Rollbacks

Ardeki

This really stinks. I want to log in and play, but I just can't deal with wondering if I'll be reset at any moment.

Please do something about this, Zenimax. In the meantime I guess it's time to find something else to play until they acknowledge the problem, at least...

Clansman2013

Another rollback, Eastmarch

Caiburn

Two rollbacks in Coldharbour here.

Just to provide an update, I submitted a ticket earlier today and recently received a response. Some of it seems a little cut-and-paste-y (specifically the bit about this being in the knowledge base, which as far as I can tell it isn't), but it does say they're aware of the issue and working on it. Relevant part of the response to follow.

I am so sorry to hear that you and others are having to experience something such as random rollbacks. We are still working on this. We know it's a problem, and that it's highly inconvenient for our players - we're still working on preventing this from happening in the future!
For now, we do have a suggestion to help minimize your frustration while we get this resolved.
Whenever you accomplish something significant, or simply make a good bit of progress that you'd hate to lose, please log out to the character selection screen and log back in.
We realize this is not a long-term solution. But it should help prevent you from losing hours of gameplay at a time. This works as a sort of 'save game' by preserving your character at the point when you last logged out.
Like I said, we are still working on this, it is one of our top priorities; no one likes losing progress, experience, and loot to something as arbitrary as a server roll-back.

WOW! I'm shocked that actually seems useful. However a lot of people still can't even login.

I figured out the logging out thing on my own. It does work

Atreidus

You are so lucky.

OldSmeller

That analogy I made about a WOW private server seems ever more fitting.

Clansman2013

Another f*****g rollback. This time in The Rift. Please for the love of whatever gods you worship, fix this ***!!!

glimmer75

Had yesterday and tody several rollbacks in rift on the EU-Server. It's annoying

Shanawa_ESO

Had another in Rift earlier this morning and one in Eastmarch about 5 minutes ago.

Mortosk

I just lost a treasure map and a couple blue items that I looted from an intermediate chest after I got rolled back riding down the road in the NW section of the Rift.

Veakoth

Experienced 3 rollbacks in cyrodiil so far on the wabbajack server, in the span of one day, the worst part is it kicks everyone back to their factions starter gates and causes them to loose footholds deep in enemy territory. Its really lame.

Anex

I had it happen the other day as well and log out every so often on purpose now because of it. This is also why I never let myself get kicked out by the servers going down when I know it is coming in advance.

richardjameshillb16_ESO

Just lost 20 minutes worth of questing in Stonefalls, (EU server) Veteran Zone

Can't play like this, very discouraging

Templar_ESO

3 roll backs in 2 hours of play time. Roughly 40 minutes total lost. The Rift each time.

nolleo

when does this alpha end and beta starts? is release set to 2022?
