no cp campaign had hardly any lag. I wonder if its all the CP being calculated.

Damn it. Think of the happiness if banishing procs actually helped.

Well, maybe the CP rework will have an effect. They did say they did it with an eye toward reducing calculations.

None of these tests will "work" because they are not the fundamental problem. ZOS is testing reducing game functionality to mask the fundamental problem.

But NO the cp2.0 changes will not improve performance because they did not consistently implement changing percentages to flat permanently applied stat sheet values. They still have percentage changes that must be continously recalculated all over the place in cp2.0.

Are you playing on a campaign with (many) ball groups and during a time when said ball groups run in Cyrodiil?

B/c we made the same experience yesterday.
- pop locked; large scale fights; only minor lags
- ball groups enter the stage; massive lags
- ball groups leave again; back to minor lags only

ZOS admitted long ago that ball groups by spamming huge numbers of spells simultaneously in a small space overwhelm the server.

Just look at one of these ball group streams. You can see 24 buffs+ on a single player plus all their offensive buffs.

One solution would be to allow grouping but no group buffs in PvP. Allow ally healing but only single target. The purpose of grouping would then solely be to coordinate movements. So the ball groups would still have their discord. They could even still coordinate their proxi's. But they wouldn't be able to have 8 radiating regens plus innumerable other buffs per player spamming the server.

This would balance the game further and reduce server strain
