivec (not sure about AD on Sotha, but i think their queue was fine there). DC didn't seem to have any queue issues at all.
Right now it is only bugged for EP on Vivec (with a queue of 600+ at 1 bar population ...), for every other faction the queue seems to be working as intended (at least on Sotha and Vivec, i didn't check Shor).

Maybe it could also be that player queue, and when they log out they stay in this queue you know. so maybe if the queue is 500. 500 people are offline but still in the queue.

One of the developers plays on AD, I'm sure they are the current emp.

While it seems to be true that offline players stay in (bugged) queues, it still doesn't explain why it isn't the same for all factions, because i doubt there is any significant difference in player behaviour regarding queueing or logging off.

Lmao the salt

VaranisArano · February 2018

If we're all honest, and it had been our faction benefiting from the same problem, we've had taken the map and wondered "Where the heck are all the other factions?" blissfully unaware (or simply uncaring) that everyone from those factions is screaming "We're locked in queue! ZOS! Let us in to fight!"
