• NA megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)
• NA megaservers for maintenance – December 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 8:00AM EST (13:00 UTC)

this is just so disheartening!

Yes.. this is another rant thread on the [snip] loading screen and another beating the horse on it. [snip]
So.. the longer playtime, the more this "usually" long loading screen occurs and crashes. Yesterday, about 5 hours of gameplay, I lost count. I think it was around 12-14 times of this long arse loading screen and 12-14 times of having to close app and reload; 3 of which occurred during Cradle of Shadows. Then, you also get the blue screen crashes.. 2 of those as well. [snip] Usually, the weekend are my longer playtime and catch up, but I just gave up yesterday (again like the other couple times during the weekdays.) I'm sure today will be the same crapshoot. Zen/Bethesda/developers, you all suck right now, and no patch or fix foreseeing for this coming week, apparently. So we are awaiting more of this [snip] today and all next week.. perhaps the following week or weeks as well?
Oh, and watch out if you get lazy sometimes, like me, and want to recall to wayshrine without going to a wayshrine. Well, when you get that long arse loading screen, then have to close app and reload and am back on, it's already showing you had recalled, even though, you didn't transport anywhere. It will cost the successive recall cost of 700 or 800 gold or so for another recall. [snip] oh man. Ha ha ha
I give Bethesda and its developers big kudos, though, on such as ambitious and expansive game. I, not being an IT or game coding/developing guy, is at awe at what can be accomplished with video games nowadays, in general. ESO is one hell of a video game. However, damn, all the craps going on following every single installation/release of a new DLC or contents to ESO; which we have to endure and play through crap until the issue (or issues) has been addressed or fixed. [snip] man?!

Il3rotherhood✭✭✭The "funny" thing is we might have to wait until next patch for a fix, because it seems it's the rate they are trying to fix the game: 3 months at a time.4 -

✭You express exactly what I came to post. I love the game, wanted to play but I simply can't anymore.
Disconnects, infinite loading screens, lag and today even small rollbacks. It's just not playable and I had to go play something else.

i have seen that happen before and it really does make things "Worse" for the community.
what is always better is for just new management persons, or even new people hired or promoted, or new way of doing things within the company instead of completely selling the company.

✭I can deal with the load screen for now. I really wish they fix whatever is causing so many dc's. Maybe it's related and both can be fixed, pls?PC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.0 -

Hiring more people wont solve the problem. It will only make the prices go up even more. What they need to do is get away from the stock-exchange (screw the shareholders imo!), fire the CEO (or lower his salary by 75%) and get the game back to where it belongs: of the players, for the players! Games these days are only made for one goal: to make as much money as possible before the crowd moves on. Wich is going on since investors discovered the gaming-industry...(Btw, there is a nice reference in Fallout 4 to ESO: a family called the Summersets)

Jake1576✭✭✭✭✭If I had know this game was going to end up ending like this I wouldn't of put so much time into playing it. I can't believe there is no answer yet why the load screen's are happening or a fix. I know it's the weekend and everyone is off work right now. but with this being such a huge issue I would of thought the people at zos would of wanted to work overtime to solve this issue. since its such a major one it's crazy to think no one at zos cared enough to. perhaps you guys have faith your customers will stick around during this *** show. but that's just not going to happen. sure there will be people who will play no matter what but you guys are also loosing a lot of player's do to this issue.

✭Well, 6 times today just for myself just within a few hours of playtime and not counting the other group members during the dungeon/pledge runs; but, who's counting. I needed a break again from that. It's really more than just this debacle. It's after or following every new DLC and anniversary contents. It's just so messed up. Why have they not learned or improved upon, or have they been actually trying? Is it because things are so complex, because the game is so expansive to include new contents every few months? I'm not complaining much about the contents. The game and all its contents are quite enjoyable when working right. Between the months until the new DLC, it seems like it's working fine half of the time and jacked up the other half.
