Literally everything is broken

magus.septim

Pretty much every aspect of the game is completely broken right now.

Except apparently EU servers lol.

Sssst, dont let'em know!

Lady_Galadhiel

EU has its flaws but works better than NA and that is actually a rare case.

Hey All. We just posted another update here.

FluffWit

Console performance has been great the last 3-6 months.

Really hope they delay giving us this dlc for a few weeks at least.

Thanks!

Turned off all addons

Can’t send mail
Can’t deposit into guild bank
Can’t withdrawal from guild bank
Long queue to enter game
Over 10 mins to logout
Over 10 to swap zones
Cyrodiil issues with map updates door status and oh yeah combat bug


Dungeon queue seems to be working in the one test I performed. Waited for 15 mins to enter dungeon however.

So if you don’t log in or logout or swap zones or interact with bank or go to a dungeon or play in Cyrodiil or send mail or visit someone’s house or travel to player or do a battleground or use transitus system....

All is fine. Crown store works.

Slow loading screens and friends list now empty. Or have they maybe changed friends from AWA to character bound.

And how did you manage to test this? Did you actually log in to check that everything was broken? Of course you didn't, because you can't log in. Hah! Caught you in a lie!

I'll admit, the title of this thread made me burst out laughing and scared my dog in the process.

M0ntie

Can't log OUT of characters now....
Had 2 long maintenances starting right on when writs turned over. Now finally the server is "back up", and it still broken.
For goodness sake!

Here's an itemized list, feel free to add:

* all chat broken: chats out of order and lagged
* cyrodiil is a total mess, I have a separate post on that with the issues outlined
* mailboxes are broken, cant take items out sometimes or sent mail sometimes
* loading screens are crazy long compared to usual, even on basic teleports and death
* login queue still present at times

magus.septim

* people logging in to find out they dont belong to their guilds

I'm enjoying the one where Guild Traders don't show their affiliation (name/affiliation shown overhead), but still list the guild's stuff when you talk to them. I was just in Mournhold, maybe half of the Traders showed an affiliation...

ForeverJenn

Guilds are broken. Every time I log on, I'm not in any, and then suddenly, a minute later, I get messages saying I joined all three at once. It's every time I log on. Maybe this has something to do with the lag....

Feaky

Another problem is that it is taking 5+ min to /camp (at least for me).

*Looks around at all the fires*
Whew. Seems like your average day in Cyrodiil to me. *shrugs*

In all seriousness though - they announced that today they were rolling out the cold storage and sharding database systems. I'm guessing they are not playing well with last week's patch, which was already pretty rough (to put it nicely). And this also explains why it's not affect EU since this was only for PCNA today.

I have to admit that I've been *really* concerned for the QA process used by this game ever since the patch that brought back proc sets to Cyrodiil. It became blatantly clear at that point that they are severely lacking in both automated and manual testing processes and it isn't just for game-play systems. There also doesn't seem to be much effort put into the UI/UX testing or considerations either (something I spend a lot of time doing myself). I get that this is all difficult stuff and issues happen even with the best of teams and software but I'm absolutely sure that the teams are NOT being given the time and resources needed to properly build, test, and maintain what they are creating and the crows are coming home all it once.

sounds like a pretty good evaluation to me

Vaoh

That Dev reply doesn’t list even a fraction of the issues I’m reading up on in this thread. What a joke.

I just love when loading takes so long i get logged out for inactivity

magus.septim

* the /camp command is not working to switch characters

magus.septim

* the logout function from the UI is not working

Been here since launch. This past week is about as broken a state as I've ever seen the game. Looked like it might have been a bit better this weekend for me, but the sharding\cold storage maintenance set us back worse than the days after the patch:

long load screens
inability to logout
forget trying to do mail, guild history or a trader
account already logged in that won't go away
guilds not recognized
friends lists gone
etc, etc, etc...

Maybe they need to step back, forget the release schedule and do what is necessary to fix these issues. I'm not sure what's going on at ZOS, but with the haphazard and buggy manner that AwA was released and now these problems with basic game functions, you have to wonder how bad their staffing issues have become.

I agree, they should return to the state of the game around a month ago, and get their act together before trying to proceed very cautiously. They have done a lot of damage here with the last few patches, a LOT.
