Warning: Can be gloomy. Forecast of utter chaos in the horizon??

GreenhaloX · May 2017

WARNING: Can be perceived as a rant by some and I'm sure interesting and questionable comments and feedbacks are likely to follow.

With that said, I hate to be that guy.. that party pooper, that harbinger of gloom, but.. with this continuous lagging and glitchy movement going on in-game for the past week and more so, non-stop for the past several days and currently, can this be a less-than-favorable premonition or gloomy forecast of what are to come during this prep-up week leading up to Morrowind actual release, and more so, the days following? We all know and experienced how terrible it has been during and following every new installments/releases of DLCs and contents with lagging, glitches and bugs galore. This current constant movement glitching, not to mention whatever other unpleasantries others may be experiencing elsewhere within this game, is becoming a bit more painful.

Could it be that ZOS and the "good" dev team are more so focusing all their efforts and energy towards prep for Morrowind release, thus, neglecting the current gameplay. I mean, damn, for any business or company, when any one customer is not experiencing so positively for their product(s) or service(s), it is really unsat for such business or company, and they would want or enact swiftly to change that and improve upon. So what gives with this Zen/ZOS?! Goodness, it has always been a love or hate experience with this game and organization. Unfortunately, it is heading more towards hating again on my part. I can't imagine, currently, how things will be during the installment and release of Morrowind and what technical dysfunctions are potentially to follow.

ZOS/dev, you guys are killing me softly. Do something about this lagging and glitchy movement (on foot and mount) already! I'm about to put my pants on, get in the car and drive to UPS to send out some mudball package surprises to you guys. I'm ok with ignoring or blocking out the otherwise toxic in-game text chats and knuckleheads (and also tolerable of PvP), but this is transcending towards the ridiculous realm of things.

The lag has been bad as of late. Xbox na

They probably do have most of their staff working on Marrowind . I think a lot of us have noticed more lag and ping spikes lately on live . Hopefully it starts getting addressed as this is the last TC patch and everything thing else in updates goes directly live server .

We'll considering there's bad lag in vMA and that's a solo zone id say MW influx won't be a deciding factor.

I don't know what you're playing on, but I haven't noticed any lag lately

A lot of it is console players, and talking to a couple friends at MS, it could be just as much XBL fault as it is ZoS. I feel bad for the folks who play on console and hope that whatever it is, it gets addressed soon.

Right!!! Rip playing on xbox wit 10 yr old hardware.

I'm on PC and PS4. Lag was no problem until the maintenance this morning, now it's real jerky moving. Going to try a reboot and check PS4. Maybe it's that cyberattack affecting things.

No problem on PC EU for me since today's patch maintenance. Are you NA? Make sure any addons are updated if necessary (I don't use them but I gather they can be an issue after patches).

What? The xbox is more capable at running games than most PC players rigs.. it's not a hardware problem.

Did a reboot, shut down completely, and everything's fine now on PC and PS4. Might have been my ISP. Yes NA, good old Florida.

Awesome. At least it's working fine again for some, but yeah, I did the same, but no diff. It was actually worse later on the evening yesterday. Maybe that's when more players are on and more prime time for it. Will see today.. sigh..

ZOS/dev, you all will be loved again once this crap is fixed. However, I have to hold my breath and awaits what are to come during launch week.

adeptusminor · May 2017

I've been noticing worse lag the last week or so as well, and it's getting annoying!

This picture about sums it up... Long wait times to log in,.. long wait time to zone,... Take a few steps freezes crash. Trying to fight, kill the mob, walk over and drop over dead because you actually froze in the fight and they killed you.

The lag on XB1 is so bad right now that you can't even just stand in your own home... Your OWN home, Without crashing!!

We fear for what lag is going to be like on launch day for Marrowind

MrFish024 · May 2017

They have made it very clear to people that play on console that they would rather push new content and crown store items then fix anything. Vmol=broke vaa hm= broke vhrc= broke vma= still crash even through its been out over a year and a half. I still crash in cities, crash in my house, dungeons, and every trial. Can we ever get some fixes? Things weren't like this before homestead(launched 80 days ago) and we have had zero fixes since. It is sooooo obvious that current state of the game doesn't matter to zos when they can still sell you a $100 house and a nice dress for your character.

GreenhaloX · May 2017

This crap is still going on!.. and totally crap last evening of gameplay. It seems my toons has an invisible deployed parachute tied behind every single one. The constant dragging. I'm pushing forward on the direction stick so hard, in an effort to proc it to move, that I feel I'm going to break the left stick of my controller at any moment. ZOS/dev, you guys suck right now. So, we'll see later on today or evening after this maintenance. I hope it gets fixed or improves today.. dammit. What a shamble the gameplay have been for this past week and weekend. What those Brits say.. "Bloody hell!"
