MakoFore · July 2018

nothng has changed- nothing has gotten better. all this talk of improvements, server fixes, lag, more cores- nothing.
this year it s even worse- funny thing is- im still subscribed- now thats the joke of it. only way to affect change is to vote with our wallets it seems.

Last year we had a problem where only the killing blows to players counted towards the corresponding achievement counter. It was "hot" patched for tanks and healers.

This year we have the same problem with the bosses in Imperial City. How did this get overlooked lol? And apparently the Trove Scamp achievement is bugged too?

Plenty of AP and TelVar though!

seriously though- ZOS- fix your game- its utter and complete d#$s$T^ . Ive paid over 1000 dollars in crown store , subs and copies of the game- supporting you guys, more than what ive paid in the past 2 years for movies, netflix ,etc. enoughs enough- either fix your game- or let us know- lets us know you dont care- youre going to shut down pvp and pve- and focus on costumes, proc sets and housing. thats fine- thats your player base now- i ll move on- i ll find someone else to give my hard earned money to. someone who appreciates it and puts the money back in to the game. just let us know - really. i wouldnt even be mad- i d be relieved and happy the 'core" that zos care about- would be cared for , and we wouldnt have to keep wasting our time - hoping it s going to get better.

yes im being facetious- but ***- trying to log in and play for 6 hours, dc ing everytime u approach a keep, will do that to you

Same here. They know about the infinite loading screens & server kicks / crashes, they know about the skill lag, they know about all the issues people complain about. That infinite loading screen thread in this forum is from what 7 months ago? Now more people can experience these things as they hop on to Cyrodiil for the event.

Right there with you this is bull$&@t

The one saving grace if you aren't tied to a guild is that you can just move to Shor or something. Surprisingly that's working pretty good on PC/NA at least from 11:00pm-3:00 am edt. Haven't had a chance to check out prime time lag in there yet.

Vivec I fully expect to be completely unplayable at all times of the day. That's the fate of pvp for this game... which is a real shame because the pvp is actually really fun when it works.

Agobi · July 2018

Why should they fix anything........(other) People are still subbing and buying cashcrates by the boatload...... moar cash for them with little effort

AMeanOne · July 2018

The crashes are getting ridiculous. And every time I crash it takes 4-6 load attempts to even log back in and I'm kicked out of campaign and have to re queue. Great job zos

Nermy · July 2018

We had a great time last night, went to Kastav and had a brilliant raid.

The queues to Vivec [EU] were 250+ but we got straight into Kastav, was very little lag and lots of PvErs to kill... Muwhahahahaa

Qbiken · July 2018

My midyear mayhem experience so far:
8/10 PvE players running around with either sload, durok´s bane or earthgore and having 35k+ HP........

Great experience.......

Wait - what? My healer is still only getting credit for killing blows on players and I assumed that was by design. Oy what a mess.

Stridig · July 2018

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I crashed 1 time in 5 hours last night. My fps dropped below 40 two or three times but the game ran as good as any other night. It's a bummer that so many people are having a bad experience.

Irylia · July 2018

Had fun

I also only had one crash (in a poplocked camp) but lots of lag--stuck it out for 2-3 hours in there.

After logging into a campaign that was at 3 bars across the board, I had no real issues and the game actually played smoother than usual. 100ish ping, high framerate, etc.

Mister_DMC · July 2018

No crashes, ps4 na. 400 que for vivec and never got in after 4 hours of waiting. Had an awesome time in Sotha sil and BG's instead. Lag was minimal and game ran well. Thanks Zos, having fun so far.

POps75p · July 2018

trying to play today was nothing but pain in MYM, now I know why I hate PVP

Midyear Mayhem in a nutshell:

"Let's go kick some butt!"

turns corner

"Oh my god, there's hundreds of them! RUN!!"

Lylith · July 2018

off to another good start. queue up, get into vivec, start feeling the lag just mounting up, head for the fight, get close, and realize everything around you is frozen in place.

wait for disconnect.

d/c

relog, hit 'play.'

followed by:

off to a flying start first thing this morning.

really gets me in the mood, i tell you what.

eta: as an added plus, the second time i relogged, i'm kicked out of cyrodil and given the opportunity to re queue for vivec.

batting 1000 today, zenimax. really feeling the love.

Ragebull · July 2018

My experience so far has b..... *crashes*

AlienatedGoat · July 2018

It's called Mayhem for a reason.

IIRC, it was not hotfixed. That achievement only counting killing blows on players is working as intended.

The achievement that did get hotfixed last year was the Battlegrounds one, in order for the BG win to count for Star made Knight, which might account for the confusion.
