    True story. Me and someone else waited for over 3 hours tonight on dungeon finder to put us into a group. Nothing. Same has happened a few times. You're lucky you even get put into a group to get the group abandoned. I don't even get that far most of the time.

    Play on PS4 and tried to play on XBOX because a few of my buddies got the game. Blew my mind how terrible the game plays on XBOX compared to PS4. Figured they'd be the same quality and wow they are not.

    yeah its awful, i dc'd 9 times tonight in vmol at the first boss, running back grabbing aggro popping a horn and just freezing hahaha its so bad idk why we even try tbh, miss that trial so much, group finder, linking an item from your bank to be stuck in menu, so many silly little things that render this game a pain instead of a fun thing to do. ye we still do it

    Although probably not as bad or often, PC gets some of the same problems. We definitely all get kicked from group finder after reaching the dungeon. Anytime I do a dungeon now, I have to manually port in using the map.

    PC is a smoother experience. I understand why the console game is in trouble. To fix it would require zos to spend a substantial amount of dollars.

    DId zos bite off more than it can chew, releasing it on 3 platforms?

    What ever it takes, they should fix it. It may even we don't see content for a while. Its not fun and just about pointless when your gaming night is like that.

    Maybe you have a full hard drive or something?
    I get some lag a lot of the time, but that's because I'm about as far as you can get from either server.
    All of these other problems are only occasional. Except being ganked. I'm like a *** target dummy if I go to Cyrodil.

    What kind of chicken are you sacrificing to Apollo?

    Popeyes? KFC? Boston Market?

    I'd get an update on that before totally giving up.
