Can't get Past 'Requesting Character Load' Screen

Gythral

19min login queue

Yer right, that 19mins before the endless inactivity screen starts!

Why even start the anniversary event immediately after the previous event, if the problems with the loginning are not resolved?
What is the point here? Shouldn't we have started to fix the problems, and only then trigger a new event?

S2RDK

Mine just keep swapping from 1 sec to 10/15 mins then back again - never gettting anywhere….

Snowfaerie

My login queue keeps bouncing from 20 mins to 1 sec to 17 mins to 1 sec to 14 mins to 1 sec to 17 mins to 1 sec... I'm not sure what is going on anymore. Same as yesterday, couldn't get in at all. Sadness for missing tickets.

I just switched to my NB to go look into buying the spider, only to be disconnected for 'spamming' without sending a single message. Error 310... when I didn't send a message! Then I got the 30 minute wait time...

We need to ensure the VP responsible for this fiasco gets identified for this mess.

exactly this. putting fixes in during times when theres low populations and little time to actually test they've worked like last night then putting on an event which encourages mass log out/ins on the busiest concurrent server just seems like madness.

I bet they're just waiting until people get bored and leave the game on their own. Then they will say that "everything is fixed."

This is still ongoing? I think the ESO servers finally imploded.

shadyjane62

Refund for the last 8 years would be appropriate, between the AWA catastrophe and the current and ongoing server problem.

Paske

Decided to come back to game today.

Payed my sub fee, as you do.

Loged in .... Loged in .... Loged in ....

Oh yeah, thats why I left in first place.

Horrible server performance and complete lack of funding for actual infrastructure.

Good to see loot box money well spent.

AnduinTryggva

OK, now trying to log in with second char. Works now normally

If there are any players that read this, and also are streamers or content creators then create a live stream or video showing these problems. The bad publicity might actually kick their asses in gear.

Come on, if blizzard can maintain a high demand MMO im sure ZOS can manage considering the player base is far smaller on eso.

Also its not like your doing bad on the financial front, so im not buying into any excuses about how preventing a future occurence of these issues would negatively affect profits. I thought that ZOS would actually spend more money to make a more stable experience considering they are wanting to make big money, which can be done for an established IP like the elder scrolls. Yeah ESO is being beaten by star citizen........that sh*t aint even a game, its an interactive train wreck.

Heres some interesting stats:

The worst part about all this is that we've been having the same issues on NA for weeks now, that they haven't even been fully resolved, and that cold storage has moved ahead now on EU before these problems have been addressed, which has resulted in the introduction of the same problems there too.

It seems to me the more logical course would've been to delay the push to cold storage on EU until the issues with it were first fully resolved on NA, which to clear, is still not the case.

Multiple ESO content creators, especially those that focused on PvP moved on to greener pastures after Update 33 (in which they implemented changes that they were told in the PTS thread would be detrimental) which speaks volumes I think.

I was a long time subscriber of star wars galaxies. I had a lot of love for that universe and the elder scrolls, cant believe im seeing another world die for greed and stupidity again...fml.

3 minutes later it went to:

Dovahkiin02191973

I got a wait Queue of 45 minutes on the EU server so I was like no whatever is going on is still ongoing. Will try again later or when I see the message here that they have resolved the issues.

AnduinTryggva

I have to correct me. I could log in 3 chars without any issues and now with my 4th same issue with being stuck in char loading screen.

Forgot to add: I had an issue where I could not port to a wayshrine in carglorn with one of my chars

AWinterWolf

Seriously? Again? Extend events and apologise, properly, this level of incompetence is staggering.

Daimonion82

C'mon, I really want that 1200 seals of endaevors for weekly...:D How to get anything if we can't log in?
Just shut the game for a month and repair it.

Hisuiko

Having same problem here.

It beggars belief. The sensible thing to do would be to either not force the cold storage thing onto the busiest server during *** events that draw an increase in population, or delay the event until after the cold storage debacle was fully resolved.

I would really love someone from ZOS to come and frankly, with no ***, explain their logic, the reasons for their decision making, and then to be receptive to our criticism and actually make beneficial changes going forward. I wonder if this will all be attributed to a dodgy network port for PC EU, that'd just be an amazing coincidence, wouldn't it?

SantieClaws

Well downtime incoming. Two to three hours. Cannot wait up so late on a day with work tommorow.

Bye bye 14 x 6 lovely boxes (I got 4 lots done before it all went wrong).

Yours with paws

Woozywyvern

Seriously? 2 - 3 hours maintenance again at prime time. Way to crap on your EU customers AGAIN!

How about you deal with these issues outside of prime time? Or better yet, stop breaking the damn servers all the time.

Razorruk

absolutely useless. You should be embarrassed to work for this organisation.

Shagreth

Another one of my evenings gone. This is so frigging depressing.

Katheriah

I wonder if we're getting more free chapters than the one we already had.

Varana

And the solution is...

... to throw everyone out of the game until late evening, in the hopes that there's less traffic then, and the problem gets plastered over.
Same procedure as every time.
