ZoS do you have any plans to upgrade your systems so that game will actually work when Greymoore launches? Just that I know if I should buy it or not. Game is at the moment unplayable in raids if you are not aware, and there will be huge spike in players then.

    Here's what they've said most recently on their planned fixes for performance: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/56681

    Yes, the problems started to become even worse after the step of that plan when we had to install client again some month ago..

    My forecast is game will be unplayable (from competitive point) in nearest months. I think September will be a good time to give Greymoore a try (you will also see what will be nerfed in U27, so you won't waste your time farming sets/mats).

    I'm not saying what they're doing is working, just providing an answer to your question. You asked what they're planning to do and I showed you their answer.

    Whether they're on the right track and will get any noticable improvement from their planned changes is a whole other conversation, and one I'm not qualified to have beyond saying I haven't noticed any difference since they started all this.

    If you want to have some idea of how well performance will be after Greymoor, you should play it on the PTS and encourage as many people as possible to play it. After all, the number of players on the PTS will most likely be a lot less than the number of players on the live servers, so you want to encourage a lot of players to get on the PTS at the same time as you. It certainly won't compare to what things will be like on the live servers after Greymoor, but it's a start.

    They should announce that they are fixing the issues BEFORE launching Greymoor.

    It would be a real slap in the face if they don't do it before hand. What is grey is the area communication is at.

    You have to remember that outside of Cyrodiil and Trials the game runs fine for most players, including on PC EU. If it weren't, the game's population would be a lot less, including in Cyrodiil. I don't diminish in any way the problems that some players have with the game, but they aren't typical of the experience everyone has running it and they have addressed the issues in their recent website update.

    Not true as PVE 4 man content also has had horrible latency past 5pm (PC EU).
    So typical game play which we can do is housing, rp (real roleplay not this term for casual players) and questing, great.

    Literally entire group had ability delay in Darkshade 2 last night, PC NA. Ping was fine, frames were fine. Absolutely trash experience. So its getting into the small-scale now too.

    edit: which means anything that doesn't involve combat is fine.... rename it ESO: Housing Simulator? Quests arent considered combat. I can bash my face on a keyboard and itll get done by accident.

    If you're playing this game to be "competitive" , you really need to find something else to do because you'll be disappointed

    Players that know how the game operates notice the same problems even in overland as well as end game.

    The smartest move here is to NOT buy Greymoor and wait some time before anything stabilizes.


    the game is an unacceptable state, and frankly, they are not deserving of our money as of now.
