Can someone explain why they can't make 100v100v100 happen again?

It's not that they can't. It's that they won't. The netcode is drastically different now. ZOS has no interest in repairing the damage they did to PvP by reverting the game back 2 years worth of bad patches. Their business model relies on PvE, selling XP, and crown store cosmetic items.

I'm having a hard time trying to figure out why they would mess up the massive pvp battles the game used to have. Why would they hurt their own product?

When the game was released, it was infested with bots. Bots everywhere. Wherever you went, there was a bot farming a delve boss or farming flowers. They forgot to add anti bot measures into. So they did it a few months or so after release. They moved more things to server side instead of client side. It worked with the bots, they were never seen again. But Cyrodiil with its large amounts of players and abilities and everything? The server couldn't handle it from that day on. And ever since then, we've had lag in PvP.
That was the bot/lighting patch.
ZoS never admits mistakes, which is way instead of reverting it and trying to do the anti bot thing some other way, they kept pushing patches, worsening performance in the process.

That sucks. Bots ruined it for everyone.

Pendrillion · April 2016

I watched like 20 Minutes of your video...

And I only admit freely I am not a PVP player. I did dabble in PVP every now and then, and aside from Imperial City Ganking Squads it has been a pleasant pastime.

I play from Europe on the NA/PC server... that leaves me with a 200+ Ping usually. I haven't checked ping in Cyrodiil for quite some time. But I did play last year, also just to explore Cyrodiil for the Quest Content, and to get an idea of how PVP would feel. I met a great deal of friendly helpful players in the Pact. Performance wasn't bad usually, except for Zergballs and a lot of sorcs casting spells synchronously. I experienced roll backs, rubber banding and server freezes with the eventual disconnect.

You review what happened after launch. And I concur with your observations. The biggest problem were the bots. Also they had a field day, since the majority of the game ran client side, and not server side. (at least that is what I learned about the whole issue) I guess that is what you mean with netcode changes. I would love to have an inkling of how game - server communication really works. But I admit also freely I might be just to much of a dabbler in half knowledge to really understand how those systems work.

When the game came out, I decided expressively NOT to play on the European server. Because support and performance for them seemed unreliable. So far, I feel I made the right choice.

About the Flak the game got:

We had a few major camps:

The "This game is to bugged and full of bots" (which was basically true in my opinion)
The "This isn't Skyrim Online!! dammit!" quitters. (probably a majority)
The "I damn well don't want to play through content how you planned it for us, even if it screws the storyline" (Those folks got heard too much)
The "Why isn't this game not Free to play!"
The "I want to play the WHOLE content of the game on my main" (sillies)
Not to forget still strong party that claims "THIS GAME IS DYING"
And a lot of folks with Learn to play issues, expecting to be spoon fed at every turn etc...
Also I bet a lot of people who were paid by the competition to bad mouth every aspect of the freshly launched monster. (since that is kind of common strategy in todays PR) [especially trough social media]

Why I call it monster: First the game seems huge to me. It uses up around 50 GB on my hard disk. Since it runs client side, I'd wager at least the graphics run on my PC. Not sure how the Lighting Patch actually relates to my performance in Cyrodiil if it is rendered on my own system.
Furthermore what probably needs a lot of server space: The Database. basically, what my character can do,(attribute points, skill points Champion System.) and carries around. There is so much clutter in the game. Also, more Databases, for interactables. Then positions of animated NPCs and Fauna. (Deers and Torchbugs anyone) Also player movements and interactions with the world and other players. I surmise those things go server side.

So thats kind of a lot of stuff...

What I believe is: This game is a monster of complexity. And maybe, when ESO launched, they wanted it as niche product, appeasing PVP players. But with the success of Skyrim, the cards on the table changed. As we know, this game was starting development sometime after Oblivion. And was brought up at the same time as Skyrim. Since they knew there was a market for a game where you could explore aspects of the IP together with friends. (All the MP TES Mods out there speak volumes)

I guess ZOS is still struggling to provide the professional hardware a game this big needs. I cannot blame them. It probably costs so much to have that much flexibility and versatility, that it just isn't realistic to have it the right size needed for the game they made. YET. And I want to stress that.

And then the game launches... They expected to be popular among the single player crowd and PVP enthusiasts as well. But they underestimated how successful it was with TES players in the long run. First indication was the addition of Cadwells Silver and Gold. Also because the MMO crowd is used to min max and macro hack a game within days after launch.

More load for the Network.

That is in essence how I see why things shifted away from a niche PVP oriented title, with the expressive goal to become emperor through endgame in Cyrodiil, to The Elder Scrolls Online. Play Single or in groups.

PVP meanwhile devolved into Sorcerers Online. Can be cool. But I yearn for days where burst damage is gone, and you have to put in an effort in combat to kill someone. Not by repeating the same routine on your keys, like in a combo fighting game. But by actually coming face to face with another player. (My own PVP bitterness)

But for me they still provide me with enjoyable and worthwhile content, I can explore with my GF. And I don't regret investing some money in crowns.

Because I rarely have played a game where artistic values are held that high. Everyone is going on about balance and the technical side of things. The concern, is probably appreciated. And they do what they can with the budget they have. And @FENGRUSH : You are right they are a company. It is an entity of multitudes. People working within don't lie to you. Its not personal. Its a business strategy. I also am nostalgic for honest and truthful companies, or forthright communication about problems. But sometimes there is a chain of command, or a greater PR strategy. Or even some cover up to not loose more people. But thats how capitalism in the 21st century works. Its only numbers.

STILL there are dedicated people working there and doing their best to at least come out/up with content and communication for our problems, and also to keep us playing.

It cannot just be measured in black and white morality standards. Or well you can, but then you are a bitter Vet as another poster so aptly put it.

I will be a bitter vet: (the day comes) when the game has burned out, and the servers shut down. For now I try to enjoy what I have. I even am entitled to invest the crowns how I damn please. Or even refuse to buy some.

Just my thoughts on the matter.

I agree with some of what he says but don't agree with the mass who follow him trying to combat players who don't share the same view as them.

Strange. The combative comments I see, in general, are people flocking to these threads to cry and moan and whinge and complain about "yet /another/ one of these?????!" And complaining about Feng's alleged complaining even about a video wherein he's not complaining.

That's not the point.
I don't even discuss opinions here. I discuss representativity.
I'm not sure these guys (Fengrush, Sypher, Lefty, KingRichard, etc...) are the "experts", or the "outstanding players" that they pretend to be, but there is one thing they did PERFECTLY : market themselves by creating a mini-buzz here and there about their videos and rants, and making them look like "community events". These threads are part of it : whether positive or negative, we talk about them, and that's what matters to them, for their own ego, and for some of them, for their own business.
After a while it might even look like they're "community representatives", or that they're a "counter-power" to "evil ZOS", or that what they think is what we all think.
Sentences such as "my videos are well received by the community" serve this purpose very well. Having these videos posted by other people and these threads kept active by their fans is part of this strategy as well. It looks like there's actually a "group" of people of a relevant size thinking what they think and promoting their ideas, but in reality they could be as few as 5-10 guys.
My point is just to remind people that they're simple players like you and me, and their opinions are not more or less valid than anyone else's. The importance of their opinions is all made up by an admittedly well done packaging and communication strategy.

There's one thing however they should take into consideration : streaming is for an audience that has time to waste. It's about filling 2 hours or more with stuff that could be said in 10 minutes. Opinion videos such as this one is the opposite : they are aimed at a much larger audience (that's the goal) but that audience doesn't have over an hour to waste on something that could be said in 10 minutes.

MaxwellC · April 2016

@FENGRUSH
Amazing video mate I remember the day my friend introduced me to this game showing off this MMO where PvP is literally a WAR. Unfortunately now it's become a battle against alliances and lag; the only way to prevail is based upon who has a higher player ID.

I literally listened to the video for an hour straight while doing this on ESO. That video is definitely informative.

HoloYoitsu · April 2016

I see many people (pure PvE players, I am forced to assume) feel the same as Matt does.

In fact, everyone breaking the agreement to say that this game is bad is clearly a person you should just ignore.

To which I counter, "in fact, every PvE player denying that this game is broken is clearly a person you should just ignore."

In the "Fengrush community", maybe. In the ESO community, not so sure. Admittedly, I have no figures either, but one thing stands for sure : the former is of unsignificant scale, the latter is of significant scale.

If you're going quote something from the video at least use the exact wording and quote it in contex. What your quote should have said is.

Some facts for you. The video had 21,994 views on Youtube it got 1,062 likes and 114 dislikes. The Reddit post that was made about the video received a 74% up-vote, with many of the comments agreeing with it. The posts on the forums also had more positive comments than negative.

And if they were this tight-knit cabal of propaganda peddlers, they would have a ready-made video to post that contained concision. Instead, it's people just posting the raw video, or long excerpts from it; hardly a conspiracy. But if that's what you need to attribute to it in order to process it, go ahead. Just don't expect to not be laughed at for it.

He doesn't do his streams for small-bite consumption in places like this forum; he streams for his viewers. Some of them just happen to post his videos here, so it's pointless to even bring up the size of the video and what's better suited, because in the end it's a moot point.

If that's not a positive reception then what is it? Where is your evidence that it didn't receive a positive reception? So the Official ESO forums and the ESO Reddit are not a part of the ESO community?

To be more productive, I would say that I am interested in bullet points, but not in listening to a 1 hour monologue.

I don't care much about PvP, but I don't agree with some comments here. If someone posts a link to a video with a player talking about the game and multiple people agree with the opinions in that video, it makes no sense to try to discredit that person as someone we should bother listening to. Even if you do not accept that the person has any special qualifications, that still leaves them, at worst, another very active player who has devoted a lot of time to the game. It also doesn't change the fact that decent number of players agree with his perspective.

So let's set aside comments that try to belittle the opinions by trying to insult @FENGRUSH or whoever.

I have no idea about the opinions in the video though because I'm not devoting an hour for a few points. But I won't assume anything just because of someone's being more focused on PvP than I am.

Are you saying reddit and the forums and youtube are "The FENGRUSH community?" Because.. thats where I say it was positively received overall. And thats a pretty accurate claim Id say compared to a lot of the content put out there. In comments on reddit, forums, and youtube.. I saw plenty of posters who said "I dont watch your content / never seen you before / i know you and generally dont like you - BUT... I agreed with most/all of what you said."

I think its pretty well received in that respect, that players from different fronts can agree on it. Im not looking for acceptance, I do a lot of stuff on stream - but Ive cut different issues about ESO for awhile that I feel strongly about. Nobody has to watch them. And I dont ask them to be posted, but those videos do get posted and referenced in discussions.

So, you could say its 5-10 people making up my community.. you can check my social media bits to see if 5-10 is an accurate representation of 10k+ followers, almost entirely from ESO. You could look at over 500 replies on the video of which 95% is positive feedback from different posters. Maybe Im making new accounts all day to boost myself up though for this moment, right?

Instead of being bitter and negative on the production of my content, which is within your right to be.. and asking me for figures to validate an opinion on a passing comment of how I feel the video is received in general, how about you discuss issues of the video? Surely you can be better than the other passing posters here who find their way to every thread with my name in it and intentionally flame me rather than address any of the content of what I have to say and draw ridiculous assumptions on why Im making the video in the first place. Its entirely irrelevant to the thread. You could probably start a reddit thread on "Why FENGRUSH streams/makes videos on ESO and the back story to his ultimate goal."

ZOS make PVE DLC because TES are PVE games. If you dont like the PVP, TES or ZOS just get on your bike and play the many other games you compare it with on the forums every other day.

and btw, wtf do you people even want added to PVP? All I EVER see is "I miss the good old days of PVP" but WHAT do you even want added? All your ideas conflict with each other but ultimately its because "Fengrush" says so. Its like a little rebellion against ZOS haha "lets all join the rebels because that means we have our own voice!" the complete opposite effect is happening you crowd following rats

I was almost agreeing with you but you lost me in the end with your ignorance to the PvP problems, anti PvP attitude and you're thinking that ESO is a TES game.

Does Fengrush act like a spoiled child sometimes. Yes. Does Fengrush make some really good points regarding ZOS direction, bugs, attitude, etc? Yes.

He's passionate about the game. It's a good thing he is still ranting for it. If Matt Firor actually gave insight to the direction of the game, it would calm down a lot of people's attitude towards the game.

They won't do that though. They want to act like they're working to appease all groups of players, when in reality they don't give a *** about anyone but who spends the most money in the crown store.

That's disgusting. How could a company think of utilising a business plan that supports the areas generating the most income. It's like they expect to be profitable, and this is an issue that should be rectified immediately.

FENGRUSH · April 2016

I think it was their goal to make a great PVP game honestly. But having a game filled with bots will hurt your new player base tremendously - so they made the changes needed to fix the bots.

Doing that sacrificed Cyro.. they couldnt have both really. And I do believe they were trying to fix Cyro for a long time. I think we all know its not being fixed. Now we get 'incremental fixes' that they hope 'will help'. There is no fix. The fix is an illusion, and that is a fine one to perpetuate because they are not banking on the PVP player base anymore. It used to have A LOT compared to what we have today. It doesnt, yet the game still thrives. So its clear what this year direction was. At least it is to me.

Threads like these are whats wrong with the world.

1. Yeah sometimes streamers can be assess.
2. Yeah he has (imo) a big ego
3. Yeah sometimes he's passionate (crying) about certain things

HOWEVER. He does clearly address certain things that he finds are wrong with the game and clearly points out ways that ZOS can fix them. Its time for the community to focus on the things that can help this game rather then single out certain aspects of streamer vids and spend their time crying about how these videos should stay in twitch or how much the streamers cry etc etc. If you cant suggest solutions at least dont poo-poo on the people who are trying to outline solutions...... Jeez.
