"SERVER OPTIMIZATION" ???!!!

IARTOI

Dear ZoS Devs.

I don't know where to start but I must say that like most of community I'm run out of patience. For 4 years since Morrowind Chapter Cyrodiil lag still persist. You did nothing about it. Just "BIG NOTHING". Every year we waited for fix it. We said servers are broken. You didn't listen. You said in 2020 plans server optimizations will be done. But I see nothing.

Read your own patch notes for Greymoor. Are you joking? You changed non-combat pet behaviors for fix the servers? How can it effect the cyrodiil where the non-combat pets not allowed. I can say that game is worse than pre-Greymoor. Its been 2 days but megaservers are still buggy. In pre-Greymoor times Cyrodiil was lagging at high-full population of alliances. But today its lagging at moderate population. Every DLC/Chapter you brought making game worse. But instead of fix it you are always focus on new contents and selling stuff on crown store. Cuz people buying it anyway why would you care. You are earning your money one way or another.

Before you remove my baiting/non-constructive comment please be sure it was read by relevant persons. I have nothing else to say.

The game is at a point where I personally cannot recommend this game to my friends anymore.
Which is very sad, because I regarded it as the best MMO on the market for a very long time.

That's how I feel for a loooooong time now.

Feels weird admitting it, but I almost cried yesterday requesting a refund for Greymoor.

It really is a shame, their story writing / content team is absolutely fantastic, whoever is in charge of server performance and/or decision making when it comes to host IP issues is really letting everyone down

I'm thinking server rebuild

The lag is super bad right now. I'll give it some more days to get the hamsters back from their trauma state, but my hopes aren't high.

While I wholeheartedly agree that the efforts Zos has put forth this past year as part of their "ESO's Performance Improvements Plan" are hart to notice as server performance in many areas of the game seem to have gotten worse, things like changing non-combat pet behavior can decrease server load and all of these change for performance are not isolated to just about Cyrodiil.

The player character loading process changes could benefit Cyrodiil if it concerns every time we load in, especially spawning/transiting to keeps. Granted, it will not end the serious lag we can get when half the campaign is at the same keep. There is not one thing that will be a magic bullet and solve all the problems. Hopefully, Zos can get serious about Cyrodiil, but it is clear that zone has been a challenge for them for years.

At this point we're simpy shouting into the void. I suspect ZOS view the forums as a tool to blunt player feedback and contain criticism of performance spilling over into the broader public arena.

On launch day Greymoor recieved "Mixed" reviews on Steam. If we desire to pressure ZOS to invest in fixing the performance of the game our efforts would be better invested writing honest reviews on Steam and Reddit than in here.

I was #4 on the EP leaderboard in PS4 Greyhost a week into the latest campaign and I really wanted to Emp on my single target non-pet Magsorc . But even though I had been told by the people above me they were going to drop after getting Emp, basically guaranteeing my turn at Emp as long as I kept at it I just couldn't take playing this broken POS anymore. Multiple load screens in the middle of every keep fight, Inevitable Detonation taking 5 seconds to cast, Mages Wrath not firing in execute range, taking damage to my health bar even though I just cast a shield, hitting areas that cause hard freezes when riding between keeps, skills just sometimes failing to cast for seconds at a time, certain abilities consistently causing dysnch so you suddenly drop dead from full health.
I was hoping to read some good news after the latest patch but it seems like a long break is in order. Shame, I just got an OLED and everything looks so amazing in game but messing with housing is about the only thing I enjoy that still works.
