9 times out of 10 when someone has issues running ESO on pc, it's on the user's side, not the server. Often the problem is anything from a bad internet connection, overloading the pc's hardware, or even addons, which ZoS is not responsible for.

If it is a server-side issue, it is usually announced here on the forums or even the official ESO discord or other places, and seeing as how not everyone on your server is noticing issues, it's safe to say it's on your end this time.

No. This is not factual or even remotely close to factual.

Virtually all performance issues in ESO are server side. It's uncommon for connection and performance issues to be client side with ESO.

I don't understand why people keep recommending Hack. His youtube channel is full of outrageous claims, but the builds are either themed overland setups or some version of a commonly used build (like Oakensorc). I suppose, any build is better than none, but if you are going to use a premade build, then why not to choose one that's actually been tested in all kinds of content and includes parses and in-depth info?

But yeah, I guess clickbait still rules youtube

spartaxoxo you can always leave the grp, find yourself own ppl to run these for quests or simply try another queue. That rly shouldn't be a excuse to introduce a full out new solo mode for dungeons which would split the players right now even further to a negative outcome of the queue as is said. There is enough of ways to handle this named problem of you but that's up to zos (vote kicks etc.) as I also said you can do it in games where you have a healthy pop and queues but that's not a thing in eso atm and denying that would be just yeah whatever I guess

I HAVE left the queue when I want to hear stories. And so have many others. That's the entire problem with the queues. The solution to "activity finder group queues are awful experiences which has made queue times awful," isn't to tell the people who are still there to get out. It's to address the concerns of the playerbase.

These are two big concerns.

People who want to farm and people who want to hear the stories are flaming each other and making each other completely miserable because they have two competing and exclusive goals that make each other's experience worse.

The rewards for grouping are no longer interesting.

The best way to solve this is to make a story mode so those players have an actually good experience with the dungeon, especially new players. And then you add more rewards into the group play experience. IMO

People are much happier to go fast if they all want to do is farm rewards.

Or ZOS can continue to let players farming transmutes push new people out in droves because all they want is to hear the story. That's obviously working out so well. /S

Some of the most successful multiplayer games have healthy communities because they ensure that everyone can enjoy the group stuff. And that includes ensuring people who want the stories can hear them. Whether that's gating progress, implementing cut scenes that have to be unanimously skipped, or solo modes. They don't let one group ruin the experience for the other.

EU is still very shaky despire the fix: a lot of stuttering and assets take long to load even in unpopulated areas. The game feels unstable somehow.

This guild has been around for as long as I can remember. It seems silly that a long standing 10 year old guild would even all the sudden be subjected to a name change. I think if a guild has been established for so many years without incident that this complaint should have been looked at and immediately dismissed. People attacking 10 year old guilds and yet we still have the Gaming Council and their many counterparts sending spam invites to you every time you use a wayshrine where one of them are.

Hear me out....

"2025 for a 10 year old game to have such poor performance".

This game is 10 years old - the engine/dev work is even older (8 I think?).

So with the engine being roughly 18 years old... think about ALL the crazy modern things that have been added.

This is how I view it. The engine is a rusty 2007 Honda Civic where the devs are trying to mod it into a cutting-edge Corvette Stingray. They bolt on modern bells like subclassing, seasonal content drops, ray-traced graphics, etc, making it shine on the surface. But the ancient frame buckles under the load: patching takes forever, lag spikes and rubberbanding plague combat, and it overheats during busy hours, leading to crashes and frustration. It's a got tones of patchwork and is impressive in many many spots, but the outdated core just can't handle 2025's demands without constant breakdowns.

So yeah... performance has been pretty bad the last few years - BUT they keep adding new things and it's improving. Is it like a modern game that launched in 2025 - not even close. Is it still pretty good for an engine thats 18 years old - I'd say so.

For my part, I stopped playing TESO.

Now I play maintenance.

I agree, it's a ridiculous amount of maintenance for a game whose performance is so unstable.
