They need to buy better equipment.

Like I said in another post I am really enjoying the no proc set test when lag isn't present. I am making this post just to make sure the devs understand that the proc sets are not the problem. They have tested everything at this point. And, they have not found the smoking gun.

The problem is plan and simple the servers they are using cannot handle the number of people in cyrodiil when it is pop locked. You start seeing lag once you get all three factions at three bars and it just gets worse as you get to all three factions pop locked.

I don't want to see a reduction in the number of people in cyrodiil. But, if they are not going to significantly upgrade the equipment that is the only reasonable fix. At least do a test of a campaign with the pop locked at what is currently two or three bars.

The problem is not so simple, there’s a bigger issue behind it all. On paper it seems like the more people there are in Cyrodiil, the more it lags. What they need to figure out is WHY more people= more lag. When Cyrodiil first came out, it could have over 1000 players in it at once. Over the years however, this number has been reduced over and over again. So why can Cyrodiil no longer support the same amount of players that it used to? Well that’s what Zenimax needs to figure out.

Trust me, the solution is not to reduce the max amount of players allowed in Cyrodiil at a time. Zenimax has been trying this for years and it has ruined the PvP experience. Since the map is huge, you’ll find yourself riding your mount and not seeing a soul in sight. This means more PvDoor, and less PvPlayer. The current Cyrodiil Max population size is already too small which is why you see so many empty keeps and only 2 fights on the map at a time. If ZOS can figure out how to get more people on the map with less lag, Cyro would be a better place.

Lastly, in regards to the procs not causing lag... I disagree. It makes absolutely no sense that removing so many sets would worsen lag. I would understand if the lag was the same with procs vs without procs, but the lag has worsened. This leads me to believe that whatever ZOS did to disable so many 5 pc bonuses is stressing the server greatly. I mentioned this in a previous post but no one seems to consider it.

it works better at 2 bar currently, i came back after 2 years and I cant understand how its got this much worse, i was in bruma tonight no one else was there I used ambush on an ad and my skill was delayed by about 2.5 secs its beyond playable atm

I'm still placing my money on guards and npcs.
We can have 80 people scroll battles in the middle of nowhere with a playable level of lag, but let me try and solo cap a resource and it feels like the server is collapsing.

Cross healing isn’t helping. You can’t turn something off (procs) then turn on cross healing and see more lag and then somehow blindly say nope it CANT be that because YOU like the change despite it being quite obvious it’s creating a problem.

This test needs a week of no cross healing. To mimic the Cyro we had immediately before going into the test. What a *** change.

It would be like testing to see if your car drives better with new tires in the snow but instead of using the same car you change from an AWD car to a front wheel drive car.
