We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European console megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
If you like loading screens this is the game for you...
Yeah, I have the same problem, and since the last patch I get the infinite loading screen while transiting within Cyrodil. I'm assuming that this is one of the issues that Zeni are fixing right now. Taking the servers down on a Saturday is a risky move that's sure to send the rage-quitters running back to WoW and GW2, so I'm assuming they're doing it for a good reason.
Loading times generally are fairly high in this game compared to other mmo:s i have played and it's certainly not good thing. I hope their coders spend time trying to optimize that side.
Since the last patch I have to repeatedly attempt to log in and sacrifice a virgin chicken each time and pray to the lord of logging in to let me the feth in.
If the moons are aligned right I can get in.
I get a lot of crashes in Cyrodiil too and then have to go through the ritual sacrifice logins to get back on.
No crashes if I do PvE .... just in Cyrodiil.
I'm sure these "megaservers" sounded great on paper.
