(PS5) - NA - 3 bars red, 1 blue, 1 yellow in Cyrodiil on a Saturday mid-afternoon: What's going on?

Deedleqwerty

This the main campaign - Gray Host. Why so dead on a Saturday? It's 3:30 p.m. EST, and there's no one in Cyrodiil. Well, no blues or yellows. But even the three bars of reds aren't doing anything. What's happening?

Sluggy

It's a combination of factors probably. New games are coming out and people are trying them. The pop caps are also absurdly low both for how Cyrodiil was designed and how many people are required to kill your average shield/healing enjoyer. There was a massive storm system rolling through most of the East Coast of the U.S. that has caused a lot of flooding. And for those of us not affected by the flooding, well, the weather is pretty good where I'm at right now. I'd rather enjoy some time outside while I can.

Aurielle

There’s a new crossplay PVP MMO out — they’re probably playing that instead of ESO.

I came on about two hours later and red had completely taken over all the keeps.

It was a busy day trying to get our home keeps back and our scrolls.

Yeah this is why no one has played Blackreach on PS NA in a long time, except for weekends.

EDIT: clarification

Server performance has been getting worse and worse all year long. Considering there is a near 6 month old thread, with 65+ pages, and thus far we have got the usual "looking into it" response followed by a "some things are out of our control"...

Most of us are giving up on this game at this point. When ZoS decides to prioritize server performance over crown related items then I'll come back.

Just look how quick they address ANYTHING that comes up related to crowns. It will be fixed before the next maintenance.
