like fusion reactors, good performance is ESO is just 10 years away... forever...

Or does zos have something else planned? Because i know they like to pretend that the restructure thing improved performance, but it didnt. It did for a month or so, otherwise its been business as usual. Then there was the multithread thing that seemingly went nowhere, according to the last update on this issue from matt firor last year. And when you go to the eso help page about performance and click on their performance plan you get sent to their plan from back in like 2019-2020.

im just wondering like, at what point when something has been so bad for so long do you just admit defeat? Im not a game developer, i dont write code, i know nothing about this. But what i do know is that, in most careers or businesses, if a part of your product has been working very poorly for 3 4 5 6 7 8 years, with the same type of issue, with no resolution in sight, it comes down to either it cant be fixed or we refuse to invest what is needed to fix it.

10 years is a very long time. If something is a top priority, is 10 years not enough? How about 15? Is that enough? Like if in 5 years time the issue is still the same, would that be when we admit defeat? So many questions, and no answers.

Did they make 200M USD last year? I can't see anyone in ZOS admitting defeat.

My own view is that the initial problem started with the introduction of the original Champion Point (CP) system. It got worse as every release increased the maximum CP level.

The problems abated for a while after the CP 2.0 revision, but appear to have gradually returned. CP2 is where they moved to slottable stars. This reduces the number of active perks to four per tree.

Same scenario after the 'restructure thing'. On this, my FPS increased by 400% - from average of 6 fps (yes...) to around 24. So I'm of the opinion that it actually was a successful change.

I'd say that it's likely that it can't be fixed permanently. I'd also say that any investment after 10 years, would probably be more into a replacement of ESO (V2.0) and less into temporary fixes.

Housing.

FPS has nothing to do with it. Nothing. You expect low FPS when in an area with hundreds of players running around fighting. This thread is about performance. Skill delay, input lag, rubber banding, etc.

You say they made 200m last year? Wow, thats great, all the more reason to put in the time, resources, and effort, to actually fix the problem. Instead of doing things like the restructure, saying it probably wont help performance to cover your bases, and then claiming victory when you implement it and performance is slightly better for a few weeks.

Ive said it multiple times in this thread, and ill say it again now. Matt firor says "they can do anything" it just comes down to if its worth the effort. No, i do not believe it is likely that it cannot be fixed. [Snip].

Ill ask the same question as my op. 10 years is a very long time. If something is a top priority, is 10 years not enough? Just because this issue isnt your issue, or whoevers, does not mean it should not be fixed.

We dont know what the issue is, only zos does. Ive heard interesting theories and ideas but we dont know. But i will say, ive heard fengrush bring up this idea from time to time, and its basically that when they restart the servers, or take them down for maintenance for a bit, performance is better. For a few days, then it goes back to normal. And its something i have deff noticed over the years. Which makes me wonder why its something they dont try and look into, and if it helps do it on a weekly basis.
