First time in vmaw last Thursday, made it passed the twins and to rakkhaat, I was almost positive I was about to get skinned, and that's when the group started to Disconnect. Sigh

@SASQUATCH0 Damn dude...good luck, try and get it b4 Morrowind homie.

Thanks man.. hopefully I can get in on another run before morrowind. I'm basically a 2nd string chainer in the guild I'm in, so hopefully one of the 1st strings can't make it lol.

What's a chainer?

A mag dk that chains on the 2nd boss

Don't the tanks just do it

In more experienced groups, yes. Most progression groups use mdks so the tanks can focus more and keep the boss still, I guess. I had chainers in my first complete but tanking skinrai is so easy I helped to make it easier

Finally got skinned on Saturday night.

I personally DCd 4 times (add pull right before the boss, standing in the boss room, and then walking back to the first boss room twice).

Took us a few tries to get through the first boss ... had to get a pull where we didn't lose any tanks or healers to DCs.

Everything was smooth after that ... no problems on the Twins or any of the other pulls leading up to Rakkhat.

We lost, I believe, 7 people to DCs on the first Rakkhat pull. A few more on each subsequent pull after that. Then we figured out positioning that seemed to keep anyone from getting DCd. Basically, if the pad adjacent to the backyard door is #1, going clockwise, we had the whole group (except main tank) stand between pads #2 and #3 to start the fight (just stay there until Rakkhat gets to pad #3).

No idea how much is superstition and how much actually makes a difference, but we did:

* Everyone wears the skeleton polymorph
* Turn output resolution down to 720p
* Turn music off and sound off in game settings
* Turn combat text off in game settings
* Turn text chat, health bars, nameplates, notifications, and anything else you can think of off
* Use XBox Live party instead of in-game chat since people are going to disconnect

Took us about 5-6 hours to get it done. Would've been faster but we lost half the group after a few crashes on Rakkhat.

Be sound to know from any techies if that stuff makes any difference really or is just superstition as you say

Hard to say. It all makes sense to some extent (including limiting skills used that have big visual effects; heard people recommend to not use Vigor or Healing Springs, people recommend that the tank should just stare at the ground in first-person to avoid crashes on first boss) ... we're just trying to limit the load on the CPU/GPU assuming that the system is getting overloaded and that's the cause of the disconnects.

Turning the sound and music off seemed to make the biggest difference for me, but that could all be anecdotal. Who knows. Not like ZOS is doing much communicating with us on the topic.

Walties99 · May 2017

I guess we'll know next Monday if they really have a fix for it. More than likely they will ignore this thread until then, and probably past that if it's still broken.

So maybe...

Not really, I'm a very patient person but even mine are starting to wear thin

DjMuscleboy02 · May 2017

zos trials are broken on console pls hotfix immediately

MrFish024 · May 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can we please get some info on the incoming fixes with Morrowind that you have mentioned on eso live? It's been 98 days since we reported this issue with the launch of homestead and nothing is better, trials have actually gotten worse. The last post you made in this thread was well over a month ago. There is a reason why this thread has over 1.2k comments and almost 50k views. This is a game breaking issue that has been ingnored long enough.

SASQUATCH0 · May 2017

Spent an hour alone on the first boss because of DCs!!! This is ridiculous!

We gone beat da hard mode tonight. It's not that bad with just 3 people crashing -_-

Good luck! Hope you guys can do it before Morrowind drops.

Walties99 · May 2017

Nope we sucked big time. There's also 2-3 crashes per attempt usually on pad 2. Not rly worth reporting because they won't fix it.

DjMuscleboy02 · June 2017

Was surprisingly pleased yesterday when I was able to complete a raid without any disconnects. Sure, it was a pug run of sorts, but it was still good fun.

Then I got off WoW to come do vAA.

Izaki · June 2017

You know the funniest part? The funniest part about this is that the freezes are happening in the exact same way and the exact same places as back in SotH when vMol was last broken.

lol

We had a half-dozen disconnects in vAA HM last night. It was incredibly laggy right from the start. Lost 2 on the first boss. I went bye-bye on the second boss, along with another DPS. We lost a healer on The Mage (which is really great on AA HM), and then another DPS on another attempt at The Mage.

Sometimes you have to wonder why we put all of this effort into gearing up and practicing for raids that don't actually work. I mean, seriously. I'm paying real money to deal with this frustration. And paying in-game money, too, since ZOS, in their infinite wisdom, decided to make running Trials a gold sink.

I don't even see the point in tagging @ZOS employees anymore ... they've been ignoring us for a month now.

The fact that even the exploits that were fixed came back indicates they kind of reverted to the old broken Maw code or something.

It really is appaling how long they are taking to fix this.

My guild is very excited to have 5 trials to run instead of 2,5 (Hel Ra is kind of broken half the times) when Morrowind comes. But if they don't fix HRC and Maw and Halls is broken, I really think the team we assembled and trained in the last 4 months will disband.

RebornV3x · June 2017

After a month away this is still a thing I wonder what new bugs will come with BG and the new trial this new DLC will be a disaster

MrFish024 · June 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno After completely ignoring this for the last month and a half, they better have some fixes or get ready to lose a large portion of the Xbox playerbase.

Let's be honest. If they don't fix it, they might lose 100 players max because of trials issues lol.

Feanor · June 2017

I hope at least HoF will work for you guys. It's really really awesome.

I'm not getting my hopes up ... we're resigned to just trying to up our scores on vAA and vSO at this point, can't play anything else.

I got a little taste of HoF on PTS and it was really cool. Hopefully there will be a MoL-like streak glitch so that we can at least get in there and farm gear when the Trial doesn't work.
