    As a professional game developer myself, I don't understand how this team can continue to produce such poor quality content when it comes to systems. Their art and design teams are good. But their gameplay systems are terrible buggy and it seems that it gets little to no QA time. It's disturbing, to say the least, and if I was a part of this development team I would be so ashamed.

    Dear ZOS,

    The reason why my friends and I bought Morrowind was exclusively for Battlegrounds. We were excited for the new way to experience PVP in the game. But there's one HUGE problem. We can't get into a match together. The queue finder is BROKEN. It was broken during PTS and it's broken on Live. Why do you keep releasing content that's broken, that you know is broken. The game is very fun when it works but with the 1) Lag 2) Class Imbalances 3) not being able to Queue, this game is unplayable for a good chunk of the time.

    The base minimum expectation when I buy a product is that it actually works. Going forward, I'm going to have to stop pre-ordering ESO content until I'm sure what I'm buying works.

    Thanks,
    Skoomah

    The entire first year of the game on "live" was pc beta testing for consoles...and we paid them!

    I wont lie.... everything else is ok BUT battle grounds. Zos this is pathetic!... ANY OTHER COMPANY would be like "*** we need to fix this asap and roll it out asap! But nah.... the player base has never been your concern has it zos.

    How do you know that they ARE'NT working to fix it? Why do you assume that? I am absolutely certain that the developers are working on improving and solving the situation. Even with bets testing, it is an awfully damn complicated business getting these extremely complex applications to work the way they are conceived.

    This.

    They are releasing on a deadline, which means incomplete product, scaled back features, and fixes after release. If they released when ready, there would be fewer bugs, and more features, but people would call it vaporware and complain that it is taking too long. By people, I mean Marketing, but players would probably share the thought if they knew it was coming.

    First, OP, stop yelling in thread titles. Turn off your damn caps lock.

    I'll devil's advocate here...

    @ProfesseurFreder , how can you be absolutely certain? There are bugs that have been in the game since beta, like bound items still coming up in the list of items in mail or guild store / bank? That's nothing more than a simple filter, and yet it remains to this day.

    That's just one example.

    I can't wait to see if consoles will have this issue on release when ZOS was aware of this bug for 2 weeks... If they release morrowind on consoles with these bugs... oh boy i can't imagine the rage

    Some of the Looking For Group issues are server-side. I am not sure how many fixes require client changes.

    "Yelling in threads" as you call it is quite impossible.

    Yelling- to cry out or speak with a strong, loud, clear sound; shout:

    I don't think text can produce a strong, loud, clear sound. He is however using caps lock to make emphasis on his point of view when read. I don't see anything wrong with that if you ask me.

    Some people have no patience at all. Chill out -- I am certain ZOS is aware of the problem and working on ways to make it better.

    It may be complicated but the fact is they still release an unfinished product. They have had the chance to test these things before release. Now I love the game but seriously this kind of behavior is pretty sad. Nothing seems to be thought out. The new warden skill that teleportation players to you has been released with the knowledge that players are abusing it in IC. These aren't unforeseen bugs, thsee are things that have been discussed during PTS. They should have been fixed before release.

    They keep releasing it because you keep buying it. This is a cruel world mate.

    Yeah, but fixes and changes require time, and when driving a deadline, time is not a plentiful resource. The dev team will stick around for a couple weeks after release to fix the big bugs and issues, but after that, they are off driving another deadline. The combat team will continue to look at changes and make them as necessary, but expect them to take a couple of weeks to do it, if they decide to do it between Updates.

    kek, you do remember this is EARLY ACCESS. and not full relase, right? Don't be so salty until the expanion has relased for real, which is 06.06.2017. Until then we can't really complain much. Though, of course is good that we report bugs and problems. will only help for smoother relase. If the Battleground is still broken after 06.06.2017, then we can start being salty about it.

    They would love to stop releasing broken content. They really would. They just don't know how.
