Please rename Windhelm to lagfest!

Thornen · December 2016

Please rename Windhelm to lagfest for the duration of the festival, 1-2k pings everyone loves.

TheSeer · December 2016

I crashed. There were a bunch of [Censored] spamming animations with their atronach mounts.

lillybit · December 2016

Get used to 'This may be an unusually long load time.' And getting kicked back to character select.

Seriously, was it really the best idea to have an event that means everyone has to visit the exact same place over and over again?

TheSeer · December 2016

I feel like they did a better job with the Witches Festival, structure wise.

Thornen · December 2016

yeh on 3rd quest currently crashed once, kicked to login trying to zone back there and getting pings in the 2k range when I actually load into the zone. Stupidest *** event design I have ever seen.

PerArdua · December 2016

Yep people are getting lag spike all over tameriel not just east march

Mady · December 2016

Please rename this thread to MIMIMI !

TheSeer · December 2016

I didn't even get to talk to the quest giver, soon as she finally loaded I crashed.

mugenisme · December 2016

you guys are lucky, i cant even sign in and play from hours
i thought i was my net
thanks zos for the lag fest

Doctordarkspawn · December 2016

I cant get into windhelm to turn in my quest. Every time I try I lag and get disconnected.

Junipus · December 2016

Please ignore this thread as the problem will rectify itself within 12 hours. It's been 20 minutes where almost everyone in every zone all descend on one location so of course it's going to be stupidly laggy.

Once the first slew of people, i.e. now, have done the quests then the next group in about 5 hours will cause similar problems, then again 5 hours after that with a final hit 3 hours later before it'll balance itself out and the ping and volume of people will become more reasonable.

If you're gonna insist on being first for everything you gotta expect the bugs.

its not about the quest area its all of eso, i can even get inside, im playing in ps4

MikeTheeElder · December 2016

Yeah, I love how they have this entire world to play with so they just jam everyone into a little tent on a hill. Good thinking.

Problem is anyone with an IQ of more than 60 would realise straight away what would happen with the event the way it is designed.

Sergun · December 2016

rename in Unreachable

Loves_guars · December 2016

Please if this is 10 am I can't imagine friday night. You need to open several instances for Eastmarch now!!
Side note: The 2 quests that I was able to do are great, please don't ruin a lovely event.

Yinmaigao · December 2016

Dear ZoS,

I know it is crazy, but when you release a new event, People might want to participate in it!

Therefore, forcing the entire server to the same location over and over and over and over... isn't very high up on the "smart decision" list.

Sorry, not sorry,
A sad panda

Lylith · December 2016

really BAD idea to run all quests thru a single chokepoint.

what were they thinking?

the fall event was spread out, nicely - worked well.

but this?

eta: 'unable to log into game, please make sure you have a valid internet connection'

mmhmm...that must be it.

Cinbri · December 2016

Eastmarch = Cyro №2.

starlizard70ub17_ESO · December 2016

40 minutes into the event, and it's a failure already. But I kind of expected this.

People bitched that "all people wanted to do" was camp bosses for skulls, so their brilliant idea was to force every single person to the same damn place over and over with only 9 chances at loot per char per day to artificially create rarity on the drops.

FAIL!

Sarnni · December 2016

One quest giver for the entire server population was not that good of an idea. At least it will calm down in a week or two.

SantieClaws · December 2016

It is a shame yes that the technical issues are impacting the festival so much. Actually it was very enjoyable to do in Test Tamriel - because of course few travellers were there.

Yours with paws

BurningLobster · December 2016

Okay, why doesn't it give a group the same quest? My GF and I were really lookin forward to running around and doing this event, but that it is essentially just a solo activity kinda ruined it for us. At least let us do em together!!

I'm not sure that's true with this one. For other special events you've only needed to go somewhere specific to pick and complete the initial quest that activates it.

This one requires you to go back again and again and again. And all to one place rather than one for each alliance as with the others. Don't think it'll settle down much for a while.

TheSeer · December 2016

Messy1 · December 2016

Yeah, seems like the megaserver as a whole is suffering.

Yinmaigao · December 2016

The best part is, for grinders/people leveling alts, they have to go there every 2 hrs to reapply the buff, THUS adding even more stupidity to the already broken single point of failure.

Passes the logic check I suppose...

Have you tried making a group and one of you getting the quest then the other sharing the quest? That would ensure ou get the same quest I think.

Flynch · December 2016

Cunning tactic by ZOS to test server capabilities ^^
