Midyear Mayhem is Unplayable

JumpmanLane · July 2018

PC NA Vivec is unplayable. Lag. Get near a fight and then you crash. The ground textures won’t rez and you’re stuck running in place.

What’s the point of earning double AP if you crash and don’t get the tick.

The new campaigns are empty or small groups not wanting to fight. Just trading keeps and resources.

Midyear Mayhem is an unplayable joke. “Survived Two Weeks of Very Poor Server Performance” should be an achievement requirement for the Star-Made Knight Achievement Lol. Everyone who wears that title surely somehow survived lmao.

Even very early this morning the lag was terrible no skills would fire and no bar swap 90% of the time. I usually have no lag either even during large fights.

Did you buy 200 furniture slots disguised as a boat?

No?

Then ZoS has little cares about your problems.

Yeah, this is a facetious post. 4+ years and this crap is still a problem.

I think it's comical that someone asked for another Non-Champ Campaign yesterday and 5 replies in Gina says they've opened one. Yet with 20+ threads about the terrible performance ZO$ hasn't even acknowledged there's a problem

After 2+ hours of waiting I was presented with unplayable lag(and, evidently it wasn't just me based on zone chat,) server kicked me when I got near a keep that was being sieged, aaaand it placed me outside of cyrodiil when I logged back in.

is this a joke?

No. Jokes have an unexpected punchline.

Happened to me. Two days running. Now that I’m in Shor fighting in my guest campaign, slipping down the leaderboard, probably losing rewards, earning double AP for nothing. Great event.

JumpmanLane · July 2018

They should rename this event Midyear Mayhem Part II: Unplayable Bugaloo

Thogard · July 2018

Still going smoother than last year though lol.

Saturday afternoon will be the worst. Then it’ll slowly trickle off.

I am playing on sotha and D'Albei and there is no lag. I am getting more than 100 fps right now

Not getting credit for kills. Lagging out. Attacks not connecting at all. Bars not swapping. It's almost like all the issues PVPers have been complaining about non-stop are still a problem. =/

MinnesotaKid · July 2018

Well not to throw salt on top your salt guys....

But after waiting 45 minutes to get through the 178 person queue, my playing experience was actually fairly positive. I was in PC NA Vivec during prime last night and I averaged a ping of 125, framerates up around 100 (which is normal for me) and it was fairly smooth w/o the glitching or texture issues that have been out there lately.

Not sure why this is as the last couple weeks have been total crap out there but last night was a pleasant surprise.
Hope you guys have a better experience and I hope last night wasn't an anomaly for me.

Just crashed Shor. Can’t log in at all. Was 17 in the queue for Vivec. Yay!

Grabber · July 2018

Sotha was god awful last night I think worse then vivec

The issues seem to come in waves. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it starts to get slow and just spazzes out completely. I can play fine for an hour, and then the next hour I can't bar swap without hitting the button 3-4 times. Or there'll be an enemy directly in front of me, I'll attack them, do the animation, but they take no damage or the game acts like I can't target them at all. It's exceedingly inconsistent.

Karivaa · July 2018

Go to a different campaign.

MyNameIsElias · July 2018

I've crashed 10+ times as soon as i get close to a keep.

Narvuntien · July 2018

I'd describe it as frustrating because the disconnects seem to happen just as you are about to get that sweet defensive or attacking tick.

Then it takes 5 mins to reconnect to the server....

.

The lag I am kind of used to, getting kicked from the server thats much more of a pain.

Stovahkiin · July 2018

Get out of Vivec ffs, of course you have lag since for some reason everyone is piling into that campaign. I and some other people I know played in a smaller campaign for several hours yesterday and had essentially no performance issues, and there were definately still more people than usual online in there.

Good thing theres more servers besides vivec.

Huyen · July 2018

*** happens when everyone joins the same campaign at once...

Thestephenmcraeub17_ESO · July 2018

Time to set those unpopular campaigns to home, doesn't look like we'll be getting any help from ZOS on this, and I have an Alliance War rank that needs leveling.

OGLezard · July 2018

And after the event we will al go back to vivec because the other campaigns will be closed

makreth · July 2018

elder loading screens all over again..4 years and this still happening..

TheDarkoil · July 2018

Took me 2 hours off relogging on PC EU when finally I got in without dcing and it was stable for about 2 hours playtime.

Gythral · July 2018

I've played on many of the campaigns, except Vivec (PC/EU) and with a few minor loadscreens all have been fine

Yup and once again it will be unplayable for most of us.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · July 2018

Move to a different server. My PvP guild switched to Kastav (guest campaign) for 2 weeks until the event is over. Very little lag plus AD and EP have had some pretty fun fights there. A few DC joined in also.

Gargath · July 2018

Yesterday I got position 107 in queue for Vivec and after an hour of waiting I had a huge lag but I understand it's normal, when so many people cast abilities in a same time. Just chill out and keep returning after each death. Most important is the double AP coming to the wallet, lag will be lower after the event

newtinmpls · July 2018

Well, does it help if you turn your screen rez to really crappy?

That used to be one of my solutions to weird lag in some part of Tamriel

shadyjane62 · July 2018

Wait in Q for only 30 mins if I'm lucky. Take forever to log in. Get in, go 3 feet and crash.

Since I'm dead somewhere out in the countryside when I crash, when I try to relog it tells me I don't have a valid game.

If I'm not valid, I want my money back.
