The Lag & Performance

The lag is happening in zones where there is nothing going on. Insane. I was doing the main story line in Summerset during the Mid-year Mayhem event. Everyone is in Cyrodiil. Meanwhile the lag in Summerset was so bad, it gave me vertigo. Now I am doing the main story line in Wrothgar. Again. Nobody is here. It is sparsely populated in terms of players. I just experienced an NPC running around the courtyard in circles -- literally circles around the courtyard-- to deliver me a message from the King Kurog. I am standing still the whole time. Insane.

The lag is insane.
The game's performance has gotten worst.
Insane.

    Thats propably because they used the ressources they normally use for PvE in PvP, thats why PvP was very fluent during the event and directly after that had garbage performance again. They just can't support PvE and PvP at the same time.

    What pvp event were you participating in lol? While I will agree performance in Cyro during the event was better than it had been days prior, and better than it is again now, I wouldn't call it good. There were still tons of little load screens, skills not firing, rubber banding, disconnects, zombie walking etcetera.

    Yeah, as much as I love Cyrodiil I haven't been able to seriously play in months. I almost had Emp near the beginning of lockdown but after playing every day for a full week the poor performance burned me out and killed my desire so I quit playing even though I could have got it if I had kept going.
    PvP is just in a very sad state. I still give in to the urge and try to play every couple of weeks but I get frustrated with performance and quit after a half hour or so.

    Correct it's always the next patch or maintenance improving things, then usually the same problems are improved and some old and new ones appear, it takes time for things to get back to the level before the patch and then it's already time for new patch and features. They are aware and will be looking into it, there won't be any magical bullet to fix things over night again, servers will still be holding up well overall, soon...however no eta...

    We’ve waited a year. This was T H E performance update. Actually - the 25 was. But 25 just poured gasoline smack down in the middle of a burning house.

    Have you noticed in na on pc the zone chat being dead. Maybe it is the zones I frequent. Today I logged out because of how dead the game felt.

    I started on Xbox EU, I remember the Cyrodiil performance was supposed to be somekind of priority already in 2016, after the lagtastic Midyear Mayhem 2016 edition on EU I thought next year the 2017 Mayhem edition will surely be much better experience after they've had a full year to improve the performance. Well now year 2020 July my Xbox EU cp 1575 account has been completely stuck for 1 year, 4 months and 5 days, most likely it won't be ever fixed and quite expensive account is trashed just like that like nothing serious ever even happened. I've played for about year on Xbox NA now mostly pvp, NA prime times Cyrodiil isn't really too enjoyable with this current supposed almost fixed performance, battlegrounds matches start with very unbalanced numbers like 3v3v4 or 2v3v4, players quit or crash very fast and there's very little teamwork in matches overall. I don't expect much any improvements anymore, lessons have been learned over the past years, it's reasonable to be patient, but eventually the patience turns into blind dumbness when things go worse overall and the same phrases like "we are looking into it" are repeated year after year.

    I've played other games more lately and think about quitting ESO completely daily, it simply feels wrong to pay for the ESO+ membership under these circumstances anymore and for me it's impossible to play without the craftbag. It's not like I want to quit, I sure would like to continue playing if things just worked as they should, it simply feels bad to throw everything away, so much money and time spent on this game. Xbox EU cp 1575 and Xbox NA cp 1257 accounts just thrown to trashes, all the precious characters and expensive houses wasted, simply madness. What amazes me the most is the overall attitude and the almost complete lack of interest in actually taking care of the customers and keeping them playing and paying, spamming the troubleshoot list, removing nonconstructive comments and closing threads very lightly isn't that in my opinion. All this has been quite depressing indeed, playing video games shouldn't be like this.

    Well, I wasn't holding my breath either really, I didn't expect much in the way of improvements but I also wasn't expecting things to go belly-up like they did, either. My point in that was addressing that we'd been told "next patch will bring improvements just be patient" before, and not only did it not improve things for a lot of people, for many it broke things and made them worse. Once burned twice shy and all that.

    It would be nice if their actions could come a lot closer to meeting their promises, that is for sure.

    The sad part is we know they can fix many of the performance issues because they just did for the MYM event. But now that the event is over we are back to unplayable performance in end game content.

    I've played in every Mayhem events on Xbox, before Wrathstone on EU and after on NA server, before 2 last events it's been always a kind of relief the events ended and the performance got clearly better, mostly of course because many players only played during the event for the double alliance points and other daily rewards and immediately disappeared when it ended, also many regular Cyrodiil players usually play quite much and take some break or play less few weeks after the event because of all the exhaustion due to the lagtastic event experience and loading screens. After the last two events the overall performance has got worse after the event, I was very curious after the first one how it was the first time when the performance goes worse and back to the normal state suddenly when the event ended, I thought it could have been some one time accidental happening and needed to see if it repeated after the next event, once could be accidental but twice not so much anymore. I haven't played much at all in Cyrodiil during the prime times on Xbox NA after the event yet and 1-2 bar times won't show how the game really works when there's more action overall, I'll check next week more. This is very alarming and clearly shows the performance can be improved, it's just a matter if there's an actual will to do so, this seems to be quite selective indeed.

    This is exactly what I did after MYM in February when Cyrodiil performance went from fine to unplayable right after the event ended. First thing I did was ask all my gamer friends what they were playing and then I started purchasing and spending my time on those games instead.
