after getting to 300cp on pc compared to 800 on xbox with 12/12 characters all maxed bla bla bla
i can tell you xbox is dead, the community is toxic and the game is broken beyond belif. it is only a cash cow for zennimax
the decisions made are heavily influenced by how much money will be made not how happy the community will be
hence 100 people paying for eso plus to run mol and it not working

gg business looks pretty good m8

Prof_Bawbag · May 2017

True story. Me and someone else waited for over 3 hours tonight on dungeon finder to put us into a group. Nothing. Same has happened a few times. You're lucky you even get put into a group to get the group abandoned. I don't even get that far most of the time.

Orbital · May 2017

they have law and order on netflix?

Play on PS4 and tried to play on XBOX because a few of my buddies got the game. Blew my mind how terrible the game plays on XBOX compared to PS4. Figured they'd be the same quality and wow they are not.

yeah its awful, i dc'd 9 times tonight in vmol at the first boss, running back grabbing aggro popping a horn and just freezing hahaha its so bad idk why we even try tbh, miss that trial so much, group finder, linking an item from your bank to be stuck in menu, so many silly little things that render this game a pain instead of a fun thing to do. ye we still do it

i play pc too must most people on there have no fingers, light attack mobs and spam bow abilities its quite sad

Tigeracer · May 2017

Although probably not as bad or often, PC gets some of the same problems. We definitely all get kicked from group finder after reaching the dungeon. Anytime I do a dungeon now, I have to manually port in using the map.

NewBlacksmurf · May 2017

Pretty much

hmsdragonfly · May 2017

lonewolf26 · May 2017

Sounds like you've found all the bugs we also have on PC that ZoS hasn't fixed wrt broken group finder, invisible players, and Cyrodil lag.

PC is a smoother experience. I understand why the console game is in trouble. To fix it would require zos to spend a substantial amount of dollars.

DId zos bite off more than it can chew, releasing it on 3 platforms?

What ever it takes, they should fix it. It may even we don't see content for a while. Its not fun and just about pointless when your gaming night is like that.

Avalon · May 2017

Spot on, except it is NCIS for me...

That is an incredible GiF right there

Tasear · May 2017

Why do you torture yourself? I don't think it's healthy.

notimetocare · May 2017

Peasant machines cant run MMOs, explains why almost no MMOs launch on it :P

johu31 · May 2017

Nailed it

CaptainBeerDude · May 2017

Maybe you have a full hard drive or something?
I get some lag a lot of the time, but that's because I'm about as far as you can get from either server.
All of these other problems are only occasional. Except being ganked. I'm like a *** target dummy if I go to Cyrodil.

max_only · May 2017

What kind of chicken are you sacrificing to Apollo?

Popeyes? KFC? Boston Market?

I'd get an update on that before totally giving up.

Shadow_Viper_vX · May 2017

Yeah ZOS really needs to put more resources behind fixing the game.

bebynnag · May 2017

Well thats where you are going wrong... you not supposed to sacrafice a chicken... its supposed to be a pig!

(serious note - please fix console already

still cant do the wrothgar quest line without dc'ing every 5 min (i really need some skill points)

grim_tactics · May 2017

Pretty spot on.

I love running around Cyrodiil pressing O several times waiting on an ability to work while stuttering across the map in 30v30 Zerg fight.
