Server upgrades?

eyesreye

I was just on Bislobo's stream and he said that Zeni is upgrading the servers according to a employee.

Can anyone confirm this?

They mentioned this during the chapter reveal, but said that it wouldn't likely be anything that would affect performance.

That could mean so many things. Just updating OS versions for security reasons could qualify.

LightYagami

Did they say the upgrade is focusing on PvP servers?

UntouchableHunter

Did they say when?

SAY YES TO SERVER HARDWARE UPGRADE !

They didn't set a date they just said they were upgrading this year as they hadn't been upgraded since 2014. They did warn that they didn't expect it to improve performance, but may help during an influx of new players. Such as those they gained during covid's initial outbreak.

Alliance locked , reduce the number of group member , disable out group healing , skills and timer standardize , blah blah blah

No doubt ZOS won't upgrade server .

People need to understand difference between data sarver upgrade and megaserver upgrade. They will do data server upgrade. It will not reduce lag. We would need megaserver upgrade for that, but nah lets rolk 7 years old servers. And lag wilk keep getting worse

They never stipulated which they were updating. In fact arguably they hinted as though they were updating it all. Megaserver is just the name for the technology of linking multiple servers together as eso does. They didn't expect it to have a noticeable difference to performance. Presumably as it isn't a server or its processing power that causes performance issues.

Firstly there is a massive bottleneck where data is received by a data verification company to ensure messages are genuine and aren't persons cheating. Secondly the server just does too much. Many calculations including player position used to be tracked and equated by the client. Now the server has to do everything..

They said on stream they will upgrade data servers - cold storage.
So it may increase overall log in time, but as no calculations etc. Will happen on these servers, no performance increase.

Just how i know performance improvements would be a disappointment last year i know that ill be the same thing his year. There’s a reason why they didnt straight out said that they will improve servers to fix the performance.

ZoS January 2021:These year its all about performance
Also ZoS: we will upgrade servers, it will not improve performance

I don't remember them saying "data storage servers" I remember them saying "servers". @ZOS_GinaBruno I appreciate you guys don't normally comment on these things, but could you clarify?

Karivaa

Did they spend all year on performance fixes?

If we live long enough, tech will catch up with gaming and we'll all look back and say "remember Lag?" And laugh hardly.

Plus with all of the issues with supply being as bad as it is with finding new hardware I wouldn't hold my breath.
