State of PvP: Poor Performance

Savos_Saren

Whew. Last night was complete garbage. I could barely use skills and at one point my character was invisible (only to me, of course). I couldn't see where my body was positioned or how well I was aiming.

Has anyone else had issues with freezing while trying to spawn at a keep since Wrathstone? It happens to me at least once or twice a session now and I have to hard reboot the game. Xbox NA.

Sounds like the usual, only difference is it usually does that when a Zerg is around.

sad fact is its always been this way zos doesnt care at all, the admins dont care. its been years and nothing ever changes. No contact from zos, and the players are okay with it and keep playing so maybe its our fault? servers are locked every day and the lag is bad every day

1. Weapon don't swap - VERY OFTEN
2. Skills sometimes don't work - VERY OFTEN
3. Lag spikes - VERY OFTEN
4. + some other things
Prime time EU PC VIVEC.

Basically any fight during primetime on PC/EU is boiling down to 'who has the less debilitating lag at the moment'? Fights are not about skill, but about lag, and the best way to deal with it is to turn yourself into a heavy armor turtle because the armor will passively reduce damage even when the server has put all your little inputs on stand-by for 2 or 3 seconds. Its a horrible development taking all fun out of the game.

They gave it. They're working on it. With the next update they will reduce some informations about keep structures to relieve client traffic.

Of course it's only a tiny adjustment but there's more on their schedule.

Getting more into PVP. Overall has been a great experience. However, I now understand the utter frustration with the performance in Cyrodiil. Its ridiculous. I play on PS4 and there are time when you can't even get a bar swap accomplished and you end up dying because you can't get over to your vigor. Its unreal

My biggest issue is I feel like the devs don’t communicate enough about these issues with the player base. Thoughts ?

It isn't good for business to talk about something they can't fix. The infrastructure the game is built on is probably pretty limiting and the engineers who developed it are long gone. They weigh what makes them money and pushing new content is more profitable than worrying about wholesale fixes to performance. As long as the majority of the base is casual house builders whose vote is for new pixels, performance takes a back seat, assuming theres anything they can do to help it which at this rate I doubt other than the inevitable ending where they strip all CP out of PvP since the calculations clearly ruin the servers.

I honestly don't know why this is still an issue with you people. Quit playing PvP! It's been trash for a while, and really only works for streamers, ZOS associates, and those blessed by the powerful and all-knowing devs. You guys can keep driving yourselves into a brick wall, or turn around and leave. But you keep hitting that wall

doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results

Because any MMO without meaningful PVP isn't worth playing

The lag is horrible. Even if your meter shows something decent, your enemies might be lagging enough to make the game unplayable.
Health desync, abilities not firing, bar not swapping, breaking free not working.
Why do I even bother with this game anymore?
Have you seen how dynamic and fluid other games are?

I swear a high proportion of my deaths is due to some r3tarded issues this game has. Like how many times i have to press for a pot to go off? Ahh wait, too late im dead. How many times i gotta press key for ulti to go off? Well ***, nvm i'm dead. Not to mention skills just straight up not working even though you see the animation. Game is a 100% joke, devs are 100% a joke, useless shower of dog *** they are.

Stamination

ZOS doesn't care. Let's take a look at a recent example where siege was broken & ticking for huge amounts of damage. It took them a week to fix it. The second Maelstrom arena was dropping two items instead of one the server had to get shut down immediately on a weekend.

If I'm entering into a big fight, I make sure to be on my most desirable weapon set, because I know I won't be able to swap. Which kind of sucks.

Everyone, stop slotting earthgore/autodmg proc sets. This performance is more our fault than the game.

No because they're usually grinders or cash cows that fail on release.

Or... Just move thinks back player side and have moderators... Do their jobs!!!!

Using flat values instead of % in all skills and cp would improve performance a bit.
Remember veteran ranks values? It took much less calculation than now. Thats why we had nice performance.

Edit: added more info.

Another one i get is it can take multiple tries to get through a door and i'm either dead before i get in or i get in and then pop back out because the game cant keep up and i'm dead again.

Getting a load screen riding through the forest with nobody else around.

Getting a load screen in a keep fight and when i get out, i'm dead.
