Long loads, Long maintenance times, lag etc..

Lets overlook the buggy mess of missing items, quests etc. Lets also overlook the serious balance issues.

Is this game really worthy of a subscription? The loading times have gotten so much worse if it loads at all and these maintenance windows are crazy. Currently 3 hours into the latest one.

This is not the 1990's anymore and I think they are dreaming if they think this kind of quality and service is worthy of a subscription based game.

At this point they are probably just cooling down the servers, since they get so much flame directed at them.

srsly, half a day to implement a patch ? Are you kidding me ? And then again shut down to fix the fix ?
Srsly, this is the 4th patch (they didnt counted the one at early access as any version) since start and each time they shut down servers again short after patch.
So servers actualy down for whole day.
Zenimax, just..... WHY cant you do maintence at night atleast ?
For a subscription game with sp much client and so much pre-orders you suppose to have enought money go pay your support team for overwork or even hire another team which works only at night...

I'm thinking because this game is global, it's night somewhere. Thus far, I'm not happy with the lag in PvP. The stress tests were a lot less laggy and the load times were much better. The only thing that's the same between the stress tests and live PvP is the fact that people keep going offline, when the server gives them the old boot.

I never have game crashes unless I'm in PvP. It makes our evening PvP guild groups that much more difficult to play.

There is also the fact that guild members are threatening to leave, as they're not having fun.

I have a job, so I don't mind the servers being down "all day long", as long as North America prime time is good, most of the players will be content.

Are you serious ? Me and all of my friends weret able to play PvP at ALL because of laggs. All populated compaigns lagged so hard so game client simply constantly crashed over and over and you couldnt even open a gates of your castle. You then get infinite loadscreen when trying to get back after crash.
You actualy had big troubles to even leave PvP bcoz you would crash lik 30 times before you reach wayshrine.

And.. somewhere is the night ? Did you read the discription of maintance ? They started it at 4 a.m. i think why not 0 a.m. ?

The times will always step on someone's own schedule. It's just the way it is. Hope they resolve some load time issues real soon though.

7 hours and counting for maintenance....they are kidding themselves if they expect people to pay subscription rates for this level of performance.

Is it just my imagination or am I seeing loadscreens for longer recently?

Odd. I was having real issues loading before this week but the patch really seemed to help with it. I hope that has not been undone ><
