For the love of god fix the Cyrodiil group bug!!!

KBKB · June 2014

It's a game breaker! Join a group get d/c 50% of the time, and have to wait to be kicked from the group before you can log back on which can take up to 30 minutes or more in some groups. You don't even have to join the group, someone else can join and boom d/c more likely if they are out of Cyrodiil, but sometimes while they are in it too. It also happens when people leave or go offline.

I don't complain about bugs a lot because I get it this game is new, but this is beyond stupid 3 months in and is taking away valuable PvP play time. It seems to be low priority on the fix list when it should be top tier!!! I can't understand how this has gone on for so long for the life of me it leaves me feeling pretty stupid paying for a sub when its difficult to access the part I enjoy most of the game. GET ON IT ZOS PLEASE!

/End rant

Absolutely. This problem is the biggest reason I'm getting fed up right now. The only thing I care to do is take part in large group action in Cyrodiil. That's entirely impossible for me currently.

I'm giving another try at leveling a new character, but I'm 90% sure I won't make it to level cap all over again. Just takes too long. If they don't fix the grouping hitch/freeze/disconnect bug before my sub is up for renewal, I'll be done. Not trying to sound like a nerdraging hater, but that's just the way it is.

100% agree. I've played TES since Daggerfall love the story/lore my favourite world was Morrowind favourite game engine Skyrim (Skywind beta pwns might I add) In my MMO life pure high ranked PvP in WoW and lower tier PvP in Swtor. So when ESO came about I couldn't wait to experience open world PvP on this scale. Sometimes it works, I've capped a scroll from one end of the map to the other in a group of 24 with groups by the 50's attacking my entourage of 100ish DC players and no problem. Then I enter Cyrodiil join a group BOOM D/C and then play the waiting game to be removed from group and wearily do it all over again when I can eventually log back in hoping I'm not out for another 30 minutes providing my Mumble group isn't on.

Once again I understand no MMO is perfect let alone in the first 3 months of release however this is simply not good enough to completely murder off a section of the game and have zero dev input or on going reports on this issue.

BADEVIL · June 2014

@Zenimax - When This Will be fixed !!!! ?

Cogo · June 2014

I agree on this.

I am on EU server. Good steady ISP. Good computer. I do not lag in Cyro, even with a lot of people around me.

If I join a group with more then 10ish people, or someone DC or outside Cyro.....I get froozen/Huge lag.

The moment I leave the group, Lag free again.

cfeileerwb17_ESO · June 2014

Agree. This has been very annoying. It has caused the reduction in my interest to log in the game day by day.

jnjapexb14_ESO · June 2014

Totally agree, this is the largest bug with Cyro right now. Forward camps a close second. Solo I am totally fine, even in small (less than 12 groups) but once the group size gets larger than 12 it's a crap shoot. Every time someone is added or removed multiple people crash or "Unkown Error"

The addon that auto kicks people that crashed seems to help immensely.

KBKB · June 2014

Bumping this due to 3 random DCs when I have joined a group this morning... Creates an amazing and memorable experience when the first 3 times you log on to pvp you have to restart the game and wait to be kicked AMAZING.

ZOS_GinaBruno · June 2014

Hey folks, just letting you know that this should be fixed when we push out our second major content update, which is still scheduled for next week.

SirAndy · June 2014

@ZOS_GinaBruno

While you're at it, can we also get the broken compass fixed? It usually stops working half way between joining a group and crashing while grouped.

Hooray! Thank you. This is one of the bigger outstanding issues IMHO as it affects, well, playing the game as an MMO.

@SirAndy, this may actually be related to the original issue with crashing in groups. Could you let us know if you're still seeing this once the next patch gets deployed? Thanks!

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ if what he is talking about is where the compass just freezes the icons on it (aside from the N/S/E/W) then it has nothing to do with the group crash. It's been doing it since November at least, and back then the going theory was it had to do with someone doing a group ping on the map (though I've never been able to verify that due to the randomness of it). As for the group crash, it does it in groups that never have a person crash as well.

Cogo · June 2014

Who cares! They group bug is fixed and we can play WARS again!!!! The bigger guilds can do their trials. THAT is way more important then a compass...

Nice but what with Forward Camps bug? Personally, I think this is a more critical issue.

When it comes to DC, I've now writing a addon that checks the status of the player and kicks him after 1s.

If I understand correctly, this add-on will kick the player from the group after is 1sec.-check offline? If so, think about that when you are in loading screen, you appear as offline.
If I am wrong, pls correct.

The issue with the forward camps is something we're still actively working on fixing, and we want to make sure it fully passes testing before we roll it out to everyone.

Shaggygaming · June 2014

The issue with the compass bug can be fixed. If your group leader sets a new rally point it will correct the issue.

The issue with the terrible lag in Cyrodiil that ZOS said they have fixed several times is b**lsh*t. I've given up on this game as the lag is just unbelievable when PVPing. I mean seriously, about 75% of the time in PVP we are just mashing buttons not knowing if we are staying alive or killing the enemy. Two days ago Wabbajack crashed and reset our progress back 30 minutes.

R1ckyDaMan · June 2014

The compass freeze happens when solo in PvE also so no, not related to the group bug.

spiritwindb14_ESO · June 2014

If you guys do fix this then I will continue my subscription - but as it is, its impossible to enjoy PvP, which is the only thing that appeals to me as a veteran. Have spent half the night tonight trying to pvp, and its not nearly as entertaining as when your working with others.

I've noticed when it happens, mod compass markers still respond, so its something server related.

Did not see a fix for this listed in the patch notes today

. Was it by any chance missed in the patch notes, or did I by any chance miss it? Really hoping to actually be able to play group pvp...

Nope, it wasn't missed. This is something that the team is still actively working on fixing and even though it's not in today's patch notes, please be assured that it's a priority to continue working on.

Miscellaneous
General
You can now only delete a limited number of characters per day.
Objects in the world will now load in more smoothly while riding on horseback.
Inviting other player characters into a large group who are in a different zone will no longer cause de-syncing issues or disconnects from the game.
Removed the option to quick slot a repair kit as it was not functional.

“WARNING: The attached is a one-time redeemable item. To give it to another one of your characters, deposit it in your shared bank account, accessed from major cities. Do not delete a character when this item is in inventory or it will be permanently lost."

Does this mean it isnt?

ZOS_GinaBruno · June 2014

Yes, that's correct @Black-Bird‌. The issue I was responding to earlier was in regards to forward camps, not the desyncing issue.

KBKB · June 2014

So can you confirm for me please if the grouping bug is fixed or not? you sort of replied to an off topic in my thread so I am little confused.
