Maintenance for the week of March 25:
• [COMPLETE] ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – March 28, 9:00AM EDT (13:00 UTC) - 12:00PM EDT (16:00 UTC)
Is there a way to cut down on some of the ubiquitous downtime of ESO?
This game has more downtime than any other game I play, lets list a few of them and ask if maybe we could improve this.
- Slow login screen itself has been beaten to death slow load times waste my time. Time waste.
- Waiting for the PVE queue for dailies. Time waste.
- Waiting for the BG queue for dailies. Time waste. You really cannot put me in a single fight for 8 minutes? How many players are even playing? Time waste.
- Kicked/Leave PVE/BG queue for dailies = 15-20minute freeze out. This could be me leaving a massacre in bgs you put me in or a daily where the objectives are half done. Time waste.
- Constant having to zone INTO/OUT OF buildings in cities. Some cities have outdoor vendors. Surprise! Those cities are popular, like Rawl'kha. Time waste.
- Cyrodiil horse simulator 2000. Zone needs to be 1/3 the size. Time waste riding around it 24/7.
- Cyrodiil performance period. Cmon stop wasting time.
- Being bugged in bg's means you either have to quit and get locked out AND lose any rewards, or sit there and do nothing the whole game. Time waste.
- You dont even have a public queue for trials FFS. Its 2018. Sitting in zone spamming for a group. Time waste.
- No raid signups built into the game so players have to daisy chain google docs/discord/add-ons to even schedule raids. Time waste.
- Quests which make you run 4500 feet just to talk to some other guy. Running all over for quests is not fun. Doing stuff for quests is. There is a lot of time waste in quests of stuff that provides 0 value. The "Run through the gates" quests of Psijic is a great example. The entire psijic quest line is a big "Run all over the game for no real reason" time waste.
- Searching through guild stores is laughably bad. Even with addons. Time waste.
I could list this stuff forever and I just wonder why its not getting more attention. 60% of my time on this game is either waiting for load screens or waiting for some other stuff. Is there no way to cut down on some of this?
