So this no CP week has been the worst server experience

LiquidSchwartz · March 2017

There has been more players and I think the no CP did help originally for when there was the same amount as usual but when you get the three factions all fighting at one keep or anything more than 60 people the lag is immense and the disconnects and unable to log in for an hour is crazy..

Next test Trials without CP, ZOS.

Nobody can play PvE, and it'll be full circle.

Would be so fun to hear my friends cry about it.. all for it

I bet ZOS will say something like...
- So it was not CP that caused the lag in pvp ?
- No... it was something different sir.. Maybe it was zerg groups spamming destro - ult ? Or maybe we should upgrade our servers ?
- Nah.. It is not the case... Now we should test if lag is caused by proc - sets, gear bonuses and racial passives... Next week we will disable those in PvP and see if the lag is smaller...

for those of us who played in Cyro at launch time we could have huge battles going on without these problems

so what i don't understand is why don't they just look at what was working back then and put it back in place now

i guess it is my simplistic view of things and it is much more complicated than that

you do realise i will have to spend some "quality time" with the family now

Still no lag at all everything seems to be working perfectly now.

I agree, we should get an extra week of no CP for proper testing purposes...

It's definitely time for a server upgrade.

We already knew CP don't cause the lags. Lags, especially in Cyrodiil, existed long before CP were introduced.

The CP removal helped reduce lag tho.. blackwater has always been less laggy for me and same with azura it's just there are 400 people in a keep

Server lag was actually the lowest I've seen it for groups this large. FPS was steady with large groups of AD & DC going head to head. There have been loading g screen issues for some, but I don't remember the last time things were this steady with this amount of players.

A big factor I think is that keep sieges have not been taking long. Instead of hour long sieges, things seem to be decided in under half an hour, especially with no CP to act as a crutch for unkillable builds. I think you'll see changes surrounding that.
