Too many basic issues

rBergh42

Since there is no real way to contact ZOS I post this here

I did not play for a few years and decided to come back and like always took subscribtion on ESO plus but thee game breaking issues
decided me to quit subscription after being back for 10 days...

1. Annoying sprinting Bug happens a lot!!! even while sprintiforng it can go into slomo.
Maybe this helps: It is like my stamina has run out but why can I run again after dodging?

2. Picking up loot, opening doors and in general interacting with stuff is bugged.
Same as point 1, can be overcome by dodgeroll entering chat.

3. Really bad controller input lag. eg. eg: after casting my ulti i am able to cast sometimes 2
light attacks and then the ulti appears... I can see on screen that i press the buttons so it
is not the controller

4 The most annoying one: Sometimes I am not getting my health back at all,
even a potion does not help, I only get drained. I have to get myself killed
and then it works again..

This is all basic stuff!!!!! and from what I read some of it is already been going on for years!!

Exactly what I am experiencing right now.

Enemies and players teleporting in and out of your screen, making fighting a guessing game at best.

Waiting 2 seconds just to do anything, it is so frustrating playing like this.

10 years and they still cant do anything right.
10 years of frustrations and stress just to play.
10 years of failures and mistakes you pay for.
10 years of playing a broken mechanics.
10 years of nerfs on your builds.
10 years of click bait dlc and chapters.
10 years of rolling back updates.
10 years of op classes and skills.
10 years of op sets and items.
10 years of broken basic combat.

Wow 10 years, really!!!!!!!!!!

10 years and it is still
broken,
frustrating,
Infuriating,
stressfull,
mind numbing,
degrading,
insufferable,
distasteful,
disrespectful
uncaring
state
as it will always be.

I compare it like driving a car, There can be issues like windows not working well of heating of the seat not heating..
but the least part you want is to be able to drive the car.

And exactly that is the part that is not working. Thing is it is the most exspensive game in the world and still have
issues like this. I do not care having an issue in an dungeon. But at least the game should respond to my controller.

2 Days ago I was kicked from Bloodroot Forge group because I died a few times BUT I WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY HEALING AND WAS MOVING SLOMO.


but only thing we can do is stop buying Eso plus and/or buy Chapters..

When I came back after a few years, I expected all of these things because I had played before, so I wasn't disappointed.

ESO isn't a new game. They're not ironing out the bugs at this point. There's no performance to be reclaimed by removing leftover debug code. We'll continue to see minor improvements, but there's obviously some fundamental issues that will likely never be resolved.

If I was a young gaming enthusiast, I wouldn't want to "main" this game. But I'm an old guy who likes the TES series, and most other games today seem to suck. I like Rust, but it's too time consuming for me.

So I play this casually with zero psychological investment. I don't really care about anything that happens and I can walk away at any time without thinking twice. It's just a passtime.

At that capacity, it's fun and has some great writing and artwork. AvA will always be broken, but it's still unlike anything else out there.

I just had to alt+F4 to get out of cyrodiil after standing at the east gate wayshrine for 25 minutes, stuck in combat the whole time. Couldn't check my mail, couldn't wayshrine out of cyro, only option was to force kill the game to get out of game.

I have to say that while I experience plenty of bugs, I don't think I've ever experienced the ones you list as common.

Likewise, although I've only experienced a couple of bugs in 10 years and they were both fixed quickly. Like you, I've not experienced any of the issues the OP and first commenter describe.

Then again, we know nothing about the way the OP plays the game except for the use of a controller. I don't, nor do I play on console or use any addons on PC, or play in Cyrodiil and I suspect that some of the complaints relate to some of those things. As I recall, the controller is affected by the accessibility options and not all addons are updated these days.

Maybe if the OP can provide some more information there'll be players who can give more specific advice.

I've never experienced any of these things and I've been playing on and off since 2016 with 3000+ hrs played.
Also add that I've played on Xbox One X, a mid range gaming laptop and a mid range desktop pc.

So I've noticed a couple of these bugs after the recent update and haven't seen them prior. I've had some weird issues with sprinting, where I'm unable to do it at all, or I don't appear to gain the movement speed bonus of sprint, despite my stamina being drained. Not sure what causes it, but it tends to go away after either a load screen or some other change like a death or even sometimes mounting up.

The health thing I've only seen once and it was yesterday. In a BG, and as I dropped out of spawn my character took 7900 damage from nothing, and my health would no longer heal past that point. It was so bad that a teammate in my pug whispered me calling me a ***. I was confused what he meant and he complained about wasting magic trying to heal be though I couldn't be healed. I assume he believed I was using Ring of the Pale Order, but even if I was, my NB heals passively from the new Siphoning Attacks, not to mention me spamming Power Extraction, Healthy Offering, and Merciless Resolve.

All of that said, the dishonesty in this thread so far is really frustrating as a long time player. Bugs tend to get fixed, though some take longer than others, and with a game with this many systems and as much complexity as it has behind the scenes, is going to have a lot of bugs, meaning the dev team really has to prioritize the most impactful to fix first. Saying you "heard" that some of these bugs have been around a long time is just spreading unverified anecdotes that don't help anyone.

Keep reporting bugs, provide information about what you're doing when they happen, and what you've tried in order to fix them (verifying files, dodge rolling, reloading UI, etc.)

There is such a thing as "the cost of doing business" and while I do at least partially agree with the OP, having experienced some of their issues over time (but not all the time), the fact remains that I still play ESO regularly. So can't complain too much. However you know, I do wish they would listen to our suggestions more (even if not mine necessarily) because more and more I'm not really sure what the point of the forums are aside from putting out game service information (which yeah that is really important too).

Things we ask for on here seems to attract just as many people trying to say what we can't do (like asking for the class change token request, among other things). If as much energy was put into actually trying instead of all the push back saying what can't be done, just imagine what could be accomplished. And that is the real issue that I see with ESO, it's not the bugs or persistent issues that have been around for years as much as the bias it seems against. Now I know ZOS can't do everything and its not reasonable to ask for that but it does seem there is a heavy hand towards some of us who are asking for certain things or reporting certain issues such as (but not limited to): being stuck in PvP combat, jabs/flurry fix, necro fix, stop experimental changes (necro again), fix siege camera, issues with health and desync.

And the only response we get is not from ZOS but from some on here saying how much they disagree and that's fine if you do. Its just the truth of the matter will never be known because really none of our feedback is taken seriously. In fact, for those that did push back on here I do respect you in a way because you did more by speaking your mind and caring enough to address an issue that no one else (on the home Team) would have looked at, did, or perhaps ever will. However, the caveat to that is... what if... you are wrong? Not to imply always being wrong but what if something could be done and now, we'll never know. Good people can still be wrong once in a while and having an idea or letting them know about an issue you've experienced doesn't necessarily make you wrong.

But either way, in the end, it doesn't really matter what side you're on, the way things are now in the end we both lose.

I'm not sure you're right in your analysis, given that ZOS have responded to some of those forum suggestions, not necessarily on here but in changes made to the game. Examples include making skyshards and thereby skill points as well as whole skill lines available to alts, as well as implementing account-wide achievements. Those were pretty major changes to the core structure of the game that were requested by those I assume you're referring to as having "a certain perspective",and they were implemented after fairly balanced support and opposition on the forum from those who held strongly principled views on both sides of the argument.

Oh ok, so the issues I was talking about have all been fixed. Well ok then, I'm sorry I hadn't realized that. My bad. Kind of early here Tandor, you'll have to excuse the fact I haven't started drinking yet.

I did not play for a few years and decided to come back and like always took subscribtion on ESO plus but thee game breaking issues
decided me to quit subscription after being back for 10 days...

1. Annoying sprinting Bug happens a lot!!! even while sprintiforng it can go into slomo.
Maybe this helps: It is like my stamina has run out but why can I run again after dodging?

2. Picking up loot, opening doors and in general interacting with stuff is bugged.
Same as point 1, can be overcome by dodgeroll entering chat.

3. Really bad controller input lag. eg. eg: after casting my ulti i am able to cast sometimes 2
light attacks and then the ulti appears... I can see on screen that i press the buttons so it
is not the controller

4 The most annoying one: Sometimes I am not getting my health back at all,
even a potion does not help, I only get drained. I have to get myself killed
and then it works again..

This is all basic stuff!!!!! and from what I read some of it is already been going on for years!!

I have to say that while I experience plenty of bugs, I don't think I've ever experienced the ones you list as common.

I have experienced 1 and 4 semi regularly in Cyro and 2 in pve land. No controller so not that one.

rBergh42

Just to know how many of you are on US server? I am on EU my home connection is good (100 mBit)

I just need to fight with an enemy and have about a 50% chance of not being able to pickup the loot dropped. I have to Dodge or go in/out chat.

I have cleared cache. rebooted xbox... but all the issues remain, also sometimes while sprinting it goes slower and slower until I am moving in slo motion, my stamina is full and i am not in combat. When I dodge roll I can immediatly sprint again.

I just saw a video about sprinting bug from 5 yrs ago which looks like the issue i have. They found out it was the bumps on the road.

look at 5:47 for a minute https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY0jU1IwWhQ&ab_channel=FENGRUSH

Both PC EU and US, from the UK. No noticeable performance differences between them, albeit as a solo/co-operative and non-competitive PvE player.

I wanted to swith to US but I do not want to level for a 3rd time (1900+ ps4 and 1700+ xbox)
then again does not matter, I am waiting for Dune and hope that is any good... just in between games...

ESO_player123

Are all of these bugs in Cyro?
The only bug I recognize is #2. It was prominent around the time Necrom dropped if I remember correctly. I have not experienced it since they fixed it some time after that.

Tallon_IV

I experience the second one a lot. The game's always had desync issues but it seems to have gotten a lot worse over the past few years. I notice it the most when doing writs. It thinks I'm out of range of the crafting stations when I'm as close as possible. Roll dodging mostly fixes it but sometimes it takes a few times.

rBergh42

Hey nice... after the Maintenance of today my sprintin works like it should...

I did not check the rest but at leat i can die now with some speed

rBergh42

It was not in Cyro..
