Seriously FIX IT 「Rant」

MaxwellC · June 2016

My GOD I'm SO PISSED. I can't get into a big fight anymore I can't even PvP correctly anymore thanks to getting kicked to the F'in Dashboard 100 times like seriously each patch this game gets even more broken than it already is. I'm here trying to help my allies out but nope I can't because right as everything is going good and I'm picking up the dead BOOM like f'in ryu hadouken my ass to the dashboard.

Thanks to this B.S we lost Chalman yup and it's not only me who's getting dashboard I wish I could record gamechat right now because you'd hear 20+ people screaming "WHAT IN THE ACTUAL F" as we all gather in bleakers outpost.
Fix this issue at-least I mean we all know you're not going to fix Cyrodiils everlasting horrible connection issues because it's capacity is beyond you all.

MaxwellC · June 2016

I'd also be TRULY HAPPY if you FIXED the bug you brought into the game because this is all that happens to me now; honestly I'd prefer my charge abilities not even working now like last patch instead what it is now.

ZOS's fix for the issue is waiting for you to quit the game. As Matt said they're concerned with catering to the people who play for 2-3 weeks then quit until the next DLC.

@HoloYoitsu
Yeah I guess hardcore players who've played for year(s) and PUT UP with all the BS this game has to offer aren't hardcore enough for Sir Matt and speaking of which right as I type this message guess what.... KICKED TO FRONT OF THE GAME "Unable to connect to game server."

This is what's kept me from my Emperor that the DC is working hard for, people starting group to get me crowned just for this sh.. to keep happening man... I just....

MaxwellC · June 2016

Lol just got kicked back to the dashboard right as I get in oh and bleakers outpost wall has fallen and many of my allies are standing still/disappearing.

Oh wait nevermind got back in bam we lost bleakers and everyone is dead so am I lool. Thanks ZOS!!!!

HoloYoitsu · June 2016

My theory is that since ZOS "doesn't refer to ESO as an mmo", they view having players logged into the server as a resource drain that's costing them money, as opposed to the pillar that holds up the community and makes the game a thing that people want to spend money on. That's why they don't care for long term players.

Is this issue exclusive to Xbone?

MaxwellC · June 2016

@Digerati
As far as I know, nope it isn't.

Digerati · June 2016

@MaxwellCrystal
I have seen/heard very little of this on the PC side...

In fact, I was very pleased with performance.

DannyLV702 · June 2016

I see this being a more extreme case on Xbox. I don't get kicked much, on ps4 but I may as well considering how f'ing unplayable it gets. I only pvp at night when the lag is bearable. I do NOT understand how people can play during prime time. It's a bunch of flashing pixels and button spamming hoping your abilities work a minute later

MS paid for one month of timed-exclusivity. Then PS4 gets to crash to the cross menu bar every 5m too.

MaxwellC · June 2016

@Digerati
That's good news then mate I'd rather only one platform or two suffer it rather than all of us.. but man the flame of being pissed is still burning bright like the sun mate.

Digerati · June 2016

Wow the state of the game is that bad on consoles, eh?

I used to have some heavy complaints... But nowadays, performance on PC has been amazing.

Roechacca · June 2016

They'll fix it, it just takes flipping forever. If you're not a grumpy player, you will be after 2 years.

I was on Trueflame last night, peak time on Saturday night. I participated in 3-way castle fights with hundreds of people.. My FPS held up great, even at high settings (and my PC is not great). Latency spiked up to 500ms, which is quite tolerable with hundreds of people in visual range. Not saying it's perfect, but I just got back from about 6 months off and performance/lag has seen MASSIVE improvements.

camelot unchained is right around the corner guys

jircris11 · June 2016

The irony to this is most of the bugs seem to be pvp related. Something that has been buggy for years. It does not effect me since i do not pvp but i could see where it grows annoying.

Well when something goes wrong in PvE, you just respawn.. PvP actually somewhat matters, so the frustration is amplified.

ESO crashing to desktop or freezing up has happened so frequently for me since Dark Brotherhood came out. I play on PC. Last night in VDSA (our weekly trial) my game froze twice. Once just after the steamworks, and once just after the crypt. Both times I was looting the chest. I'd have filed a bug report, but of you're racing the clock, and getting set back by crashes you don't have the time. I'm surprised we got over 31k that run. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom any word on of fixes a are coming to any of these crashes..

Digerati · June 2016

One thing that we should be adding to these posts is... What Addons are you running? If you run a lot of addons, the chances that they interfere with each other or with the game client after each patch is pretty severe.

I run with only a few addons, and I'm not having issues.

What addons are you running? Have you tried going clean or disabling your outdated addons?

Have you tried any other client-side basic troubleshooting?

N0TPLAYER2 · June 2016

Up to 20 crashes in a row in elden root now. I'm gonna bump every Xbox post until I can play the freaking game.

I have this also on PS4 EU. Ever since Imperial City came out. Least for me I know of. I am hardcore PVPer also. I love PVP. But keep getting kicked out all the time also.

Are you serious? They actually said that they care to appeal only to casual players? Until the next dlcs? And people still try to defend it when we say ZOS is only in about the money.

Quite serious, here's Matt's E3 announcement from earlier this week.

Matt Firor wrote:

You don’t see a hardcore playstyle - like playing for six months and then quitting - we don’t see that. We have a lot of players who will play for two or three weeks because they want to get through a zone and then stop. Then they come back two months later for another month, because there’s no pressure to play all of it at once.

Our DLC packs cater to that, because they’re smaller, bite-size chunks of story and associated quests."

Digerati · June 2016

After playing last night, I'd have to say that I was wrong... Saturday night was fine. Sunday night had some major lag at sieges.

LOL, ya, they can "communicate" a response to something planned 3-4 months out, but not have any "communication" about issues making the game unplayable currently....

MaxwellC · June 2016

I just can't stop getting kicked to the dashboard or to the main menu anymore; I literally expect it at every big battle or when changing wayshrines/purchasing siege/ checking my inventory.

It is currently the worst it's ever been on Xbox. That said, it'll be even worse here in 15 minutes cause that's what history is showing us. No improvements, only consistently getting worse.

Side note, anybody else feel like the missing crowns bug is back again?

Quite the contrary.

On PC I always freeze and crash to login during large PvP battles, multiple times in a row mind you, until it respawns me back at an alliance gate.

And I won't even go on about the lag when it does work, latency spiking up to 500 and above, skills and weapon swaps not registering. It's truly a cluster****.

Yeah, this game is seriously broken for me.

And you know what happened when I submitted a support ticket, followed all their canned instructions to no avail? "Sorry we are too busy help you" They didn't even look at the report I sent them.

The worst service I've ever experienced.

So yeah, I guess I'm ******.

Probably because their coding team seems to be unable/unwilling to be able to fix even the simplest of bugs? But then I guess that fits right into Matt's feelings of only catering to people who play for a week or two, rage-quit because of all the bugs and then come back in a couple months.

Not sure which is worse, Zos' inability to fix their bugs, their inability to add captivating content or their inability to balance the game.
