Stadia's as good as dead anyway. I'm surprised anybody's still bothering with it.

Really, really bad idea. If you are going to cater to the Stadia crowd then yo need to carve out its own server space.

I just read that eso is launching on the stadia and that it will share the pc Megaservers. The same pc Megaservers that literally all week have demonstrated that they can't even handle the player load they currently have?

Am I missing something?

The PC NA megaserver, which is less populated than the EU megaserver. I am more concerned about the change in the patch frequency due to the fact that PCs have to wait while Google likes the patch.

What I'm trying to figure out is how anyone will reliably be able to play via Stadia, since your connection isn't directly to the server but instead the cloud is acting as the middleman. Won't that make the already painful lag even worse?

I agree. I could see playing a single player game on Stadia. That should be no different from playing any online game. For an MMO or other online game, the internet delay is just going to be longer. IMHO, the only way that will not be a disagreeable increase is if the Stadia servers are located with the ESO servers right in the same data centers.

They literally announced they can't patch the game because Stadia will only allow them to patch once every two weeks

Since the ESO client is running on Stadia, they care about client patches, which we tend to get about once a week until we get close to the next update. Now, it will be every other week. Maintenance on the servers that does not require that the clients be updated should not be a problem with Stadia any more than it is today, without Stadia.

Edit: added coffee

What Stadia crowd? Nobody is going to get into Stadia just to play ESO from scratch. I suspect the majority of Stadia usage will be existing players playing ESO on the sly at work or whatever. If the server wasn't shared, I wouldn't be even remotely (hehe) interested in Stadia.

Wait, Stadia ? That thing is still alive ?

Anyway, you will have input lag ON TOP of ESO EU server lag.... gg

So it'll just be like everybody else's experience anyway? ZOS has shown it doesn't seem to care about poor performance.

I'm trying to see the bright side of this new patching schedule. Perhaps ZOS will have to put more effort into dealing with server issues if they have Google breathing down their necks.

Just wait until Google orders the end of addons...lol

Were you expecting a stadia only server? If so it would be an absolute ghost-town.

stadia seems to have big issues as is reading the reviews so i doubt this will be a pleasent experience but we will see...I wish eso would go with gforce now which seems to be the better service from everything I have read...
