PvP Cyrodiil review one week after patch March 2

First the expected : we don't crash every 10 minutes like the week before

Second the bad :
- we crash every 1-2 hours. The screen freezes and the game must be alt-tab killed. This is better than every 10 minutes but still totally unacceptable.
- the skills fire when they want. Sometimes with one key hit , sometimes with 5 and sometimes you die before they fire.
- the lag and FPS seem worse than before the "performance" patch
- Breaking CC delays are especially Deadly
- the loading screens are as fast (or as slow) as they were before the patches

Finally while it is better than last week when the game was literally unplayable in Cyrodiil , it is still MUCH worse than before "the performance" patch.

It would be civil and constructive if a Community manager informed us whether these issues are being adressed and when may we APPROXIMATELY hope to have at least the performance we had before the patches.

    They've posted in a number of other threads regarding the issues. I will summarize here the content of those posts:

    1. They are aware of the issues.
    2. They have no idea what is causing the issues.
    3. They have no idea how to fix the issues.
    4. There is no timetable in place due to #2 and #3 above.

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting.

    ZOS, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here.

    Greetings! We've closed this thread due to its non-constructive nature.

    It's not just alt tab crashes. Yesterday the only way I could close my crashed game was by restarting my PC.

    Tonight I couldn't teleport back to Auridon using the Eastern Elsweyr wayshrine. Once I got an Auridon loading screen, but found myself back in Cyrodiil with yet another message that my transfer had failed. To be clear I was attempting to teleport to the Vulkhel Guard Wayshrine, not the inn room. After about ten tries I gave up and logged without doing my writs as planned. I'm NOT a happy camper.

    Both incidents were in the No CP campaign (I think the new name is Raven something) on PC EU.

    At this point the only reason I'm continuing to play is that I would miss my guildies terribly.

    Unless I am mistaken they never acknowledged the freezing bug.
    Actually neither did they for the skill delay issue.

    I think that I am more annoyed/frustrated by the lack of CONSTRUCTIVE and CIVIL communication by the Community managers than by the performance problems themselves.

    Does everybody realize that it is now 2 weeks that people who are paid to COMMUNICATE with the Community of players did only one thing - posting that they removed some posts because they were not constructive or civil.
    We just went through what is probably the worst week por the players in ESO history and all they have to say is that some of the players were not civil or constructive enough.

    How went already the saying about the straw and the beam ?

    I’d rather them not further break the game if they think maintenance would make combat worse.

    I don't have crashes anymore, being in Cyrodiil A LOT this week (8+ hours per day for emperor). If you still have crashes it could actually be add-on related? Or class/skill-related? Even in big groups/zergs I don't see players regularly going offline due to crashes, if everyone would crash every 1-2 hours this would be noticable in a 24 group running for several hours.

    Overall performance improved for me, at least fps-wise.

    Also I don't have long loading screens before, only if I go into a delve and even then the loading screen isn't several minutes long like I had before the patch sometimes. Usually my loading screens are just a few seconds, 10-15 seconds MAX and rarely.

    Lucky you. However, I use no addons. My hard crash was as part of a group of maybe 6 when all factions were at one bar. No one else was in sight as I rode my mount to Roe. Others crashed also, although my character was some distance from them. If the problem is use of class skills, that's on ZoS. Perhaps Rapids is bugged or the hamsters can't handle the changes to mount stamina? It was also not the only crash of the play session, although it's not my impression that I have a higher than average crash rate, based on others going offline in my groups (generally of 4-12).

    I am definitely not alone having freezing crashes and I also spend most of my time in Cyrodiil
    Generally when I crash in a group, we are several to do so.

    And it is also defiitely NOT ADD-on related. Add ons are disabled in Cyrodil since lat week and everybody knows that the crashing had nothing to do with add ons whatsoever.

    Btw while I am at it, have another bug since Monday that I never had before. In dungeons, anchors or questing it happens that I can't target the dead mob or the chest and so cannot loot.
    When it happens on the last bos in a veteran dungeon where you went for the head piece, it is MORE than anoying.

    This hard crash is happening to me as well. ...not very often, maybe once every 5 hours or so, but it's a serious crash that requires the rebooting of entire PC.

    I agree...but since there’s so many problems, I was hoping for a fix or two. No maintenance means another week of the same ol’ same ol’. Man.
