Its Friday night Q's

Durham

We are seeing Q times approaching 1hr during primetime this is now on the weekends. This is even on Black Reach. I'm not sure what greyhost is. Last week I waited almost 45 minutes to get into Cyrodil crashed kicked out of Cyrodil had to restart the Q I just logged.

Suggestion: Weekend-only server that opens from 6 pm EST to 11 pm EST. This would alleviate the crunch to get into Cyrodil.

1hr 15 mins from 8pm to 9:15pm currently

Super weird there is suddenly a 1 hour queue every weekend now, when in the 12+ months prior to the population cap testing the queues were typically half of that at the same time. Seems to me like the population caps got further reduced after their "testing" concluded.

i only remember getting a queue during Mayhem

There is another Q tonight around 1 hour.

Ive noticed population in weekend battlegrounds has dropped of considerably the past few weeks (xbox na)

this being chaosball weekend could be a factor (hello permablock tanks 🫵🏻)

GH had a 2 hour queue for AD on Saturday, somewhat less on other factions

I'm not sure about why the other alliance's could have long queues, but on DC side Gray Host, it could partly be because the outfit station at the DC base has such nice lighting. It's just chill to relax and work on dyes during primetime while zone chat talks about how the campaign is going.

I suspect that at least a few of the old Cyrodiil players who'd stopped playing ESO came back when the cap was raised, and decided to keep coming back from time to time even after the cap was lowered again. I say that because I occasionally see them streaming ESO again.

They recently lowered the pop cap to 60 players/faction. That's why the queue times are so crazy now.

60?! I knew the cap was lowered but I wasn't sure to what...that's extremely low.

The queue time is why I can't even play pvp on the weekends. It is way too long.

You know there's an Alliance War and Campaign Category to post in.

seems about the same to me as before the population cap test

if i didnt get into cyro before like 7-8pm eastern (blackreach) it would spike up a massive queue (i only play AD)

as far as i can tell between queue time and map activity, it feels to be about the same pop cap as before the test

they still need to increase the pop caps overall though, as even with poplock it sometimes feels like there is no action happening on the map at times
