All Australian Unchained

tourerttrwb17_ESO

Well done to @Foxy-Russo, @yyoo @MakoFore and me! for finally getting unchained - which in itself maybe not so remarkable- but having to do it on these bloody servers from Australia- with 4 aussies- was rough. thru the disconnects, the oceanic lag, the ping spikes and all the typical zos bugs- it is possible. if anyone else has done it- kudos to you.
and zos- please fix ur game.

Gz! Sexiest title in-game if you ask me.

Did disconnects mean you had to restart? I myself run the game with atrocious performance. To complete vBRP I have to restart my game after each arena (I drop to 0 frames and 999+ latency very fast, which means the group goes 1 player short but also has to keep me alive somehow). We've never been sure if me fixing my game would ruin the achievements for the run; if it doesn't, I may have some hope yet. :d

it was soo tough cos of lag and disconnects. yeah we had to reset after every disconnect- or lag out- which always would cause a death. majority of our runs were spoilt by somoene having lag difficulties- and then there were the bugs itself- the arena has so many memory leaks and issues that make it so much harder....
we learned to reload ui after every attempt, restart game after every 3 or so, and comptuer itself after every 5. took ages. but well worth it in the end.
good luck to you!

the spikes are the tough part- we literally couldnt run during peak hours- during hte last IC event and maelstrom event, was especially hard. so had to co-ordinate certain times we could run, etc.

id recommend exitlag - that helped tremendously with stabilising our pings. still spikes-= but much less.

Congrats! You guys are troopers for soldiering through the terrible performance issues and aussie internet

Yeah I know the struggle. First time I cleared it was when the telegraphing bug was at it's peak, so we'd just randomly die to invisible AOEs. xD But yeah, the place is a mess.
That said, did you have to restart because the DCs caused a death, or because the DC itself ruins the achievement? I know for sure my PC can't handle a full run without restarting the game.

Exitlag sounds interesting, but generally running more programs is just harder on my PC. :x

MakoFore

both- dc's would almost always cause a death- even if the person didnt die- theyd still penalise it as a death.
and even if it didnt cause a death- it would have likely ruined the time . even though we could have done it comfortably under 34 mins at our peak- we decided to jus play it safe srtat wise (eg not burning every boss) to make the achieve. so a disconnect would have spoilt that.
just as often as the disconnects were the pauses- where everything pauses- then catches up again in super speed. we developed a strategy for when that happened- to just stack and stack vigors to try and heal the person thru it until the "caught up"

cnt recommend exit lag enough- if u have 330 ping like me- it ll bring it to 280 . some have gotten 230!. it s not much load process wise on ur computer and is free to try.

I see, thank you for answering. Me restarting definitely wouldn't cause a death as I would do it between arenas, but the time it takes would obviously be a concern. Would consider having the group start the next arena without me, but obviously missing a person would make it a rough start. But yeah if the game still penalized it as death, the whole thing is moot anyway. xD

I may give the free try a shot, but do far there hasn't been anything (outside of GPU-Z) I can run while playing ESO. But we shall see! I can definitely handle 5 frames + 500 latency; below that is where it starts getting rough.

^ in the video u can see how much we had to suffer- the last round our healer was playing a powerpoint presentation...sigh. but we got there- all the more sweeter.

Well done! I've played with high ping and I can tell how much harder it makes things. It is double achievement!

Nice

Mr_Walker

As a fellow suffering Aussie, I congratulate you, not only on your achievement, but even moreso for your patience.
