    Just bought this game 3 weeks ago. PS4 NA. No issues or lag at all so far. But I connect via an Ethernet cable and my internet is decent. So maybe that plays a huge factor.

    I love it. My first MMO, and the only reason I own a PS4. Haven't been this addicted to a video game since GTA: San Andreas.

    There is no comparison b/w Skyrim and as ESO is MMORPG,

    I am playing Elder Scroll since Morrowind @ 2003.. and found ESO very good except it have some performance issues (which will be addressed soon), game is further improving day by day as any other MMO..

    PVP is fun except some performance issues are bad,

    I still love this game and prefer over many others..

    I am on PS4, have purchased it on PC as well but PS4 is winner for me..

    LOL ZO$ definition of "soon" is anytime in the next 6 months, maybe :(

    As far as I know, the problem are XBox, not PS4. I certainly have not had any issues with PS4, but then I don't visit Wrothgar because I am doing Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood stuff.

    Yeah I'm on and off on the verge of quitting and spending the money on something more worthwhile. While I love exploring Tamriel with friends and fighting off Daedra with them. The massive amounts of insipid loading screens, invisible NPCs and mobs, broken dungeon finder, and the asinine crown store have me on the verge of quitting and I probably already would have if my buddies weren't powering through it. So as soon as they go I go.

    Every single member in my guild is having lag issues, fps drops, infinite loading screens and invisible mobs. Do you not get a loading screen within 30 seconds if you wayshrine and start riding immidiately after?

    There are quite a few of us who are not having problems on PS4. Specifically after the last maintenance. Not saying there aren't problems for other people. But mine is running fine.

    Oh wait...I do keep getting my a** handed to me in IC, so...uh...YEAH, THE GAME NEEDS TO BE FIXED!

    LFG is a current known bug it was working well before Dark Brotherhood DLC they are trying to fix it. They are planning on implementing a text chat communication system as well. We are still waiting on final details on the text chat system.

    The only thing not final about text chat right now is whether it will change anytime between now and a month. Shadow of the Hist is scheduled to release next month (heard the 1st for PC and 16th for Consoles) and text chat is in it.

    If they can't even fix that, how do you ever expect them to fix the performance issues.

    They're too busy pushing out DLCs every 3 months regardless of the games performance.

    Run as fast and as far away as you can from this game.

    Yes, toxic. And everything you just said proves my point.

    "You like this trashy game? You're obviously a fanboy."
    "You can't play worth a damn? You're just a filthy casual."
    "Don't PvP? Don't bother talking to me carebear."

    Seriously half the forum is littered with derogatory garbage like that coming from people who think they're better than everyone. Now I have no beef with trying to be competitive but there is such a thing as sore competition and that leaks toxins into the community the same as anyone using this *** when they disagree with someone. How do you expect anyone to respect your opinions and presence here if you cannot respect others? THAT is where you need to grow up.

    Hate the game, don't hate the game. Makes no difference to me. All I care about is how things are always turning toxic with people throwing those kinds of insults around every chance they get.

    @UltimaJoe777.

    Your spewing toxicity with both of your replies to my posts. You can't even reply without personal attacks and mimicking cuss words.

    I really want to love this game, but it's impossible to do so in it's current state. The performance on PS4 deteriorates with every DLC.

    No toxicity or cuss words here, just the truth.

    Fanboys rage on, but you can't deny the truth.

    Like I said your stance on this game is yours and no one can deny you it, but it wouldn't hurt to avoid trying to demean others for liking it by calling them fanboys. THAT is the toxicity, not your opinion on the game.

    As for my approach I apologize I'm just sick of all the toxic posts that do nothing but cause trouble among forum users is all. I realize that seems a bit hypocritical because of how I approached it and that's why I apologized.

    They have showcased it on ESO Live as it looks on PTS. If that is not what you seek then all that can be done is wait until the 16th, or 17th if PS4 follows suit, of August.

    I haven't really heard anything to indicate what is on PTS will not be on consoles but if anything it would not be too different than what is on PTS, if different at all.

    But the buggy LFG, the lack of a real chat system has really come short of what even DC Universe Online (a F2P game no less) has managed to accomplish.
    I regret buying the game, and I regret paying for 2 months of subscription time.

    Getting a loading screen outside of a zone change on either PC or PS4 is a pretty rare occasion, at least for me. No, I do not get a loading screen if I wayshrine into a zone, jump on a horse, and take off. It is not something I normally do, so I can't say that it might not happen on rare occasions.
    Cool haven't seen that ESO Live. I thought they said the version on PTS was different from what it would look like on console? If they have shown it off I will need to try and track it down.

    Text chat on console will be on the right side of the screen, instead of the left. It will come in three sizes: huge, medium, and eye chart. :smile: I thought that the biggest size was too large, based on what they showed. The medium seemed about as large as I would want to see it. The small will be what I will be using, and that might be too large. I call it "eye chart" because they could not read it on ESO Live from the couch they were on.

    Call me a ZOS hater (I will be called a "white knight fan boy" in a minute) but I expect this text chat to have significant usability problems. The UI for this game is designed by Vault-Tec to the most stringent standards at the highest quality for maximum dweller inconvenience, as with all Vault-Tec designs. :wink:
    Don't let the Fanboys ride you.

    This game runs like crap and it gets worse with every DLC.

    You have always had rather severe problems with this game on PS4. We can be in the game at the same time, and you are being dropped or having some sort of chronic problem, and I am not having any problems. I seriously do not know what is wrong with your connection to the game, but I have to say it is not good to be you. :smile:

    So, I have to disagree with you. For what I am doing in the game, which is PVE questing in Hew's Bane and Gold Coast, this game is running solid with few problems. I don't do Cyrodiil, not on any platform.

    My main complaint about PS4 is simply that they forgot to finish the User Interface before they released it. This is why I say that it was designed by Vault-Tec. They are observing us to see what sort of psychological problems we develop due to having to deal with the UI in this game without the benefit of add-ons to fix it.

    Yes, that is my main complaint about the PS4 version of ESO. Believe me when I say that if I was having long loading screens, dropped connections, or character load problems, the UI would not be my main complaint.

    So, while I appreciate that you have been having problems since last fall, and that some people are having problems with the game right now, this does not extend to everyone. I have no idea why that is, or whether I am in the minority or the majority right now.

    I just know that the game is not running like crap for me.
