Viability of PVP

I exclusively play this game for PvP, and while i'm not the best or even "good" it's become clear that every single new DLC has more game breaking bugs than fixes. It has come to the point where I am NOT excited when they announce a new DLC because it is guaranteed to detract from any fun that the game offers, usually for a period of a month or MORE. Clockwork brought the infinite load screen, and even that wasn't as bad as the mid-fight freezes that are currently plaguing Cyrodiil since the release of Summerset. I am talking 4-5 hard freezes an hour, at random intervals, having nothing to do with the population of the current area. I am disappointed especially since the Midyear Mayhem event will be starting soon, Cyrodiil population will grow exponentially and my favorite part of the game will be unplayeable for the next month or so.

    BGs

    BG's don't solve the problem of one of the *selling point* features of the game being bugged beyond enjoyability. I'll also be honest i don't enjoy BGs because of the fast pace of action. I like protecting the flanks of a zerg AKA zerg-surfing, and just fighting in the middle of empty land.

    You know, speaking from the ps4 point of view, Imperial City has been performing extremely well since Summerset and has been virtually free of the freezing, loadscreens, and lag that plagues cyrodiil...

    As a result I have been playing there almost exclusively and have been having a blast...

    Just something to think about...

    BGs

    Some people enjoy BGs, but it's disingenuous to suggest that people who play this game for the Alliance War can get what they want out of BGs. The two are completely different experiences.

    Yeah IC is great performance wise - nobody's ever there. Problem solved ZoS Devs - remove the players. Your strategy of releasing broken content makes sense now - those are the 'performance updates' every patch includes; I get it now.

    I don’t know how long YOU’VE been playing, but ESO cyrodiil PvP has worked well in the past, maybe you haven’t been there long enough to notice, but almost every large patch is the problem not the lenght of time i’ve been playing the game.

    Yes, every patch the game introduces new bugs and gets worse, and that is what I was referring to that will never change.

    Which platform are you on?

    Atleast on ps4, the IC population is rock solid at peak hours...

    okay maybe i’m just mad, you’re not wrong. But what makes IC work at what cyrodiill fails? that may be an avenue for the devs to look at. I just want the part of the game which i enjoy fixed.
