Why is the server crapping itself without even 1 faction being locked pop? This is Chill at 4:40am and wow... If only we knew how many subs you lose each time this happens.. [snip] You're driving people away by not fixing stability issues. It won't matter that sorcs are god modes and snipe 1 shots people if you have NO ONE LEFT TO PLAY THE GAME!

    1:54PST right now, games completely unplayable. Is this bad server lag or are TESO servers getting DDOSed or something?

    Games unusable. and I really wanted to play. [snip]

    I don't think it was just Cyrodiil. I had lag from deconstructing items. I was at a clothier station, it was taking 5-10 seconds for a series of decons to register, then it just froze altogether. I left the clothier station and went to the blacksmithing station, and my frozen clothier options are what came up (still frozen \ unable to select the next item). I could leave and still run around town (Vet Rawl Kha (sp)), but the decon options were frozen. I'm so glad I cancelled my sub.

    The lag appears everywhere, the megaserver is overloaded, not strong enough. You can find lag in cities, dungeons, trials, Cyrodiil...basically everywhere. And I am not really sure if they know how to fix it. They would need more servers and I am not sure the suits allow them to buy any new servers LoL.

    Someone should file a class action lawsuit for false advertisement. They advertised the mega server would support 200v200 Ava. [snip] Mega server can't even support 20vs20 in a keep and that's on a good day.

    Of course. Drain them of the money and time over such a suit that would be better spent making said improvements. You're a genius.

    Yeah, sometimes five or ten seconds between control inputs and game responses; several rollbacks (teleporting); and nonresponsive client behavior.

    Houston, we have a problem...

    Not that ZOS doesn't have problems but there were several Comcast and other ISP outages and problems throughout the US yesterday.
    My internet was out for 4 hours in Florida.
    Although that should not of affected you EU guys.

    Maybe that's why they're doing this last minute "20 bucks to copy to console" thing; to alleviate the lag here some.

    But is there going to be one megaserver for PSN and one for Xbone? Or is it going to degrade into some tiny zones with 12-person caps per zone like the usual XBox live and PSN games' multiplayers have?

    And if there are going to be a megaserver for Xbone and a megaserver for PSN, then this begs the question of why are we forced to pay Xbox Live and PSN live yearly network fees to play over there?

    Doesn't have anything to do with PvP, I was getting disconnected from Craglorn...something wasn't right.

    Also people who talk about class action lawsuits should stick to knitting sweaters for your cats...cause you're not equipped to handle being online.

    I am not networking skilled by any means, but if this is the case? Then Zen has much bigger problems then we think they do. Personally, I don't think it's this. I think something is messed up in the network coding, or coding of the game itself that is causing the issues. Something there having a hell of a time trying to nail down.

    Players/customers is everything to a company like this. Trust me when I say there freaking out.. :)

    Sure, let a company roll all over you, blatantly break the law, and steal your money. Make improvements is one thing. Failing to deliver and tricking people into buying something is another. I guess you missed the statement from Paul sage stating they can't fix the megaserver code and was pleading with the community to find other things to do in cyrodil. You're a genius.

    It looks to be one NA and one EU per console for a total of 4

    It's also possible that regional markets affect server or the # of servers but who knows at this point.
