Compensate us for steam issues

So of course Steam must be the problem eh? I mean the other 230 odd games I have on Steam are working perfectly normally so it MUST be Steam. The multiplayer online games such as Rocket League, The Division, DayZ etc. must all be affected ... erm ... no. All working fine. So the ONLY game that seems to be experiencing persistent and frequent login issues via Steam would be ESO wouldn't it? So what can you infer from that?
So while I am extremely annoyed that I am going to be down a crate (actually 2) because of this outage AGAIN, I can at least play another game ... on Steam ... that doesn't have these issues.9 -

Put your brains to good use man! Gimme some evidence it's steam's fault and you can take a cookie. ESO is running well for nonsteam users, so what's the problem with steam alone? do you really think steam is responsible for the game and gaming process? the game runs NOT on steam but on ZOS's SERVERS, so all connection issues are the fault of ZOS, steam just provides us an ability to run the launcher. all game data is stored on ZOS's servers as well. so dont please type such nonsense
Why should ZOS have to do something because the third party site you are using isn't working properly? Steam can do something for compensation as well.
I think you answered you rude quandary yourself, steam users have no problems. I think there is something to ESO running through a third party program. ZOS is innocent until proven guilty, so provide some, and I'll concede, until then, try to remain civil.3 -

Nope. Again, maybe you should think before typing. How many of the games on Steam are third party? The vast majority of them ....and they're all working. All except ESO ... and get this ... even ESO NA is working via Steam ... not EU. So please enlighten us all with your analysis of how Steam is the problem

✭✭The amount of "offline" time should be added on the ESO+ time. I agree with maintanance, but I didn't agree and pay for incompetence. 2 days connection issues? 2 days more ESO+.5 -

I as well as most folks I know could write books on Steams issues with performance, lag, their dirty tricks and their complete lacking of giving a damn.
I understand that a handful of folks think ZoS is the ultimate evil....but Valve has much larger issues than ZoS ever will

Odnoc✭✭✭✭I can login fine, sounds like an issue with steam. Why are you expecting compensation from ZOS for steams problem? Not sure it works like that.
Using a third party is a bad idea anyhow, why? Because of issues like this.Edited by Odnoc on June 18, 2018 12:35AM1 -

Lirkin✭✭✭✭Please allow us to separate our account from steam and login directly to the game.
Earlier steam users know their login so can bypass steam but newer people do not know our login to the game.4 -
Lirkin✭✭✭✭Steams connection to Zeos is the issue and it could be steam that has the problems as they do some different stuff to log us into the game.Edited by Lirkin on June 18, 2018 12:38AM1

nryerson1025✭✭✭✭I hate that my account is linked to steam, I will regret it every day I continue to play this game... But what do you really want? What do you expect? 5000 crowns and what, we say it's okay we can't unlink and will continue to have this issue?2 -
Esquirel✭✭Now here's two big companies: Zenimax and Valve.
They decide it would be beneficial to distribute ESO and it's services both ways to draw in more potential gamers and up not only the popularity of the product itself but also and foremost to increase their revenue stream.
I really do not and should not have to care about which of the two companies are responsible for the incompatibilities caused by them merging services and on top of it suffer each and every time this happens to be called a dumba$$ because I bought my service this way and not the other.
THEY made this deal! THEY have to find a solution and rectify the problem for the customer base they created in putting ESO up on Steam.
If the conclusion is that the launcher problems just cannot be solved reliably the least I would expect is to provide this customer base with an alternative method to log in. Regardless, of when or where they layed their RL money down to invest in this game!

Arobain✭✭✭✭(issue happens very uncommonly) large portion of playerbase: " THIS IS *** HAPPENING EVERY 2ND DAY, I HAVE KIDS, I DONT HAVE TIME TO MESS AROUND WITH THESE ISSUES, HOW CAN YOU CALL THIS A GAME IF I CAN NEVER PLAY IT? ZOS IS ONLY MONEY HUNGRY GOATS THAT DONT CARE WHATSOEVER ABOUT THEIR OWN GAME, THIS IS LITERALLY THE WORST GAME ON THE ENTIRE PLANET, WOW I CANT BELIEVE HOW INCOMPETENT THE DEV TEAM IS "
(same thing happens in ANY other mmo community) playerbase: oh yeah thats fine, i'll just get on when the problem is fixed, cya guys then!
think thats a pretty good summary of the idiocy in the ESO community ( i play steam btw )3 -

That's not the case. No other games have been reported as having issues. Therefore the issue has to be with ZOS. There is some configuration problem that ZOS can't seem to fix and have it stay fixed.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa5 -

You realize they likely use different API’s for different games? Just because you can access one through steam doesn't mean you will be able to access another. I authenticate fine, doesn't sound like an issue in ZOS's side.Edited by Odnoc on June 18, 2018 1:32AM1 -
SophiCat✭✭You know there have been times when groups of people couldn't get access during an event, and it's been my experience that ZOS is pretty darn cool about extending event times when that happens - so you guys might just give them a chance to do something like that in this case before you go exploding all over the place...

Butterbeans✭✭Think this is a Steam issue rather than ZOS.. It might just be taking a while because Steam isn't the best when it comes to support and they have probably just sent word to their monkey to get started on resolving the issue

And no. Last time there was a problem with Steam, other games were affected too. There was even a thread about it on r/Steam.
The other games got their problems fixed quickly.
ZOS took over 10 hours. And now its broken again, likely from the same issue.PC-NA Goat - Bleat Bleat Baaaa1 -
Priyasekarssk✭✭✭✭✭Steam is a trash platform that is bad for the games industry, this is karma.
Steam loads so much games without issues. I never get into issues with GTA 5 or final fantasy or any other top games, probably I didnt even notice this long and frequent. Problem could be in either side ZOs or steam. Its ESO specific issue. When raise steam ticket , response is please contact ZOS its not our issue. If not ZOs issue , why ZOs dont tell the same thing ?
If steam is the issue, ZOS can take that on legal ground and unlink all ESO accounts from steam or even sue value for customer loss.Edited by Priyasekarssk on June 18, 2018 3:46AM2 -

natpag1✭We aren't going to be compensated in any way, so don't even bother asking. It's Sunday night here as well, I had a few hours to play and get my new Character up to 50 tonight. But now,tomorrow's a work day and it will have to wait til next weekend.... OH,, that's if the game is WORKING. I might get lucky and have one day to play, but then,won't be able to log in again. So my solution, stop stressing about not being able to play ESO, find another MMO to play.. with a different the competitors0
