PC-EU Server Update - April 11

necropola

ZOS is going to sit this out while trying to milk their ESO player base as much as possible in order to fund development of a a new "triple-A-game".

Not a lot of people have picked up on this, but if you look on our job site you’ll see that we are accepting applications for people to work on a new engine for a new triple-A game,” Firor said in the interview. “So yes, we have ideas, but we’re committed to ESO for as long as it takes.

For as long as it takes ...

Can not log in to EU server:

Connection to server has timed out.

I assume they're still working on this if they've left the topic stickied. They're not trying to sweep it under the rug at least, but it would be really great if we could have an update since the patch doesn't seem to have improved anything.

After crashing during combat in pvp (again) I am now met with the same message.

Server has choked on it's own vomit (again).

@ZOS_MattFiror Still waiting on you, are you still alive?

They have probably forgotten about it;)

The performance is worse than ever before.

To be honest I don’t see any changes in server performance. If anything, it’s worse than before.
The only time we were able to play with not many issues was when they implemented the queue to login. We had to wait a bit to get in, but once we got in, the game was performing a lot better than it is now.
Hope they realize that something must be done regarding EU server.

First 30 minutes after patch - kicked to login screen in dungeon, then endless loading screen after finishing.

Question: Hi there! Are there any plans at all to increase server capacity on top of the revamp to the LFG tool?

Answer: We added a ton of capacity a month or so ago to PC EU and PC (We were able to disable the EU login queues when we did this), I don't foresee us needing more capacity, although that could change based on increased player demand. We're definitely keeping an eye on things.

Incase this image is too small someone asked "Hi there! Are there any plans at all to increase server capacity on top of the revamp to the LFG tool?"

and Matt Firor responded "We added a ton of capacity a month or so ago to PC EU and PC (We were able to disable the EU login queues when we did this), I don't foresee us needing more capacity, although that could change based on increased player demand. We're definitely keeping an eye on things."


"I don't foresee us needing more capacity"

I see you unpinned this topic.. meaning it's solved or answered. Why didn't you even bother to answer here in the first place is sad really.. but oh well we still got an answer.

Your answer is a slap in the face though, for me it means that I will not invest any money in this game for a very long time if ever again.

Tulare_Verlaris

At least we have the news that despite however much more "capacity" they implement the problems aren't going away until they sort the fundamentals they are supposedly "working on".

So it is likely to be 6 more months of all these problems at least before there is hopefully improvements.

As much as I appreciate these things take time I am unwilling to keep subscribing and paying for things in this game while it is this much of a mess.

I am also cancelling my sub and stopping playing, maybe I will come back in some months if it has seriously improved. Maybe I will find another game to spend my time and money on, or maybe never come back like I did with WoW. Either way, when it worked it was a fun game, hopefully it gets sorted for everyone.

One final thing I would say is your communication is APPALLING. While you are working on all these improvements, that [your communication] needs to be at the top of priorities for serious and FAST improvement.

Here's some feedback:

You've had three months. Still, nothing appears to have changed.


How are those details going?
Why was this thread unstickied and replaced by "something else"?

Androconium

My PC "had a problem" just after I made this post.

For as long as it takes ...

You know "for as long as it takes" can be interpreted another way as in, They will stick with ESO until it fails or no longer financially viable which it will be for a very long time, 20 year plan and the crown store is a huge cash cow as is the subscription service.

Totally understand why you went in the opposite direction however its not easy to stay positive about ESO lately with performance and buggy AoEs everywhere.

I have been in a queue for 27 minutes and 19 seconds for 20 minutes.

And I paid for the deluxe edition and I sub and havent launched the game yet!

How does it look? tell me someone, I need some positive over here...

Nagastani

So... ummm... why do subscribers have to queue? Legitimate question.

Nagastani

I like eso as much as the next person and am certainly never been one to judge but their marketing team should take note that when promising things like performance improvement and then this issue now, makes it appear like false advertising. Even if the two problems are not necessarily related but still. Not a good issue for opening day unless somehow denying service is itself another marketing ploy. Again, not judging I just wish I could login and if I could login normally, would have no reason to come here.
