What the imperial city event taught us.

In the imperial city, even with locked factions, you don't:

- get stuck in combat
- get lag spikes
- get fps drops
- time out (booted)
- crash
- get loading screens in combat

Why can't Cyrodiil be like this?
- The Psijic Order
- TKO
- Dominant Dominion
- The Noore

    IC should be a good place for arranged guild battles.

    IC is not faction locked

    - get stuck in combat..........yes you still get stuck in combat but you notice less as you are constanly refreshing your instance by going through door

    - get lag spikes............lag spikes are still a thing depends on the time of day

    - get fps drops.............large groups at boss fight sometime still cause FPS drops

    - time out (booted).............. we just get extra long load screens instead

    - crash............nope we still crash

    - get loading screens in combat............as before combat happens within a small area at any given time the area is pre-loaded when you go through a door

    Why can't Cyrodiil be like this?.............because IC is a PvPvE zone

    A few lag spikes but surprisingly IC ran pretty smooth for me.

    That when the game runs really well like it did during the event. PvP is a lot more fun.

    IC should be a place for groups no bigger than 4.

    Too many big groups in cyrodiil. Ic is better because less people.

    When Cyrodiil is pop locked, players tend to clump up at 1-3 major keep battles, while the IC pop is much more spread out.

    Cause IC doesn’t have near the concentrated volume of people that cyrodil does. If IC had the same number of people concentrated in one area as say a BRK or ash siege during prime time it would have the same problems. IC does a better job of spreading people out. Some people at center, some at top, some near based. The lag is because the server can’t handle all the calculations of combat in a concentrated area. Zos screwed up when they designed their mega server technology and now they can’t fix it. It didn’t help they continue to push the servers beyond their limits with adding things like proc sets, new skills, etc.

    Actually, everything ran pretty good for the most part, for me at least. Certainly lag existed as it always does the more people online and in the area. The only real bad part was the middle of the sewers where multiple factions were trying to kill each other while killing Molag bals shade.
    Hey everyone! Look! It's a signature!

    If millions of damage and tandom heals were not ticking and getting calculated, lag would be less. Go near a ball group that spam heals and aoes. 12-18 manlag harder than 24 zerg group.
