Mayhem has started and…

dcrush · July 24

I’ve already been booted from the server three times in the last thirty mins. Ping is all over the place. I had zero issues until the event started.

I'll log in and see what my experience is like. I was having terrible ping for a solid year but has been flawless for me the last few months.

Are you having issues just sitting behind the gate or is it in fights or both?

It's far too warm to sit and game for me. Events should start again in the autumn. But that's just my opinion.

Logging in already having issues, up to a great start

Tried to queue for cyrodiil twice, queue position went down as normal for a while then got stuck both times. Turned game off. Might try again later.

Wow, that's shocking. No one could have anticipated this.

Played for about fifteen minutes. Ballgroups and general lag were so bad I just left. I'll be back for the next vengeance.

I haven't had any problems yet on PCEU with getting kicked, but I got stuck in the queue for my home campaign (Gray Host), it went from 18 to 12 and then would not go any lower than 12. I was queuing back and forth between IC and a low-pop Cyro campaign to hand in my district dailies, so I don't know whether queuing for alt campaigns while still queued for my home campaign was the issue, but after being stuck at 12 for nearly an hour I just tried to leave the queue and join it again to wait while running around the sewers, but it said I wasn't queued for that campaign-- and then was stuck on "leaving queue."

I finally just logged out altogether, and am anout to log back in and try again.

Edit: Now I'm able to rejoin the queue-- at position 59. I'll just run around the sewers and avoid joining any more queues to see if I can finally get in to my home campaign.

Edit 2: And now I've been stuck at position 24 for over half an hour. It's looking like the queue isn't functioning correctly.

Edit 3: And again, I decided to leave the queue and just rejoin it, only to be told that I'm not queued for that campaign, and once again it is stuck on "leaving queue." I didn't join any other queues during this time, I've just been sitting in the sewers waiting for the queue to pop. So it has nothing to do with queuing for an alt campaign while also waiting in the queue for a poo-locked campaign. It just decides that you are no longer queued for the campaign and won't update your position at all. The only way to actually leave the queue and try again seems to be to log out and log back in.

On the Xbox.. no problem getting on the servers, hardly anyone around. There was someone victimising some poor soul in Imperial City. Name was something like Hits like a wet Noodle, he was dropping like one too. Poor sausage. We picked him up several times, but the other guy obviously considered him a super easy target.

The main issue in Imperial was no heavy shot. Couldn't fire our staffs at all for a while. That was fun! Not!

I'm not surprised with all the console players we have on PC now. The end game community seems to be consolidating around PC. On PC/NA we're even getting a lot of PC/EU players now. I mean, there has always been some EU players on NA, but it's more common now.

I played at about 10AM PST for an hour before I had to go. It was still pretty early in the day, but undoubtedly quiet and dead for Midyear Mayhem. During past events it was lively no matter what time I logged on.

I didn’t have performance issues cause almost no one was in Imperial City or even Blackreach. I didn’t bother queuing for Grey Host. The few fights I found weren’t very fun. The people without good skill lines get 2 shot, and then if I encountered a Restoring Light user it felt like Elder Tanks Online again.

It’s clear that PvP is still losing players and it’s in such a bad state that not even double AP is enough to get people to want to hop in. The turnout gets lower each time. I personally won’t be back on for the rest of the event. We need serious changes.

Booted just now, me and my husband, together at the same time

I was on around noon, didn't have any problem in the lower-pop IC event campaign, or Cyro 7-day. But, I have a set routine for Whitestrake to be in and out as quick as I can, only there for the tickets.

That's romantic by ESO standards.

I finally got into Gray Host on PCEU yesterday afternoon (EDT zone) and it was populated enough that when I went into a delve to kill a boss for the AP boost, it took several attempts before I was allowed to exit the delve. And the queue to get in varied from 20 to 55 minutes. My first three attempts to queue were doomed; I kept getting ghosted by the queue-- not sure how else to describe it, my position in the queue would freeze and refuse to budge for half an hour or more, then if I tried to leave the queue so I could just queue all over again the game told me I wasn't queued for the campaign and would get stuck on the message that it was removing me from the queue. I had to keep logging out of my character and logging back in to clear the issue with the queue, only to go through the whole process again. It wasn't until my fourth attempt that I finally got in. And then I spent several hours in Cyrodiil. It was fun, although performance would degrade near enemy players who were grouped together doing group heals and group buffs.

I didn't log onto PCNA until much later in the evening, and after I took care of other things-- including the six daily Imperial City district quests, which were brutal because of large groups of enemy players-- I had almost no trouble getting into Gray Host despite there being a queue. I ran around for several hours capturing resources, helping capture or defend keeps, and of course getting killed by enemy players. It was a lot of fun, and I made a lot of AP, much more than I'd made on PCEU, like by a factor of 10 or more.

I'm looking forward to more action today after I get some sleep!
