    A lot of issues are still blighting us PC players that have played since beta, and still waiting.

    And wait?, for how long? another year, 5 years, 10 years, a millenia?

    Hehe.

    If you enjoy the game yes, help bring in new players to generate revenue for the company. They can hire more help and get more done. They just had a change in staffing as well.

    Consider your other MMO alternatives. The grass isn't always greener and this is coming from the guy who has played just about every single major MMO title since EverQuest. ESO is a rose in the desert, despite it's issues. Continue to support the game we love, and there's a better chance for changes to occur. Telling people to quit, well...that's not going to help anyone.

    Agree with you, but I never ever said for anyone to quit, and I have supported this game since pre launch and still do.

    I stated that some issues are still in existence ingame and have been since launch, and still here more than a year later.

    That is fact.

    And I do not play any other MMOs, generally FPS and strategy games with some GTA5 thrown in hehe.

    But agree with you on ESO being a rose in the desert, many, including myself wish the game to be better for all players, regardless of platform, as game stability is always absolutely vital.

    And your point is?

    My post was a tongue in cheek reference to the truth, what of it?

    Many have been here since the beginning and are still playing, hoping issues get fixed.

    Take a look around the forums, no must be about it...

    Just as well I never put in aeons or something on my earlier post, more people would take things out of context:P

    People. Little, Impatient people.
    When the last expansion of World of Warcraft was released, it was the same thing.
    I was in a queue, with a position of about 30,000 in front of me.
    30,000
    The game was laggy for a few weeks, then settled down.
    I logged on just to check out the queue times.
    Everyone that has experience with new expansions KNOWS you don't plan on doing anything in the game for the first week or two.
    Bugs, unexpected loads, tweaks, mini-patches, mini-updates, servers going up and down while they work to resolve the issues.

    I'm glad to see people playing the game but it really feels you guys are expecting an MMO to behave like a frickin single player first person shooter.

    Have you ever played any AAA FPS games on PC? hehe, all the Battlefield games have been terrible launches requiring up to a year and loads of huge patches to make the game good, regardless in the main of gaming rig/net.

    Even a couple of the CoD series have had bad launches

    Even really good ones like Payday2 had a few issues.

    Slightly off topic, but felt as though I had to say something as someone who has a lot of FPS experience in games from way back when

    I was extremely excited to hear eso would be coming to console, pre-ordered it and was on the minute it was released. Like many I was unable to actually play the game, I waited at the login screen for 3 hours, finally I gave up. Went to bed, and was actually able to get on and create my character, but was kicked of many times. Today I haven't been able to stay connected for longer than 15 minutes at a time without being booted out. The wait times in between are completely unreasonable. They had a year to get this together, failed on pc release, and now console. The amount of money people spend on this game/franchise, you'd think they'd finally do something right, give the fans what they want. The game is awesome, I just wish I'd be able to play it. i know there are a lot of fanboys that will defend them, and talk about other game releases not going so well, but I've been on a few call of duty games where the release went smoothly and the servers held the massive amounts of players on there. But I'm finally able to log on, so I guess I'll be back in about 15 minutes when I get kicked off to see if this has been deleted. Get it together guys. I'd like a consistent experience.

    Im sorry did you just compare Eso Launch to Call of Duty? They are Two completely different things, although i do agree that these queue times and the service interruptions are getting fairly annoying.

    Stop acting like a child.. MMOs almost always have a few issues regarding the servers around release.

    Personally I haven't had this problem, anyone who loves the elder scrolls series, or mmorpgs should most definitely pic this up.

    I know what you mean OP. I wouldn't recommend this game to just anyone either.

    I would only recommend this game to people who's opinions on gaming I respect, people who are talented and creative and demand quality in their digital entertainment, serious gamers who want immersive combat, expansive exploration, a unique skill system, viable end-game crafting, quality voice-acting, and brilliant graphics.

    No, I wouldn't recommend this game to just anyone...

    Wait, maybe I don't know what you mean, OP.

    Not at all.

    I keep seeing the same excuses about how many players there are, isn't that what the mega servers were for? The beta, they knew how many people would be playing or that many copies of the game wouldn't have been playing. I'm still gonna play the game, but I'm also gonna complain when the release was this horrible, you kids just keep up the excuses, im sure you're making yourselves feel better, and making them feel better, now they know when they mess up, their fan base is going to be ok with it each and every time.



    release was good... It worked partially... I have seen so many releases go wrong for month not accessing the system.. remember ObamaCare?

    If you are ready to give the game a bad review because of NORMAL mmorpg issues the first 48 HOURS then you are part of the problem.

    Comments like this are hilarious. You know this game is more than a year old right? Its not the first 48 hours of an MMO release, its a rush of players in a 15 month old MMO...a rush THEY WERE EXPECTING. On a platform they built and operated for over a year.

    Its called capacity planning. If I was asked to provision hardware and make sure to scale test the system months in advance of a release (with lots of dev resources, this was priority #1 for the team), and failed so utterly and completely to properly estimate required capacity lets just say my boss would be placing a job ad for my position.

    Clearly you don't know what you're talking about. Because no, for profit company, is going to go out and spend millions of dollars for extra servers just to handle server overload which will subside in a short period of time- leaving them with millions of dollars in idle servers. That does not make cost sense. Clearly you are not a bean counter, because they have already taken the expected initial launch capacity, compared it with their expected player retention over time, calculated how many players they could afford to lose because of server problems, and came up with the number of servers they have now. Considering how much money they have already initially invested in the game, how much money they have lost because of postponing console launch over a year and having to fix so many things... no, they are not going to continue throwing money into a game without an expectation of return on investment.

    I agree with everyone who says to give them time to correct the issues. I am a little concerned that PC players are still experiencing problems they had with the beta. One of the great things I'm expecting from this game is added content and updates. It would be concerning if the developers don't address known issues in a timely manner, then what will they do with additional content.
