    Day 21:
    Forced to go into IC for the 10th day in a row because permafreezing occurs constantly in a fight against other people.
    No hope on the horizon except for a fix that may not fix it. Permanent power down is imminent...

    Went back in this morning, full server, Vivec xbox1 x. Back to freezing in big fights, back to square one.

    Gone from hope to despair (again).

    These problems are all over the forums and facebook. Just take down the servers and fix it. Do they not know how to fix it (even though its been broken since summerset pc release) or are they waiting for scheduled patches? Hundreds of people are counting down the days for new games this fall and already canceling their eso +. Its basic economics that if you sell a good product then you will keep your customers. Right now it just seems like eso is concerned with quick sales through housing and crowns and pushing the next dlc ALREADY. If you took one dlc time frame to PURELY work on the server, crashes, freezes, over all game play... you'd have way more happy gamers and customers.

    One of the most valuable and important things I’ve taken away from my career is a phrase “be forthright of conflict”. When it comes to customers or consumers, you have to have the awkward or difficult conversations. Whether it is good or bad news, ANY news is better than NO news. There needs to be some sense of urgency to this or we, the customers, feel like all of our feedback and complaints and simply falling on deaf ears. It really is unfortunate because I love this game when it is working and believe it truly laid the foundation for console MMOs to come. However, these last several months / last year have been lackluster at best.

    I remember wishing that something catastrophic would happen on summerset launch to the base game so pvp and PvE players alike would see the glaring issues with this game and the way that ZOS handles it. Morrowind was an exciting time for someone who solely PvPs and I personally waited for a Reddit Q&A the minute it launched with the dev team about 2 1/2 years ago, SPECIFICALLY asking about battlegrounds and / or Arenas being added and I was the very first question in the thread. When morrowind released I couldn’t download it quick enough. Unfortunately the que system was fatally broken for MONTHS and the ZOS response we are seeing right now is the exact same mirrored approach they took. Only a marginal player base was affected then, but this is why I vowed to not spend another dime on the game until the base game was fixed at its core. Seeing this same careless “we will get to it when we get to it” approach really turns me off and it’s discouraging for the future. I hope something “clicks” with the dev team because the player base is inevitably going to start hemorrhaging.

    @all Console players. The best way is, don’t play this game anymore. It’s a big joke what Zos doing with us here, really.

    But if we say, we don’t trust Zos anymore cause they are lying to us, we get a warning here or a ban. Are you serious Zos? Or tell us the truth and say; We don’t care about pvp players. So we can searching for a new game for us.

    This is unacceptable.

    Im kind of bummed out about this,i've spent 100s on this game ,invested alot of time but now i really feel they don't care about console this lag/freezing problem is something you fix asap.I started playing paladins and enjoy it.

    Went into PS4 NA Shor last night and froze twice in large battles and had to close app and login again. I watched another player glitch/flash past me at Ash and only saw the animation for one snipe but died to a dawnbreaker and nightblade skills.

    In the other thread where Gina said "this might not fix it" I lost all hope. They're admitting they don't really know what the problem is and they're just trying things and hoping for the best, awesome.

    To be fair what Gina meant was the server side patch they were going to try might not work and it would then take a client patch to solve the problem. It will probably require both. imo

    Oh, and I posted this in a separate thread, but here it is again:

    A nearly 100% replicable performance problem that was NOT an issue before Summerset. Pre-patch, I was often freezing after leaving wayshrines. I can’t test this again tonight during prime time as I’m working a night shift, but I wouldn’t be surprised if freezing when leaving wayshrines is also still a thing.

    I had this exact same issue in Stonefalls and Deshaan last night 26.06.18. I've never seen long stuttering as bad as this at Wayshires. Personally I think their servers are tired. Replace them and double what they have already, god knows they must have the cash for it from all these mounts and crates.

    The crashes are essentially an added mechanic in trials on Xbox NA now. Every. Single. Pull. one of our 12 players crashes. It's not even worth it trying to progress end-game content at this point. To me, this makes the game un-playable.

    I've been expereincing random daily crashes for the whole 18 months I've played this game on Xbox but it has never been this bad. And this was after ZoS was supposed to fix the crashes! How is that even possible!

    How can you try to fix crashes and end up making them WORSE?!? How did the people who worked on these fixes fail so horribly and miserably it doesn't even seem possible.

    Thanks all. :) We appreciate it. Just got a few more details from the team. It sounds like what would help them the most is longer videos along the timestamp(s) of where the issue appears in the video, the character name, and the platform/server.

    This is from a PS4 NA player on EP (MWsRAGE_5 is the poster's PSN gamertag I believe) in Vivec. It's pretty typical of what players experience. #1 shows major FPS drop, then it recovers. Video #2 shows unrecoverable perma-freeze (force-close is only way to recover). These incidents happen out of the blue (no advanced warning) and usually in areas of heavy combat or a where there is a sudden influx of players.

    Video 2 (Cyrodiil, total perma freeze, close and reload, no option for error report) is me every evening in the UK PS4 EU, Sorcerer. Also, coming out of wayshires in PVE huuuuuuge long stutering in framerate until it catches up.

    The freezing was horrible when Inplayed last night. I refused to quit and kept re-logging but it was the worst performance I've seen on any game ever. And if I wasn't frozen I was fighting the Invisible Man where players just completely disappear but can still attack you.

    Common tactic to dilute criticism and keep it to a minimum. Most people will stop visiting a thread after it has reached as many pages as this one and people who haven't read any of it yet wont go through it to read the whole thing. By shutting down those threads they keep all discussion of this issue buried 20 pages deep. It's sad :(

    Can’t log in on PS4 now.

    Working as intended I guess.

    Says, cannot connect to server.

    Can do everything else on PSN at the moment (browse the store, watch Netflix, and jumped on Overwatch and they’re working fine). Just can’t play ESO.
