Just lost Faregyl because excessive lag - Fix it

Malveria · October 2014

Faregyl had the potential for an AMAZING fight. Three way fight, EP on one side, DC on the other side. It could have been great.

Instead, the so-called 'megasever' can't handle the numbers that were on it. Faregyl flipped because people couldn't damage one another, couldn't heal friendlies, couldn't put down siege, couldn't do anything. I don't care that we lost Fare. I care HOW we lost it.

Stop feeding us shiny PVE things when your endgame, PVP, is impossible to play on large scale.

Just quit myself. It was like some bad chopped up Kung Fu movie.

Wasn't the lighting lovely though?

Attack with lots of players, server lags out, defenders can't defend... repeat... sigh

It's time for ZOS to get off of their rears and actually look up the word "mega" in the dictionary... they clearly have no clue what it means.

Did the lag bomb work against AD this time?

If your not lag bombing you not pvping.

The hilarious part is.. EP and DC has some massive fights going on with zero lag today...soon as the zerg balls appear...The lag on the server just went crazy...

AoE caps being removed can't come fast enough..

This.

I'm on the EU and I've seen many large scale fights, both at and around keeps, and on open fields even (which is a rare sight nowadays). But as zoon as the zergballs start appearing, it's the end. No more fun, no more tactics, no more skill... just a battle between mongs and those that can spam their skills the quickest. It's an absolute joke and I can't wait until the AoE caps get removed, then these type of players will have to re-learn the game.

This is going to go down in history, ten years from now people will have lag in a new mmo and be like it's not half as bad as the old days of ESO.

My favorite part was that each of the first five times I attempted to drop the ram on the door of Faregyl, it went in sideways and would refuse to do damage. I had to drop it 20 feet away and walk it forward for the the ram to do anything.

If the ram hadn't of worked, we were going to give up and walk away from Faregyl because the lag had been saving the defenders up until then.

We'd drop siege on the walls and no one could interact with the ballistas or trebs and they would decay completely while the AD repaired the walls.

But the ram, after a few tries, finally slotted in correctly and started knocking down the door. A couple ballistas finally worked. The outer went down and we walked everyone, together, to the inner door and that same ram survived until the inner was down.

After that, the flags got zergballed.

The lag didn't save the defenders. We had a great defense set up. The server lag hurt everyone.

You were getting sieged from both sides by both factions, blue at one point was pouring into your courtyard, and then magically you were able to repair both walls and no one could tag them for some reason.

Great defense, there.

If blue and red would have got their side down at the same time then yes we would have been screwed but blue would get wiped just before red side was down then red wiped. Wash rinse repeat. Could have been an epic battle if not for the server lag. =(

The sides didn't come down at the same time due to the lag eating our siege.

At one point we had a mid wall section down, then declared we needed to bring the whole curtain wall down, and our siege promptly all failed and the midwall got repaired.

For once the lag worked in our favor. Usually it doesn't. It sucks for both sides.

We lost Arrius on 9/23 when half our faction couldn't stay online and we lagged so bad we couldn't place oil and watched as the flags flipped without us being able to damage people in the AOEs.

It hurts everyone.
