A Video Plea to ZOS [Sad Times]

    PvP-performance in Cyrodiil is in a sorry state. My FPS is just fine, absolutely sufficient to be able to play with, but as soon as I get near to a battle of reasonable size (not even as big as the one shown in the start of this thread) I start lagging out until I am the only one moving, and then the game disconnects me. This happens well within the timeframe of a minute or two as soon as I close in on a keep-battle.

    This is not "doom and gloom" this is me literally not being -able- to play a part of the game I used to enjoy, I'd trade the senche I got for my loyalty for a functioning Cyrodiil experience any day of the week.

    @Siluen I'm not trying to be a ZOS apologist but this may help.

    Reduce your View distance and particle effects to the minimum. Set the game to medium textures, no water reflections, low shadows.

    Turn OFF your combat log and combat text except the in-game version.

    These steps dealt with a lot of the loss of responsiveness I felt in large battles.

    These may just sound like graphical changes but it drastically reduces the throughput load on the CPU.

    There are also network changes you can make to your network ports to help make a steady connection.

      I'd be happy if ZOS ceased all development of new content so that they could concentrate all of their resources to fixing what's already in the game rather than adding more complications on top of the current problems. If it takes 3 months, or 6 months so be it. Please suspend new content development until the current game is fixed.

      Why are guilds to blame? For being coordinated and committed? I don't understand why people blame guilds. Why not blame the 59,000 pugs who follow them around trying to leech ap??

      More exit drama. Based on the 24/7 poplock on TF it doesn't appear any EP are leaving.

      WOT! There's not nearly the amount of competitive guilds and gamers as there once was.
      Sure we have a pop locked campaign. But they've dropped the capacity of campaigns at least three times. They've cut the number of campaigns by more than 50%, and all we have left are potatoes running around in a giant 2 raid zerg.

      Sure there's a poplocked EP, but that's not taking any of the above into consideration.

      You don't think DC has felt the exodus, too? My only point was it doesn't seem to be affecting EP one bit. They still pain train with their obscene population.

      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.

      If you tie emp into IC objectives or give IC it's own mini-emp or something that requires holding certain objectives, you'll just end up with all the players gravitating toward those objectives and ignoring the rest, and then cluster***ing on the last one so as not to lose mini-emp just like in Cyrodiil. This sort of mechanic would completely defeat the purpose of the small scale, spread out play style desired in IC.

      In my opinion, if we had a solid sandbox of objectives in IC with thought out incentives and rewards for playing there, people who want small scale action would go there.

        When my internet is optimized the game works just fine for me. I've experienced very few instances of lag in TF since I came back a few weeks ago and none of them were game breaking. It's nothing like it used to be. Perhaps if you EP are still experiencing horrible lag it's time to stop stacking your entire faction into one campaign and one area.

        True. The first one was so much fun. Even if you don't feel the need to prove anything, it's just something fun to participate in with no lag.
