Thornblade ridiculous queue times and ludicrous lag....the rest of the campaigns? No lag and no queues..... Hey lets get on the forum and whine about lag and queue times....
Logic...where'd it go?
I fled to Azura Star to avoid the lag and the crashing. Guess what, it made no difference what so ever. Had the same frozen screens, weapons not swapping and multiple crashes.
It seems my bad performance cant be avoided, regardless of campaign or population. It's pretty frustrating. But you're totally right about the queue times of course. That's not even a problem, it's players actively deciding to queue for a campaign with locked bars.
Just reroll. If you're a true pvp fan. Convince your friends to reroll with you for the health of pvp in this game.
The longest queue I had yesterday was 11. I tried to run to a crafting station, but the queue popped before I was halfway there.

The queue for the ONE (repeat: ONE AND ONLY USED) PvP Campaign (US, Thornblade) is over 100 people EVERY NIGHT. This amounts to SEVERAL HOURS of wait time.
If anything needs a hotfix for ESO, its this.
What are you doing about this critical failure of the game?
Ok, stop me if you've heard this one before --
Until you reroll into another faction (EP or DC), then you can suffer.
Stop your ridiculous faction stacking and maybe you'll get to pvp in a timely fashion!
It's good for you, and it's good for the health of the game!

If they all want to suffer let them suffer. I just wish a forum badmin would just close these threads as they pop up and paste one of their generic messages about how we have other servers available for you to use besides thornblade.
It amazes me how terabad AD has become with complaining. Have they not yet wondered why no other faction has this issue? Even with these wait times they still got rofl stomped yesterday.

It doesn't matter how many times we point it out, typically.
Instead we get prevarications, excuses, and even accusations.
The continued stacking of AD makes the game worse for everyone. That AD has, easily, the population of EP and DC combined is one of the things that prevents this game's PVP from being healthy.
Auriel's Bow 1.0 is an excellent example of what happens when what population imbalance is maintained for too long. That campaign died after DC/EP realized that it wasn't possible to win, and it is a microcosm of the overall PVP population imbalance. There's no reason to play if you can't win due to situations outside your control.
Once the populations are balanced -- if they ever are -- then we're at least all equal partners in the lag, the crashes, the bugs, etc. We're all on the same footing.

My problem isn't with the overpopulation we have to fight against. Like 2bar vs poplock.
My problem is, even after fighting all day until the drudges of the early morning making good progress. AD will remain poplocked. Throughout the night, recapping everything vs two one bar populations (those one bars being legit maybe 10 people).
I don't blame people for wanting to play. But there needs to be some balance throughout the day, otherwise it makes the alliance war effort pretty futile.

Come to Chillrend! As soon as you poke anything blue, DC magically shows up!

Imagine the fun if AD didn't get 160 queue and sent them to chillrend.

WHAT? "guarantee"? do you ever guest chillrend? no pvp there, just pve.
If you are AD like the OP, capture some keeps on Chillrend. The PVP should magically appear shortly thereafter.
The funny thing is that you guys really bealive AD is over poppulated..
We have only 2 pvp guilds left. Active.
How many you have?
You call us mass zergers but the greatest zerg ive ever sawn is red and i could not bealive my eyes. Really and as honestly as i can be. Blues are kind of in same numbers as AD is sometimes they have huge zergs as well but not often..
It makes no sence.. It really does not unless if you are reffering to AD in the NA server..
If you dont bealive that i dont think you are going to... I can give you some screenshots when and if i remember that.

You need to play the other factions to realize that DC and EP do not have queue list anywhere close to 150+ or even in the 100 range. The largest queue I have seen for DC was somewhere around 30. Even when you look at the campaign populations you can see the difference, unless some massive change has occurred in the last couple weeks since I have taken time off.
If AD players are complaining about wait times, then they should seriously think about changing factions. At the rate Zenimax makes positive changes, it could be a long time before we see a paid or unpaid character transfer service.
Apparently making it much much easier to grind vet levels w/ 1.5 too, like 1.5 mil a lvl or somethin...tht's nothin no excuses ADAgrippa_Invisus wrote: »The funny thing is that you guys really bealive AD is over poppulated..

Very much this.
Even if ZOS is going to implement faction change features, by the time it happens, AD players could have already rerolled, gotten to VR14, and geared themselves up and be playing without wait times.
All this while making the game healthier and the populations more equal. A win for everyone involved.
Don't rely on ZOS, folks. I know that they should be responsible for the fix. I know they should take steps on their own to help adjust the population.
But the simple fact is they haven't, and while it shouldn't be behooven on the player base to correct it, we're the only ones who can due to the fact that ZOS is dragging their feet on this.
Until ZOS implements population control mechanics, the players are the only ones who can fix it.
Is it right? No. Is it reality? Yes.

I did commented this before in the forum i dont want my alliance to have more than urs neither urs having more than mine.
