Everybody except for "some players" I guess...

I am not, but that's because I came back after a long hiatus and patched up yesterday. I walked around, reset my skills, etc.
Then I logged off and was going to play today at 6 pm to 12 am. Since I live in Texas and there are tornado watches. I haven't actually logged in today. I did read the forums and maybe that hiatus needs to be extended.

Several people are in game and playing right now. I hopped in earlier myself and managed to do a dungeon. However, the dungeon finder only found 3 people for the group and all of us had a pretty long load screen to get in. Smaller issues like chat messages lagging, coming in out of order (like over a series of several minutes any could show up in any order), or dropped completely are common for everyone.

So yeah, te-e-e-e-echnically playable? But not what I think most would consider acceptable enough to bother. And of course there are plenty of complaints from others that they can't even log in.

SilverBride

Taking 2 hours to do daily crafting writs on 4 characters is technically playable, but far from acceptable.

PC NA and so far it's fine for me except for some pretty bad chat lag, but I haven't done anything except say a few things in guild chat, clear mail, and do dailies.

I managed to load in two battlegrounds.
One was after such a long loadscreen that it ended 10 seconds after I loaded in because it's time limit was up...

The second one, I managed to get in halfway through. And finished it. But when I left it, the loadscreen was eternal. I had to force close game.

Then I tried to port to my house. The load screen was unending. I force closed. Came back after a 5 minute character load screen, tried porting to house again, the load screen wasnt having it.

I force closed the game and turned my PC off. This is about as much as I can tolerate.

Intermittent lag, but not even close to anything that I would consider "unplayable"

How's the moving between zones working? Was completely borked before and after the afternoon maintenance for me. I call that unplayable, unless you just want to stay in one zone forever.

milesrodneymcneely2_ESO

Logged in and tried to port to Shadowfen.

Got stuck in a loading screen, so I shut down and restarted my game.

Now I can't log in because it says my account is already logged in.

Haven't played today, but was doing BGs last night. A little added time to load screens, a couple times switching out gear in the amory I had to cxl and redo, but wasn't a big deal.

I'm fine until I have to encounter a loading screen.
Couldn't send a mail. Taking a very long time to leave my house.

It is playable with a big caveat that getting into it or through the loading screens might take far more time that what you want to do when you get there (writs, looking at you). But if you want to do stuff in a zone that will take a while, with no load screens involved, for me that was fine to do.

I would not recommend dungeons due to the load screens. Writs? Do while watching TV or you will want to smash your computer screen for all the waiting on character changes.

Usually takes several minutes for me between zones.

As long as you stay in zone and don't change it's fine...I'm at a loading screen for a delve in craglorn right now. If running around and gathering mats is your thing have at it, if not....no...not really in a "gee I can play the whole game" state.

carly

It took me 11 minutes to zone into the Reach from Western Skyrim. Then I zoned into a delve, that took another 10 minutes but coming out wasn't as long - only about 4-5 minutes. I stayed in zone and harvested and then the port back to Western Skyrim only took about 4 minutes. I've just parked there for night by the Writ boards - that way I can do my dailies if the problems persist tomorrow. Very strange, yesterday zoning was long but nowhere near as long as today for me.

I hope the devs can isolate the problem and resolve it, I know it's not always easy to recreate a problem from production in the dev environment so I feel for them.

You didn't really play.... though

It's been ok for me. A little long, maybe 2 minutes to zone.

I'm doing surveys and hitting a lot of zones and it is slow but not too bad.

But that doesn't mean much if you are being affected by whatever is causing this.

PC NA no steam.

Game is smooth (no lag) and doors are loading crisply.

But averaging 7 minute (!) loading screens to change characters or wayshrine to another zone. Managed to get the daily endeavors done (thankfully, they are very easy today) and get four characters loaded up with FG1 for later. Too painful to do more.

I was able to zone from Vvardenfell to the Alik'r Desert, but was then trapped there. "Your attempted transfer failed" is what I got any time I tried to use a wayshrine, a boat, traveling to Saint Delyn's Penthouse (outside, not into), or even trying to click into the Outlaws' Refuge. I logged out to character select and back in, and was then able to get into the refuge and travel outside the Penthouse to get back to Vvardenfell.

Sylvermynx

I don't play in the evening, but this morning before the second maintenance, I logged in and out as normal on my 50s (7 total) plus the 3 upcoming 50s (will make that during Jubilee) plus a number of other lower level characters (not sure how many - fifteen maybe). I did daily writs on those 10 characters, and endeavors on the lower level ones, including some zoning here and there.

I did not have long load screens, problems with character log in, or anything else that others are describing. PC NA and EU, using my normal HughesNet satellite connection, and my 8 year old dinosaur of a computer....

Players should probably use the words: 'Not worth playing', or, 'Hardly worth playing', when one considers the time spent playing Vs the reward of playing for them personally, compared to when the game was running more smoothly.

Personally - I can't log out of a character to the character select screen, so I've resorted to having to literally quit the game and restart it to swap characters.

One thing I've noticed after quitting in Task Manager is that the game continues to list in 'Background Processes' in Task Manager for several minutes afterwards. I've had to kill the instance in Task Manager on several occasions today when it exceeded 4 minutes.

DreamyLu

PC/NA

Almost not daring to say, but personally, I didn't had any of the massive problems I read about in the forum. Everything is working same than usual, apart from sporadic slowing down on actions, like at harvesting a runestone for example, means peanuts.
I was twice put in queue, but did immediately quit, re-login, and was then straight in. Once in a while, I see a bit delay at loading full graphic of the zone where I am in at login, however a matter of 2 to 3 seconds so nothing to complain about.

One explanation is certainly that I don't play at peak NA times and that I don't touch end game content (typically, I don't use group finder). Another one is maybe that I play via Steam: does it potentially ensure some protection/stability?

Anyhow, all in all, sorry for those who struggle, but to answer the question, yes, there are persons like me who have no problems. I'm part of this minority.

SeaGtGruff

Earlier this afternoon and this evening it was really, really slow for me-- long loading times, often getting logged out because of "inactivity" because I was stuck on the "requesting character load" screen, then "account already logged in," or "make sure you have a valid internet connection," etc.

But now everything seems to be running very smoothly for me, knock on wood.

Gaeliannas

PC NA was getting Cyrodiil level stutter and lag in towns (Vivec, etc...) tonight, could not open a guild bank or trader in Vivec, nor send emails, had to find a low pop zone and that finally worked worked. Still getting booted 19 out of 20 tries attempting to enter my guild hall, so that is a mess. Unlocked the alliance skill line yesterday on a alt, but the skills never showed up to train, I just see the "Alliance War" section header on my skill screen. And yeah, zoning takes freaking forever, as does logging in, when it lets you.

the morning after the first down time the game had 5-10 minute load times, tonight has been issue free

Yeah I think I am actually loading in faster...like half the load times.

LashanW

PC-EU steam.
Only issue I have now is sometimes character loading screen takes some extra seconds than usual.

Group finder works fine but I haven't queued for specific dungeons. Only random normal dungeons and battlegrounds. Trials are ok. Mail and interacting with guild traders are ok too.

But I mostly play on non-prime time.

FeedbackOnly

Load screens seem better and no other delays...but group finder well is dead as a door nail

Inaya

No trouble until just now when I tried to get to Summerset from Fargrave - loading screen boss kicked my butt again. Hope it's a fluke.

Haven't noticed any lag - haven't tried group finder

Lady_Galadhiel

PC EU and Na Steam,both working like a charm today.
Fast loading screens,no lag,could talk in guild chat, could put stuff up for sell,could group up via group finder for random normal.
Only bug I did encounter was mail saying it is full despite only having like 3 unread mails,on Na server this was.
