Finding this vid in my subs is actually what prompted me to make this thread. Hope you can agree with Matt on how seamless transitions are!Matt Firor wrote:I’m also extremely happy with how our technology works behind the scenes. We don’t get to talk about that enough, but we seamlessly hide server transitions and instancing

✭✭✭✭If I could afford the performance loss to record pvp footage, I would have linked a video of me getting a loading screen just as my wrecking blow was about to connect mid-combat. "Seamless" oh ZOS...1 -

I got a loading screen far away from any repaired breach on the outer wall this afternoon halfway through a wrecking blow animation mid-fight. Random load screens during combat still happen, load screens from repairs still happen, super long load screens via transitus still happen.2 -

Imagine how much $ ZOS could make by selling ad space in their load screens.Are you guys getting load screens still? Since that fix they did I don't really have an issue with it anymore

✭✭✭Pretty sure hes talking about the different instances of the world on the megaserver. Everyone knows the travel between zones is not seamless.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭Seamless transition to a loading screen, then 3 minutes later a seamless transition to gameplay. This looks like 2 seamless transitions for the price of one!2 -

✭✭✭Interesting, Matt Firor's name has been moderated out of the thread title.Moderator edit - post edited to remove dev name from title
Edited by ZOS_MollyH on March 22, 2016 10:18AM
Dear ZOS_MollyH may I ask why Matt's name is taboo? I mentioned his name because I am specifically referencing a quote of a statement that he made. The quote is in the OP and the interview that quote is from is linked as well, there is no way you could have missed it. Am I to understand that the moderation is because you view the use of that quote as out of context? His own words were "seamlessly hide server transitions", as far as I can tell, going through a load screen from transiting in Cyrodiil constitutes a 'server transition'.3 -

✭✭How about the 3 load screens it takes to get from the wayshrine to the bank in Abah's Landing. One hits just before the gate, the 2nd about 20 feet after the city gate, and the third is about where you make the turn off to the Den from the main road."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."0 -

✭✭✭Again they arent talking about Cyrodill because there is no phasing in cyrodill. Also he isnt talking about when you travel from one zone to another. Cyrodill is unique as it doesnt have multiple layers. It just has one. So technically you are taking his quote of of context because he wasnt talking about cyrodill. Hes talking about the megaserver spawning instances when the original instance gets too full. obviously this isnt possible in cyrodill and part of the reason for the high latency during peak hours there.Edited by jamesharv2005ub17_ESO on March 22, 2016 8:42PM0 -

✭✭✭I never had a problem with load screens until the most recent DLC. Might not be DLC related maybe its just because I am grouping more.

Yeah is there a rule somewhere for the Devs that bugs should be fixed within a certain time of discovery? Or that tooltips should be edited to reflect what a skill actually does or doesn't do? Or are we the only ones that have to follow rules?1 -

Yes because fixing code is the same thing as writing a short paragraph describing the rules.0 -

That's exactly what he's saying, clearly they have too many forum mods and those resources should go to additional/more competent engineers.2 -

Im wondering if you understand that forum mods have far less of a salary than engineers. Most likely for every one engineer's salary they can hire 10 forum moderators. Also fixing problems isnt sometimes as easy as people think. Finding the problem is the easy part 99% of the time. Limited budgets mean things get prioritized.
In a world with unlimited budgets you might be right. That isnt reality tho. The only unrestrained spending is at the government level.0 -

Noone says they have an indie type budget. Its not an unlimited budget tho.0
