No professional company with quality control and testing could introduce this many problems with already working content. Could it?

There are three conditions in your statement "professional company with quality control and testing". If the company is unprofessional, lacks quality control or skips proper testing, this is the expected result. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

The "stupidity" in this case should be interpreted as organizational stupidity, not stupidity of individuals. I don't think anybody who is truly stupid would be able to land a job in the gaming industry, but mismanagement can hide even the most outstanding skills within a company.

On the bright side, organizational stupidity can be cured. If the code base is not a total mess, this game can still be saved.

I absolutely agree with your ENTIRE post (even the part about the game being saved...despite my pretty heavy negativity lately-didn't even start posting on these forums until things started to go really wrong despite my having been a psijic order closed beta tester (the persistent internal "pts" beta server)).

However, two conditions would have to be met: They would actually have to fix both their internal processes i.e. inter-departmental communication and testing/proper oversight of coding and the arrogance/mismanagement that led us all to this point.

Has this all major issues been mentioned here?Its a major issue which looks to be ignored and they are game breaking.

I'm guessing you've been under a rock for the last week and/or have not read CS' posts about a hotfix to fps issues post 1.2.3 and 1.2.4- this is exactly that issue.

Edit: Well, related/tied to it anyway as it cropped up for most with 1.2.4

The thread i linked mention many things other than fps drop.As a matter of fact i barely have fps drop but me and many ppl have all this and more, which is worst:

-No spells animation
-no weapon swap animation
-invisible mobs
-delayed audio
-when i get damaged it dont show on health bar
-many random loading screens
-even when deconstructing stuff the audio is delayed
-discovered x area screen messages not appearing

Thats only a few of the issues mentioned in that post.

Monsters not being visible is actually not the same thing as the FPS issue. I had this issue way back when I was still like lvl12 in the first month of launch. First time was at the village where the kahjiit released a dro'mathra spirit and it took control of people. I walked in there and all I saw was red dots, and then a few seconds I dropped dead.

Months ago issue that deals with lag and syncing, not with FPS.

ah...was being self-absorbed and only thinking from my perspective, so my apologies...the rendering issue with invisible mobs only hit me with 1.2.4 (same by the way for cyrodiil fps issue...weirdly I had no fps drop unlike most others with 1.2.3- but their "fix" for it in 1.2.4 completely blew the game up for me... apologies also to the poster I quoted since my post seems to be pretty invalid...also a bit snarky upon rereading

ZOS give us an answer to this already
-No spells animation

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update on the FPS issue. We've identified what's causing this, and are working on a hotfix now that we'll get out as soon as we can. We'll let you know as soon as it's been rolled out. Thanks for your patience while we hammered on this one, we know it's been frustrating.

Your really really really sure you identified really the real issue this time? ^^

We're testing it out now to make sure it'll be fixed. For real this time.

Thank you for letting us know! Starting to worry about people leaving :-(

Keep up the great work!

I am curious about something, which you have no obligation to answer at all, can the problem to find a fix for this issue be that some player get huge lag when doing the same thing as another player who just gets reduced lag, but very well can play? Like today? This links to how your work, so I understand if you cant say anything.

I am still curious

Great!!!

The only problem I have ever had with this game is the same problem I have from time to time still. Sometimes...usually only when in a city, the game will completely freeze for maybe half a second. Kind of like taking a photo. My FPS will drop from 50 or 60 to 3. But only for like half a second...literally only long enough for me to blink and almost say "What the F...." but I never get to finish my sentence because then my FPS jumps right back up.
But that's it. Nothing else except for a couple of broken quests.

I'm not sure if this is being looked into and just not documented, but I see health bars get out of sync. Mine and my enemies. Not tested in pvp but it's blatantly obvious in PVE.

Tested moves/order:
Open with Concealed Strike from Sneak
Charge heavy attack and initiate Rapid Strikes. Proc occurs from 3/5 Ash set.
Enemy's hp at ~35-40% showing, initiate single Killer's Blade.

Now don't get me wrong, if KB was buffed..I like it. But I want this to work as intended. I suspect the health bar loses sync during Rapid Strike and the set bonus proc.


Also, to further at to fps/combat lag... it's heavily noticeable in PVE. I'll notice that combat isn't smooth for xx reason, when the client catches up I'm either dead or watch the charging hit connect that kills me. Charged hits from 2h are also seemingly unblock able and unavoidable. I suspect that cast/animation/queue is out of sync.

"We’re continuing to work on performance improvements that we’ll roll out in upcoming patches." You broke PVP over night and now are we suppose to wait for "future patches"? [Snip]

EDIT: this wonderful fix got me from 4 to 6 fps... thank you very much!

Hey ZOS I just tried to play after the hotfix and I'm still getting

-No spells animation
-no weapon swap animation
-invisible mobs
-delayed audio
-when i get damaged it dont show on health bar
-many random loading screens
-even when deconstructing stuff the audio is delayed
-discovered x area screen messages not appearing

Your stupid hotfix needs a hotfix. I am so tired of all the bugs. I will not pay for a game that I am unable to play. I am one of the most patient people but even the most patient people have a breaking point. You guys constantly ask for patience I'm so tired of hearing that crap. You break more things then you fix and then tell your customers to have patience. Fix the issues fast because if I can't play soon I'm done.
@ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno
@ZOS_JasonL @ZOS_AmeliaR
Oh and my post will probably get moderated because whenever someone says something you guys don't like you change it. Oh and don't tell me to have patience when you give me a warning thank you.

We understand the frustration from those who are still experiencing crippling FPS issues. We're working around the clock on getting it resolved as soon as possible. As mentioned in the above post, we felt it better to do what we could now (even if minimal) than hold off on something that may help.

So what about the ,spell effect,invisible mobs,delayed sound and animation ect ect that many ppl are experiancing?As long as I know it have nothing to do with FPS drop as me and others report that their FPS is fine but they are having the issues I mentioned before.Is that being looking at? I only hear from you guys the FPS drop issue.

I so picture the spoiled brats on these forums screaming at their monitors. Red faced with trembling hands as they type these demanding posts like they are writing to their parents.

Entertainment factor +7

Mind answering how we are spoiled brats? We paid for a game that we are unable to play. You might like wasting your money when you can't play, but most people don't. So please stop being silly thank you.

Have you tried changing your graphic settings or update drivers?

On only lowering "shadow" settings for me made a huge improvement.

All items listen on your list, I don't have them :-(
