Something seriously got broken last maintenance. It took half an hour to get a character loaded today, just for the game to freeze with error CE-34878-0, as usual. The CE error happens totally at random. Usually when trying to equip a piece of armor, trying to smith something, trying to look in the bank, opening my inventory, and the latest, trying to kill a ghost out in the middle of BFE. Since last maintenance, I have submitted 23 (and counting) error reports from this game crashing. No other game EVER (not even once) has thrown this error.
Also, I am getting stuck in infinite load screens now at least 5 times per day. Trying to enter my housing, trying to port into quest instances in Vvardenfell (Cave of Incarnate and Skar), trying to load into Vivec. The key thing here is, after force closing the app (only choice at this point) and restarting, it reloads you in the place you WERE, and not the place you were TRYING to get to, which means the client isn't even trying to load the new instance, it is failing to communicate properly with the server and getting stuck.
The BG queue is also randomly breaking at points, getting stuck on "forming group", "waiting for 1 player" for 20 minutes and so forth.
Please, pretty please, do not be so lazy and arrogant as to say that this is a "Sony issue" and to look for support with them. Because first of all, this error code is a generic application crash response. That means the program did something it wasn't supposed to, and hung itself. So blaming Sony for your poor coding is like blaming McDonald's for you getting fat, it was YOUR poor choices that led to this outcome. Yes my game is up to date (obviously, this is an MMO, it has to be up to date), yes my system software is up to date, it has to be to play online. So right there, the biggest two cop outs found on the FAQ page are ruled out.
All of these issues are present on my wife's PS4 as well, and started at the exact same time. There was not, nor has there been, any system software changes released by Sony since the start of these issues.

CP is a crutch for people who can’t sustain and want to be "tanky" so they aren’t immediately punished for making mistakes.
