Update 24 Guild History Performance Fixes?

silvereyes

@ZOS_PhilipDraven / @ZOS_GinaBruno,

Is any further work being done on the guild history system to allow it to handle more load? I was pretty disappointed to see not even a mention of any performance improvements for the guild history system in the PTS patch notes, today. Also, is any work being done to allow trade addons like Master Merchant and ATT to get a full sales history faster?

Trading used to be one of my favorite activities in the game before all the performance problems and addon API nerfs this year. Now, it's so bad, I can't even find the motivation to log in for daily rewards.

Edit: removed comment about TTC

TTC doesn't actually access the guild history in the same way as MM and ATT do. Otherwise, I'm with everything you said here.

ZOS keeps giving us BS excuses for why Guild History is causing issues... it is their own fault for why the game runs as inefficiently as it does and they are simply not willing to do what is necessary to fix it. ZOS does not care about us. They do not care what we think... I [heard] that an offer was made to fix guild history for them with no added stress on their servers and they shot it down. ZOS has no interest in anything but making money, plain and simple.

The base code needs to be rewritten to work with all the systems they have added to it the last 5yrs and they just aren't willing to do it. ZOS will probably give the excuse that it will mean down-time for the game.. which it will. But imho, they don't want to pay to have it done and the down time is going to cost them money. It is a double edged sword for them... so we [the people who are keeping them in business] have to suffer. All you have to do is compare how much they are putting into the Crown Store vs How much they are putting into fixing the game... to see that $$$ is all that matters.

Based on chats with @ZOS_ChipHilseberg in ESO addon devs chat, I do know that the systems team has been doing some work on the guild history, which is why I was surprised there was no mention of it in the PTS patch notes. I imagine that the same people coding the group finder revamp are also the ones tasked with guild history, so it makes sense for them to be delayed. I just wish we could get some sort of an update, since it's been such a visible problem during Scalebreaker.

I also wonder if some key team members have been pulled off onto ZOS' mysterious next project. It wouldn't surprise me.
