PC - EU Server Update

Gnozo

Hello ZOS,

I just wanted to mention something regarding the Server Update.

It feels good to hear that you want to invest in more Hardware and i accept that we need to deal with a Login Queue and i hope it wont take too Long.

When you upgrade the Server, please, for the love of god, put everything in it you can find. Pump them Up, ask NASA for additional Ressources, put in everything, capture the Google main Datacentre and use it for PC EU.

Make it that the Server can handle 1 Million with only 20% of its real Power.

You have the chance now to finally get rid of all the Performance und complains and get a huuuuge chunk of old players back to the game. And new players coming, telling others how good Performance is and more players will come.

Give us the Performance we deserve for our Money. Esspecially in Cyro please

Wishful thinking but unfortunately business doesn't run like that. It is exactly opposite to what you want. That is why we have overbooking in airline. They took an educated guess on how many will log in simultaneously and then lower the number even further and see how much they can get away with it. So, this time they guessed wrong. Business as usual.

Yes, voting for performance too.

The server performance has been an issue for years. It is just a business decision to run them at 150% load. Obviously running them at 300% load makes the game unplayable.
Let's hope management releases enough money, but I doubt it - they could have done the necessary upgrade for years now, but they didn't.

It would be a dream after 5 years. The lag isn't as bad as I have known it but for 5 long years it has been a constant ball-ache. Please ZOS, spend a few extra bucks for you loyal ESO family...

IF they buff the servers i will eat my hat IF there is an improvement. Once bitten twice shy with this shoddy company i'm afraid.

idk

Zos is only adding capacity. Adding faster server doesn’t make up for all the calculations has added to the game and the poor coding.

Sounds more like "Once bitten, still here" to me !

Here is how business works.

1) We have a million to invest
2) if we upgrade the servers for a million, how much more than a million will we earn?
3) if we used the million to put more stuff in the store, how much would we earn?
4) if we invest the million into a money market, how much would we earn?

In order to justify spending big bucks on upgrading the servers, ZoS has to be convinced that that will provide the greatest return.

I have personally told 2 friends not to bother taking the game up until we see what they do with the servers, they have watched the game, read about the game and like it, but because of the server issue's i couldnt let 2 friends waste money on it.

That's the knock on effect there shabby handling is having.

I returned recently for a month of ESO+ after taking a break from the game for about a year, mostly due to the EU PC server problems. I bought Summerset too, which I now regret because of how unplayable the game is. PC EU server performance is truly terrible right now and worse than the last time I subbed.

Huge loading times, zoning problems, disconnects, PvP lag, PVE input lag making boss encounters impossible and more besides. The game is unplayable. So after 1 month back I have cancelled again.

And no, it's not my connection or PC. I have no problems at all with any other MMOs or multiplayer games.

Obviously they need to upgrade the server infrastructure and this will help. But I feel the problem runs deeper, right to the game engine itself. ESO has suffered from performance problems ever since original launch. They just keep bolting on expansions without ever addressing this core issue.

Buy a dozen these: obvious server name is Vivec-PCEU, XBEY,PSEU...US, sota-USPS.

they set you back $1-300K
you will get to 224 cores however some 12TB ram, 450 treads. Hodor in an delve.
Now you could run an instanced DB behind one of these monsters.

Yes ESO might have vMA issues, places you can not put an group.

This is common on client, not so much on servers as you have to handle loads of players anyway
Make two dungeon servers during high load, it does not matter who you are in as long as group stay together.
