Hard to say, because I still wouldn't enjoy it much without balance. But I would if balance was at least decent with good performance.

Don't personally care, I don't PvP. But it seems like decent performance should be included by default to any player who purchases the DLC/ ESO+. I'd think that should be a baseline expectation for any game purchase-- you know, that you can play it

There is an arguement that people are presenting that we shouldn't have to pay more for it - we just just have the performance.

While I don't disagree, I believe the issue lies in their promises made to the shareholders to keep pumping out 4 releases per year because that's how they see a return on their investment. They need to know that a return is possible through investing resources on something other than pve content. As any company would - they follow the money - and once something works they stick with that.

They have never dedicated a competent team to flesh out the performance because they have been told they are not allowed to stray from what they know works. Shareholders hold the future of every game. If investors don't get a return on their dollar, the game dies. Sad but true.

If there were a guarantee that performance would increase revenue, they would have a team on it the next day. We are caught in this limbo between what the team would LIKE to do and what they are ALLOWED to do. The only thing they are allowed to do is pump out content because it's the only thing that has been proven to create long term revenue.

This discussion is only meant to shed some insight into the kind of money "left on the table" as Dan has put it. I think ZOS would be shocked to know how many end game pvp players would happily invest monetarily if the performance was a result of our investment.

If you come in here and have your opinions that start with "I am a pve player, BUT..." This poll wasn't meant for you, we know your answer - $0. The question is directed at end game pvp players. How many of us would throw our wallets at ZOS for guaranteed performance?

How many players would come BACK to ESO once they heard the lag was gone? I would bet a LOT!

$0 because perfect performance shouldn't be monetized.

If it were just a matter of throwing some money at the problem, I'd like to think they would have explored that option by now.

Nothing. Cyrodill server performance is horrible as it is, and I shouldn’t have to pay for it. It’s part of the base game.

Ok, this PvE player who thinks you guys should have acceptable performance as a default will hereby exit this thread. Enjoy your lag

What about nothing.? It should work in the first place. I pay sub every month. More should never be required. And it's honestly dumb to even want to pay more for it.
People pay already enough for this service. If anything they should make it cheaper for the players until they fix it.

100% agree! Right now we're paying for a service that isn't performing as advertised.

Zero. Even if I don’t sub, I’ve already paid for a product that should run better than it does right now.

To truly improve performance they'd need to rework ability particle effects, disable costumes and armor visuals (these all add to server load), possibly remove all aoe's, Dot's and hot's (all increase server calculations), and revert changes to anti-cheating protection and ddos protection for pvp.

So if you can be happy with standard armor skins, direct damage only abilities and flying meteor or dawnbreaker showers with the occasional denial of service because someone wanted lulz, this may be what it takes.

nothing. balance the game and make it more fun.
that's all i ask.

$0 extra because I've already paid for a product.


As a matter of fact- ZOS is about to be in the negative $30/month if the game's performance doesn't show a significant increase. My wife and I will be unsubscribing soon because of lag (in both PVE and PVP), long load screens, etc.

ZOS- many, many, many threads have popped up recently about your game's performance. It has significantly decreased over the past year. Do something about it.

PVP Performance is fine, if you play Battlegrounds. I gave up on Cyrodiil after switching to PC and realizing it is just as bad as it was on the original version of Xbox One. At least now I get good frames outside of Cyrodiil. lol

I'll vote for up to another $15. But only because Dan IS the man and while I don't PvP much I'd love for my FnF's on Shor to be a bit more enjoyable with a performance boost.

(Just for Dan's record keeping.....I actually would pay up to $50 more a month IF this perfect performance will mean MORE PEEPS!!)
