" Why wont the Dev's fix our game? " : because they already know it's too late. Most of the players have moved. I am on the EU server, the VET zones are empty, Cyrodil just have 1 active campain now (one month ago their was 3 or 4 full of players campains).

My 2 guilds have already lost half of players, and the others will move soon too.

TESO should have been the best MMO ever, if only ZOS did their job correctly.

Bunch of Bull. Perhaps your alliance just isn't populated. EP on a NA server and I always have people in the Vet zones. My guild recruits 4-5 people a day and holding well over 150 people with always 20-30 people active fluctuating between all time zones. The game is far from dead. Those who still post on the forums still have active subscriptions and there is always a lot of chatter on these boards.

trading guilds don't count. Im in 5 diff guilds and even the one that had max chars of 499 has lost a tone of players and its just specifically for trading. the veterans are the ones portraying how empty the end game zones are, the vr's are the ones saying the games dead. Your probably recruiting ppl from guilds who have died due to losing players.

I just wanna point out I spent a couple hrs the other day roaming through wildstar forums, and guess what I saw almost the exact same **** I see here almost exactly the same. honestly I thought I was still on the ESO forums but even further more you know I still see this exact same crap on other forums too for games that have been around for years WoW , EVE you know its always the same crap a bunch of spoiled whiney cry babies who have nothing better then to complain about every freaking little thing .... no this games not perfect yes its far from perfect but no games perfect and ever will be perfect so quit complaining and just play the game as best you can and give the devs some time to work things out.

Any one ever heard the old saying about to many cooks in the kitchen well guess what the same thing goes for game development and coding except for in game development you have to have a lot of coders to do the work. Just to make things worse lets say there is 15 coders working on a game and lets say 1-2 years down the line 2-3 of the developers find a better job and move on well now you got 1-2 years of coding from 2-3 guys that now has to be broken down and dissected bit by bit by the rest of the team so they can try and understand exactly what those 2-3 guys where doing and thinking and how they did it not to mention if that dev team hired people to replace them those new guys have to pick up where they left off from scratch. this is just one reason why it takes so long to fix things not to mention why one little bit of code can have a ripple effect acrossed many parts of the game like a stone in a pond

I was playing WoW for 5 years and never visited it's forum. Why? Because there are basicaly no issues with the game. Only the PvP gear for each seasson to grind over and over again, but I doubt I can change something about that.

I never had a single crash or performance issue.
Yes WoW is around a long time now I do understand that.

ESO is new, but giving them time to fix something they broke with their patch sounds crazy don't you think?

Don't lie, WoW is having plenty performance issues, hell even now EU Servers are lagging ALOT, I'm not sure if it was fixed already, but it's been going on for a week - and that is a game 10 years old!

I was playing for last 5 years and I NEVER had single performance issue. Perhaps I wasn´t online by that particular day if that happened.

call me lier if you want, but I simply never had performance issue.
Lagging? oh well I don´t have somewhat brilliant connection but my latency bar is green which is below 100 ms(I usually have 40-60ms) and that is perfectly fine for MMO.

in ESO however I don´t even know what latency I have. I did not find it anywhere.

I played wow for 6yrs (not proud of that fact) and we started about 5 mo after release, I heard lots of talk about how horrid the launch was and all kinds of probs bliz was having but I honestly never witnessed issues like this out side of a beta. I'm also a seasoned gamer who's beta tested over a dozen games (I know there are more hard core gamers who have beta'd a lot more too) I get that it takes a while to fix stuff, but I also get that lack of customer support and communication will kill a game. So will lack of progression when it comes to fixing issues. I've never paid to play a game that can be considered beta when it comes to its issues.

1. They have fixed a lot of things over time.
2. The game is playable. Can you log into any zone on any character?
3. Are your video drivers up to date? Is windows installed correctly?
4. Maybe people were doing things or didn't wanna talk to you?
5. Do you have a specific thing you can cite?

This sounds more like babble and banter than anything that can be taken seriously by anyone with authority in the matter.

so by playable, you mean if you can log in then its playable? sure anyone can log in...everyone with these game breaking unplayable game problems CAN log in. Are you saying im paying monthly to log in and stand there? Even then, i get load screens pretty frequently JUST standing there.

If i cant see mobs that are attacking me, much less attack them back...thats playable? EVERY item in the game for some of use looks like this:
[img][/img]
you cant even see level of armors...cant even see armor rating for armors.
Thats PLAYABLE?
Framerates dropping to single digit FPS if i use any healing...Playable?
If that is what you call playable...i sure wouldnt want to play a MMO you released.

And all of this happened POST patch 1.2.4 and even worse when 1.2.4 hit. So the drivers were to date up until those patches? Did all these graphic card companies release new drivers that day or something that only you and a select few know about?

right now my game is mostly playable, I say mostly because it is a big game And I can't be everywhere at once, or know about every issue, but most defiantly am not experiencing what you are now, which suggests their is something in you systems that the new patch is not agreeing with, now you could keep yelling at ZoS and "fix the game that they broke" but to accommodate everyone is impossible. the fix for you could mess up someone else. If there is any way to fix your issue on you end, which I'm sure their is, then you should try that instead of wasting time waiting,

People without the issues should really just be quiet.

There's people, myself included, that have the wackiest workarounds to simply get part of the game to work.

I personally can't do any group content at all right now without my fps dropping to 2 as soon as I enter a group. I also have to delete my shader.cooked and usersettings.txt prior to logging in everytime I want to go grind Craglorn (which is all I can do right now, since leveling an alt is lame when you've done all three stories already.)

This is not an EU-only issue. The US servers are going to hemmorhage subs, too.

Many of us would take back our 6 month sub investments right now if we could. But ZOS won't even give us free game time right now.

I've gotten in arguments with them on the phone multiple times.

The last guy I talked to told me he can't get better than 2 FPS at all, ever, but that he can't offer me free game time, either.

I mean it's a joke. 1.2.4 seriously clobbered a large part of the player base on both sides of the Atlantic.

But I guess we all should've expected better than for Bethesda/ZOS to release a bug free game and provide support in a timely fashion, whether it be financial relief or actual customer service.

I like this game. It was fun until they "improved" it and let 1.2.4 kill my ability to play it altogether.........

Everybody who knows better or is incessantly positive because they'll even run around collecting ore and call the game fun should really understand that there will be nobody left. If bugs are quashed prior to the release of new content, this game has no hope at all.

Also, WoW and RIFT have both had issues. And the servers were pulled down until they were completely and thoroughly fixed. If they weren't fixed in a timely fashion (within 24 hours) you were credited downtime back as game time.

That's how this should work.

I just have tested the nex patch, and it's a good improvement, not perfect but a bit better, so, good job ZOS, that's a good start. I will continue one more month to see were the game goes.

I agree with the argue that we must have some play time refund because if the game is now playable, we have lost 2 complete weeks because of the bad work of ZOS. Hope we will be heard for that legit demand...
