Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – April 8, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 6:00PM EDT (22:00 UTC)
We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.

After Proc ban, what else will be banned from PVP in Cyrodill to improve lag?

Bans so far:
- Large group play banned to improve lag >>> Still zegs of 40-60 players roam Cyrodill, lag is still the same in Cryodill
- Proc sets ban to improve lag >>> Only 8 sets gameplay (ESO alpha classic), lag is still the same in Cyrodill

So looking ahead, what else can ZOS ban from the game to improve lag?
- Certain class bans >>> Certain classes are OP, some will be banned to improve lag
- Dynamic population scaling >>> If one faction controls too much of one map, players will be kicked from PvP to improve lag
- Certain skill bans >>> Certain skills are OP, some skills will be disabled to improve lag
- Light and Heavy attack bans >>> Heavy and Light attacks are OP, these will be disabled to improve lag
- Bar swap ban >>> Swapping bars is OP, this will be disabled to improve lag
- Healing ban >>> Healing is OP, this will be disabled to improve lag
- Armor ban >>> Armor is OP, this will be disabled to improve lag

What else can ZOS do to improve lag in Cyrodill?

    ZOS should have updated the servers as the game aged. It's like trying to run ESO on a dual core CPU from 15 years ago. Run the latest servers with the horse power to run the game for us and most of this will not be an issue.

    First they will ban magsorcs, because they are current meta and some players are crying about it, then other classes, then all PVP players, because PVE players can't get their skyshards in Cyro. Role Play simulator in 2022.

    Procs were not banned to improve performance.... this is false information... procs where banned due to a majority of players saying they enjoy the no proc more than proc..... in all honesty this situation could have been avoided lasts year around greymoor's launch when zos buffed the heck out of proc sets..... players warned of the incoming proc meta but was told that they have no idea what they are talking about and thus procs launched as broken as they are today...... that led to players complaining about how broken they are to the point of zos banning all proc sets straight up..... if only procs where not allowed to reach this op state

    They'll ban attacking other players soon, which no doubt will fix all the lag in PvP. :open_mouth:

    These "ban"s are not for improving performance. They was during the tests but not any longer. Stop misliding people.

    Special rules campaigns are here to stay. As someone on Console, My procs didn't do all that much in Cyro anyway with all the healing and tankiness going on.

    They were much more effective in BGs and IC, where they are still available to everyone.

    The interesting thing is that they are keeping the no proc not because of the lag improvements, which there were none, but rather because the players liked it better than the proc-fest that was currently happening to some of them. So in reality, blame your fellow players for not liking your strats.

    I personally noticed some improvement in lag and skill delay. And I was one of those who were ranting constantly about server performance.

    But in battles with lots of players.... No... They still remain a lag-fest.

    The reason we saw no big improvement is because they brought back crosshealing together with disabling proc sets.

    Maybe it's a first step towards dedicated PvP gear. I'm wondering what they do about Cyrodiil sets. I'd expect nothing. but maybe I'm wrong.

    But, but my seducer set wasn't hurtin nobody. Mythics? They basically took our money then took back the product we paid money for. Alot of players only bought those expansions\DLCs so they could use stuff in Cyrodiil. Im not just talking about the op proc sets Im talking about more then half the game. What about crafters? We wasted time and money on crafting stations, researching etc. Its a slap in the face, so I slapped my wallet closed for the time being. I log in kill some folks get bored log out. No need for PVE anymore or crafting, already got the sets. I'll just buy potions.

    Next they'll get rid of all the sets because having too much stamnia/magicka is OP.

    I find it amusing that all the current PvP gear is banned. :astonished:

    I'm amazed they haven't tried removing cosmetics from players yet.

    Everyone being forced to wear an identical, color-themed Armor based on their alliance, and has their mount replaced with a very simple, also color-themed Horse.

    That seems right up the ZOS bandage philosophy.

    Sorry but wrong....Cyrodiil population cap used to be 2000 and now its 400ish

    Keeps used to have level 5 upgrades and now 2

    Resources used to have doors and towers were destructible

    Critters roamed the land

    Groups from 24 to 12

    I'm sure a few more I forgot about over the years
