R.I.P. PC EU

KingMagaw

Server is sstill lagging and timing me out on login, then account already logged in few times, then time out, then already logged in etc etc etc

Shameful

Still can't log in to the EU server. RIP my patience.

Started a new toon on the NA server (been playing for 3 years and never touched the NA server before). The difference between them is quite amazing actually, the game just runs so much smoother there.

It's clearly not the case that the team is incapable of maintaining a good server performance. They can and do maintain a good, smooth, stable server. They just don't give a rat's *ss about EU clients.

Really don't care about the activity finder issues announced in the sticky when atm there are:
- login issues;
- zone chat delays;
- server-side disconnects;
- up to infinite guild store loads;
- up to infinite load screens;
- party invites and whispers going into the abyss;
- vendors rolling back transactions;
- a nice necro thread on the forum instilling hopelessness.

Pretty sure I wasn't able to fully experience and appreciate the whole list. While we're at it, I've set up one of my games to run as a mini-game over ESO load screens. Might as well consider building in some tetris, or, hell, Wagner music. Just a friendly suggestion.

What’s really sad is just how boringly predictable the server dying has become. Everyone was expecting the server to die, and it did. We would of been extremely surprised to get through an event with no problems. This really has to stop being the norm.

Got in the game finally for a bit, just to make 1 dungeon to get the event stuff, just to realize it was already turned off.

Came here to make a huge wall of texts with words of disappointment and frustration. But just cannot bother.. meh, i`ll go watch a movie or something then. Because after even the dungeon lagged, so no point going into primetime pvp thats for sure.

It would be funny, if it wasn't so true...

Additionally, we will not hold another in-game event that requires the Activity Finder until we are 100% confident that the tool can support it. Stay tuned for details on that.

The thread really didn't age well.

I'm not blaming the devs for these issues. I don't agree with those that write that they are incompetent or that they should be ashamed of their work or be fired. This is a question of economy so the blame is much higher up the totem pole.

With the money I've spend on this game over the last 2+ years I could have bought a fantastic new gaming PC and a vacation. I feel that I'm being looked down on by Bethesda's management for having spend all that money since they don't fix most bugs and their servers can't handle peak hours and events. I stopped writing bug reports because it doesn't feel like anything is going to be fixed by doing so.

I feel like this thread should just remain forever at this point and probably should of been made in the beta. Because I cant remember a time where EU was ever really stable.

The EU server wasvery stable in the Beta and in the first few month after release, because there were no EU server

I believe that EU server has issues because ESO is very popular in EU and most of the players are in a 1 hour difference in the time zones. SO at the peak time it is the whole Europe online.

BackAndAngry

I predict by end of the year the EU server will have as many pop as NA xDDD

Lul, I distinctly remember multiple crashes back then varying from person to person because of client to user connection issues including myself (not the whole server but thats definitely not the definition of stability ha)

As for popularity, I think honestly without true numbers (not counting steam because its a niche choice for launching the game not nearly as many people use steam compared to the launcher) its very debatable whether that is the case, but the american server should have the same issues as well because its not just the US player base in there, south america too and others further east of Europe who simply have a better connection on NA compared to EU. I need full statistics before I will believe its popularity, it makes more sense that the hub location is poor (which Frankfurt is, happens to be one of the worst in Europe) and the severs hardware is just dated and most likely the operating system as well. Not to mention the game engine itself is a weird DIY "hero" engine.

Yormula

Logged into PC EU to find 3 (!) people in Mournhold and the mighty activity finder that seems dead.

Might I suggest for the next season to be The Season of Lumberyard? *hint*, *hint*, *sad sarcasm*

Finder is semi-ok for tanks, but not for other roles

You still can "spam" finder button, but now you will not see Someone declined, you will get infinite que. Instead, just leave que, then restart, repeate till you get your group. Works for tanks.

So, the latest issue is the game crashing when I try to port.

One of those crashes where it doesn't recognise it's crashed and you can't close the game window without using task manager.

you know Zenimax is not obliged by law to deliver you a working product, be it if you bought the game for 10$ or ESO+ dude who spends 200$ monthly on the game, so have your expectations set accordingly.

log in, if you could play then have at it play 100 hours a day
and if you can't play.. well... don't expect much beside promises from the devs on the forums. it has been like that the past 4 years, and will remain like that for the next 4 years

on a side note- have you bothered reading the 100000 long pages you scroll when you log in to the game after a big expansion?
you can't play the game if you don't agree to it

TOS does not circumvent any laws in place, nor does it absolve responsibility from any laws either.

We really need to petition to have the EU server changed to "Test Server 2", so we at least have our expections set when subscribing. It is quite frankly embarrassing at this point.

I worked in I.T for 30+ years, I would be ashamed if I was a part of the team maintaining this server.

Stay away with your common sense from ZOS - they clearly know it better.

I think the server is dying again, it is taking me ages to log out and back in on my characters while doing writs

L_Nici

Server seems to die once more. Since 10 minutes I can't login. I get to the charactermenu sometimes just to end in an endless loading screen.

Cirantille

I just logged into forum to see anyone else experiencing long loading screen

This topic never disappoints me to appear on the first page, when I am looking for it

MyNameIsElias

@ZOS_GinaBruno EU is dying again just got kicked to login screen.

TragedyOA

Can't log in wtf.

Bucky_13

Yep, looooooong loading screens again. Doing delves in Glenumbra and have 3 min loading screens in and out.

L_Nici

Ohhhhh, I see, the server just told me the problem is my internet connection. Seems NA uses another Internet then, there I can log in without problems. Even within 3 seconds that would be a dream on EU.

NeillMcAttack

Yep, managed to log a toon, backed out to log another and the loading has been going for almost 10 mins now.
The first load screen was also fairly long.

MrBrownstone

Takes ages to log out or log in
