Can we have an update re: Guild History?

"for now"

Lol:) And 'for now' I turned off my crown store purchases:) New furniture pack+ Iron training dummy + new hairless kitty:) I bit more than 10k crowns. And add the same pack for my husband + new fluffy banker and merchant:) In total 30 k crowns we won't spend:) Not to mention 2 cancelled subscriptions. Somebody doing a good business here. I'm very grateful for saving me a bit of money, ZOS.

I will summarize what I apparently said poorly before. Let's stay on topic and not engage in any arguments like those that shut down the other two threads. What I'd like to focus on is: a request for additional information as often as possible and also, to for us to provide as much information as we can to ZOS about what's going on with our guilds, players, etc to assist them.

I’d like to focus on restoring our guild histories and API access to them.

Failing that, sure, communication. But my primary request is to undo this utter hamstringing of guild management.

And yes, stay on topic, please. This is vital functionality for many players. If you have some other tangential (or not) topic, be respectful and make your own thread.

Console would like to know as well, just in case this is going to happen to us, despite not having add-ons.

Also for heart-felt commiseration with our fellow trade guildies; separation by server is immaterial

I have had increased performance.

I haven't, it's been just as bad where it was bad before. It feels that way, anyway.

It seems to have been related to the guild chat delays we saw early in the week after the patch. Turning off the history does seem to have improved the lag. It was really bad on Monday night.

WHY there should have ever been a situation without enough capacity to access guild history and do guild chat at the same time, well that is the real question.

Agree that we need the APIs back ASAP. The addon api is a major feature of the game. To have it cut with no warning because of chat issues...sheesh

This has *nothing* to do with this topic. Be respectful and keep your topic in your own thread.

New day, new request - can we have an update please on restoring api access to our addons?

That "for now" is very worrisome, this is about getting to know what ZOS intends to do and when, sales history is too much important.

This is a backend performance scaling issue, in my opinion, and the problem is made worse by addons that pull from the backend databases. They are probably thinking that if they disable the addons, at least some functionality can be restored successfully.

Hopefully, they are working on the real issue, the fact that their backend design is not scaling to meet the player demand. Or whatever the problem is.

As for an update, I expect nothing before the Monday patch notes. This is because there is probably not anything new to say.

I am doing this (keeping this thread up) for multiple reasons, only one of which is to get this requested update.

Can you at least sticky Gina's thread?

It really boggles my mind that some people expect to get any kind of update on a weekend. ZOS are not a hospital, police or firefighters. They have regular 5-day work week and expecting anything before monday is just setting yourself up for disappointment.

That is not my primary reason to keep asking. Don't let it bother you.

Philio

Really need this functionality to be re-enabled ASAP!

I cant manage my trade guild effectively now!

AS a consequence I have played a lot less and can already see the effect on my guild. This needs to be remedied please.

Please do not underestimate how important this is for trading in PC

Thanks

Tbh I don't expect them to do much tomorrow for the case. They may give us access to manually check guild history, but otherwise it looks like waiting for ATT/MM/SGT to work properly again is just another waiting game.

And meanwhile we are waiting, manual work will increase...

@ZOS_GinaBruno - copy and paste that with your post, Stabs.

It's the anxiety. I feel a lot of responsibility towards my guild and its members. Not knowing IF, let alone WHEN this issues will be resolved is causing me more angst than one might think - guild leaders notwithstanding.

I don't expect a formal update until after the patch tonight, but it's worth keeping the issue at the forefront to press home that we do still care, and this still does matter a lot.

My fever dream: ZOS actually figured something out, and that both guild histories and add on functionality will return with the patch.

Let me dream, if just for a few hours.

I disagree about no one being there this weekend. I bet they are there. So many issues going on...

See if the issues were fixed, I would have agreed with you. But they definitely aren't.

I do too. I think they are working to fix it right now. They are probably working extra.

StabbityDoom

We won't know, because they don't tell us, which is the problem.

Ardan147

They seem to be as unforthcoming as humanly possible regarding this.

And then there are those players who apparently want to see API access to guild data permanently removed, probably just to spite us

There does seem to be a lot of anger and resentment. It's kind of shocking. But don't let them derail us. We will keep on asking for information, the restoration of the api readability, and explaining the impact.

We need SALES HISTORY, what MM provides.

You are NOT providing QUALITY OF LIFE improvements (a detailed sales history should be in game, even the mails can't say in which guild an item sold or retain the price, which is absolutely ridiculous! In other words: not even THE BASIC!), the fact you turned off that functionality, simply thrown us in the Dark Ages of trading!

The fact there is no ETA or any further word about it, is very aggravating.

The fact that many quality of life improvements to the console version of the game is surprising. Maybe we should get all these add-ons that are so great on PC added to the base vanilla game so all platforms can use them?

Anything related to the trader, changing gear through macros, icons to keep track of dots, skyshard locations, lorebooks locations, true DPS parse breakdown so people can see where they can improve, you know stuff that could improve everyone's gameplay?

Fair warning:

Do not take bait from people who attempt to change or sway the topic of this thread. They have done it before, they have derailed, and they have gotten threads on this topic closed.

This thread is not about anything other than restoring PC access to the guild history and restoring API access to the history.

Stay on topic.
