XBOX Extreme lag/disconnects/broken chat/no reason communication bans

@ZOS_GinaBruno

I have a guild full of very angry and frustrated people who are threatening to cancel their ESO subs because of the craziness that's been happening on Xbox since Friday, Jan. 13. I have people who have been banned from communication because the chat system has completely gone off the rails, I have people getting DC'd every few minutes (not just in Cyrodiil but all over PvE land) and the lag that used to only happen in the busiest of Cyrodiil campaigns is plaguing people all over your One Tamriel -- we've put up with it until this weekend. This weekend has been insane, like someone at ZOS got fed up and hit a bunch of switches to make the game nearly unplayable for those of us on Xbox. Please tell us that someone's going into the office and kicking the machines, that you've found them, got rid of them and are working to fix what they broke. Please.

This is getting flat out ridiculous. I was in Skull of Corruption about noon CST, and nobody was in it. Still, the lag made the game absolutely unplayable. I lost 60 key shards in the Monstrous Tooth vault because even thought I could open the chest, I couldn't loot it, and eventually the chest timed out and shut. NPC's in imperial city were teleporting all over the place, and none of my attacks would work, voice chat is completely broken, and so on.

I've put alot of cash into this game over the past 2 years, including my ESO plus subscription. Now that Oblivion is backwards compat and Skyrim is out on Xbox ONE, I really don't see the reason I should keep spending money on this game if I can't play it and have plenty of other options available.

I have been in and out of ESO for the past 6months.... Love the concept, lore, especially PvP ECT.... Kinda lost the inner fire for the game back in July due to the extreme lag, numerous bugs and glitches that plagued the land but I keep coming back hoping that something has changed.... Pretty disheartening to see that after so much time has passed it is still no different in the realm of fixing things... And after this weekend of playing.... It's kinda beyond the point of sad but rather comical... One Tamriel is about playing with everyone and being social... Kinda difficult if the chat is no better than an weak signal FM radio station. Anyways, my two cents to add just based upon my observations this past 6months.... I would happily pay for ESO Plus if the game worked but not having payed since July leaves me with no regrets at this point due to the sheer amount of technical problems that seemingly are never acknowledged by the developers teams.

I agree with the comments above. PVP is basically unplayable given the server lag. I pay for both Xbox live and ESO plus subscriptions which add up to $300/year, and I feel like I'm not getting any value for my money. I dont see why this problem can't be fixed easily and quickly. Honestly, with the new Playstation VR, I would recommend to new players to quit Xbox and look at other MMOs that are a better playing experience.

LOL, waiting on "For Honor".

My mates and I have been having a lot of lag issues for months.
I for one am not spending any more money on this game untill they fix it.
This is meant to be a mega server capable of a high amount of players from all over the world.
Every time another player comes any where near us the game lags, locks up or crashes.
Have to wait for the npc's to draw before we can hand quests in, 45-60 sec.
Same with the bank, have to wait for them to draw.
But the last few days have been unplayable for us.
Falling though the ground, dieing for no reason, lock ups, can't loot, can't hand quests in, freezing and dc's.
My legendary bow was there 1 minute, gone the next, had to make another one.
My mates epic gear...gone

So much for the mega server

I feel ya, I lost 2 monster helms yesterday. I think they forgot to feed the hamsters before they left for the weekend. It was pretty bad.

3-6 times a night ritual after dboarded in middle keep defense,while slowing down to what? 1fps? especially against blue showing up with...everyone,try to reload character, endless load screen, quit game, either- load diff character, log out, load original character, cross fingures, loads outside cyrodiil, re- que, or. remove saved data, pressing button for ten sec to turn off console, wait for light on power box to turn, then unplug from wall, then hit button 3-4 times, wait some more, plug back in, wait for light to change again, turn on, reboot, load up, log in, re-que...

exactly what i always dreamed for, out of all my digital products, why listen to music or watch movies etc when i can listen to zzzccchjhpop and reboot.

and then get grief that im of some sort of instant gratification generation at 40 yrs old. not griping to gripe, i deal with it, obviously, just saying, or even, ill just ask, this is atleast slighty ridiculous right?

makes me miss just pull out the cartridge, blowing it out and shoving back in something aweful
btw-all tge usual stuff should be assumed- that i have or am doing all that i could on my end.

sorry if not exactly on topic was just waiting during ritual...felt like venting

Their servers are getting DDoS'ed which isnt really their fault. Also, the error about messaging is its too many button presses when the lag starts. to the server, not chat ban

KoreanAwtamatic

Yeah it was pretty annoying in skull. I really hope they fix this asap

IzanagiTensei-O

Right?!? They're always blaming someone or something, usually Microsoft. One of my guildies contacted them about the communication ban, they said it was Microsoft. Funny, all other Xbox games aren't having communication problems. And, yeah, @KoreanAwtamatic , Skull was horrible last night and all weekend. I DC'd twice in 2 minutes, then the game told me I didn't have internet connection (which was untrue).

Well, chats are still broken and it's getting annoying as heck.

Does ZOS have any comment at all on the game chat problems? It seems to have become a nightly occurrence that chat will completely die out, people will be disconnected from guild/group chat and occasionally guild chat channels will just completely vanish from the list.

Want a quick response? Use a four-letter word...watch how fast they swoop in and snip. Other than that, they have no interest in fixing the issues with their game. They're too busy working on the useless housing.

In that case, what the HECK is happening here? This kind of CRAP is really FUNKed up.

Chat has been really messed up the last two days, I can't even get into guild chat right now, and it's making doing dungeons and trials near impossible with chat cutting out constantly not to mention the crazy lag and disconnects. Funny how they can fix maw right away, but can't fix the more important issues affecting everyone.

BllyDnsr

Not to mention the increased amount of DCs on Xbox the past few nights. Wait, are they going to blame another DDoS attack for it? They do like to blame others. This time, it'll probably be Xbox they blame.

BllyDnsr

Also, broken as heck -- players are able to walk through walls and doors, even of enemy keeps. But, hey, we're getting housing!
