People are leaving because the PVP is broken and your solution is to have even less people play........

bertenburnyb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭this is the most stupid solution to lagg I've ever heard.
they advertise it as lagg free big scale open world pvp, but they screwed up their own game so much, and the only way they can fix it is bij reducing players, well I would think the lagg would dissapear if it were like 10people per side on a map, but then again... big scale...

But that just sounds like a "temporary tax". They will reduce the population cap, it will temporarily "fix" the lag issue, and then.... that's it. It will stay that way because that is easier.5 -

Yeah, they should have just let us lag out through December until a potential fix comes in January as they stated.
I've been just as pissed as any about the quality of PVP but lets just see if this makes us enjoy Cyrodiil WHILE they continue working on the actual cause. May not be a bad thing to help kick up the pop in some of the other campaigns either.0 -

Agreed, if they are going to have lower population caps, then they need to open up more campaigns, and maybe battleground style mini PVP as well.

Lag was not an issue last night since this fix. Im not sure why everyone is so upset. Just wait in que or go to another server. Zeni is trying to alleviate the problem and this is the best they can do right now.Vr14 Templar since release- dual resto

Until the threshold was nerfed again yesterday, I haven't had a queue for AD thornblade during primetime for this campaign or the last, that is due in part to people quitting, I'm sure some switched campaigns too. That's NA Thornblade.0 -

I really doubt it will make much of a difference, if 2 enemy raids (24 vs 24) meet, and play the organized stack-&-spam way, whole server will lagg, its not like all people have to be at one spot before the server starts lagging, it happens way sooner than that, thats why I said if they would reduce the number to 10 per side maybe it would helpHaze Ramoran Dunmer Dragonknight Tank/Dps – Smoked-Da-Herb Saxheel Templar Tank/Healer

if you think its normal for a game we paid box price + 8x15 monthly subscription, to not be able to do anything when more than 30 people are at the same place... ok then
we are customers and expect a service of zos wich we pay monthly for, and they're not delivering

The PVP population has DRASTICALLY dropped off and that's happened rapidly over the last month, you're the one who's wrong here. EU side we can barely fill a single shard now.
To address the main point, this really would have been a good idea a few months ago, I vaguely remember making a post about it, but right now I dunno. Not many of us to go around right now.AlexDougherty wrote: »

The new Hutball map is great and is frankly a big change on the same old, kill everything while an unkillable tank and guarder healer stand at a single objective point.Jacques Berge wrote: »Ahhhhhhh yeah!!!

I know right, because everyone should just shut up right, I mean who cares if people have paid money for a game that becomes unplayable during prime time and ZOS made claims that it could never happen in their game because their game wouldn't lag.
I mean, they are well qualified game designers right, people should just shut up and give them money.Edited by CapuchinSeven on December 11, 2014 11:01AM1 -

Oh really? They don't constantly update the game? Add new content at kind of a breakneck pace compared to other games. You, know, they also didn't invite 20 or so of the most influential players to have a little pow-wow on how to improve the game... Man it would be cool if they did that. Gosh, to think, with all the moving parts, I must have been hallucinating all those times when I partook in Zerg v zerg combat and the game didn't crash. lol yeah, definitly didn't happen ever. Jeez... An man... To think we have to wait until NEXT year for the champion system.. 1 whole year!?!? Are you serious!?!? Yeah... A gosh, I hate it when ever pvp is smooth, cause there's definitely not a plethora of other content to explore. I wish we had a way to play with out friends in some sort of... Ugh, can't think of the word... Some sort of trying, dungeon like area we could test our skills and team work in a variety of situations, yeah, that would be awesome if this game has that. And it really sucks that you can only have one character too, sometimes I'd just like to start over but play a different style character. It breaks my heart that you can't do that in this game... Well, I have to start wrapping stuff up at work... So sarcastic rant over. Also, I need like 2 awesomes so if I could get those that would be great."Shadow hide you"

Ugh I stopped right there.
ZOS made claims their PVP game wouldn't lag, they said their game couldn't lag, it didn't need EU servers and lag wouldn't be an issue because of how they built the game.
Peak time, game lags so bad most nights over the last 3 weeks I've just logged off and questioned why I'm paying them money. It shouldn't be taking 20 seconds for a skill to fire.
People like you are the reason publishing houses think they can get away with pushing out patches and games before they are ready, they just simply know people like you will keep lapping it up.
ZOS said the PVP game wouldn't lag. It lags. It's as simple as that, EVERYthing else you've said is is totally unrelated.Edited by CapuchinSeven on December 11, 2014 1:39PM4 -

Are you telling everyone who is not competent to do a better job to stop whining? Seriously?
Customers are paying professionals to do their job, and quite frankly, the developers are failing miserably at the moment. "Less than a year in" is way past the grace period where a game is given some leeway, and to add insult to injury, some of the problems are now getting worse instead of better.
If a restaurant serves you a burnt, inedible crisp instead of the delicious meal you ordered and paid for, does your party tell you that because you can't cook, you should shut up and eat what was served? Or do you just get up and leave? Or, perhaps, I don't know, maybe you call the waiter and complain, so they can at least try to do a better job and perhaps keep you as a customer? And if their response is "We have only been in business for eight months, just give us some time", what would your reaction be?
Now let's imagine the food wasn't completely inedible, just disappointing, so you decide to give them time to improve. You visit the same restaurant every day for a month because you would really like to try the delicious meals they promise on the menu, but every time they manage to mess something up, making you leave disappointed instead of happy. For how long would you keep eating at that place based on their promises alone if they kept failing to deliver?
Eight months is a long time to keep failing. It's not "only eight months after launch", it's eight months past the heavily hyped-up launch of a product where paying customers are expecting a service they are not getting.

Awesome. This game was developed(hackened together) by a few hasbeens and a bunch of interns and it shows. Archaic designs bolted onto an sub standard game engine. About the only teams that did any good in developing this game were the world builders and the writers. Pvp is a mess they know they can't fix.1
