This last patch added a bunch of cool stuff, but made the game unplayable for a lot of players. We are not your testers, we are paying for a working game.

We can understand bugs here and there, but issues that effect core gameplay and latency issues should be tested and resolved on a PTR. The resentment is over 9,000.

    As long as the same Bullcookies is handed out over and over as a patch or a so called fix.. YES!

    What is his fault? that things are broke and that their continued attempts at fixes had actually made things worse for some people? Or is it his fault that zenimax in all their infinite wisdom decided to not include cyrodiil on the test server so people can't actually find these issues until they go live? Do tell.

    I have enough trouble finding time to play the game I'm paying for. Can we unsub and just play for free on the pts server and continue beta testing until it's worth paying for?

    I agree, this is already posted a number of times. Adding another one serves no purpose.

    Then it's safe to say that most agree with this. I would love to play the game I paid for again.

    I agree with OP. I think that whoever is managing the release of updates isn't fully aware that we are NOT in beta anymore. The responsibility of testing and releasing a quality product (patch) falls completely on them now, but the current behavior suggests otherwise. It IS an enormous game and it isn't easy to test everything because that would require a LOT of manpower and time. Still, no compensation is given to those that would otherwise be payed for the job (game testers; it seems the playerbase is forced the role).

    The PTS server is not a requirement. However, I have been told that numerous bug reports, made even before the game was released, have simply been ignored to this day. An explanation is at the very least common courtesy.

    The dialogue, behavior, and general attitude toward the playerbase is lacking - they deserve better.

    I just want to make it clear that I am not demanding compensation nor do I dislike the game or have particularly disliked the game at all (in fact, quite the opposite) - I haven't posted a flame or complaint thread in this forum ever. Just stating the facts and where I believe a lot of negative emotion regarding ESO is stemming from.

    And Zenimax will not pay hundreds of Beta tester to bring a patch, bug free .
    So, if the player are not willed to test the new patches on PTR, and I mean testing and not looking into exploiting Stuff as soon as it goes to live, there will ever be issues with every new patch.

    Just a quick FYI, a lot of the bugs, such as the FPS issues found in the game currently, don't appear until an enormous amount of people log onto the server. Simply put, a lot of these bugs didn't actually appear on the PTS prior to going live.

    These bugs are annoying, sure. No one likes an unplayable build. However, they will get fixed as soon as possible and everyone one here should have enough manners to realize that rude behavior isn't acceptable, no matter how strong a sense of entitlement you might have.

    While this is a recurring topic, I agree, they really need to test patches before applying them to the live game. They typically break quite a few things per patch and comparatively fix less.

    It's a little disheartening.

    I am here on these forums because I still can't play. I have an older PC and was able to play this game for the whole campaign these last few months (finished 19th).

    I am experiencing the FPS drops as well as a loading issue that makes the game unplayable. I have put in ticket after ticket and has ended with "The developers are currently working on a hotfix to eliminate that issue you are experiencing." So I have to wait.

    Will I get compensated for this loss of gametime? Probably not. Can I influence the way they release these incomplete and downright game breaking patches? I hope so.
