80% of cyrodiil is unplayable.

SillyGT · October 2019

This has been a problem on console for over a year. Trying to capture or defend keeps is almost impossible. Due to the fact that you will guaranteed to hit a load screen mid fight. It’s simply unfair that mid combat you can be completely wiped because of a load screen. On console they last up to minutes, and there’s nothing you can do about it. This applies to anywhere you are at regardless of keep or outpost. Every update up until elsweyr this never happened. Some suggestions to prevent this and make cyrodiil enjoyable again are to leave keeps with the end caps so it’s doesn’t have to upgrade or downgrade. Remove load screens when walls are being repaired. This honestly makes no sense because your don’t hit a load screen when a wall or door comes down. Why should it if it’s being upgraded? Everyone at Zenimax please look into this. Because players are literally quitting because it’s literally unplayable.

I died to load screens twice in the last two days. Miraculously, survived during two others. It’s absolutely maddening.

I just hold block and hope I’m half alive when it loads.

Oh, PCNA

PS4 NA 10.01.2019 Cyrodiil

Within 30m I load screen 3x in a fight (one of those was almost a minute), fell into the terrain & came back above it (this was new for me), & voice was bugged (half a year now wtf) so I couldn't hear or participate in raid.

Going to take a pass on your 50% off Elsweyr, community pve event of fluff.

Fix PvP please.

I can no longer play Cyrodiil in ESO anymore without crashing as I apporch a battle. I honestly think ZOS has completely gave up on PvP in ESO. Kinda like all the rest of the MMOs dev teams have. GW2, BDO, Tera, the list goes on, dev teams have all gave up on their game's PvP.

I think it's time for me to start coming to terms on giving up on the MMO genre. Was nice while it lasted, but it seems MMO teams have went full on anti social PvE mode. GW2, BDO, and ESO now kinda feel like crappy single player titles with the option of seeing other players.

Mr_Walker · October 2019

There's occasionally some hinky crap going on with them.

3 times in a row a couple weeks back I got load screen, then bombed whilst in load screen.

A few promising pvp focused mmo's are being worked on atm.

Major_Lag · October 2019

PC-EU Kaal: it's pointless to try to port to a keep or outpost which is being attacked (and defended) by more than (roughly) a full raid on each side, because that's a guaranteed disconnect when the loadscreen ends.

What happens is that you get disconnected during the loadscreen, and you load into zombie-land where everyone just stands around like lemons.
After several seconds the game client recognizes that you have, in fact, been disconnected, and boots you out to login screen. Usually it takes several attempts to even be able to log back in when that happens.

Even riding a horse to such besieged locations can be very flaky - a lot of the time the whole area around the keep/outpost fails to load and you get "stuck on textures" at the boundary of the unloaded area.

Don't even get me started on the stupid hammer, that garbage is pointless to even bother with. Free lag-outs and disconnects for everyone!
Let the enemies PvDoor the keep and move on, before even THINKING about retaking it. Trying to defend is usually a complete waste of time, unless you can prepare the defenses in advance and your defending force is quite solid.

xxthir13enxx · October 2019

Yup agreed...just completely remove the wall upgrade/degrade animations...we don’t need them...
It makes no logical sense for sections of a wall to appear and disappear...
So save us from the unnecessary animations and game breaking loadscreens

eso_lags · October 2019

Zos should get an award for creating the worst PVP in an mmo ever to exist. Or I should say taking some of the best pvp to exist and making it the worst. In other words they have ruined pvp completely.

I would pay damn good money to see @ZOS_Gilliam or any of the devs get on xbox and try to play in that 30 day campaign. You will NEVER see it. It would be a disaster. Because that *** is unplayable.

I would also like for zos to start taking cyrodil into account when they balance this game. Like with cast times, lets take dswing for example. Has a 1 second cast time, but in the 30 day on xbox that cast time goes up to 3 4 5 6 7 seconds sometimes. Its not even worth using at that point because people just walk away. Truly shameful.

The load screens are the most game breaking bug of cyrodiil IMO. Totally takes you out of the immersion and just deflates your enthusiasm to keep playing.

GhostofDatthaw · October 2019

PC NA it's horrible, I spend most my time in IC, and when I go into cyrodill I rage, skills are sluggish at best, and it's horrible.

GhostofDatthaw · October 2019

I genuinely do not understand how people can play in keep fights.

Cirantille · October 2019

I am sick of everyone freezing in the middle of a fight : (
It looks very creepy lol

Zer0_CooL · October 2019

Avoid the zergs. But yes there's an issue that causes loadingscreens to all players around a keep when flags switch. And thats existing for an eternity.

Alienoutlaw · October 2019

its the same on the PC-EU can be mid fight and hit a load screen even for a fraction of a second, if not blocking either dead or end up sliding across the floor until i have to Alt-F4

Kagukan · October 2019

Cyrodiil is great when it works properly. I think that is what keeps most of us coming back. Those rare moments when the game is running smooth during large fights.
When it is running like crap though it is frustrating. Last night I was disconnected 5 times within 2 hours. After that last disconnect though things ran smoothly again. Very odd because nothing really changed. Same people in the same big fights. I have noticed this before also. Its almost like some people get a priority connection and that is determined when you log on.

MinarasLaure · October 2019

Cyrodiil got worse in the last few months.
I've always crashed near big zergs and when a keep is ua by both factions, but lately even small scale fights are laggy as he'll.
Skills won't work or they work with a good 5 seconds delay.
Taking enemy resources on your own is the most stressing thing I've ever experienced, I've always lagged badly.
I'm playing from Australia so I know it's not ideal already, but seriously, the last couple of months it has been unplayable.
I do log in every morning and I do get into cyro....just to go back to pve zones after half an hour.
It makes me angry cause I like the game and its PvP and I want to play it, but everytime I try it's just a constant fight with the constant lag/crashes.
I guess I'll have to play archage unchained until the end of the first quarter 2020.

WacArnold · October 2019

80% is unplayable due to lag and the other 20% is unplayable because 99% of the map is useless. There are only people at direct paths to keeps from keeps at keeps or at resources. For the most part cyrodiil is empty unless your going from a keep to a keep. They need to get people moving and utilize more of the map, idk if it would have an effect but maybe if 99% of the pop was not clustered so close lag would be less.

1. Add traveling supply npc's that require escorts, short distances (farm to keep) & long distances keep to keep.

2. Create hold/control points worth more than a fast travel.

3. Create a pve element where you have to gather objects to summon a "living" weapon...like the female elf in the video...kinda like WOW AV used to be.

Loading screens ruin the game I have seen my alliance get wiped in keep capture I’m talking 20 or more players just frozen because of the loading screen.

Blinkin8r · October 2019

I got a random loadscreen in Blackboot yesterday while carrying a scroll. One of those flashy loadscreens that only last a couple seconds. When it went away my character was stuck. No skill bar. Couldn't open menu. Couldn't move. In first person for no reason. Just stuck there looking at this fat khajiit of a seige merchant. Had to relog and drop the scroll.

Sergykid · October 2019

isn't it weird that during a keep fight, you and maybe another one have these problems, but the rest 100 players are fighting without problems? maybe the problem is at u not at the game

Except...y’know the whole part where...it’s NOT just individuals....lol smh....

mairwen85 · October 2019

Only 80%... Quite specific when most hyperbole estimates 99.9999%

Which 80% precisely? I need it broken down for clarity.

The question is what did zos do to make the lag and lockscreens so bad? and How can we fix it?
Because I remember pretty well back in Haderus we had double this pop and it was more playable than what we have today

*I dont like seeing any faction wipe because they dc'd its ridiculous it ruins good fights

Not when the rest of my group exclaims at the same time "oh no load screen".

But...Amazon's New World PvP mmorpg that canceled with the following announcement of a partnership with Leyou/Athlon Games (Warframe) to make a New LOTR mmorpg really has me positive for this genre & pvp.

New World was a open world pvp sandbox mmo, & early gameplay looked great, with a few tweaks could easily have a LOTR face. PC & console.

Competition will be good for ZOS's ESO.

Possibly pve dragon event pulled bodies away, idk? So odd.

Edit: Voice chat didn't work at all.
