    I hardly ever post, in fact I think this is my third time since launch. After reading this banner "We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the North American PC/Mac megaserver. We will update as new information becomes available." I just had to laugh. Some players, come on, it's the whole damn server. So after three hours, ZOS still wont come out and say "this is the problem and this is what we are doing to fix the issue"

    Umm... Can you call us when you fix it - I mean for more than 30 minutes?
    Because I don't think it's fair that I have to spend 4 hours of my time to get 30 minutes of actual playtime. and then get locked out again. And again. And again. I am a maniac player with 54 toons I regularly play (cp1100 for the lowest toons) and usually pretty patient. But this is ridiculous. I thought one of the big reasons for the PTS was for avoiding these issues.

    *sigh*



    For the PTS to be of any benefit, they would have to pay attention to it. I'm not seeing much evidence of that, to be honest.

    I think its safe to say whatever has been done to "fix" all of this isn't working. At this point this is a significant and reoccurring problem. Guilds having to cancel activities, players having to miss out on an event yet again, all the other things folks can't do because the game has gone wonky again. I hope you all understand that its reaching a point where when you tell us its "fixed" a lot of folks are going to be hesitant to believe it. I'm not an expert here, I have no idea what the issue is or how to fix it, but its been going on long enough now that some folks are a little beyond frustrated. I really hope that you can get this sorted out sooner rather than later. Cuz.....this cannot continue.....

    JFC zos WTF is going on these last couple weeks since Ascending Tides launch? [snip] I have been in and out of this game since launch and ever since Ascending Tides, this has to be the WORST I have seen this for how often this is happening! Wasting the very little bit of game time I get once I can finally sit down for my hour (maybe 90 minutes) of free time in the day and it's wasted because of your incompetence. Guess it's time to move on and play something else again.

    I play both PC na and Xbox na. They keep saying PC na but Xbox na was getting the 1 second endless que. Right NOW Xbox na zone times are horrible and once a time out on log in. I figured it was overload players from the event but it started about 8pm Eastern time just like PC na. Until then it was fine.

    I think PS-NA, Xbox-NA and PC-NA are all hosted on-premise inside Zenimax offices in Dallas, TX.

    I thought all of this was fixed, but it's back with vengeance tonight. First I had to wait in a queue for over 7 minutes and I'm a paid subscriber. Next, traveling anywhere, even just through a door, takes over 3 minutes. Then I was queued for a dungeon and when it asked if I was ready, I said yes about 40 times, but the time ran down and it took me out of the queue. So what did you guys do to break it again??

    That would make sense. I have two systems, if one is patching or borked somehow I can hop to the other, but this game is going bonkers on both.

    One small thing ive noticed since acending tide launched that might be related... When zoning even during the day when there is no lags or queue there is a delay before u can walk now of 2-3seconds that was not present before ever that i noticed. Now after zoning u have to wait a few secs before you can walk even during off peak hours which I realize is a small thing but you feel it and is unpleasant waiting.

    What does "as quickly as possible" mean over there? This has been a recurring problem for 2 weeks or so now (since Ascending Tides released on PC) and at first was almost a week straight and now it comes and goes. But seriously, as quickly as possible went out the window a week and a half ago!

    ZOS, get your [snip] together already and properly and permanently FIX THIS! [snip]

    I normally won't post, or at least get this upset, but ffs this has just become unacceptable!

    Probably just means that it resolved itself so they could no longer investigate and find what was actually going on.

    It's the loadscreen that never ends
    It just goes on and on my friend
    Some players started loading in not knowing what it was
    And they'll keep on loading in forever just because
    This is the loadscreen that never ends
    It just goes on and on my friend...
    Legends never die
    They're written down in eternity
    But you'll never see the price it costs
    The scars collected all their lives
    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
    Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
    Legends never die

    Here's what the last hour looked like for me:

    Tried logging in:
    Network issues first 4 times, finally:
    You have been placed in the queue, est wait time: 15 min
    Ok.. fine. I'll wait.
    Got in after however long. Loaded character
    15 min load screen... ok

    Finally got into Tamriel, queued for daily random (as a healer)
    10 min wait.
    No luck, ok whatever, I'll queue for BG
    15 min wait. Ready check
    Player wasn't ready, placed at front of queue

    Another 5 minutes-- Fine, I'll try the event and go into Illesan tower while queueing.
    Queue finally does a ready check, hit ready.
    15 min loading screen
    Ported back to Illesan tower.
    No mobs, no players.
    Can't leave the tower, can't port to wayshrine, can't port to home.
    Game crashes, lost lobby connection

    Lost lobby connection
    This account is already logged in
    This account is already logged in
    You have been placed in the queue, est wait time: 15 min

    I'm this close to being done
