This game is unplayable

Aedrion

Ever since the mayhem event, Cyrodiil has gone back to being unplayably laggy. Same old, same old. Incredible.
It's remarkable how during an event that doubles the PvP activity, the game runs smoothly and PvP is enjoyable, and when it ends, it goes back to being complete garbage.

I highly suspect ZoS rents extra server capacity for these events and runs the extra campaigns on those.

So I don't know whatever their plans are for performance but if this next update fixes anything, I'll eat my socks.

I've been getting more infinite loading screens than I have ever in my three years of playing since about that time. It happens often with any transition though, not only pvp.

Alienoutlaw

its because during the event the player base is spread over several campaigns not bottle necked into a couple as is usual, so the server has an easier time.

The game was always unplayable, right from release.
I don't see the any difference, in terms of performance.

Well I've been playing 4 years xbox na and performance is definitely worse now.

My infinite loading screens pretty much went away after MYM ended. Before that, I was getting at least one per day.

Lessee.... have we had the performance update ? .... hmmmm... that would be .... No.

Should we Expect anything to have changed yet ? ..... again ..... No.

Is it asking too much to wait to complain about the performance issues until AFTER the performance update ?.....

apparently

so weird

Definitely gotten worse over time. Many people don’t realize there was way more players in pvp in multiple campaigns with a higher pop. Zos adjusted how many people can be in a campaign since then. There was times when it was 300+ people fighting over one keep. Times when a zerg stormed over you and you couldn’t make out a single name or rank, just a blob of people.

You shouldnt complain.
You are bringing negative vibes to the people that enjoy new mounts, skins, costumes, personalities, houses, decorations.
It's no wonder people see Cyrodiil as a place where angry negative pvpers, live only to grieve questers during events

Well, those that love all this, will sooner or later realise the negative criticism from the game because they will go beyond PvE questing to become a raider and finally a PvPer, then they would understand those words from great veterans that poured their soul to the game, only to leave a sour mouth for their departure.

PC NA here and I agree. Skills not going off, unable to bar swap, can’t use a slotted potion. It’s ridiculous. During mayhem event it was MUCH better.

Nemesis7884

the game is choking on its own success...how ironic

Same. At times it was bad during the old Azuras Star days but it is just terrible now. Can't get skills to work during small skirmishes and even experience lag in an empty keep. It's just awful.

Just spent 5 hours in total grinding a new character, no issues skill wise. some lag hitting towns (but im usually on my mount) and no issues with Ping or FPS. have not tried pvp though.

jircris11

can't edit for some reason. Spoke with some guildies who have been in pvp all day. they said it has been coming and going. also asked my raid guild and well they mentioned skill miss fires during busy sections (lots of mobs or spells at once)

Even on Last saturday at Like 1pm it was already exhausting to play cause you could feel the lag everywhere. Break free taking longer, pressing skills 2-3 times to finally cast. For example armor buff. I Press the skill, character starts the Animation but half way through stops and i didnt got the buff. I just logged off cause thats just not enjoyable.

Friday night was the worst so far for me. We Made a 6 man group and we were just laughing at each each other cause no one could break free and was falling back, stuck in enemy zerg. Even when He managed to break free He couldnt move or even think about using skills for the next 5 seconds. Dodge roll was literally a death sentence cause your skills were locked for many seconds after the roll. Characters were making some Strange Dance moves while they tried to cast a skill and the server just Said nope and they couldnt finish the cast. Using sieges just gave you eye pain cause it took 5 seconds AFTER pulling the trigger to finally shoot the balista. Nova took 1-8 seconds to land making it Impossible to time any ults or burst. The technical state of this game is a mess.

Nowhere near as bad. When I started I remember full all 3 faction keep fights in the no-CP campaign. There was lag in that situation, but probably the equivalent to 30 player per side brawls now.

If you even approach a keep with a lot of people you’ll crash now.

Performance has definitely dropped like a rock since I started.

I noticed the game get worse after the last Patch Maintenance, skills are super delayed or will not register. Lets hope this weeks Maintenance fixes the issues the last one caused.

So is it just Cyrodiil or the whole game? I don't do Cyrodiil and the rest of the game seems fine imo.

I've only noticed it in Cyrodiil since the Feb 5th patch.

$2,6+ Billion networth company can't get a pvp server run under 280 ping, after a pvp event.
Are you kidding me or deliberately stealing subscription fee?!

That's actually a tactic that applies to a lot of companies, in a lot of areas, not just software. In this case, you gradually make the game perform worse, and then your 'magic patch' comes and everything runs 'better' and the crowd will cheer.

PS4 EU:

Fixed the blue screens, introduced ever-present lag which causes ie:

- push puttons 3 times before it registers
- damage output is delayed by 2-3 seconds
- players die in 2-3s delay


And this lag is constant. Big zerg, tremendous lag. Empty keep, tremendous lag. Resource with NPCs, tremendous lag. Out in the middle of nowhere in Cyro, still laggy.
