Enough is enough, ESO has been out for more 2 years. The PVP loading screens are unacceptable.

Another load screen thread?

It's a combination of lack of bandwidth and server horsepower on ZOS's end. From what I can tell, they're just too cheap to fix it. Those loading screens equal bonuses for upper management coming in under budget.

Probably has more to with *server-side software implementation but I guess you know something we don't about ZoS' infrastructure.

Accept the fact that ESO is a broken product that most likely will never get fixed or just move on to a game that has (more) capable developers.

Take your own advice. You post the same thing in every thread. It's obvious you hate the game and you aren't having fun.

That's why I just accepted that ESO is a broken product managed by terrible developers.

I've been reading a lot about how the mmorpg genre has been dying. I haven't found anything that will be coming out in all of 2016 and 2017 that is like eso. BDO is the closest thing, but the game is pay to win.

BDO: You can buy BiS stuff. But how is it P2W? Ghillie suit in PvP? There are tons of ways to make money. The richest people in game are actually crafters who have built up their crafting empires. You prefer farming? Great! There is a "bad luck protection" implemented in game. Not getting a certain item steadily increases its drop chance with every roll. Gold selling exists in both ESO and BDO and, surely, only a negligible minority buys gold. Furthermore, other than in ESO, BDO actually bans people participating in those activities. A friend of mine bought items for real money on EpicNPC. Apparently they had someone looking through the threads there and were able to track down the time of transaction to his account. Banned permanently! No BS, no unbanning.

ESO: BiS stuff (vMA weapons) has been handed out like candy for a few months to the best players, then gated behind impossible RNG odds for the rest of the community and new players. No matter the effort, you won't get the weapon(s) you're looking for. But you get to watch a bunch of other competitive players use them who got them when they were easy to get with much better RNG. You can buy and sell gold for real money as much as you want. ZOS doesn't care. Many trade guild owners make a decent living in real life off their trading guilds - and ZOS doesn't care to ban them because ... reasons. Don't even get me started on cheat engine.

And regarding the rest - graphics, lore, lag - BDO is much more stable and beautiful. The only reason anyone would choose ESO over BDO is either someone who is a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls lore (like me) or has no idea what he's talking about when it comes to BDO.

FYI, you cant just P2W the best in slot gear in BDO. Well, you could, its just theres limitations on how quickly your able to do it. All you need to do is spend $20,000 over the course of 3 years to get the same gear it would take a year to get by playing competitively.

The long loading screens makes me almost rage quit every night.

Best eso video ever. Next to *** reacting to DB.

In my experience this happens to me 99% of time only when I'm in a group.

I have had it happen to me only one time in recent memory when I wasn't in a group.

SOLUTION:
When it becomes obvious that you have the load bug it is faster to shutdown ESO manually and relog.

RISK:
You may be booted from campaigns with a queue and placed back at the end of the line.

THEORY:
I believe the issue is related to other players still being in group that are marked offline but this is just a corollary observation.

This happened a lot tonight, it was awful

Camelot Unchained is the only one I know that might be close to ESO. But it's still a long ways off. Maybe mid to late 2017? IDK because I'm not paying to play alpha =/

Remove old add-ons from your Addons folder, also delete the SavedVariables files from your old add-ons.

This. We had other bugs related to being grouped, just remember the "kick onrez when offliners are there". I often have very long loading times when I'm in large groups. Even in smaller groups loading seems to slow down.

I suspect there is more related to groups, even other lags in combat may be related to begin grouped.

Perhaps some communication with other clients ? Notifications which wait for responses that never arrive? Who knows.

I had a lot of fun in pvp yesterday. claimed a lot of keeps for my guild. had one bad load screen but it was ABSOLUTELY FINE because it gave me time to get a drink.

Aliniel

Ok, here's an idea. Let's flood the forums with requests for fixes. It is unacceptable for such a problem to persist for over two years. We deserve better. If they keep ignoring us, we should make it impossible for them to ignore us.

how else will the game know youre ready for cyrodiil if you can't beat the loadscreen boss

I dont get them at all on pc aside from every now and again in ghratwood, the only thing i can put it down to is ESO is way more CPU intensive then it is GPU and the ps4 and xbox have a crappy notebook cpu.

Honestly i think the PS4.5 may solve the issue when it comes out.

Edit, Then again generally loading screens are to load assets to the ram/Vram so idk.

I have the PS4 Pro.

Unfortunately, the absurdly long load screens are still present after resurrecting in PVP or when traveling at a Transidus Shrine. I strongly believe that it is crappy server bandwidth and power because I have upgrades my hardware and the game's performance has worsened since One Tamriel.

Do you know ZoS at all?

duncan_cougarpreeb18_ESO

either they are back or never really fixed ..- anyway with the queues are a terror now and loading screens are sometimes just seconds, but can last 15+++ minutes just as easy

NOT acceptable

To play devil's advocate everyone's remarks would carry extra weight if a monthly fee to play was still required.

wait, isn't it? I mean I can't play without the crafting bag due to the games ZOS plays with inventory limits. So afterall, am I not paying monthly?

this... and it's even worse for the console peasant who has no real fantasy MMO alternatives (DO NOT mention NEVERWINTER.. just don't bother).

2017 should be a good year though, at least for my taste. Destiny 2 releases in September(?) and Red Dead Redemption 2 is also supposed to launch in the fall. Don't know a lot about either game, but have heard they are leaning more towards open world MMO'ish type of play.

How will I be able to overcome my Stockholm Syndrome?

I never get loading screens in pvp when I´m all solo, only if I´m member of a group. Someone out there who can confirm you get loading screens while being solo (leaving out the loading screen you get when using a charge ability in the area of sejanus)?

reiverx

Load screens are terrible when I'm in a group, especially if you port to somewhere that has siege on it.

There is a little 'trick' you can do on PS4. Not 100% guaranteed.

Load Netflix or some other application that causes ESO to go into suspended mode.
Exit Netflix after it has fully loaded.
Go back into ESO. When it un-suspends, it will release the load screen.

wouldn't say never, but the difference is about 1000 in 1 (when in group vs solo)

Loading screens suck.....Sorry ZOS but you need to get on this one and find the solution. I had 5 of them last night and 4 times I had to close client and log in only find myself outside queing up again. The last time I just went to bed.

Fix the loading screen syndrome.
