There's a reason why they didn't show Cyrodiil by itself. Combining the data was a way of sweeping it under the rug.
I was responding to people who claim everyone has massive lag no matter where they are in the game. Seems like tho if everyone had 1000+ ms latency in cyrodill those numbers would be higher.
Well, 1000+ latency is a sign of straight up server failure. That's not going to be the average and if it were ZOS should really hire some new engineers. Below 100ms on the mainland US is acceptable and we have seen it in ESO in the past. I want to say that I had around 40-60 near launch.
Also, they didn't mention if they threw out the outliers in the data. It's common for metrics to be skewed to favor a point of view. Everything that Zenimax says and does is damage control from what I've seen. If they put as much effort into fixing the problems that occur rather than sweeping them under the rug or trying to bury them we wouldn't be in this predicament.
I believe the people who claim to have 999+ latency have bigger issues than anything ESO can fix.
999+ latency in Cyrodiil is server failure. Zenimax can most definitely find the source of the problem and communicate to the community what is happening. We are customers after all. Remember that.
This is not user error.
Sometimes I wonder about that.

Elaborate on what exactly? I just wonder if we can truly rule out user error on some of these issues. Especially when I see a lot of people saying that they have little to no issues at all. Including me.

I love all the over the top exaggerations and drama that people just love to bring to the forums- with these people everything is like 'the sky is falling' commentaries.
So ZOS has "promised" to fix problems for two years?!? MMO devs always work to fix problems, but since we are not privy to what is going on behind the scenes and most of us are not gaming programmers, we have absolutely no idea how complex or detailed these 'problems' entail especially with a game so massive as ESO. Also, let's be realistic, for the first few months after PC launch, ZOS was working on fixing problems with the game, after that they had to devote the majority of their developer's time working to completely redo the console version for launch. Since console launch last year, they've been working both on future content, balances AND fixes... but since ZOS doesn't have a massive development team anymore, miracles cannot happen overnight. So no, they haven't been working on fixes for two years, in fact, I'd wager they hadn't really even started until after console launch, which is when more devs were freed up to help in other areas. But let's further be realistic and say that 'promises' made when the game was launched should be balanced with the reality that sometimes what you WANT to do, does not turn out to be what you CAN do... and it wouldn't surprise me if either the game engine or developer talent don't have what it takes to turn those 'promises' into reality. Which is why players should either learn to be realistic or simply walk away, instead of expecting that ESO will become the game they were/are expecting. Accept it for what it is, feel free to mention game-breaking bugs, but stop complaining when your expectations don't match the reality of what the game can realistically offer.
Also, as far as many of the issues other players have been having... I have not had any problems with the game since TG launched and I play several times a week for at least eight to ten hours each day I play, but of course I only do PvE questing... which in that regard things have been just fine.
Maybe you just need to have a couple of beers to enjoy the game...

When the game launched I was frustrated because it would jump up to 100'ish. Now it's just infuriating to sit at a ping of 200-4k+. They should employ fewer community managers and moderators to hire a few good network engineers. The community managers have little to no contribution to making a good game. Is Gina awesome? Sure! But good engineers, writers, artists and designers with an ounce of vision are better which is exactly what this game needs.
I have nothing against anyone on the community staff in particular but if it were my decision and a choice had to be made I would definitely without a shadow of a doubt understaff a "community" team to hire engineers. Most games have non-paid moderators so they can focus resources on making the game better.

So you have zero issues in Cyrodiil and your ping sits at around 40-60ms?

Then we will see even more people complaining about a lack of answers from ZOS in forums.

40-60ms was what I had during launch. It's not crazy at all if there's a precedent.

They changed how the client works tho to combat cheating. Part of that took a lot of the load off the client and put it on the server side. Price you pay tho to combat cheating. I would bet if I had you play this game at 60ms and 100ms you couldnt tell me which was which without some kind of latency meter. The gameplay is exactly the same.

I'm curious about how much time you spend in Cyrodiil on average per week? What time of day do you play? What's your overall experience on a scale of 1-10? 1 being the worst and 10 being the best experience. While in Cyrodiil what sort of activities do you participate in?
Oh man, I just left Cyrodiil. It was unplayable. Was at Bleakers, nice battle between DC and EP. FPS 9 ping 700. The lag was so bad could not do anything. The audio completely went out and I am using the 32bit client. This is the worst I have ever seen Cyrodiil's game performance and it has become a common every day thing now. The 64bit client which is in beta was the same, with added crashing at random times. I think I will just give Cyrodiil and break and hopefully ZOS will wake up and realize that their lack of action has destroyed the selling point of ESO, which was PVP. Sad really sad.
I have played beta and early access it played better then 2 years ago than it does now, Zos we wouldn't post offensive stuff if you fix your game, this literally feels like a game that is in pre alpha

You're about to get railed on by players that solely PvE. You've been warned.For some reason they come into PvP or PvP performance focused threads to discuss how much they don't PvP.

The OP clearly stated some PvE stuff in their post too. I'm not railing anyone but I will state that there tends to be more crying on the PvP side and I think PvE players are getting a little annoyed of it. Just because the game seems "broken" to you doesn't mean its broken to everyone else.

I agree.The OP didnt state that the thread was PvP focused thread at all. Some PvPers seem to think that if the thread goes off into PvP land it then belongs to them and PvErs shouldnt be commenting in it.
