I’ve noticed that Cyrodiil and IC are absolute ghost towns. Even with the current event going on, the Steam numbers are showing less players. Hardly anybody is online on my friends list or in guilds and battlegrounds seem dead. Have the past two years of lackluster chapters started affecting the player population?
I was taking a new character through blackwood at peak time EU and had to walk away from a few world bosses because the map was void of people.
It just goes to show that Zos cannot be arrogant and think that players will just continue to play eso when it is so neglected.
Eventually something new is going to arrive and draw these players away.
Elsweyr bosses are usually packed with people on PC EU, even during mornings and afternoon.
Checking Blackwood world bosses almost 2 months after release while there is an Elsweyr event going on might not be the best indicator of population.
Neither is Ravenwatch. Ravenwatch specifically is being abandoned thanks to PTS changes; and I suspect people are also taking some downtime after Midyear Mayhem. I certainly am - and will then very likely change to Gray Host with the upcoming stuff.
It’s not just Cyro. The whole world map is lagging recently.
And yes, Blackwood was a completely failure and it’s always empty. It’s not a problem for me since I can solo all the wbs. But I understand it can be very disappointing for people who needs help.
Companions was pretty cool tho, and you can see lots of players using them.
