Bad servers 90% of the time

walidd24nrb18_ESO · May 2020

For around 2 months or more, people have been addressing huge issues with the server. It's literally a gamble to get a good instance, there are several videos proving this, and yet you haven't done anything to solve it? @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_BillE @ZOS_KaiSchober @ZOS_AntonioP @ZOS_JessicaFolsom what about fixing the servers??? It's almost as if you have 100 people on crown store performance on 2 people on server performance....

Just enjoy the 10% LUL

Where did you get these statistics from?

walidd24nrb18_ESO · May 2020

It's not statistics, just a way of saying that servers are bad really often, and you have to be very lucky to get a instance that's playable, ESPECIALLY during primetime. Maybe you didn't notice because you're are RP, idk. But in raids it's absolutely atrocious.

It's the internet: simply posting stats makes them automatically true.

That's a fact in 97.5% of all cases.

Now now don't be rude to RPers. We disconnect just the same as everyone else, just from sitting in someone's home instance. It's wonderful how sitting still and just using the chat system is still too much for the servers to handle.

That's true, as is the fact that role-players don't notice what happens in instances. I know that particular point is true because I read it here.

Hi I like to make up stats on video game forums too.

Good servers 90% of the time:

For the last two months I've seen a major increase in population probably upwards of 83% increase over the last two months. During that time 3,428,569 players have had a good server 90% of the time.

Turn those frowns upside down. Someone needs to create a thread called "Selfies while lagging".

Here is an example of someone lagging and had enough time to take a selfie:

87.65% of statistics seen on forums are made up on the spot.

Since the game released there has been general issues, but if you're trying to tell me that what has been going on for the last 2 months has been there since release you're either deluded or haven't been playing the game recently.

And sorry guys for making my 90% up, let me just change it to 110% actually, since yesterday we couldn't get a single decent instance and had to call our raid because of this. Idk if it's a capacity issue or if it's just poor performance from ZOS. But this is unacceptable.

Atherakhia · May 2020

The solution is to not PvP and look somewhere else if you want a pleasant gaming experience. Cyrodiil has been bad since I started 6 months ago. But the the past 3 or 4 months it has been completley unplayable the majority of the day.

Right now in fact, 30-60 second load screens, horrendous lag, skill delay, desync issues, etc. Not a Friday, not primetime, not even last day of the campaign. This is just business as usual for ZOS.

125% of my guilds were running stuff last night just like they have for months and months probably 64 months. Another 198% of players who were playing and not on here also ran instances with an average completion rate of 2230%.

PrimusNephilim · May 2020

it's been much longer than 2 month, I've been playing for 4 years and it was a problem back then, the problems has only gotten worse over time

Love this thread. A good place to share how we all really feel without the aforementioned people intervening.

samiz1 · May 2020

You mean 99% of the time ?

shaielzafine · May 2020

It's quite bad. All I see on their Greymoor Facebook ads, as well as Twitter @s and reddit comments is about how bad the servers are, people keep saying it's super laggy and crashes a lot on top of the same old bugs (like where you can't cast any abilities, or be stuck in combat, or other things even mounts being broken). Its the first time I haven't pre-ordered a collector's edition of an expansion because they're even deleting comments and banning users on their Twitch livestreams mentioning performance, Cyrodiil, lag or servers. The Fallout76 community managers get way more hate for having a buggy game and they also communicate way more positively with their playerbase. Is it too much for them to comment on any of these issues? Or are they just gonna keep giving us Buy Greymoor ads and ignore that the game we already sub to and already bought is super janky?

Tagging community wont do anything.......... They can only say what they're approved to say when it comes to development.

Don't blame them for the game state.

I was always told that Reddit was the place where negativity is not allowed and that the forums are for salt, but holy moly that's the most upvoted thread I found there. nvm I suck at searching there

You are correct. I suck at navigation there, there are many threads with more upvotes. Still, thread had a lot of exposure.

Durham · May 2020

Did you not see last year this year was the year that they fix performance!

Chrysa1is · May 2020

I honestly don't experience any of these issues ever.

Sanguinor2 · May 2020

Queued for a bg on PC EU Primetime, was instantly reminded why I stopped doing so, 200 average ping, 999+spikes, 3 second barswap delay etc. Average ping to other games is 30.

JBNimble · May 2020

It doesn't matter if it's 90%, 70% or 50%.
In other games you say "damn, that's some lag today" maybe once what? A week? A month?
Here you can remember every single day without, to keep it unspecific, "game issues".
Still not sure if it's server problems, ISP problems or the fubar-ed game code. I think ZOS is also unsure, or they had at least tried to fix something. I doubt it's only bad servers.

Pretty much. Makes me wonder what kind of toasters people are using, or what kind of malware they have, or what kind of throttled cable systems they get their internet from...

Having said that, ESO is not the most optimized game client around, but, decently modern machines should still laugh at it.
I had 100 fps all evening last night, ping was 80-110, which has been the 'normal' value since I started playing ESO before One Tamriel.

My question was genuine. Where is the 90% coming from?

Unfortunately all game forums are turning into this. They have a few posters that stir up talking points then a few others enjoying complaining so they jump on the bandwagon. Most say they are done but yet hangout in the forums for years it's all about feeling included and getting upvoted.

You start to question their agenda they follow you around report every post and burn down every thread until it gets locked. It's rather amusing.
