[XB1 - NA] - Veteran Maw of Lorkhaj repeated crashes to dashboard

LiquidPony · March 2017

As of the Homestead update on XB1, Maw of Lorkhaj is again busted.

Group members are repeatedly getting the blue/pink screen and the game is crashing back to the XB1 dashboard. The second trash pull of the Trial is the worst spot, but we have crashes on the first trash pull and the first boss as well. It is nearly impossible to beat the first boss of vMoL when we never have more than 8 or 9 group members still in the instance at the first shield phase.

This is the same behavior exhibited in vMoL for months, that was finally fixed a couple of months ago, and now has returned with a vengeance.

The old issues with veteran Hel Ra Citadel are back in play as well. Odd issues with the left (lower) side boss not resetting after wipes, repeated disconnects and dashboards, etc.

Please help us. We give vMoL a shot every couple of days to see if anything's changed, but we can't even get to the first boss without experiencing a dozen crashes. After crashing, players often crash again just trying to use the portal to catch up the group. Often the same users crash repeatedly. I do not know if there is a pattern, but we'll often have 2 or 3 people who crash over and over again and then another 2 or 3 who crash intermittently.

This is a real issue for the console raiding community. We can't progress. We are stuck running only Aetherian Archive or Sanctum Ophidia for the 1,000th time. All vMoL progression is on hold on console. The leaderboards are basically empty.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom can someone please acknowledge that ZOS is aware of these issues? People have been filing bugs daily since Homestead was released and I don't see any response to any of those posts. If there is more information or context we can give, I would be happy to help out. We will record videos. We will invite ZOS XB1 players along for a vMoL attempt. I will go buy a new XBox and test it on that if it would possibly help.

As always, I understand that bugs have to be triaged and that this is likely an extremely hairy issue to track down. Nonetheless, I don't think it is unreasonable for us to expect to be acknowledged.

Thanks.

Here are some other bug posts from past couple of weeks (I found these just scrolling through the first half-dozen pages of the Bug Reports forum; there are surely more here and in the console technical support forums and probably elsewhere as well). There are at least a dozen separate bug reports, all found in just a few minutes of skimming, and not a single one has a ZOS response:

Tried again with a PUG last night.

3 crashes on the first trash pull. 4 crashes on the second (including both healers), which led to a wipe. 3 more crashes on the next attempt.

2 crashes right when the first curses went on on the first boss, 1 more during the pillar phase. Wiped on shield phase with only 9 people in group. Next attempt, both tanks crashed in the first 30 seconds of the fight.

Took about 1 hour to accomplish nothing other than to see 15 crashes and then quit. Awesome.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom please.

They don't care at all. 6 out of my 12 raid team have quit the game because of this bug. Just like last time it took them 3 months to fix it and that's when the new trial comes out. My advice is to quit the game and give it another try in 3 months when Morrowind comes out.

LiquidPony · March 2017

@TooSaucy maybe so. I'm going to keep posting bugs and hopefully I'll get a response someday.

PlayStation has same issue since man. It's rough getting some members of my trials guild their skin since we have crashes and such throughout the trial.

Also, at last boss it always seems to target a healer to *** around with. Always!!! We have tried different healers to see if anything new happens, nope, same thing.

We are getting to lunar phase when we don't have to because of crashes and blue screens.

Vet hel ra isn't bad if you don't wipe in the second boss, if you do, might as well restart the trial.

LiquidPony · March 2017

We still get crashes and DCs in Hel Ra. Not nearly as bad as MoL but much worse than AA and SO.

DPShiro · April 2017

As it is now, all Trials are petty much unplayable on consoles.

And ZoS doesn't care enough to fix them even though one is paid content.

Emm...they DO care. They DO work on getting this fixed. We have a Dev tracker....use it before complaining in every thread.

That's a great point, there is a dev tracker. Now use it to look back at how long this has been an unresolved issue...

Don't get me wrong. I know it's frustrating...for me as well. Nevertheless they are working on it. So do you think it will help to complain every single day. There is a console patch scheduled for mid April. Does it sound like they do not care? I don't think so..

Don't even attempt hel ra if it's dark on Xbox na

Out of all the guild I raid with maw is unplayable with the 1000s of disconnects you experience. You D.C. In add pulls 1,2,3 the first boss usually 4-6 D.C. At a time so usually all groups disband by then.

I've made several posts about this as well and we get a one line answer in the last patch note hey we can't fix this for you console but do not worry they fixed the quest giver in green shade.

Even sanctum has had some serious crashes. A whole group dcd on troll bridge and completely voided the trial and it did one other time the add pull after ozara.

Aa isn't without problems either during add pull before 1st boss ther can be D.C.'s as well as 1-2 first boss and then again on large add pull prior to second boss.

FIX TRIALS on CONSOLE.

My guild was actually thinking about starting a go fund me account for zos to fix trials on console.

Which do yo I think they will make a priority something which is mentioned daily or the quest bug people forget about?

JamieJammer · April 2017

Alright so the only way on Xbox to get through 1st boss is 8 or less

JamieJammer · April 2017

Sooo did it the other night short of 4 hard hours of constant disconnects.... total time spent on targets when people didn't D.C. <30 min on targets whilst not dcing restof time was spent waiting for people to relog once they'd dcd.

JamieJammer · April 2017

@ZOS_GinaBruno can we get an answer or aknowledgement of how broken this is or would like to come raid with us and experience this utterly painful torture session? Who
is working on this? What would it take to speed this up? Would you like it to be streamed? Help!

JamieJammer · April 2017

Fix me please
