Awesome patch...great quality testing. Another night of 10+ crashes. Lost all my siege because you put your siege you crash its gone. Didn t get more than 1000ap tonight because you defend keeps you crash you log back in and thanks for nothing...no mail no reward...hey I killed 20 dudes alone and destroyed all those sieges...nope go f yourself no reward for you. But but I spend time between all thoses crashes can I at least have...NO I told you be gone!

Then I fire /bug to report that the game constantt....CRASH and no point because this time it was a hardware crash.

Then I come here to vent and to wonder why I have to pay a subscription when we are basically still doing beta testing for you guys...seriously guys...get some QA people in there. There are hundreds of nerds who would like nothing more but to QA this stuff for you. So what is wrong with you people? No other MMO in the world is as bad in terms of fixing one bug by adding two more and making the client crash constantly.

    I have been trying for the past hour to log in, I have gotten in on two occasions both of which crashed within 2 minutes. This is a disgrace and should have received IMMEDIATE attention but no, nothing at all from this bunch of amateurs.

    The best part of crashing is the Cyrodiil death bug. So if you log in dead, you have to relog yet again. Every time you crash in combat odds are you'll be dead when you log back in. When that happens your neck and ring enchants no longer work.

    I reported this bug back in early beta and it is 100% reproduceable yet it *still* exists. As far as I know this is the oldest bug in the game.

    I had no idea those bugs even existed but I can say its prolly why I haven't been getting the damage I wanted. Guess when I zone .Ill need to redress.When I die?..Ill need to redress. When I use transit ...Ill need to redress.

    Is there a macro for redressing?..Im supercereal.

    Redressing doesn't fix the issue. Only relogging or switching zones from what I've seen.

    Wow. I didnt know this. Previously when I come back to game after crashing I usually check if my costume is on when I respawn and when it isnt i relog. Looks like I need to put on some costume just to made aware of this one.

    Hope putting on costume doesn't make me crash, firstly. Sigh.

    Back in Auriel's Bow 1.0, I have thought that the best way to handicap a faction with the HUGE pop advantage is to temporarily disable their grouping functionality and their ability to fight in 3rd person point of view! Let's see if these do not even up the odds.

    If ZOS was NASA, Curiosity Rover would have crashed on takeoff

    If ZOS was Harland and Wolff, shipbuilders for White Star Line, the Titanic would have crashed in the port where it sailed from

    If ZOS was Nora Ephron, Tom Hanks would never have got mail because his machine would have crashed when his mail client launched

    If ZOS was a crash test dummy, it would have crashed taking the elevator to work

    HAHA DC was in Aleswell or some other keep, we breach and the whole army in front of us is static besides the NPCs inside the keep. The whole 30+ DC that were in the keep actually DC'ed (DC DC'ed...got it...I make jokes)

    Felt bad...then I crashed myself and never got the AP points for it...some patch you got there. Thanks for all this useless content in PVE and I am not interested in...yeah thanks for that. Thanks for adding all this content I won t do and for breaking the game at the same time. thanks It is like watching a movie then the TV shuts off and you have to unplug and replug it but sometimes it does not work and you have to replug it several time then your cable if not working so you reboot it and then you are back in the movie...for 5 minutes just so BAM TV off again just as the killer was going to tell who is his accomplice.

    Then you realize you paid for that movie because its a PPV. You call tech support and they email you to repair your client and do stuff that is totally unrelated to the issue as if the problem is on your end because you are a *** that thinks a mouse is a foot pedal...

    Meanwhile the PR people are on vacation and locked the social media accounts for a whole week so that NOBODY acknowledges that there is a problem.

    Only one tweet gets posted, its a picture of bagdad bob with his hands in the air and a caption saying: "There are no problems in Cyrodiil, the last patch is working fine"

    When you get a character in a crash loop (crashes, then crashes when logging in after that, every time) the only remedy is to:

    A ) Wait for server restart (approx 1 week if they actually do server maintenance)
    B ) Contact support. It seems faster in-game (log into another character) but you can do it through login window as well.

    The crash themselves would not be THAT bad if after crashing you wouoldn t either:

    - Get the loading spinning wheel of death to get to the character screen
    - Get the loading spinning wheel of death Cyrodiil loading screen

    Which forces you to crash the client AGAIN to relog

    On my Mac the first thing I look for is for the spinning wheel to not turn smoothly. It it is not turning smoothly it means the game is loading stuff. If it is turning smoothly it means it missed a call and is now in limbo and instead of waiting for hours you should crash the client.

    Seriously the fact that you do not have a loop to check if the game is actually loading is utterly pathetic. Once you are logged in you should never ever be stuck with a spinning wheel...ever

    I crash so much in Cyrodiil that I'm waiting for a Hotfix.

    Comon Zenimax. Do Something. Like right now.

    Sub finish in 7 days. Will I re-buy? Is there a reason why I would, as a PvPer?

    That is the question.

    I didn't even realize that was happening. That makes these crashes 100 times more frustrating.

    I've spent more time complaining about the crap in the game on the forums this past week than I have actually playing the game.

    That's pretty pathetic.

    Crashed 9 times tonight. Everytime I crash I log back in and get a spinning wheel of death...that is unacceptable.

    I want a refund for the last week. Cyrodiil is unplayable the score should be reset to last monday and the campaigns stopped while you fix what you broke.

    I am serious I want a credit for 7 days of constant crashes...not paying for this, the service is not working as advertized AND the company is being silent on the issue refusing to address and acknowledge it which is also unacceptable

    I've been home and playing for less than an hour and two crashes already. Both times I was in the middle of fighting other players and both times I get to log back in dead and both times I've had to fix my broken jewelry, which means that I've had to travel back to where I was when I crashed.

    Edited to add that it's now been three times. No error reporting window, just that it's stopped working. Fix this already.

    ^ Can we have some acknowledgement that you are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it? I recognise that you have asked for more info in another thread, but that is all I have seen in terms of a response to this huge issue in PvP right now. I really enjoy this game but PvP is the only thing that keeps me in the game. I don't want to leave, but if this problem is allowed to stay live any longer we will once again start bleeding PvPers (FPS bug - remember?) and it will result in PvP becoming increasingly empty. Right now on EU Thornblade is the only campaign with any action, and through the weekend when I did take part that action was thin on the ground (particularly if you don't like fighting around keeps all the time).

    Step one to resolving this problem is acknowledging it exists and letting us know that you are working hard to fix it. I appreciate time frames and so forth are difficult to give when dealing with something as complex as ESO, but I'm confident you've all sat down and talked about this. Just touch base with us now and again. We're not asking the earth and that tiny gesture will go a long way to making sure the community does not crash (see what I did there?)

    They didn't give us credits/game time for the FPS bug, they won't here either.
