PvP test seems to be making things worse.

If it weren't for the game-play being better without procs this testing would be a disaster for performance.

When skills work procs are not a big problem. I can avaid people with proc at 4am in 2 pm we boss stand and can not do anything. He can not hit me with procs i can not kill him with HA and skills. Both do not press.

Procs can be cleansed (veteshrain can not...)-if skills work you just remove it and 10 seconds enemy can do nothing.If you can not press skills you stand with proc dots all the time - it really is a pain.

same issues as normal, nothing has changed much, no lag most of the time, when ball groups turn up, thats when lag spikes happen

I've been having trouble using transitus because keeps aren't loading on the map when I interact with the transitus shrine, making it difficult to move around.

Also I don't seem to be getting ROTW mails...

The way the double AP is calculated is affecting the ROTW earn rate. At lvl 50 (or so) you get a ROTW every 20K ap, but the double ap bonus is not being added to the ROTW earn rate. You need to earn 20K ap with out adding the bonus. For example, you earn 22K ap + the bonus of 22K ap and end up with 44K ap total. You will only get 1 ROTW not 2.

Im ok with that.. Its full of trash anyway

IDK, I made 1.5 mil last month off the RotW satchels. It is only worthless if you look at TTC pricing, there are apparently some popular builds that use a couple of those sets and folks pay up for it. No idea why TTC thinks something is only worth 500 gold when I can sell it for 30-50k.

Anyone saying there is no lag in greyhost during those huge fights must be just zerging and firing off one skill that normally doesn't have problems in lag.

I could not bar swap efficiently, jabs was not working right, beam was not firing off, sweep was not triggering efficiently, etc. If I was in a huge zerg and just heavy attacked and threw a breath of life, i'd have thought it was fine.

Pretty much this. Latency lag seems a bit better but skill lag seems worse, if that makes sense. Like input lag or something. Magplar skills took three tries to get to go off. Mist form barely worked. This was in 3-3-3 bars ravenwatch. (Anyone wanna guess who red and blue were fighting? LoL) Anyway, yea I dunno zos. I’d take the “other” lag over skills not going off. Can you guys just invest in servers. Really feels like you guys are dangling the carrot in front of us until it’s over. HARDWARE UPGRADES. YOU know you need it. WE know you need it. Also, buff magdk. Balance wise, just, LoL.

synnerman · February 2021

I have participated in every test and the latest was ok when "pop locked" but as prime time hit and bigger fights started it was probably worse than any of the previuos tests. The only one that consistantly improved performance for me was test No 1. As for this test then im afraid its a big thumbs down from me and 3 weeks way too long . I assume its 3 weeks as we cant have patch maintenance every week as stadia allegedly dont like it so it would have to be 2 weeks and that would then probably mean that the new update on the pts atm could not be done a week after that as planned...so 3 weeks of this

You can cleanse the vate staff.

I played on Grey Host during pop lock yesterday morning, and later in the evening during peak time. Neither of those times did I have lag and desync to the extent of before the tests. The only time there was actual lag and I had really bad misfires is when a player starts wielding the hammer - then it's back to pre-test performance. I was even able to LA weave when I was off by myself farming PVErs in towns.

I think a lot of the variation of "performance" in PC-NA has to do with the severe weather that's moving through the US right now. There's some ISPs that are rerouting, causing many excessive node hops, latency, and packet loss to prevent complete loss of service. I am fortunate to live in an area where this is not happening, and I am experiencing the best Cyro connection performance that I ever have.

Gilvoth · February 2021

for me the lagg is now "Worse"
and my Ping "was" (before the test) normaly stayed around 210 constantly
my ping "now" during this test is about 375 constantly

jekyto · February 2021

Same, cyro is now just unplayable for me. Skills have too long delay, ppl move as slide show, ty for the "skillful experience"

gatekeeper13 · February 2021

Gameplay is awesome without proc sets but performance is very bad at peak hours. Lag and desyncs skyrocket whenever an enemy group is close.

I was trying to capture Fare, a dc group was inside and the moment it came close everything froze and I got kicked from server. Got back in only to spawn dead in Fare and kicked from server again. I tried to log in, got to character screen and got kicked for a 3rd time with the message "lost lobby connection".

Marcus_Thracius · February 2021

Haha , cyro and lag - its hot doodoo as usual
Run as much tests as you want , only new servers will do the trick

illusiouk · February 2021

I'm in the UK and I play on PC NA, Gameplay was playable with next to no lag.

zvavi · February 2021

it lags like hell, but all 3 cyro are capped at prime time xd

Stridig · February 2021

Performance is the same for me as it normally is. Most things worked most of the time. The quality of fights though makes all the difference for me. Good players are still good and bad players are now bad players that are easy to kill. Proc heals and proc damage have no place in Cyrodiil. My opinion of course.

coop500 · February 2021

To be fair if you think about it, the servers are under more load than usual now because more people want to test the changes, VS before when only the diehards were playing? If that makes sense.

Xarc · February 2021

the gameplay is better, by far.
But really laggy with many players. Unplayable and very frustrating

This is true, but ZOS likes cashing the checks from the bad players as much as they like cashing the checks from the good players. Don't look for them to start thinning out the player base any time soon.

Totally agree with you

Next test => No procs, and groups limited to 12 and group heals only.

If that does not change then there code is 1 big giant pile of spaghetti coded by lemmings.

um, that spaghetti code thing was confirmed what, 5 years ago!?!?! Where U been?

yeah, I have doubts about their current technical staff, and the aged hacked up Hero engine, and the persistence in the use of TCP. Come one, come all...

Drakenheim · February 2021

The lag is worse than I've seen for months.

Why is this being tested for 3 weeks??

vgabor · February 2021

PCNA greyhost: heavy lag at keep battles. The fights itself are better without procs sets, but performance not.

It's very likely that they made other, unannounced changes (performance related) that they are testing in conjunction with the removal of procs. And also possible they have three weeks worth of backside changes to try out. It would certainly explain why some folks are reporing better performance, and some worse.... depending on how their set ups are responding to the different changes.

UntouchableHunter · February 2021

Lag is even worst to me, I really don't understand what is the problem.
