trials unplayable

Ezhh

Third day in a row of having to give up on vCR because of a mix of desyncs, skills not working, synergies not working, people dying to attacks they can't see and so on.

Performance update is massively disappointing.

Please stop adding content for a bit and just fix the servers!

Please, I beg you, do NOT let this patch go live on console without concurrently including whatever hotfix / patch is needed. If it cannot be resolved by console launch I implore you to please consider delaying Stonethorn / update 27. @ZOS_Finn

Performance update? what part of performance did they update i wonder? Trials are completely unplayable.

Last night I decided to take care of some surveys. I was rubberbanded backwards several times. I usually fight any overland bosses in my path as I do these and last night it was much more difficult than usual. Skills not going off, bars not switching and all that fun stuff.
The worst one was Xal Thak. I like starting boss fights by dropping my ultimate. I ran to the top of the stairs hit my buffs and just as I hit my ultimate I teleported back to the bottom of the stairs where the ultimate went off.
A few times I would have to try and harvest the same goodie two or three times before I finally was able to get it. I live in a rural area and thought maybe I was having internet problems as usually things go smooth for me in game. Now I'm guessing maybe something else was going on?

Had this collecting surveys as well. Was in the survey site, suddenly I get a short loading screen and am back at the Wayshrine. Then after a few steps I get another short loading screen and I'm back at the survey site.

Anyway, raids were cancelled again tonight. Can't even do simple fun/farm runs.

the delay would be the best thing possible for console players.

Just played vCR with my guild. All my ability timers were desynced, damage registering 3 sec later, mobs spinning around not attacking and abilities not going off. It's really horrible.

We gave up and called it.

ZOS for the Love of god please fix this and give us some information. Don't just hide your head in the Sand...

FatelessLava

Did VHOF last night, GCD was terrible, if you were a necro, you could forget about casting blastbones. Kagoutis were spinning damage wasn’t registering as much as it should because of the lag. Everyone blocking AG left stomp but still got sent back flying. Reclaimer/Reducer was spinning a few times. Instance was brutal. Please fix this.

ah you are that guy! i actually wondered what happened to your account after all these months. i still dont understand how an account gets stuck for 2 years.

That's me indeed, gamertag is Icebaker on Xbox, EU cp 1575 and NA cp 1282 currently. It's quite amazing the EU account is still in the current state after all this time, it's very rare to have this, but there's been some other players also, someone mentioned in some thread on Xbox technical support section having similar totally unplayable account for about 2 years, this was over a year ago so I assume the player has quit long ago and the account is still stuck. Some players have got their accounts luckily work again after some maintenance or redownload. Personally I think the problem is somehow related to the overall amount of stuff on the account, also I have a feeling the support knows the reason quite well, but just like with many other things in the game, they don't know how to fix or don't bother fixing it, last year support even messaged me they are aware of this kind of situation, the tone has changed quite much since.

Here's a message I sent to community manager yesterday:

"Hello, I have a huge problem and I don't think the support is taking my issue seriously enough at all, I thought I contact community management and try to get this solved before contacting Microsoft and putting my situation on other forums. My original Xbox EU cp 1575 account has been stuck since the Wrathstone download meaning I haven't been able to login even once for 17 and half months now, first I thought that surely it will get fixed soon, but now after multiple support tickets I'm quite sure it's gone forever and support won't fix it. I started playing on Xbox NA over a year ago and thought I'll play on both servers when EU account gets fixed, NA account is cp 1282 now. My ESO+ monthly membership ends after some days and I cannot continue paying when my EU account isn't fixed, this means I must sacrifice my NA account also since it's quite impossible to play without the craftbag. This means my ESO times are over after all these years and all my expensive houses on EU account are thrown to trash, obviously I won't just quit and walk away quietly. I created a new Xbox account months ago to test if I can login on EU server, it works fine and it's on the same console and connection so the problem clearly isn't on my end, EU account doesn't work with other console or connections either. Last week I created a new support ticket after the last one was over 10 months ago, I thought surely the working test account information would be a clear indicator the problem isn't on my end, but as expected again I got the basic port and troubleshoot list again and all my test account information was dodged just like it was totally irrelevant. When I once again explained the situation probably for a completely new person again, for example the part where I mentioned my account got completely stuck AFTER THE WRATHSTONE DOWNLOAD is somehow understood like I'M STUCK IN WRATHSTONE, I'm not sure if it was intentionally understood wrong, but it sure gets frustrating to explain this situation once again after over 17 months. My last ticket expired when there was some time limit to respond, it was about the ports even it should be clear the ports are fine when I can play on NA server with the same Xbox account and my test account on the same console works also on EU server. I need some help with this or then I must simply quit completely and start putting all the information on other forums. I can send my long message from the last ticket, there's much information about the whole long episode, I feel support didn't take it as seriously as they should have."

No respond as expected, this seems to be somekind of trademark with their communication strategy.

I'm very tired with the whole situation and utterly disappointed long term customer!

What the hell do most people do on this game?!

I can't speak for others, but literally all I do in this game anymore is log in for some daily rewards, carry my two kids through normal dungeons periodically, and watch them play ESO Barbie Dream House edition.

Even with those very modest requirements, I still get skills not firing and huge lag spikes that cause all mobs to stop and then burst all their attacks at once when things sync up again. In *normal* dungeons with three people! One of which runs away from mobs and another that spams light attacks.

I unsubbed when Greymoor dropped and I'm not getting warm fuzzies that it's time to re-sub any time soon.

Hey Folks,

Thanks for the reports and we are investigating these performance issues.

Srsly how can you actually threw it up every time ?
No Communication, No Listening just patching without proper trying.

And ofc no compensation for the 6-7th not working patch.
But hey i can buy a house.

The crown store works perfectly - Buy your mount without any lag

(From a pvper who's been suffering lag for ages - Guess they will be also doing the AOE cooldown tests in trials now)

Ridiculous pop-cap 3-way siege cyro level lag. Skills aren't firing. Adds aren't moving correctly. Really rough.

SidraWillowsky

vMoL is borked too... one of our tank's stam would drop to zero when she wasn't even moving- look at the stam bar.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdrFarVVmgY

And no, it wasn't just a visual drop- she was literally at zero stam.

Other tonk was getting hit with random 300,000 hits despite doing everything right. Desyncs galore... DD skills not firing; we were hitting about half of what we normally hit because nothing would cast.

300k hit on rakkhat is usually one of the dps tanking the pad buff from the tank

Nope- Rakkhat would hover in the air for several seconds (like those four-legged *** in SS, but without the "intended mechanic" part) on the first pad, crash down in the tank, and he'd get hit with the 300k damage. No one near the buffs...

alsonotan0rc

I'm not sure who to @ZOS here, but is there any update on this? I've got a raid scheduled for tomorrow and I was hoping things would be somewhat improved by then, but I just keep seeing more bug reports. Can anyone tell me what I should advise my team? To show, or not to show?

My group managed to clear vss hm with desyncs but there was a lot of complaints about latency being as high as 300+. My latency was at 77 at best.

Sunspire is back where it was before Greymoor. Nahviintas fire explosion will kill some (sometimes even all) players despite standing behind the statue. We used to solve this by having multiple DKs with Magma Shell present, guess it's time to bring back our garraged DKs

Tried the newer dungeons again yesterday (PCEU). The second we ported in to Castle Thorn performance went down the drain. 400-600 + ping, adds and abilities desyncing constantly. The moment I ported out of there my ping went back down to normal.

minxina

I wish i had recorded all this. Every trial starting around 18-22cest is lagging.

vSS - Not possible to stack adds at all - they do the dance 2steps forward-spin-1step back. Lokke tombs not aware that you have stepped into them, beam going back and forth, boss not tauntable or rather takes a while to acknowledge that it was taunted. Yolna not doing mechanics at all or spawning invisible adds on HM ?! etc

vKA - tanks dying to heavy attacks that were supposed to be done already and were dodged, block not registering, meteor mechanic ending but hits player after a while, lightning line mechanic jumping from one pillar to another without line of players being formed, then killing everyone. The damage from lightning line seems way higher than it was before patch ?

vAS - same old olms jumps with cone, spinning of minis, desynced attacks.

vMOL - twins applying no colours to players, randomly walking around during prayer phase. Rakkhat (while taunted) turning around and randomly killing someone and then turns around facing tank as nothing has happened.

vHOF - desynced taking aim, kills you after dodged, desync of heavy attacks, heavily spinning adds.

This list could just continue and continue. Honestly afraid to step into Cyrodiil to see how it is there.

After almost 2 years of raiding, I have to consider disbanding my group because no one wants to go through Harrowstorm 2.0 (which also almost led to disbandment in itself).The only reason we survived this long was because the pandemic allowed us to move raids to the afternoon but this won't be possible anymore since most people are going back to school/work now.

[Edited to remove Bashing]

Berchelous

ZOS, can we have an explanation? Even overland is not playable.

Eweroun

also in vAS these days again:

*uninterruptable lothis (due to desync?)
* mini not taking damage and the other seemed to take all the damage (do they use some kind of special guardskill between 'em)
* and as stated before: jump, cone,...


at least we had a great time laughing together with these things...

but @ZOS_GinaBruno pls... we do want to have actual raids again...

EDS604

And no maintenance Monday lmao

Grandchamp1989

It's dungeons too.

Our group had between 200-700 ping in Castle Thorn.

Enemies were teleporting on the screen and skills refused to fire.

Unplayable.

kringled_1

vSS, Yol. Iron servants are not responding to taunt, spinning around in place. Cataclysm animation and circle on the ground stops, but the alert from one add-on says its still going. Half the group steps in and dies to cataclysm. Alert stops, dragon lands, I move in, and also die to cataclysm.

This game is literally unplayable right now. I want to know effort is being put in and this game will be fixed soon. I'm tired of signing on every night to raid and finding that the game is unplayable. I value my time. Even though I've supported this game for 2 years, I think I've just about him my limit. With all these new MMOs appearing, and ZoS having the opportunity of a life time to keep players due to this pandemic, you would think they would step it up and have a playable product. They literally had players lag out on their live streams.

I'm an inch away from taking the lead with a handful of guildies and quitting this game. Whether ZoS has good intentions or not for the community, its starting to become clear that they cannot deliver on their promises.

Maybe Santa is bringing the performance

The new and upgraded hints are on point
