It feels different somehow... I actually believe them when they say they're trying to fix it this time. Just hope the architectural change makes it through smoothly with as few bumps in the road as possible. Don't wanna sacrifice one catastrophe with another.

I might be an outlier, but performance has never been my main issue with PvP.

It's that there is just no point to Cyrodiil. The design is from 2014 and doesn't translate well into today because the game has seen too many changes.
The map is too big, because it was designed for a lot more players. Bonuses from your alliance's performance no longer affect PvE, so there's not really an incentive to do well in your campaign - nobody cares about the scoring anymore, which is dictated by night cappers anyway. Emperorship gave access to the Imperial City, but that has long gone. Besides a few cosmetics available for those gladiator tokens, there's nothing in terms of reward you'd want to go to Cyrodiil for. If you just wanted AP for whatever reason, you're better off doing BGs.

I absolutely love the free and self-directed gameplay of Cyrodiil, but most of the time I just don't find myself doing anything worth my time. Brindle is under attack!, well, so what. Keeps flip all the time anyway, and it's not like anything is lost or gained by my alliance's performance.

Hopefully once server performance is improved (hah), we can start talking about these issues.

Lmao Yes, all the 10 people on each alliance on at night are ruining the scores
Im an EP "night capper" and I only roll with one other, and we see like, no one, for ages, until we flag anything and usually don't get it. So uh, As much as we love taking the blame for everything, unfortunately that aint us.

I believe it when I see it.
