Cyrodill defector

brada · April 2014

I can play pve for hours without problems but every time I go to my campaign, every 2 - 5minutes game crashes or disconnects me, even ui stops working sometimes. It's not playable any more for me after last few updates.
Please do something with this because Im almost done with pve and I've been waiting for a long time to go in campaign for serious.

Let me give you few examples from today:
-I entered campaign, running to keep for 2-3mins, we are attacking, get to keep, everything just stops, game disconnects me
-went back in (after 5mins spent), oh look we're getting into keep, going to the flag, game crashes.
-going back in (another 5mins spent), ui is not working, cant crouch sprint nor fire. restarting the game.
-going back in(another 5mins lost), i appeared near enemy player, surprised me, and died, pressed E to re-spawn, and look, suddenly Cyrodill loading screen, why? who knows
-15mins later still loading screen, cant get IN, cant get OUT, cant go PVE...

I think Im going to call it a day, and done with eso for today. This is not rage-quit, I'm a grown up man and I have other real life responsibilities and with a little free time I have, I won't spent it like this.
ZOS you should fix this issue asap, not quests, not bugs, because you can still play that way, but this.

EDIT:
I think It's just too bad that I feel lucky when I finally get back in just so I could just run the hell out of Cyrodill

You're right, Cyrodiil is completely unplayable for me as well. If I don't disconnect within the first few minutes of entering Cyrodiil, then I run into an invisible mob that kills me, only for them to spawn a few seconds after I've died. No, I don't have a crappy PC, and lowering the graphic settings doesn't make any difference whatsoever.

You might be victim of the large group bug.

I have the exact same problem everytime I join a large group. Game gets laggier and laggier, eventually becomes unplayable or plain crashes. As long as I stay ungrouped or in a normal group, everything is fine.

Ultimatly not game breaking as large groups aren't that important in Cyrodiil, most of them are half afk or completely unorganized.

Just stay away from grouping, I know that sounds dumb but honestly until they fix this grouping system bug I'd say stay away. Won't be easy to know where a defense is happening or an attack is starting but ask the group leader if he'd post in zone chat so you can follow. I usually don't group because of this bug and I can play in Cyrodiil fine.

I encounter this issue without being in a group though.

I noticed that it happens to me when the battles get very large, or a huge swarm of enemy players decide rush at one time.

I just don't go in there during prime time hours anymore.

I didn't knew that all thou I'm not entirely sure, but I think I haven't been in any group today.
I know there are a lot of issues they have to address but this one is absolutely the biggest one, because pvp isn't playable at all, at least for me.
I appreciate the work they do and I know its not just like that, swing with a magic wand and puff, problems are gone.
Pvp in this game is absolutely great and at least for me that's what makes this game stand out in a crowd. That's the reason why they should focus on fixing Cyrodill first to be sure pvp performs ever smoothly and then considering addons and other content.

Plain and simple: characters should not be aloud to log out in cyrodill. If a character does they should be returned to thier home city. This would help with people trying to retreave thier characters/over crowding.

Agreed. I've already wrote about this on forums because I was unable to login for whole day because my character's last position was in cyrodill. That's why I feel lucky when I enter back in just so I can quickly move it back to pve map
