Has anyone else experienced a catastrophic failure of their house furnishings?
I entered my house (Daggerfall Overlook) in the 2nd week of April and was shocked to discover my furnishings were strewn all over. I can't verify that my 698 items are still there. I can't verify the special items are there. Those accessible might or might not be functional. It is a real mess that reminds me of the aftermath of what Panama City FL looked like after Hurricane Michael (Cat 5) blew through and destroyed my real-life home.
I have not played much since this happened because I am afraid of making things worse. I don't want to further corrupt my inventory and lose unique items, such as the 2016 anniversary cake and my apex mounts.
Tech support has not been able to explain what happened. They tell me my PS4 ESO database failed, which caused a global failure corrupting the database on their server. Afterwards, everyone entering my home sees the mess. I asked if they had a backup from which they could restore the items to the location and orientation I took years to place. They advised me there is no backup from which they can relocate the items to their last good location. They also inform me in a standard reply that I can "recover" from this if I delete the local PS4 ESO database and then rebuild the entire PS4 database.
I am not sure what they mean by the word "recover" and cannot get an answer because they closed the ticket. I was also advised to inform the developers using the in-game contact system. I did this more than a month ago and have not yet received a response.
I am not attempting to denigrate EOS, Zeni, Bethesda, anyone, or any organization when I say that I feel abandoned. This isn't what I expected after having spent more than 4,600 hours in-game (Level >1200) and more than $1,500 on game items and packages.
All I want is for my house to be put back the way it was two months ago, before the glitch. But nobody on their end seems sufficiently interested to give me a method to accomplish this. Telling me they cannot is not a satisfactory answer.
My last resort is to ask this forum if anyone has a clue as to what I can do to repair the damage without having to expend hundreds of hours to fix this glitch.
Thanks, in advance, for any useful information or suggestion.
