well since bandwidth cost money and they likely already contract out to a server farm which also costs money, combined with the fact that most play for near free (B2P), means that the improvement will most likely come at the cost of speed of combat. i.e lower overall requests and calculations to fit what they are already paying for.

They really screwed themselves with the animation cancelling. No wonder buddy was fired.

Stopped subscribing a month or two ago specifically because of the lag. Their servers are really poor, and there's no technology barrier to stop them improving the server locations and efficiency. They're deliberately choosing not to invest their income in better latency performance. And until they do, I'll continue choosing not to invest my money in ESO.

I already quit playing because it was getting worse in the past year. The amount of bugs, lag and long loading screens kind of ruined my fun in the game. I have a good gaming pc and a fast and stable internet connection. ESO is the only game that gives me issues. Maybe I return in a year or so, who knows?

They said they had performance fixes in the future.

I paid for ESO+ and all contents during 2 years, I also bought a lot of crowns during that time.
I stopped my sub and any kind of transaction because of the bad performance of the game and the way our legitimate complains were completely and deliberately ignored for years also. I particularly remember the reaction of ZOS during the last undaunted event when people were telling that the grouping tool was broken "what ? you're in group and you press the button and it doesn't work ?" I stopped my sub at this exact moment. (I don't blame the messenger here ! I blame the hypocrisy of the company)

I'd be more than happy to sub again when/if the game gets a decent fix : group finder fixed, no lags anymore, especially in Cyro, guildbank/guildstore bugs fixed for starting. I don't even dare dreaming about in combat bug fixed.
I LOVE this game and its content : it's just completely spoiled by the terrible performance.

The majority of the problems that this game has is due to the code being a complete mess (they admitted that a while back), the improvement plan that they have shown us is them trying to fix the base code. That is why in update 25/26 (cannot remember which) we have to redownload the entire game, because they are basically rewriting the base code, integrating the all of the previous updates instead of just layering them on top.

Now whether they can actually fix the problems or if the player base will survive that long, who knows.

But then what do I know anyway.

The base code is only a small part of it. The assets make up the vast majority of a download.

I actually read it as they were re-organising how all the assets were stored, splitting them into smaller more logical units.

The benefits of that would be the claimed reduction in patch size through better targetting and also significantly improved loading asset loading time for the same reasons. I got the impression that the original layout was a bit simplistic and didn't cater for any sort of serious growth.
