    Gonna be lucky if there are 50 players per faction for this.

    Why ?

    I wont be showing. It will be nothing but an exploitation filled lag filled never ending damage shield spam filled night. I know EXACTLY how its going to go down. I am going to sit this one out and let others carry the burden.

    Yes, I am pathetic, but I have had enough headaches over this PvP:/ Need to cool off for a bit.

    LA need damage shields or we would be 1 or 2 shotted. They do cast magic to maintain and we do have to give up slots that could be used to do damage in order to use them.

    At least med armor users can dodge roll 50 times and costs them no ability slots whatsoever (50 times is hyperbole, but you can roll dodge alot)

    are you seriously comparing roll dodging to damage shield stacking? One cant attack while roll dodging....

    but whatever, that's not the topic of this thread

    How'd they manage 3 bars? There were people in my guilds unable to get in with just 2 bars EP.

    HAHAHAH this is a wonderful, ironic, poetic justice.

    ZOS: everyone come and help us test out 1.6 for no changes and no Balance and no intelligent discussion about any of the issues that we continue to ignore on a regular basis.

    Result, server explodes WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN HALF WAY FULL!

    Smaller server my ass, it's was 5 bars out of 9... Didn't even get full. I have stop listening to the things that come out of their mouths now. Utter trash.

    @MormondPayne_EP‌ ... you do realize that the campaign cap and the server capacity are not exactly related, right? Those bars don't tell how far the server is from melting. They can set the cap at whatever they want, even if the hardware cannot handle it.

    To be fair this is a massive change, 1.6 is still beta, its to be expected they have bugs to work out. I'm glad this happened now rather then on launch.

    Aren't we being a tad bit over the top dramatic? ZOS is only human, they make mistakes like anyone else, at least give them a chance to fix before folks toss them to the fire over a test server.

    No body is saying that they don't make mistakes or that we wont give them a chance to fix it. Its just hilarious that we have been complaining about a multitude of performance issues for months which have essentially fallen on deaf ears. Only to have the ZOS staff themselves experience some of the awful performance that we have become accustomed to (granted pvp has never been that bad). Maybe now it will be on the radar. Thankyou for meeting the community in game ZOS it really means alot to the players get to see you guys and talk face to face (as it would be)

    The Devs were really nice, actually. At least on the DC side. There was even one running around in a wedding dress on a guar mount. Sad that the servers melted like they did, it would have been fun to get some actual testing done with them.

    There's lots of stuff on live that isn't even fixed yet. Stuff they said was fixed but actually isn't, with no acknowledgement. So I can understand people's frustration.

    Personally I think the PTS is a joke, given live bugs haven't been fixed. But I downloaded it last night in the hopes I could get in on the "fun" with the devs; shortly thereafter realizing, given the event time, I'd still be at work for several hours. Though as it turns out it seems I didn't miss anything after all. :-P

    Disabling the grass may improve performance.

    The devs are already aware of this. They even mentioned in the latest ESO Live that lag is a common (daily) topic of conversation because they see it themselves.

    Yeah I was saying that over in the PTS forum. This was every 10 minutes a crash, I got stuck loading during the 4th and quit. And in-between the lag was awful, much worse than live. I recorded 1hr of video.

    And yeah Gina was EP, I saw her at Aleswell.

    The real question that needs to be answered, before this goes live, is whether the performance issues tonight are due to the load or due to some change that was made in 1.6.

    Honestly, you can't really do proper testing of Cyrodil without a server that can handle an identical load.

    Next time, force all players to be in the same alliance and only the devs are in a different one.
    You can multiply your stats to make up for being outnumbered. I think a lot of players need to take out pent up aggression for having unmorphed skills for example.

    Oh, also it would make a lot of fun: "playerbase vs. devs" sounds like an epic event! :)

    You guys should do this more often. Even just as a community thing. It's good for us to see the Devs play the game too even if we know you do already.

    Maybe a regular thing (monthly?) with varying times (this was not PST friendly :neutral_face: ).
