Yes the number is 1 (855) 296-3170
I don't think you can actually speak to someone at this number. It plays a looped message that just says "don't want to wait on hold, just go online or request a callback" problem is that they give you no option to request a call back and online option just loops you into the cyst support page, which if you do submit a ticket, it will only get an auto response that attempts to pretend your issue has been resolved by providing generic information and links to ineffective fix options. If you do stay on hold long enough they will just hang up on you.1 -
instead of complaining about when they responded, shouldnt we be happy they actually did respond?0

I have 3 tickets outstanding that haven't been responded to by an actual person yet. The first of those tickets (on separate issues) was filed at 11:30 PM EST on Thursday evening. It's going on 38 hours!!! Aside from not even being able to play, I'm missing 63 Mustics that are valued over 2k a piece and I haven't even been acknowledged! Did I mention I pay them 15 bucks a month!!0 -
arowz✭Narrowing down the disconnect issue. It seems to only happen when I try to change zones/go in and out of a delve. Using wayshrines doesn't seem to disconnect me. Once disconnected, I get back on after 5-10 tries.0

I apologize if I came off as abrasive, I'm just frustrated and my weekend is now shot. Being ignored just feels really crappy0 -

I'm never happy with mediocrity, especially if it's a service I'm paying for. I'll just quote myself:
The ZOS tech support/community rep to consumer interaction needs some help. Your response, 15 hours later, is the first one we got. Thanks for the reply, but the time it took is unacceptable. I tried calling customer service, interacting via Twitter, and still have yet to get a reply to my support ticket other than the terrible canned response.
It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not.1 -

I can tell when I'm disconnecting because I can't use abilities. Strangely, I can still mount/dismount, and can even fast travel to the guy who I'm grouped up with. Fast traveling to him delayed my disconnect for about 15 more seconds, but then it came right back again. I can also reconnect immediately.0 -
this is weird. I can't get on my main which is EP, and an alt that is EP, haven't played the alt since console release... but I can get on an alt for AD which I created like over a month ago but haven't played.0

Sithgear75✭✭I wonder, is it alliance related? I'm on EP and I'm having issues...is anyone having issues in a different alliance?
DC here.
It's their North American console servers, not alliance related. Something happened around 8-9 PM EST yesterday with their servers, router, node...something that makes it so a large portion of people cannot log into the servers. I can log into the EU server just fine. I am curious if their tech support has brainstormed with level3 Communucations, as they provide a major part of telecommunications service throughout the U.S.

kgortnerSoul ShrivenSame Issue since last night around 8 or 9 EST (Florida). It seems to have happened right when I finished Cadwell Silver. Right after completing the quest to save Emeric in Bangkorai, I was stuck in the Hall of Heroes, getting disconnected everytime I tried to exit (yes I tried every single method of teleportation, as well as simply just walking out).
Next day after turning off the PS4 completely, still same probelms with connectivity. Just here and there I am able to log onto certain toons (others it DCs on character login), just to shortly be DC'd by any type of screen load.

arowz✭I am officially stuck in Auridon. When I finally get to log in, I can do anything in the normal world. If I go to change zones I get the boot and spend 20 minutes logging back in. Can't go to a delve, a quest instance or travel to another player outside of Auridon. Been like this for 3 hours.1
-
Same thing here, arowz. I just tried to go to the little island for AD and I got DC'd. But I can log back in and play in Auridon, but if changing zones, bam, disconnect. Just like everyone is reporting. Its just weird it won't let people on their mains to be stuck where they last were.0

jzholloway✭✭✭Ebonheart Pact - same time last night still bad today. Ironically, all my friends west of the Mississippi are unaffected.PC/NA0 -
Sithgear75✭✭The weird thing is, I have a lot of friends playing. I also have a lot that are still unable to log in as well. Might be a level3 Communications mess up. I didn't have info on ZeniMax that the person I talked to from level3 needed to check into nodes, hopefully ZOS tech support can figure the crap out.It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not.0

b-LeezySoul ShrivenPS4
North America
AT&T
I have been able to play perfectly fine until last night
I see the message during my log in attempt
- "Unable to connect to game server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection."
On the rare chance that I do get into the game, I'm unable to get into any dungeons, quests, any zones that require loading. By that, I mean - whenever the zone is loading it will say this is taking longer than usual before it times out and I'm back to logging in.
I'm stuck on the small island of betnikh aka BORED.
ZENIMAX, help me !?
- Are there any users having no problems at all?
- Is there a reason for this poor connectivity?
- Can we expect like connectivity with similar durations in the upcoming expansion.
- I'd like an explanation for the current statusEdited by b-Leezy on 8 August 2015 20:161 -
theantiangelSoul ShrivenI'd like to echo many before me:
Thursday night all was fine.
Friday night (around 6-12) I tried off and on but I couldn't even get to the character load screen.
Saturday I'm having to reset the app 4-5 times to get to character screen, and now I can add "disconnected trying to load the Endless Stair (before that, once I got to the character screen it loaded quickly, I've crashed SIX TIMES just trying to complete two parts of the ending mission!)
So...I'll add my voice to the masses of "please help! I want to play!"
I'm on North America server and either getting the basic "no network available" message or just staring at the Loading screen with the spinning icon.0 -
After 2 phone calls and 3 tickets I have been told again to check my internet settings. Look if I can talk on VOX and use the internet to make a ticket and place calls to your company I am certain that all my settings are correct.
This is what happened when I was booted.
Took guild invite from another player. Game crashed. spent 59 min on hold at 11:10EST was told to add port forwarding was able to log in but can't leave zone or housing. Game crashes each time I try to leave.
I have changed everything you ask.
At this point I have been faced with 2 dilemmas since the launch and relaunch. I bought collectors edition the first time and learned. Plus I'm told my character can't be ported fine. Now I can't even play the game again. More software and server issues. Not a great streak for Zenimax/Bethesda. Throw us a bone. Tell us a time frame. A day, week, month? Lead staff should have a plan of action?
