    Why fix bugs when they can just pump out more single player dlc's for more money? $$$$>quality of life. Who needs long-term players when you can just keep milking the casual ones?

    That... wasn't very helpful at all. I've only been disconnected once since DB released and I think it was caused by an outdated addon. What system? Where are you experiencing it? What time is it happening? How frequently?

    so it couldn't be a problem with a server you go through down the line? You still go through the Internet yes? Have you pinged your connection? Oh maybe you can't do that on Xbox? Pity..

    I'm on xb1 and I've never been kicked yet. Loading takes ages though, but people are kinda complaining about it though.

    Remember though, you can't judge a game, especially an MMO, by technical issues, there always will be more and more no matter how quickly qnd efficiently the devs fix them. So better just wait for the maintenance and send reports instead of forum posting...

    ESO is the only game on xbox that I've ever had connection issues with. It's hard to compare though because its the only true MMO outside of Neverwinter and while I did not have connection issues with Neverwinter, the lag in cities made it virtually unplayable. ESO didn't really have that issue before Orsinium, since however they have had increasing performance issues on the Xbox. DB performance in Cyrodiil has been cleaned up a bit, but outside of Cyrodiil it is the worst it has ever been for me. I encountered 5 loading screens just running through Marbruk. Basically all towns now whether populated or not are black holes of loading.

    Just because you have not had any issues does not invalidate that The OP is having legitimate issues. Sure, there is a better way to word things, but sometimes emotions get the best of us. There is in fact issues that have been occurring for many people on both concoles, and IIRC PC as well. All you need to do is search the forums or even the Reddit page, DB update has increased these problems for MANY players, including myself. This is not a good way to entice returning or new players.

    I love this game but the constant crashes, freezes, and having to avoid certain cities or areas to ensure characters do not get stuck is at the point of game breaking for many players. I had 3 characters stuck in Elden Root, one ZOS had to teleport out themselves. Turning in writs or dailies in DLC areas (Wrothgar, Hew's Bane, Gold Coast) usually ends up with a crash for me They are currently investigating what is causing these crashes and hopefully will find a solution soon.

    While I understand there is a lot of complaining that is always happening around here, these frustrations are validated, especially for players who either sub, or spend crowns on various crown sure items and DLCs. I want to see this game continue to thrive to its maximum potential because I thoroughly enjoy playing it and want to keep enjoying it!

    There is just too much that is commonly happening on XBox One and not happening elsewhere for it to be entirely the fault of ZOS. Microsoft and ZOS are not quite networked together reliably and my gut says that it is more Microsoft than ZOS because the same things are not as common on PS4.

    The problems are somewhat mitigated by slowing down a bit, and not using your mount in DLC areas so much, especially in towns and crowded areas.

    Orsinium City is particularly bad for this, and I would advise you to almost go at walking pace there - it seems the Xbox struggles to load it properly, causing the crashes. Never mount in the city, and don't use the crafting stations inside the city (the specialised stations outside the city are ok). I found that by going on foot, it gives the XBox time to load areas up properly.

    Unfortunately, the XBox struggles to load areas of this game very fast, and I found not mounting too often resolved the majority of crash issues. However, it still happens even to me, but only in DLC areas.

    Yeah I've been disconnected several times, a lot of it happens when I'm in the middle of a battle in cyrodil, it infuriates me :smile: but hey, Zos don't care about anything but money so I'm trying to enjoy the game when there is still a decent population.

    Can you reference where "Microsoft and ZOS do not get along"?

    I am asking because that was not there words at PAX East, in fact it was the opposite.

    The game exists on all 3 platforms, if your reply or suggestion is to stop playing on any specific platform, then you are part of the problem, because you are basically encouraging ZOS to ignore the problem, it's the player's fault for playing on that platform, right? Yeah, please quit that crap.

    I'm on Xbox as well, and I've had serious disconnect issues... But, I've noticed, if I play during 'American Prime times' the issues are atrocious, if I play at low times, it's hardly evident at all. Example, I had a character in Orsinium, tried to log in around 11 pm EST, was getting disconnected within 2 seconds of log in, over and over (around 10 times). I came back and tried again at 4 am EST, logged in with no issues. I have other examples that fit the same, so, wondering if they are using higher rez scenery/gear in Wrothgar/TG/DB, and during prime times the console has to load all the extra people wearing new DLC gear, plus the scenery, and it can't... But, with low population, it gets by. Best diagnosis I've come up with, fits all the symptoms.

    It seems like console players got the PTS version. The constant crashes and the bug where Thaumaturge does not benefit puncturing sweeps/biting jabs - these were complaints people had on the PTS.

    As it stands I have to stay away from Elden Boot and pretty much all of Crashwood.

    By "getting along" I mean in the technical sense, not the political sense. That is why I put it in quotes. As companies, I am sure they get along just fine, play golf together, and attend the same parties. :smile: What I mean is that there is some sort of technical connection issue between Microsoft and ZOS that causes glitches.

    I think these technical issues are more on the Microsoft side than the ZOS side. Whether they have a more complicated interface than PSN, or there is some other issue involved, I cannot say. The reason I think this is that the same things don't happen with such frequency on the PS4 side.

    I will edit the original to make this more clear.

    AND... to make this reply more clear... There is no reference. This is just black box diagnostics, which is the best one can do in a situation like this. If A-B works but A-C does not, the problem is most likely related to C, not A. A, in this case, is ZOS.

    I don't know all about that but I do know the lag and issues with this patch are across all platforms. Just take a look at each of the Tech support forums. Disconnects, LONG loading times, crashing and LAG are common among all of them. I play Xbox but my daughter plays the PC and same issues.

    My point was really if it truly was heartless cash cash grab every bit of content zos releases would be a cash grab

    Example with EA like practices:

    Base game released you get the main story quest
    but for a extra 20 bucks you get to go to cyrodil
    then for another 20 bucks you get craglorn
    ect

    Even worse could be:

    10 bucks to unlock vet levels

    To sum up my thoughts, all i think regarding "zos only cares about cash" yes to a degree is it a business BUT a big but it could be far far far worse, infact i think zos is pretty decent 90% of the time cash wise

    The disconnects are not limited to one platform. I play on PC, been here since early release. Up until last week, I had only had occasional disconnects. I think I've had more disconnects since last week than all the previous months playing. Cyrodiil is the worst. Cyrodiil wasn't bad for me until last week, when I got kicked to logon multiple times in the middle of huge fights, only to be faced with multiple failed logons, and subsequent game issues only a few minutes after getting back. I am not alone, as others in my group are having similar issues since the patch at the beginning of June. Sure, this is only anecdotal proof, but from my perspective, zos broke something with that patch.
