my god people freak out. I'm thankful the game exists in the first place. This stuff happens, sure it sucks, but at least they're fixing it instead of just letting people get barely any xp for everything they're doing and letting others get a crap ton of xp in IC, Just chill out, go have a puff or 10, watch a movie, say hello to family/friends, catch up things that need to get done, it'll be back when it's back

I've loved this franchise, ever since the first release over 25 years ago and have spent a small fortune on the game. This latest ESO release has already cost me almost £1500. I bought three copies for my family, all Imperial editions plus hard copy deluxe editions of the statues and art books (for both The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited and Morrowind, plus for two of the accounts I've subscribed every month until the game went free, then continued with ESO plus, with a short break from August to October last year when my wife had a brain haemorrhage (but only for my account and not the family accounts). I don't mind the useless cosmetic features I'm able to buy with the Crowns I get for subscribing to ESO plus as I like to change my mounts appropriate to each environment e.g. camel for the deserts and appearance for the different quests etc; plus the extra space for junk enables me to farm more and make more gold to invest in Motifs and Master Writs etc, which I usually purchase via guild stores....... but, the constant breakdowns...........I play several hours every day and in that time it's guaranteed that ESO will crash a minimum of four or five times; usually at a critical moment. It sometimes makes my blood boil, especially when I'm opening a Master chest or am in the middle of fighting the main boss in a delve and especially when in a group dungeon. The number of times I've let a group down because of a crash is significant.

Every Monday my game time is eaten into by the EU servers going offline during daylight hours instead of how they used to back 2 years ago when they went offline when most community members were tucked up in bed dreaming of their next dungeon experience i.e. 3 am in the morning instead of the 9 am now. Today they were still offline at 4.30pm, that's 7.5 hours. I usually dedicate the late afternoon and early evenings to my kids' school work and family time, so now I don't get to play at all this Monday because of this clean-up. I'd literally just logged back in after logging off this morning 30 seconds before the servers went offline and within less than a minute I got the five-minute warning that the servers were going offline again....... Grrrrrr........

Why are the EU servers taken offline every Monday during the day instead of early morning? It seems like a reasonable request that they should go offline at the quietest time of the day at least in the E.U. ESO says it was by popular demand; however, it seems to me it was the US community that weren't happy they were losing evening play time as they went offline at the same time as the E.U. servers did, which meant on the Eastern seaboard they would lose servers at 10pm and on the Pacific side at 7pm and even earlier in Hawaii and Alaska time zones (5 and 6pm respectively). Why can't the US and E.U. servers go offline at different times??????

I'm getting really fed up of what seems to me like ......... well, you've heard it all before so I won't rant anymore, To the haters ........

I feel bad for all the devs and designers who want to be proud of their work and get shafted by the money men wanting to rush stuff out and influencing elements of game design to prey on the psychological weaknesses of a lot of gamers.
This patch has been a bit of a mess.

Wolfkeks

Never expect things to work on a patch day, and to be honest, a day without playing ESO but with a few less bugs is okay. (Well, at least I hope they fix the bugs )

Shadowmaster

Game is unavailable to paying customers for roughly a half of a day, will we be compensated for that lack of access?

A rollback would make lots of people mad. Especially the ones who capitalized on the exploits. Eh. I don't feel sorry for those people. However there are those like myself who won't exploit, but will lose out on some good stuff because they will never get the same drops again, and that's just not quite right.

Beodamacsa

Aw man i just got up all excited to play and bam! its still down "sad Face"

I hope Zenimax will identify all these exploiters and punishes them properly.
Yet instead, a rollback would probably be the best solution.

ZOS should use +1000 times as much resources to ensure that this sort of infinite incompetence level *** up don't happen again than going after exploiters.

Repeat again its wiping repentantly on first trash in Wayrest 1 skill level.

GlennGVZ

I had a thread shut down for mentioned ZOS incompetence, and was redirected to here.

Luckily it seems they tolerate the word incompetence in the official thread.

Many people who play here work as developers, and this sort of garbage delivery would and should get some people fired.

There is NO apology that I can see for releasing this buggy and untested garbage into a production environment.

It is not the players (or exploiters) fault.

It is the management staff who oversee development, and approve move from PTS to LIVE.

If the managers were relieved of their duties every time a patch had to be patched as a matter of practice, after the first two rounds of firing it would not happen again

Hi all,

Since this thread is no longer needed, we've decided to close it.

Thanks!
