EU Server Performance During/After Midyear Event

Shanan · February 2020

Hey guys,

is it just me and my subjective perception that the performance during the Midyear Mayhem Event was significantly better?
Like they upgraded the server for the Event to show everyone for marketing purposes that everything is optimized and is running well.

The next day after the event was finished i noticed extreme lags in cyrodil again. I couldnt use any skills...etc.

Just today had same discussion going in one of my guilds, seems like it might be the case

i noticed this last time too, probably because of the inadequate server capacities, which were probably upgraded during the event.

Happens every single time at Midyear Mayhem. Nothing to see here, just move along people.

not the first days though (crashing and bootings from the server every 20 minutes)

but yeah, performance was a little better except for the annoyance of over9k queues

Yes, its real.

I'm playing cp campaign on PC/EU and the day after the event ended, the server was worse than ever. Not it was anything like good during the event , but at least SOME skills made it into the game when pressing a button. Ever after Monday night it was the usual *** again: skills graying out for no reason, cc break not working, cc immunity not giving immunitiy, health desyncing, incoming damage stacking up in the server calculation row until it was being pushed through as one massive, instant killing-blow.

Everybody noticed and complained in zonechat as well (or asked whether anybody else had the same issues). PVP population dwindled by another 20-30 percent after that, ppl were just leaving a game that is not playable at all.

The only good thing I see in this that if clearly proves that ZOS could backup the PC/EU server with more power, increasing its performance. They just dont want.

I totaly agree with that what Shanan wrote. We had some really nice fights at Cyro without huge lags/spikes during Midyear event,....but now, it seems like you turned down the performance once again.

I dont know, it feels like your software quality assurance team is testing performance and all related topics on their own testservers instead of the liveserver. And if they do test on the liveserver, they prob check the performance while staying in bruma all the time.

Maybe we should consider creating a reddit post to wake up in that case in the same way they did for warcraft 3...i am not pissed, mean or salty in anyway, anymore.

...its just SAD.
