@ZOS_GinaBruno forward this to the dev team and think about it, even if its temporary, because no one wants to loose so many players to bad performance
Because it is getting worse and worse why not do a very simple ''fix'' for improvement like every other MMO has?
let me give you some detail about what i mean :
- disable all skins/mount skins/outfits etc.
- disable all character hairstyles/jewelry/body markings etc
- disable CP
- disable all allied effects
- disable Siege effects
- Remove all npc's from cyrodill
- remove all post-processing effects
- Limit view distance to 30 for everyone
- limit server load by disabling any server information loader ( for example, guildsearch/guildstoresearch inventory search etc )
- limit or disable DirectX
- limit moving shadows
- disable all poisons/weapon enchants in pvp ( you could add maybe 1 or 2 poisons only usable in pvp to remove server load for 100 different ones )
- Remove all weapons traits and armor traits in pvp besides impenetrable and make impenetrable only usably in pvp
- remove weapon and gear appearance and make 1 biased outfit for light heavy and medium armor that everyone has.
- disable ALL item sets in pvp, make a new pile of gear sets intentionally designed for PvP alone, gear sets without timed procs or premade set proc chances that may or may not proc, the amount of stress relieved from the server loosing all these calculations will be IMMENSE. ( i mean make sets with a buff or a stat that is on 100% of the time so the server doesn't have to keep track of these procs all the time )
- make 1 type of CC animation , stun,root,slow not 10 like now.
- disable different movement speeds, only 1 and not stackable.
any more ideas much appreciated, i know i list alot of things here that could be client changed, but this is NOT the case on ps4/xbox.
