Cyrodiil used to be 600v600 back in the day and when I left the servers could not handle 200v200. Since MS bought everything up, has server stability gotten better? Or is it still a hot mess?

At 150v150 has it stabilized? Last few months before I left, Cyrodiil was unplayable.0 -

due to the High Ping and bad lagg (in cryodiil) it still is unplayable.

✭Battlegrounds are always playable, Cyrodiil still struggles at population cap.“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”0 -
Nanfoodle✭✭✭✭✭Guess I will check in, in another year. So many RvR fans still looking for a home and finding none.4

Is this true? Holy cow. That's low. Is there a source for that?
It's amazing how many players there are overall and how much relative work has to be done to accommodate this sub-population (of which I am one).0 -

Over the years you can see how many RvR fans have left the game because Cyro just has gotten worse. I know there is many RvR fans like me, that would return if they just fixed the server lag/capacity.3 -

✭It's been what, barely two months since Microsoft took over. People seriously expect things to get fixed within that timeframe?8 -

When they hold their Cyro yearly event the zone runs smooth as butter. This means they know what resources Cyro needs to run fine. So ya, my hope would be that MS would lend some server farm space to make Cyro run well.5 -
In short? Don´t.
Long story? Yes, but...you´ll be pissed. Sometime less, sometime more. On EU server it will be more than less.50@710 - AD PetSorc, EP MagSorc, DC Magblade PvP, DC Magplar (main ATM), EP Magden,

Aertew✭✭✭✭Supposedly microsoft will be upgrading the servers completely. Though with COVID its probably extremely difficult and they are probably waiting for all the employees to get vaccinated or something like that

✭✭It sucks the servers can't handle it but i still enjoy my BG's. They're sweatier matchups now too as I think many ditched Cyrodiil for them too.0 -

bugmom✭✭✭✭Yeah, Cyrodiil is still a hot mess. If you read back through the forums its been a painful past year where they’ve run various tests that made PvP miserable = removing proc sets, limiting group size, healers not being able to heal outside of group, cool downs on skills, increasing costs on skills, you name it, we’ve been subjected to it. Lag still there, and things still just not playable. We disbanded our PvP guild and I rarely go into Cryo anymore. Just not fun.3

I doubt Microsoft will ever be hands on with ESO. They are more interested in projects currently being developed. Doesn't make good business sense to mess with ESO.and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."0 -

✭Don't bother. Cyrodiil is stale and laggy as ever.
It's my humble opinion that they optimized the code to work on even lower hardware. I reckon they lowered the server capacity overall for Cyrodiil.
So much for the optimization... while probably true on paper, read between the lines and notice the ever decreasing pop cap together with bad performance.
And even when it works, Cyrodiil fights are stale - blob groups vs ball groups, doing stuff without bothering much who's who.Edited by maboleth on May 20, 2021 8:54PM1 -
CSose✭✭✭✭The current population cap in cyro is right at or very near 100/faction now days. Pop cap is as low as it can be now and still find fights, even in main campaign.
They reduced the population caps in cyro again with the set restrictions a couple months ago. Oh, too, there are only 19 sets allowed in cyrodiil until further notice. They have said set restrictions will be removed with Blackreach release, but as it stands now, only 19 sets allowed in cyro. And, lag and bugs are as bad as they've ever been.Edited by CSose on May 20, 2021 9:07PM3 -

✭Cyrodiil is a bit of a snooze fest these days. Constant messing around with the meta, limits on sets, reduced pops.
It got same old, same old very fast imho.
Tank meta got replaced with p2w meta.
Yup and still there is lagAt least the spelling is difficult for you.

awe388✭✭Not to mention more and more they don't even give you your monthly crowns for eso plus, personally missing 3/5 months in 2021 and customer support either gives a generated message to read the eso plus page or just no reply.0

To be fair it's been pay to win every year since summerset, eso plus used to include all yearly dlc until chapters which is fine companies need money. But you gunna tell me being able to upgrade your jewelry isn't a power increase? mythic items? companions? all paid for and not like a wow expansion cause the level cap is the same. non expansion character still get queue'd with expansion characters which means if you're a non eso plus member and you queue for battlegrounds you're at a huge disadvantage and if you don't have the chapter? you're just straight bent over. this is totally a pay to win game, no way around it.

Since they moved most things server side in update 25 (Jan 2020) the performance has gone to the worst it has ever been. Before there was only a slight delay in laggy situations now skills actually fail to go off and if they do its after a few seconds which makes pvp unplayable imo.4 -

They aren't wrong, same delay lag and lack of abilities firing in PvE as well.1 -
ThePianist✭✭✭Everyone’s experience is different. Playing in console, I have never come across a loading screen in a middle of a fight, running away from someone or chasing after someone. So I guess this is a good thing on my part.
I do see the usual gap closer loop. Someone might be stuck in a loop after using ambush, crit charge, ect...Precognition loop is always hilarious.
What I do find game breaking is the break free bug. I used to experience it in large scale battles in Cyro but now, it happens everywhere. Even in bgs. You could have full stamina, if someone stuns you, you won’t be able to break free.
Any Templar spamming toppling charge 3-4 times in a row is a break free death sentence bug. Same with mass hysteria and streak.
Snipe spamming desync still works.1
