This is getting old, really. I'm tired of 250+ ping in open world each time some stupid event hits live.
Meanwhile in that old ass game called world of warcraft I have 32 ping. How is this even...FFS ZOS.

You think that’s to do with the events?
Some people log in for the events because they missed what the event could give last year. You think what you do in the game is more important?4 -

Malkiv✭✭✭✭✭I get the frustration, but the events are already made with new item links plugged into the existing resources.
Just have to close notepad. Save file as jestersfestival.evt.txt. Oops, lets remove that extension. Need to get it to the server. "Your network adapter is not working properly. You may need to set it up again." No time to waste. File Manager should work. No aol trial disks left. Got one in my jnco. My entire midi library is on it. That's fine. I've backed up to my tape drive. Format disk. "Cannot delete. Access is denied." Damnit. I flip the write protection. No time for full format. Quick will have to do. Success. Move jester~1.evt to A:\. Eject the disk. I sprint to the stair well. It's cold in here. I hand it off. Becky nods approvingly. File moved. Jester's Festival goes live. Mission accomplished, lads.Edited by Malkiv on March 30, 2020 6:09AMPC-NA | PvP (Gray Host & BGs) | PvE (vTrials & vDGs)1 -
Neophyte✭✭✭The obviously make these events for marketing. When one knows they can get double xp to level a new character the chances are they might spend money in the crown store. It’s never going to end. After this festival is over a short break of normality then boom another DLC or event1 -

TimeViewer✭✭✭✭Dear Business, please stop making the money that pays for servers, licences, employees, you know, everything that keeps us playing.
really???
that's pretty much what all these boil down to, you want them to stop adding content, stop adding events, which, you know really don't add to people coming in because we'd have the same people doing other things if there was no event...
servers are overloaded because people aren't in school or at work, instead they, like me, are at home playing longer hours
sure the game has issues, and they need to be addressed, but your "solution" isn't a solution, maybe, instead, they should turn to the community that has, for all these years, kept Bethesda's games running, the modders who made all the unofficial patches. bitter pill to swallow sure but maybe they'll have a few ideas outside your box ZoS.
as to others, please stop comparing this game to WoW, that's like comparing a fine meal to dumpster diving

I rather like the events, so I'm happy that it's not really a choice between the two. But I will say that after choosing MMOs for decades, I've yet to find one where the development team really gets the concept of making meaningful logistical improvements as a way to generate and maintain interest in the game.
Reading that a nagging, annoying, long term problem has been fixed generates real excitement for me. I'm sure this is the same for a lot of players as evidenced by the abundance of "please fix this" comments in the forums of virtually all MMOs. Most times I'm more interested in discovering that a nagging, age-old issue has finally been fixed than I am in trifling new content.0 -

Just because you are not experiencing issues (maybe you closer to a server, maybe you have a good provider, maybe your country is more developed), does not mean that everyone else is as fortunate.

Yeah, that surprised me too - some loading screens are much longer but otherwise it runs fine in pve regions.
And just to counter the distance argument - the server is 16,700km away from where I am.Edited by Lysette on March 30, 2020 9:51AM0 -

✭✭✭✭I have ping as low as 65 ms when the server load is low, but latency increases a lot when it's high, or you get complete failure to connect & packet loss - you see characters and NPCs jumping from place to place, rollbacks, and finally disconnect; 2 years ago the EU-PC server keeled over during the Anniversary Event. But there are plenty of days when there's no event on and the ping is terrible. Several days ago, before the event started, I think it was Wednesday, I was sitting in Craglorn, far from any town, my ping was 400+ ms. I logged in on NA, and it was 180-200 ms. That's odd, considering I'm connecting from Eastern Europe and NA-PC is 5x farther. The ping towards some other sites in Germany and was fine, so the bottleneck is either at ZOS server, or right next to it, in the routers.Beta tester since February 2014, played ESO-TU October 2015 - August 2022, currently on an extended break

There is also 0 people in the world in WoW because there is literally nothing to do outside of instances. But join a pvp raid and see how its just as bad as cyrodiil.
Well I get 120+ ping in both ESO and GW2 for no fault of my own, I know GW2 swapped to amazons garbage servers on the east coast (I'm on west......) but no idea about ESO.Edited by Rukia541 on March 30, 2020 10:53AM0 -

Actually, I think that if people stick to just doing the event, they won't have any real problems, at all.
Is stopping events better for the greater good? Not something that we can really judge from our sheltered lives here in the forum.Well I get 120+ ping in both ESO and GW2 for no fault of my own, I know GW2 swapped to amazons garbage servers on the east coast (I'm on west......) but no idea about ESO.
NA ESO runs on raised floor dedicated hardware from a data center in Texas. My theory is that this is a leased location that is owned and operated by one of the major top tier ISPsEdited by Elsonso on March 30, 2020 11:25AM0 -

I saw 220 latency in craglorn. normally hover 80-100. But I do know it is due to my ISP being hammer from all the people not working since our state has more people at home and working from home. So I can only imagine people in more populated areas seeing higher latency.0
