Re: stuck in character load
It's quite impressive. When we have consistent all day/ 8 hour plus maintenances every month or so to "upgrade the back end" and complain, people say its an MMO and imagine what it would be without this work. Genuinely do wonder how much better it would be at this point if they just left it alone.
Since the last big back end upgrade the game has been worse. I'm waiting for the next "year of performance" fixes like we had before which realistically did very little.
It's mad the other 2 MMOs I play (WoW and LOTRO) are both on opposite ends of the scale in terms of investment and size but both manage to run their games much better than ESO recently.

I am not sure if this is appropriate, but it is an in-game outfit. But I’m very much liking this outfit.

Re: Population shrinking, please BRING CROSSPLAY QUICK
Were you there for the test? There were definitely hundreds on at once, more than I've seen since launch, and exceeding launch numbers according to the dev post. The promise of "fair" PvP is popular, players new and old came out in force for the test, even if the forums are vocal about preserving an irreversibly broken build system.No way there are gonna be 600 in pvp
Re: Useless pets can become useful.
Next time of 'Would be cool if' : give personalities a bonus ! Assassin get extra crit chance, dancer will make npc throw gold at you, and drunk will periodicaly make you fall and get stuned.
At some point, cosmetics are just that - cosmetics. There is no need to pile up bonus on them. I don't want my houses to generate materials depending on the prevalent type of furniture in there. I don't want my resistance to fire be improved depending on how dark the skin of my character is. I don't want the title I actively wore to give me any bonus.
Let cosmetics be cosmetics. Not everything need to bring a bonus.

Re: stuck in character load
The bar is on the floor and we have entered hell.
No clue what they did on the June 25th patch day but man, it certainly did SOMETHING to tank the performance so badly.
The first few times it happened I suspected DDOS attacks, but now I'm not so sure anymore. I really wished ZOS would communicate with more transparency on the matter.

Re: get a real anti cheating security for all pvp lmao
Neither, it's a bug that has been in the game for years.
As far I know there is no way to purposefully cause it, it just happens occasionally. Most commonly I see it with Streak, or Burning. The burning doesn't actually do any damage, but Streak does cause you to be unable to bash as it always breaks free.
Changing instance fixes it, so after the BG or leaving Cyro, i.e going into Cheesemongers Hollow.

Re: PvP problems in TESO
SnakeCrasher wrote: »Your PvP campaign, Vengeance, is terrible. There's nothing to do there except for going in a group, but if you want to play solo, you should take the NB because you've made it the strongest and most unbalanced class. You've given it advantages that make it easier to play solo. It has its own speed buff, the ability to go into stealth, and good damage multipliers, while other classes don't have anything like that. I've been playing PvP since 2016, and I can definitely tell you that there are too many problems with PvP, and you don't want to deal with any of them. Instead, you're just running more tests. You have a lot of cheaters, players who use macros and game bugs, and they've adapted to the realities of ESO so well that they've been breaking your game for years, while all you can do is run tests. You don't have a proper anti-cheat system, and the one you do have doesn't work properly against dishonest players. To be honest, you don't even want to balance the game properly. Before the introduction of subclasses, the Sorcerer was the strongest class in PvP, and almost every second player played as a Sorcerer, but the Necromancer was the weakest class, so weak that almost no one played as a Necromancer. And so you decided to introduce subclasses, but you didn't fix the previous problems with the classes, and as a result, we now see that almost everyone still plays the same combinations: Sorcerer, Nightblade, and Warden. The other options are rarely used. So where is the diversity? There isn't any, and there never will be. You've somehow eliminated the uniqueness of the classes and made one class the strongest and the other the weakest, but with the introduction of subclasses, the situation has become even worse. I don't know what's on your mind or what your tests will lead to, but I sincerely hope that you will finally see the game's problems and start addressing them.
I agree with everything except the vengeance part I actually love that mode, it’s super fun. But yeah, way too many cheaters and seamless bug abusers exploiting while gaslighting everyone. There’s zero anti-cheat, and the server-side is a joke easily cracked. I’ve got no hope they’ll ever implement real security. ZOS is clearly struggling after all the layoffs, and the content’s stale and boring with an overpriced, trying-to-fool-you price tag. It’s not looking good. I still PvP daily, mostly in BGs now. Got everything I wanted from Cryo and IC already.

3 hours?
Don't you mean 3 weeks.
During database maintenance on June 25, ZOS made some changes. Since then, performance has been affected and errors have increased — and why are the EU servers mostly affected?
Because we are on the EU servers and only the NA counts. I believe that we are counted as non-persons and of no account. At least that is the impression that is being sent out.
Re: stuck in character load
Many thanks to ZOS for making the "Seasons of the Endless Loading Screen" available for free to all players on the EU servers. Why this season isn't available to players on the NA servers is beyond me.
What a great experience! /s
