    A bit off-topic. Was anyone able to get a BG tonight on the PC-EU Server? I usually run 1-2 a day just to keep myself in shape, and normally it takes 10-15 minutes to get one but today I was queued for a total of 2.5 hours, in chunks of about 30 minutes and I wasn't able to get any pop. I had no trouble on NA.

    Off topic: A useless fact posting to recognize this topic is almost a year old being started in October 2019 but is still a VERY relevant and active topic.

    120 pages and counting...

    PCNA probably isn't far behind in this respect anymore imho. Funny thing is this is probably the biggest culmination of factual information regarding said topic, and one of the biggest topics ever on these forums. I always see it pop up to the top of the front page at least 2-3 times a month.

    ZOS clearly decided to force player to go test Cyro and do not have relax in BGs....

    Think it's the activity finder as a whole that's bugging. Dungeon Finder have been a mess all evening too.

    This just looks like an organized assault on a keep, there's one way to beat this, organize a counter assault

    Still the same old misery. 10 minutes loading screens!

    * Return to the harborage. 10 minutes loading screen to travel to Stonefalls.
    * Enter the harborage. 10 minutes loading screen to go through the door.
    * Listen to the old fool babbling. 10 minutes loading screen to exit said door.

    I give up.

    It's so weird, I can't log out from the character I'm on. I think I'll have to force shut and play on NA.

    ETA - Quitting worked, so I guess it's just the character-select screen that can't be reached.

    Did they implement yet another performance patch? or maybe their contract for additional server space has ended. We cant start a raid for 40 min already, people cant port into an instance

    Maybe ZOS actually start upgrading your out of date server hardware?

    Oh.. I forgot that would cost real money and you just cant do that since it would be an actual investment.

    And some people still believe the melting servers are a result of a problematic engine...

    It's the HARDWARE, guys. It can't handle load and high player activity.

    some of those some people are analyst and know what they are talking about. Something that cant be scalable with hardware (which is the cheapest solution) is a hardware issue. All symptomps are a concurrency problem, and you cant go much further with more hardware... maybe a little with better one, but even with that, performance increase is going to be poor. The game need better analysts, from the first day, but that is difficult, long and expensive to fix nowadays.

    Yes, you can go a lot further with hardware. Proof is the MYM event. With 100% player activity 24/7, Cyro was working like a charm because ZOS probably rent extra server capacity or sth.
