    I had a couple of relatively good days but it's worsened again. Freezes, spontaneous loadings screens, skills not working, no 7 seconds imunity after break free, etc. Yesterday I crashed four times and than couldn't get back in anymore and gave up.

    ZOS, just communicate a bit ...

    Got a refund on my pre-order DLC yesterday, not supporting ZOS financially with this kind of performance drop recently, and them not communicating is just as bad.

    Performance issues in a 3 hour stream get addressed by a bunch of „professionals“ makeing a sad mug for half a minute and stareing on the floor, supposedly acknowledging the problems. 👍

    Because of performance issues with EU server and persistent game breaking bugs I don't even look at elsweyr chapter. No improvements - no money from me.
    Say no to Toxic Casuals!
    I am doing my best, but I am not a native speaker, sorry.


    "Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game." - @AlexanderDeLarge

    The only comms we'll get out of the forum drones is, "we have removed several posts that didn't comply with forum rules". Well, how about the gibbering baboons employed by ZOS comply with the rules of selling products that are fit for purpose and exercising adequate skill and care when delivering a service?

    The most anti-consumer company I have come across in the last few years of gaming, a joke of a company riddled with feckless and incapable employees.

    According to the forum banner we still not only get the silent treatment but no maintenance next week either. :/
    I highly doubt that wrathstone release on 25th will magically cure our server...

    Today we are back to the awful state of the servers from two weeks ago. Any input (skills, light attacks etc.) take 3+ seconds to register, regardless of if you are surrounded by enemies or standing alone in the open.

    HELLLOOOO ZOS! Any information?

    this evening was a nightmare - pings from 400+ to 999+
    I could barely pick up a flower and it´s a miracle we made through the trial without constant wipes..
    @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOSwhoeverisallowedtoanswer: seriously enough is enough - we endured this quite a while now - pls stop ignoring us and at least tell us that someone is working their behind off to fix this.

    I haven't really played ESO since this started a couple of weeks back, I just pop back to the forum now and then to see if ZOS mention their remediation plan (fat chance, the lazy pigs are too busy stuffing the Cash Shop with brightly coloured tat for tweens to do any proper development work). But I thought I'd give it a go last night, did a few Vardenfell dailies, ping seemed OK < 100ms, but when bar swapping there was a few second of lag where my bow would fire instead of melee skills, despite being on the melee bar.

    So I thought, 'let's test a dungeon', formed a group with guildies, got the usual 'someone declined invite' a few times, despite being a pre-formed group, then into vCoH, and suddenly the ping was off the scale. Everyone in the group experienced it to varying degrees. We disbanded and I logged out and went back to FFXIV.

    From ZOS' silence, I can assume they simply want to bury their useless heads in the sand as they have done with the broken since release Finder, until sufficient customers leave that the EU server becomes playable again. Alienating customers is a peculiar business approach, and it implies they don't care because once they've sold the boxed game, they already have the money. There's every chance they simply don't see a future in ESO, so won't invest in permanent fixes as they don't believe they'll get the ROI.

    Last night the server was lagging a lot again, was standing in Vulkel Guard with 2 other friends and we all experience massive lag with the latency increasing to 999+.
    Went to Vivec City to do my daily quests and the same happened. I also noticed while doing some BG that the game was not as responsive.

    It seemed like it had gotten a little better in the past few days but last night it was really bad again.

    I agree with everything stated in this thread:

    PC EU has been performing very poorly since something has been broken there during that maintenance. Lag spikes are awful and unpredictable. They happen even with no other players around and while the character does nothing that could possibly cause a lag spike. Ping overall is very high, like never before, and I've been playing for years.

    It needs to be fixed asap because I don't really look forward to trying to play the new chapter. I want to actually enjoy the game I pay money for. Without this issues fixed, we cannot pay for the game and suffer through it rather than enjoy.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_KaiSchober

    Since Monday's maintenance and software update, the PC/EU-server has suffered a massive quality loss in terms of handling ESO. The login-problems may be fixed, but ping frenzies in PVE dungeons as much as in PVP Cyrodiil, where skills are not accessible for several seconds at a time. This is NOT the normal lag we had before, its at leaste twice as severe - and happening in situations with almost no NPCs or other players around.

    Are you aware of the problem?
    Do you have any idea how to fix this?
    How long will it take you to fix it and will you be able to reestablish at least the status we had before that massivly disruptive maintenance?


    A quick and informative answer would be appreciated.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno still screaming silence, still no answer, acknowledgement, nothing at all, where is YOUR Promised COMMUNICATION?

    NA server had its issues ACKNOWLEDGED WITHIN 30 MINUTES.

    ^ What are you bloody doing??????

    From ZOS' behaviour, we have to conclude that the EU generates far less revenue than the USA. Which is odd, as in each year of recording, the EU has either matched, or slightly beaten, the USA for computer game revenue and recently has higher growth figures.

    That said, APAC are the biggest spenders by far, and ZOS couldn't give a flying *** about those guys. So who knows what ZOS employees are smoking.
