Greymoor Performance Fixes Failed

Another update, another check off the performance roadmap update, another failed attempt at improving performance. So where are we at? Is it time to be honest with the community and say you cant fix it and its a housing simulator now?

Honestly, real talk. The lifespan of this game is in sight if you cannot get game performance fixed. How can it keep coming to this, internally do you not agree this should be priority number 1 for your jobs?

    They don’t know how to improve performance, this much is abundantly clear. They have a talent for providing the player base with just enough hope to cling to in order to stay subscribed, but ultimately we may never see improvement in the games performance.

    In the mean time go check out the Crown store, lots of stuff to spend money on.

    I think it's pretty unfair to call it a housing simulator considering most of PVE works without any issues, it's the PVP performance that's the issue.

    I am wondering how non-combat pets will actually affect the abyssmal performance in Cyrodiil when there are no non-combat pets around there anyway. It's good that they can improve on things, but is this really the most pressing issue?
    Or is this simply the easiest to fix?
    Or does the Cyrodiil server shard have an easier time when the Belkarth shard is not busy with all those non-combat pets?
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    Pve without issues? Lmao
    Maybe when just questing, farming or playing house. Competitive endgame has alot of issues. Lag in trials and dungeons, bugs, skills delayed or simply not fireing at all, stuck in combat, loadscreens etc.

    They’re catering to the causal players now. ZOS has our money, so it is what it is....

    Why so?
    Is it because of the PTS?
    Maybe the PTS and Live one are not running on the same hardware.
    Dunno...

    Typically a test server tries to mimic that of the live server so you know what to expect performance wise.

    Did people actually think something was going to improve? ZOS is all talk.

    Yep, every year they have a great road map and this is the year they're finally gonna get that performance nailed down.

    It's the same song and dance we've heard a million times before and they somehow manage to keep making things worse.

    Loading into the PTS the second they patch with everyone bombarding the servers isn't a good judge of what's being changed.

    Its just tired. I do speak with my money. As do a lot of people. This game struggles with numbers despite having infinite potential. Literally the developers should have one priority and that's performance. I don't think that is a subjective statement, literally the game depends on its ability to function, all things stem from it. Its actually insane how they manage to make it worse and can't at the least ameliorate whatever it is they did to make it worse from patch to patch.

    I get that its a coding thing from the original trash code but if you manage to make it worse every patch, I know you can tune it back.

    To be fair, the only good thing in the new patch I've seen so far is the housing improvements ( and also housing: the new furniture is nice as well).

    End game pve is riddled with lag, desyncs and bugs. All since they started "fixing" performance

    Not today.

    Not for me.

    I've had the last 20 - 30 min of lag, death, bumped from server.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Just to be fair here there are many times where patches go on servers expected to be perfect and they break it, and in other times it's the reverse. You will not know what will happen until its on live servers.

    So throwing a fail on ZoS Is... Premature.
