LAG, again the LAG, poor performance - Cyrodiil

Iskras

It is simply absurd that after years of complaining, and there are many, ZOS has not yet fixed or upgraded its servers.

And after years of people throwing their money at them faithfully why would expend resources to fix it? If they were losing paying players THEN you would see them fix it, but they don't so they wont.

...and, literally, NO ONE fix about. Crash, Lag, login problems, sincronization, bugs...people are getting tired about it.

every event is full of laaaaaaaaaaaggggg

gotta be some kind of guinness record

This lag was amazing, made an opponent invisible so I couldn't even fight back.

Probably because there's more people there doing the dailies for more boxes.... That's the only reason I'm there

No, terrible servers, poor planning, sales of accounts above the capacity of the servers, etc.

This is called greed ...

I have been having issues with high ping rates all day both in PvE and PvP. Rates have gone as high as 4k. Don't know what is going on. Checked ping after logging off via a local server. Rate was under 100

MrDenimChicken

seems like they don't really care about the lag because they realize a lot more players, especially the players that spend money on the game, are people focused on PVE.

You could tell they made the game with PVP planned to be one of the biggest draws, but they quickly pivoted and made the game more PVE focused.

Careful, Thogard will be along in a minute to tell you to upgrade your Commodore 64.

As others have said in past threads "upgrade the servers" might not be a simple fix. It could be the game code as the limiting factor, then no matter what you're doing server wise there will be a limit.

ZOS have announced some changes with Summerset to how passives are handled by the server. Guess we need to see how much this alleviates the load.

It was when the new team came in. They instantly shifted focus to pve. When before it was a shared effort.

Server Performance: Several requirements that were part of ability passives have been converted to server side encoded checks, which will cut down on requirements ran per ability use.

Client Performance: We have increased the amount of cpu cores used by the client which should improve framerate for players on mid to high end CPU's on PC platforms. On consoles and PC we have improved how characters are composited resulting in faster character loads and less framerate spikes.

Is there a mirrors on PvP servers? If not, then PvP servers accumulate everyone from one megaserver without PING sorting. In this case, lags will be forever in PvP.

@Turelus

better cpu handling wont effect pvp much. the lag(not graphic/cpu stutter) will remain the same, unless the passive check is a huge performance boost.

imo.

Yeah, I mean we don't know how much the passive check will do (and I doubt it's going to be a silver bullet) but it shows they're still working to fix the issues on the server demand side.

Hey everyone,

We just posted a discussion last week about upcoming changes to Cyrodiil and there is a lot of good info in there if you check all the Dev posts made. We have changes coming that are pertinent to this discussion.

they have lost paying players, guaranteed, just not enough, what's worse is there are probably people still playing but not providing ZO$ with any profit because of the state of the game, I know I'm one

OGLezard

I agree, you have indeed made many of these threads lol complaining doesn't get anything fixed around here. You would think that one would finally understand it after the, what is it, 30th thread one has made on the topic?

You cant take away the PvPlag!

The two defining qualities of ESO are the massive amount of long loading screens (hence the nickname "LSO"-Loading Screen Online) and the Cyrodiil-Lag.

They are quite famous in the community

Compared to launch they have lost 90% of the population. The first year we were all paying players, we got a mount for our subs. If they could fix it they would, but IMO they can’t or flat out won’t.

I'm stoked for these. Cyrodiil's been need of an update and I'm excited about every one of these performance and quality of life improvements, and even the costumes have got my interest.

Cool.. let's all see following the updates on how much or will combat mechanics be improved; particularly for console. I'm hoping PvP combat performance will improve with Summerset patch as it did for PvE with the Dragon Bone patch. So, PvP will still be in a sad state until June. Oh well, there is real life or something going on outside.
