✭✭I'm impressed you played for 7m in that framerate and lag... I would have just quit.
Regardless, your suggestion that objectives need to be changed so that players don't all funnel to one place is a good one. Unfortunately, we have been asking for this for more than a year (since it became obvious that lag occurred when the big groups clashed at objectives).
It would be great if there we a huge range of objectives scattered around the map. For instance:
1. Towns with capturable flags.
2. "orchards" were certain harvestable resources are available in large quantities... but require an alliance to capture them
3. Single-tower outputs in between keeps with one flag on the roof.
4. Keep resources that actually do something when you take and hold them
5. etc.2 -

i really couldn't see people going after those suggested objectives when something like last emp keep is on the line

Jules, we have all been down this road for 20+ months. All the same complaints and where has it gotten us? Are things any better? I guess the lag is a little less terrible after TG, but some things are worse than ever. Either learn to just accept the game and have fun or go play Dark Souls or CU when it drops. What exactly are videos like you posted going to accomplish?Edited by God_flakes on April 30, 2016 4:54PM0 -

✭✭Even after leaving ESO I had small reserves of hope, and some of the changes for DB had me intrigued. Things like adding some flag mechanics to the districts (even if it should have came like this stock). But otherwise Cyrodiil is pretty much unplayable, even for players who run solo and want nothing to do with groups. We wait endlessly for some type of small scale PvP update, arenas and battlegrounds where we can escape lag and enjoy smaller PvP. The lag won't easily be fixed (or be fixed at all), many top level devs bounced from the project. It's no longer the ESO that we knew. It's probably already too late, ZOS' awkward stance on the matter (as Blab alluded to) is a death sentence to PvP in this game.
I knew that once Dark Souls 3 came out it'd be a fantastic game for small PvP out of the box. It's got the perfect PvP for smaller scale players, it blends PvE is a way ZOS couldn't ever do with an MMO. But now that I'm playing it, I realize that ESO will never fill that void for me. Beating up on droves of noobs in unplayable lag conditions is not fun, even minus the lag it gets old really fast.
This might be unpopular opinion for many, but ZOS builds this game for endless droves of Skyrim noobs, that's why PvE is mostly a joke and there is no reward for exploration etc. ZOS wants to sell DLC packs with small homages to the standalone TES games "now you can steal, no pvp though" or "now you can assasinate NPC, no PvP though", that casuals will get all excited about and buy / play for a few hours. While Dark Souls 3 might be easier for veterans of the series than previous titles, FROM Software doesn't design the difficulty of the game for the lowest common denominator, and the result is a more fun game for people who enjoy challenges.

"Japanese Nintendo font", Giant dramatic item icons, anime-grostesque themes, sewn together with a wonderfully brutal difficulty mechanic.
I'd get into a series like that if it had the western horror art direction that made powerhouse 80's movies like Hellraiser so intellectual yet brutal. Hell, just get me a game that had the intuitive use of sound recognition in 2016's Hush as a fear mechanic.
I get the push for new players as a business model, but those of us that grew up on 1998's gaming golden age are looking for the embracing of art and storytelling. We are becoming more aware of the push for challenging content as gamers but are constantly hitting business ceilings and none of those choices are made of glass. Rock solid, obtuse, and freakishly transparent as meathods to push money.
I get that we all need to pay bills. But sometimes a very well sewn game with impeccable design direction can make up for years or millions of advertising. It's just a matter of how you want to pull those resources to the end zone and the urge to step back and self-critque your product intuitively.Minno - DC - Forum-plar Extraordinaire

Alittle melodramatic but it's the sad truth of it all. Don't know what Zenimax is looking at but 30 FPS and 100 Ping is not what I get. Since I have returned alittle for TG, I am experiencing this stuff in PvE zones (Craglorn of all places) and that tells me something is definitely wrong. My top of the line PC has the same issues with my mid level in this game and my gaming port is prioritizing sending and receiving packets.Edited by Enraged_Tiki_Torch on April 30, 2016 7:35PMMy solution to Champion Point System here1 -

Rakkul✭✭✭BUT WAIT!
Surely this cannot be!
The problem has been identified and actioned by Zenimax as Sorc Shield Stacking.
Sorcs have obviously been wandering round in pvp with 20 second shields - never needing to refresh them over this entire duration......apparently.
Long duration Shield Stacking must have caused the lag and unreliable skill performance. The (number out of a hat) reduction to Sorc shield duration will apparently dramatically improve the pvp situation, hence the prioritization by the developers.
(However, now with everyone running round shielded which will have to be recognized by the system, and may in fact make the performance worse.)
But disregard this moment of factual thinking, and climb on the 20 seconds shield stacking blame train - always good to direct things at a single target in pvp - even when it's so obviously the wrong one.
Re the video - good example of what the actual problems are. The issue being that to fix these will demand a significant amount of work and probably equipment expense by the company.
Consequently other actions will be looked at as the way to improve matters - and will not make any difference.
Merely placebos to make some players feel good when it's not their class that gets focused on by the developers as the scapegoat for the very real engine performance and balance problems in the pvp environment.Edited by Rakkul on May 1, 2016 6:58AM2 -

Captureable bridges is a fantastic idea. I also think that there should really be a bridge between Nikel and Alessia honestly. People love bridge action with all the nooks and crannies there.
All the towns in Cyrodiil should be Captureable and give buffs to faction or character. Something worthwhile. Same goes for the districts in IC. There needs to be incentive other than just obtaining to obtain or obtaining to get more TV stones. People want power more than they want anything else. That's why emp pushes and dethrones are so popular bc it buffs the entire faction and an individual tenfold. Give small scale players things to capture that give back to the overall goals and efforts of the alliance they play for.
And yes, agreed with whoever said 2 keeps instead of 1 for emp dethrone. Inconvenient for the emp, but hopefully helps lessen the stacking we see at last emp keep.
But all of these are just fixes to spread people out when in reality, the game should function just fine even at last emp keep with lots of players present. It just doesn't.2 -
Sacadon✭✭✭✭✭The fact that overall PvP performance has progressively gotten worse is completely unacceptable. We should be able to have big fights like we did when it was first released. There's no good reason why we cannot.
I speculate that as players left over the years, ZOS continued to reduce the number of supporting servers to keep costs in-line.
Their communication style on the matter breeds further contempt, telling me the truth may actually be worse than our current beliefs. But of course one has to be careful giving too much credit.0 -

Also lock emp capping except for the hours of 2pm EST to Midnight or some other way to prevent night capping.
or get rid if it all together.
oh and fix the lag and we will come.

There would be zero reason to take a keep if there wasn't emp and associated buffs.
This is the exact reason the IC district updates are problematic.1
