Vivec Xbox is unplayable

Mephisto939

I finally get my queue. Ride to keep to defend, and i can't get in the door, can't cast etc.. Game crashes. I have to log in 3 times (it always takes 3 times).I spawn back at gate, port to next keep since we lost the last one, can't cast etc... game crashes... 3 more log in attempts. This was my first 15 minutes of PVP today. The only thing ZOS got right about this event was the title because it is definitely mayhem.

MJallday

Played all of last night and today.
Only issues I had
1) queue time on vivec last night was 20 mins
2) frame rate was shocking at a keep when lots of ppl around.Must have been down to 3-5fps (difficult to tell on an xb1x)
3) imp city boss achievement is broken (but that’s acknowledged by Zos) and isn’t required for SMK achievement anyway

No dc issues though and FPS was great outside keeps and other ppl

Mephisto939

The third time I logged in it seems to work.

i really wonder if some people do have unrecognized network problems that come into play when they're using ESO.

i'm not hardwired and i'm almost 1,500 miles from the server; i don't even have a particularly fancy ISP setup. i'm just reasonably careful about the things i can easily control, and i don't have a tenth of the connection problems that people talk about on the forums.

i know people enjoy claiming that if they don't have problems with other games then it's ZOS's fault, but that's silly. if you really think the problem's not on your end, that doesn't mean it's on ZOS's end. claiming that shows that you're failing to account for the entire middle, which is easily the biggest part.

this isn't directed at anyone in particular (and for the educated people who've traced and changed their hops i don't know what to tell you) but it just seems obvious to me that if the problem is the source, then everyone using that source would have the problem. and i'm sure i don't. with how constant the complaints have been, it isn't just my good luck.

but i don't want to sound rude either. i really wish this was all already figured out, so that the forums could go back to talking about playing the game (rather than not playing the game).

I have zero connection issues in PVE. I also have a high speed cable internet hardwired connection. The 3 times login issue always happens during a keep fight as the first and second attempt it is trying spawn you into the battle,but can't handle it so it spawns you back at the gate the third time. So I blame ZOS for at least 95% of the connectivity problems.

Go to a different campaign. There's plenty to choose from. AP is AP.
Problem solved.

That. Vivec was bad last night, will be bad each and every night between now and the end of the event, and after the event it'll go back to marginal.

Mephisto939

The problem is I have been playing Vivec all month and I want my gold rewards.

Agreed, it is a problem that the event cuts off the last few days of the 30 day.

Its definitely the servers, I got off last night and played GTA, zero issues what so ever.

I live less than 3 hours from thier HQ, have internet speeds generally above 140M and am hardwired. I’ve also worked in IT for 14.5 years.

It’s not my connection that’s the problem.

That still isn't a valid argument. You have a guest campaign for a reason. Farm AP there. If getting 100k AP in your Home is still needed, you'll have to log on during off-hours. Your claim of not being able to play is definitely false. You have options - your unwillingness to use them is on you.

Stop telling people to switch campaigns, we shouldnt have to run from the lag and crashes. ZOS should run to fix it

Mephisto939

My experience so far this morning. Queue up...wait an hour and get in. Was about to cap first keep... Froze,/crashed..log back in and... shocker I am back at gate.Played for an hour without issue... then received message "booted from server" (worst error message of all time). Finally got back on after about 10 attempts, but surprise surprise...kicked out cyrodil. Requeue.... position 250. This is the kind of crap we deal with daily, but the long queues during the event make it unbearable.

Mephisto939

It just happened again. Got into vivec after 2.5 hours of waiting. Played for an hour, crashed... tried log in...get half a dozen internal server error messages. Finally get back... booted from cyrodil again. Queue at 520. I give up ZOS. You win. To hell with the 3.5 million AP I raked in this month and to hell with my gold rewards. Give my regards to the development team that must be headed by Molag Baal himself.

Lol I can’t see how anyone can type all of this when zos has publicly came out about trying to improve the servers and adding improvements for better performance.

Just because you don’t experience it doesn’t mean it’s everyone else’s fault. I have internet designed specifically for gaming and I’m sure there’s others with top tier internet and custom PCs that still experience server issues.

Zos has been saying they were going to fix pvp for several years now. I can’t remembee when it was, but I think after they fixed the load screen problem pvp was much less laggy. Then again, that could have been because there weren’t as many people playing.

MJallday

It’s unplayable now, you can’t even get on the EU server lol

Don't worry it's not just Xbox its every damn server they have. I'm on PC NA and I can't even play this garbage for 10 minutes without getting crashes. Sometimes I question why I even pay for a membership if i'm getting poor quality gameplay? Then as soon as you hop on the forums they have a HUGE banner that runs across the bottom taking half the screen saying "join midyear mayhem by buying ESO now"...... Maybe if they put the amount of time they put into creating that banner into fixing PvP there wouldn't be this many problems...

They haven't fix jack crap. They came out publicly saying they FIXED the problems and a patch was supposed to "fix" the problems FOR this event but instead made it worse. This has been an ongoing problem since the game first came out in 2014 and is a lot of the reason why some people try the game and quit it immediately. But ZO$ doesn't care as long as that one person bought the game their games state and performance means nothing to them. I would not put it past them to create a crown store item that you have to buy for $300 that will fix all the problems. They are more then capable of doing it but having people spend MORE money is more important to them.

To be fair they did '"fix' the random freeze ups that THEY introduced with Summerset.

I think its a great thing that queing in vivec takes so long. I checked the ranking and i was ranked 5000+ XD Its nice to see PvP so alive rather than the last couple months of it being deserted. Even during midnight there are people still on. I wouldnt complain about taking so long to que in vivec because thats a good thing meaning people are actually in PvP
BUt the framedrop and lag is bad though. 1 keep was the last emp keep and it was gonna be a fat tick and my 3 other friends were small scaling. we were killing some reds in the corner tower and couldnt vigor or ult. took like 4 seconds for our bottons to go off. sadly we had to miss out on the ap because we left the keep due to lag

Its definitely the servers, I got off last night and played GTA, zero issues what so ever.

@regime211 it seems like you missed my whole point. check that third paragraph again, and keep it in mind while re-reading the entire post you quoted. you've somehow ignored a big bit.

(or if you didn't miss my point, i wonder if that falls under the "baiting" criteria used in this forum. i'm not the type to report someone, though.)

Only issue I've had are the queue's, everything else has been really smooth bar 1 long load screen and a little lag when 80+ players were storming a keep.
