Cyrodil Lag in 2x AP event

How could you not fix the lag in cyrodil before this mideyear mayhem event. The PvP community is small as is. I’ve been a long Time part of the community and I can say for sure that the number of people that play has decreased. Now this event is the chance to bring more people into the pvp scene, but sadly they’re just going to be turned off by the unplayabilty of combat in this level of lag. L

Although perhaps this was all part of your plan, since lag benefits large group players chasing down us smaller scale, more skilled players. So maybe you did this to make it easier on the noobies. All I know is it’s about time you did something about this horrible game breaking lag in cyrodil.

    Why are you more skilled players running away?
    I thought your skills killed zergs. lol

    It’s the same every year and they don’t fix it. I wouldn’t have expected them to fix it this time.

    Perhaps because randomly mashing keys, in the hopes maybe a light attack will go off, isn't anyone's idea of end game pvp.

      Did anyone seriously expect it to go any differently? Many of us voiced our concerns about having this event while these major issues persist, yet they covered their ears and plowed on ahead like always.

      BG is fun, no lag, and gives nice AP.

      Working as intended. You get double the AP to make up for being able to play only half the time due to the increased lag....

      So it all works out in the end.

      I cant do anything in Cyro. Yeah, Ive been here since beta and it's mostly always been terrible when theres enough people to have fun but it never ceases to be disappointing. I got dumped twice and now I cant log back and to throw salt iin the wound it tells me to check my internet connection cause yeah, that's the problem....sigh..battlegrounds it is, I guess
      There is nothing here of interest to any nations; as a matter of fact, there is nothing here but people.

      Think it's time to come to terms and realize that they can't fix the issues. At least when another mmo comes out for console I really hope they look at ESO so they no what not to do in a PvP environment.. This game could of been so much more if they sorted the issues this game has had since day 1..

      so for BG so far I've queuing, accepting the invitation, then waiting for last player and....I am removed from the queue???
      This is new or anyone have that?

      I've played in BG almost every evening in PC EU and first time I see that!

      I go open a ticket about it while waiting...

      Weirdly I did multiple zerg sieges, granted against weakly defended keeps but no issues, then in an friendly hold town doing some town quests I got lots of lag, some member of zerg did some quests so all should get their tickets but no fighting or anything.
      Grinding just make you go in circles.
      Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

      It can be made worse though. That's been demonstrated over the past 24 months. Now when I see 20/20 at a keep, I run the other way. Only lag, load screens and disconnects await those foolhardy enough to ride in to help defend.

      Nothing worse that flying in through the front door to find that nobody's moving... or hitting that 30 second load screen as you approach.

      I believe it can be fixed. If they can wreck it, they can fix it. It's just engineering and optimization. I also believe they have the capability. But I don't believe they're prioritizing it, and that's the problem IMHO.

      BGs can be really fun till your MMR messed up and let you encounter pre-made groups. Such a shame.

      I stopped playing cyro a while back, it's not worth playing now, lag and loading screens make it to frustrating for me.

      I cannot understand what made them do a pvp event though, they are not stupid, they knew it would be a pathetic mess and I dont see what they gain from making everyone angry with it.

      I think they want cyro to die and everyone move over to BG because its cheaper for them to run smaller servers for 12 man BGs.

      Cyro is just an expensive headache for them now.

      Spent 4 hours in Cyro this afternoon, no DCs, little to no lag. There was a bit of lag when there were two big zergs clashing in a keep but that was expected. Pop-capped all the time.

      Ping was less than stellar but otherwise no issues.

      This is not the question of someone that has been a long Time part of the community. Haha. I kid of course, but is anyone actually surprised? In other news, how bad are the queues right now? I probably need to engage in some some small scale erping and heavy execute spamming once I get off work.

      Actually to my suprise today cyro was pretty good. Pop locked campaing at Malacath and no lag at all. Only some fps drops when we met too big zergs.

      Other than having a queue, it seemed generally fine on Sotha Sil last night. I had two long loading screens but nothing was worse than usual (damning by faint praise?).
