The state of ESO

I'm not typically one to complain, because I know that this big of a game and this big of an update isn't easy to maintain. But, I am here to complain right now. I love ESO. I got it maybe a month after the PS4 release and I have been playing it pretty much non stop when I'm not at work. My wife absolutely hates it. Since the new update the game has become pretty close to unplayable. I need people to stop complaining about the nerfs, and start complaining about the bugs. I don't even care about the beams not showing right now. There are bigger priorities that need fixed and fast.

Yesterday me and my group were trying to run the daily non vet in Elden Hollow. It was set to my level (49) with a healer, tank also level 49, and a dps (Vet 10). We run just us three through non vet dungeons all the time. Last night with the amount of lag, we didn't stand a chance. Our screens would freeze and show nobody moving then 10 seconds later our screens would show us all dead. I could just sit there and spam breath of light and nothing happened except the inevitable death. We did all eventually get booted from the server due to the infamous to many messages error.

Another thing is no access to guild bank, and no prices on guild store. Me and a few guildies made a crafting guild to put all our crafting materials in to save space. So due to not being able to withdraw my crafting materials, I can't do daily crafting writs. And due to prices not showing on guild stores I can't even buy the materials to use.

I haven't even tried going to IC due to the massive amount of people queing up and based on the fact I prefer mostly PvE anyways it doesn't bother me. The problem is as someone who doesn't even plan on going to IC anytime soon, I can't do my normal things because of it. Loading screens are 10x longer. Lag is 1000x worse.

That's my rant. It's very annoying and disheartening to have the game I want to spend my free time playing unplayable. I know there are likely many programmers deep in the code trying to fix all the bugs that came with this update, but as a consumer in the 21st century we want things done yesterday. Please hurry.

People who may comment on this, please be courteous to ZOS. This is not meant to be a underhanded post. It is simply a rant because there are many bugs and it bothers me.

    First off, love the game. Preordered on PC and been subscribed since launch and even purchased a few extra crowns to support the game (and my bank space).

    For a AAA MMO I have never seen more technical issues with both the performance of the Patcher or the Client.

    ZOS, please understand that this is meant in the best way. ESO is a success. Employ the people you need to fix your ***. It's embarrassing.

    I know what you mean. ESO is a game I WANT to play and the loading screen issues/lag issues are REAL barriers to enjoyment of the game. I support the game 100%, but ZOS has to be made aware that the quality of the gaming experience in the service department needs improving.

    Maybe your wife was behind all the mess? Sue her. ;)

    Sloppy workaround to get prices in the Guild Store

    Just select the desired item like you would buy it.
    You get a nag-screen, uhu confirmation-screen, if you really want to buy it.
    In the same screen, the price is revealed

    It's not perfect, but better than nothing

    I've played UO, Shadowbane, Star Wars Galaxies, World of Warcraft, Lord of the Rings Online, Age of Conan, Secret World, Tera, Final Fantasy XIV (both), Fallen Earth, Star Wars The Old Republic, Darkfall, APB Reloaded, and I'm sure more...

    ESO has more daily issues with technical problems than any..ANY, of the above. Oh. I left out Vanguard Saga of Heroes. Even that was more stable on a daily basis and my patcher never had a patch manifest Error...
