Booted from server for handing in Master writs

aussie500

I am getting fed up with being booted from the server every time I hand my master writs in, it is ridiculous that the game messages which do seem never ending are classed as spam. Maybe ZOS should get their *** together and work out a way to get the messages of us starting the writs and finishing them to run in the background, as we hand the things in! Or just give us the option to do away with the messages all together. I hand them in one at a time, not using any add ons for it, so pretty slow, and every single time I get booted just after I finish handing them in. I even had long pauses between batches of about 5 this time, while I was doing other things near the PC, and still I got booted before I could buy all my mystery boxes. I only had about 29 master writs, hardly a big amount. This needs to be fixed!

This also happened after my character Ace Gokh submitted about 29 Sealed Master Writs to Rolis Hlaalu in Wayrest (Glenumbra). After opening the Hlaalu furnishing "recipe" containers that he bought from Hlaalu's store, the character mounted his saber cat and was sprinting en route to the Wayrest wayshrine.

In the meantime, the host server continued ever so slowly displaying acknowledgements for the writs that he had finished -- long after all the actions which the messages confirmed had been completed. IMHO, this has had the effect of making the ZOS developers look clueless for a few years now. In all of my 5+ years of experience, I have never found any benefit from looking at them. What is their purpose? At least, players should have a configuration option to dis-enable displaying them, which is just a waste of time at best.

Then, for no apparent reason, the HUD froze and, after a long pause, the primary game/account log-in dialog page was displayed. There was no message displayed with the dialog to disclose any reason for that event. However, when I attempted to log-in to resume playing the game, the server responded with the message "Booted from server" -- as if that explained anything.

How long must I wait to resume playing the game -- assuming that eventually I can??

You can get back in usually about 15 minutes from being booted, since I am usually pissed off when it happens I will just sit there and try to log in every 3 odd minutes. Obviously waiting a bit between turning them in did not work out since I never even got to complete my purchases. I think they have a cheek booting us from the server for their spam messages that we do not even want!

Booted for crafting is bad enough, but then login just to get booted a second, then a third time, this wastes 45 minutes. Very frustrating Zos.

I can easily repeat this issue on any of my characters without a maxed Alchemy skill. Has happened multiple times. Go from 30 to 40 something, gaining achievements for all 4 ingredient usages, and boom, you will get booted.

2 more instances of this. Crafting should not boot you from the server. Please acknowledge this as a bug and fix it.

Posting more info since it just happened again. When getting booted the second time (after waiting for 3-5 minutes to login) it doesn't matter what character I am on. The second boot happens a few minutes after login. There doesn't seem to matter what I am doing. It could be sitting there doing nothing. It could be just checking housing inventory.

Be careful if you are turning in master writs for power leveling. Server will eventually catch up and credit you for correct writ vouchers, but I am sure XP is not crediting correctly when you get booted.

So I am only turning in one master writ and wait for full XP credit before turning another one in.
