Why split communities? => Merge Na & EU? At least for Console!

IWinWithPewPew

Not sure what you guys think of it, but it would be nice in my opinion.

On console: (PS4)
- It sometimes takes me as a DD more than half an hour or more to find a match for a random normal/vet dungeon.
- I mostly play against and with the same people in Battlegrounds
- Finding people for a dungeon like bloodroot or march of sacrifices seems nearly impossible unless you have friends, or guildies with nothing to do, who feel like helping... I hate how i got to depend on others . I want to be able to play a dungeon whenever i want, and not whenever somebody else has time
- Trials such as Asylum sanctorium seem to be non-existant on PS4 (eventhough i would really like some weapons from there)
- Finding a team for pledges?? sometimes takes more than an hour?
- and there are much more of these examples..

- Would be a lot easier to find dungeon groups , battlegrounds ... and so on.. no? would be a lot more action in cyrodil , 24/7
and an overall less empty atmosphere?

Don't get me wrong , i got some nice guilds, eventhough some of them seem to be dying. I get all help i need... it all just takes so long

Idea's :
-Merge NA + EU
-Merge Xbox & PS4 ( at least)
-Make it so , that matchmaking for dungeon's and so on is made cross-server. The rest of the game stays seperate?

yeah, you know, just put everyone on the same server so we all have high latency!

ChunkyCat

America first.

I would recommend logging in to the server you don't usually play in and comparing your latency to your "home" server.

Try running a few dungeons there and see how well it goes. Then let us know how it went.

Merging servers would not improve dungeon queue times for a DD. Both servers have the same imbalance.

reguvin

No thanks

WoppaBoem

Would love a merge so night capping doesn't exist anymore it will be always active. I know many US players play on EU so latency does not seem such a big issue. It would be so more alive at all times. Never have a issue now but yes keep playing against the same opponents. Would be very cool to have it merged.

Hallothiel

No thanks. Like having option (such as today) to play on NA instead when EU is down.

And maybe you need to find some more active guilds? There are some very lovely ones on PS4 EU.

This, dungeon queues for dd is caused by the lack of tanks.
On the other hand merging servers would increase the problems during events and on release of new dungeons as population is larger so its easier for the queue system to overflow.

what about transfering characters between servers then? I logged in on NA and it had way more players than EU. Or just choose a server but keep your characters?

DMuehlhausen

And where would the server sit? On a floating barge in the Atlantic? There is a reason Australia players always have the highest latency issues. They connect to servers in the United States normally. It's to long of a connection. That would be a terrible idea.

I like that aspect, but we’ve been facing 100+ quest on weeknights and 200-300 on weekends this past week to get into Cyrodiil. Seems like a lot of the PvE peeps stayed after the event! I don’t know that I could take 2 hour waits to get in if the servers were combined.

I started new ones, learn from past mistakes!

EvilAutoTech

I play on both Xbox servers. I have too many characters for just one server. Which characters will be deleted?

Not only will it not improve, it might get worse. If there are 10 million stories, 9.7 million are DD.

It's hard enough to get into Vivec at prime time now. I would never get in with six times as many people queuing for it.

must be easy enough to increase the maximum amount of players? in cyrodil no?

frostz417

Imagine the horrible lag. No thanks

Veuth

Absolutely not, the lag is bad enough and due to timezones people will have delays such as being hit before the animation starts, etc.

You know why it takes so long to get into a random Q, you are qing up as a damage dealer. This is a known issue in all MMOs because DPS are a dime a dozen but support roles are harder to come by. It is why whenever I play a MMO I always role a support character first.

StormChaser3000

NO, since there will be...

rexagamemnon

It should be crossplatform and no seperate geographic servers

Beardimus

No thanks.

Dark_in_a_box

Because if you out xbox eu vs na there wouldn't be any NA left

zos has actually decreased the pop counts in cyro...now that i'm thinking about some of the huge battles we had in the past in cyro...

jbjondeaueb17_ESO

Merging NA and EU would give ugly ping for the people of the server you close.
Merging Xbox and PS4 is impossible, ask Sony what they think about playing cross-platform.
Not counting in any cases having to deal with double Ids, character names, ...

dovakiin5574

Well if everyone and their mother didn't ALL want to be a dps then we would have better Q times.

IWinWithPewPew

well i made a healer and a tank to make the wait time less longer,

HOWEVER , i still find myself being in an EXTREMELY long queue i don't know if it's just ps4 or not . But sometimes it's just rediculous. And no matter what i do the queue time stays the same. Sadly i can't play Tank AND Healer at once..

Finding a full team for a raid, in craglorn. Often takes more than half an hour itself. Because holy *** , you need 2 healers and 2 tanks for a vet one Might aswell ask for diamonds. Diamonds in real life are less rare than tanks and healers. And TBH lately on ps4 we're even short on DD's .

maybe merging would be bad for lag, ok. but i'm pretty sure the game's going to die (at least) on PS4. which is sad, cause i really enjoy it. I just can't get all i want out of it. There has to be A solution no? I would gladly transfer my characters to Na if i know that there are more people playing there.

Maybe it's just bad merchandising? But something should happen before it dies.

Ugh. No thank you.

ArchMikem

I already get bagged by North Americans. I don't need to be bagged by Europeans too.

Besides the NA Server is already packed enough to where a normal day the towns are busy and on a content release week the game is almost unplayable.
