ZOS has made promises about improving game performance in the past yet nothing was done. They are good at telling the player base what they want to hear.

50 minutes of the past. 10 minutes of the future. Typical. ZOS has zero vision.

5 years of nothing for Cyrodiil. Now, the problems have spread to the PvE areas and suddenly, we started to see schedules with small writings under them; claiming fixes and improvements might shift as the development continues. We know, they will shift into new content creation. Words, words, words with no concrete plan to back them up. Only 'but's and' 'if's.

After 5 years, we need 1 more year to go ...

OK ZOS.... you I dont have high hopes for you, but you better deliver

so we will see the fixes to the gamebreaking bugs we have now...in Q2 of 2020, great..../sarcasm

Footnote on the screen: "Note that some fixes and improvements might shift as development continues." So Q1 2025 is my guess.

In january the timeline was six to eight months. Now it has been extended for another whole year!

And in a year from now nothing will have been done and the game performance will be the same or even gotten worse. I don't believe anything ZOS says anymore when it comes to fixing the pathetic game performance issues plaguing their game. They tell the player base what they want to hear and that is the extent of it.

"Behind-the-scenes combat ability improvements"

What's up with that, did they elaborate?

Likely cleaning up and refactoring code to minimize unnecessary or redundant processing and data calls, and code duplication. It may include streamlining character models and animations. And/or other stuff that you don't see at the player end.

I agree it may be all that. Alternately, it might just be a flaming pile of dog poo.

Judging by today's guild store speed, seems like nothing good has appeared, logged out in disgust waiting for respones!

Looks promising!

Sure only thing optimized will be the crown crates. Have seen many promises with little results.

Well, now that they have said more than "it is high priority for us" and released a timeline, we will start to see the fruits of all this.

They have lied before.

There’s a third option. They didn’t lie, they just failed.

I think the third option is most likely the case. Unfortunately the failures have spanned so many updates that it is overly frustrating for a good part of the player base who play regularly(like yourself and myself). I think the disdain and skepticism are warranted to a degree and unfortunately there are going to be troll that take it to an extreme in every online forum. Also, the lack of communication regarding pretty much anything that is not housing, costumes or the crown store has become a deafening presence within the game. People want to hear updates, want to know that their voice is being heard, and unfortunately up to this point the company has not proven that they can do this.

I am also in the I'll believe it when I see it category.. both from actual performance improvements that are meaningful and actual communication promised. They have until December for me to get my subscription back and then I'll probably suck up the money loss and go month to month because the intervention on the forums is only relevant and existent if its crown store related.

Well, the fact of the matter is that there is no guarantee. Some people may find significant performance increases, some may not.

I hear that. Hopefully they are noticeable in some areas for everyone this time though, those are some pretty significant changes they are proposing. I'm apprehensive personally but hopefully it comes to fruition and continues in the right direction after being live for 5+ years and 10+ of development.

While the performance improvements sound promising, the weight on the other side of the scale for me is the blanket nerf-fest coming with the new dungeon DLC.
I haven't watched the Twitch stream yet but I'm doubting any mention was made for specifically improving performance in Oceania, where Akamai adds more latency on top of already bad performance?.

Playing on PTS over the last few weeks, the changes are definitely interesting so far. I'm still a bit on the fence personally. Curious what the last week of PTS will bring before it goes live. I know they have the best of intentions with all of this, but it's just so much all at once.

I really wish they would open an Oceanic megaserver, it's quite surprising after 5 years they haven't already tbh. As frustrating as everything feels right now, hope you will stay.

how will these stop the game disconnecting I cant even write a ticket in game without getting disconnected from the game.
and I'm not the only one who has this problem. there are so many bugs now, basic stuff doesn't even work like having a skill activate on first button press. It seems they create more every time they tinker with the game. I am at the point where I have lost total faith in the dev team to do anything more than add new content which doesn't perform. As for combat I don't think zos can balance pve and pvp unless they separate it completely and even then its hard.

From what Matt said this should be great

Matt is very good at talking. Even credible, to unsuspecting audience without prior experience with him.
