Last Straw

I can take the lag. I can take the horse simulator. I can tolerate the infinite load screens even in moderation.

But when your game crashes so hard it RESETS ALL MY SETTINGS

INCLUDING MY ADD-ONS

I quit. Sticking to BGs from now on. Good luck in that coder's wasteland that is known as Cyrodiil.

Why don't you just set the settings files to read-only?

Datolite

Good idea. Lock that ish down.

Or better yet, have a backup copy of the settings.txt file?

Or simply reload UI after making the changes you wanted.
Seems a bit simpler

I don't think you read me right.

Or make sure you didn't load into a temporary Windows Profile after the crash. This sounds like an issue outside of the game. Check your drive's health too.

Have you reset your router?

pzschrek

Please make sure you have a valid internet connection.

LegendaryMage

Make sure your Windows updates are all in order.

Do what I did.

Open your inventory. Unlock everything in there. Unlock and unequip your equipped set. Go into your craftbag and retrieve as many items as you can hold in your inventory.

Now, right-click on the top-most item, select Destroy.

Do this for everything in your inventory, when it is empty, return to your craftbag and continue retrieving and destroying everything in there. Do the same for everything in your bank. Once you've destroyed everything, logout to the character screen and Delete that character. Do the same for any alts you may have. WHen you are out of deletes, wait for the cooldown to finish and continue Deleting Everything.

Now, you will not be able to change your mind and start playing again, and are free to find another, superior product to enjoy.

All the legendary Berserking Warrior, Briarheart, Morag Tong, Ravaging gear that took me months to farm, all the crafting research, up in smoke! It was exhilarating! Now I can go and play a game that will actually be a rewarding experience.

I came to the realization today that I am ethically opposed to games that take this much time and work to master. I don't want to wait 2 or 6 or 8 months to unlock research progress, or mount upgrades, to get that final piece of gear to drop in the trials. It's a chore, it's something this company should be paying ME to do. In the end, all the hard work would be undermined anyways by the fact that the servers lag so bad I can't even land a single light attack even when there's a swarm of players milling around directly in front of my character; drop a Dawnbreaker of Smiting on 6 players and no one gets CC'ed or a single tick of the DoT. This game is for people living in regions adjacent to the servers; if you don't, you'd be better of cutting ties and not wasting any more time or effort on this company's product.

Sounds like that pesky System32 is at it again

Server attacks cannot be blocked or roll dodged, I’m afraid

Whoa. I mean I'm giving up on Cyrodiil, not the game. Also, it just sounds to me like MMOs might not be your thing. Hate to break it to you but all of them have an element of grind. and ESO's is actually on the lower end of that scale.

Also, maybe you should not be on these forums? Just a thought.

There's nothing interesting in the game to me outside of PvP. The dungeons and trials are entertaining for a short time, but after running CR at least a hundred times, I was cringing at the thought of having to it over again for the perfected gear, same with vHRC for the berserking gear, after farming that for weeks I couldn't stand that anymore.

So after working for so long to get some PvP sets for my stamplar I discover that it was all pretty much for naught as I couldn't even land 90% of my light or heavy attacks, a significant proportion of the time I couldn't get roll dodges or break frees or bar swaps to activate, or land any hits with my AoE's, even when all these things clearly should have had some effect on enemies.

The lag is probably also why my ICD's seemed weirdly long compared to rotations I was seeing on YouTube, and why I was having such trouble determining when my skills were activating, which was preventing me from getting any parses over 30K.

Just massive, crushing disappointment as I think the combat system is one of the best I have ever seen in any game, such potential in this game, but completely hamstrung by a hobbled infrastructure and adherence to what I view as an outdated design philosophy.
