Wow. That's like (press 1) (make coffee) (click LMB) (drink coffee) (press 2) (check news headlines) (press LMB) ... oops, my hour is up, time to go to work.

I laughed pretty hard at that, so I'm assuming that was just a well placed joke.
every joke has a piece of truth. group finder didnt work for me on pc eu this evening. what can you say about it?
@oxygen_thief
I'd say for one, I don't play on EU, but I've heard the connection for it is just generally worse than NA. And two, saying group finder just didn't work is a broad statement. Are you a DPS or Healer? Because if so, you're far less likely to get a group if you aren't a tank role. This is easy to see why, as most players are DPS, less so are Healers, and even less so are Tanks.
its impossible to do dungeon/bg even with a premade group due to "someone declined the invite" bug

It settles at 125 almost all day. But as I said, when I have connection issues usually my internet is to blame. I often get switched to wifi out of nowhere, and even have my internet just stop for a small time. The worst I've seen it get without my internet being bad, is 150ish, but even when it reaches that point, I only have longer loading screens, not issues in combat or anything.
While this can very true, the question is why does it affect this particular game so widely?lordrichter wrote: »There are a lot of reasons, but most of them can be answered by "it's the internet".
I've often thought I must be playing a different game to the one everyone else is playing, for the reasons you give. It turns out you're playing the same one as me!

I was unaware that it's a bug. (Though it sounds like a fishy one.) I never thought of it since I've had to decline many times due to inconvenience. So I suppose that one I can relate to, but its a few and far issue for me.

I can confirm 120 range is as good as it gets for me and that honestly works fine. I notice issues when my ping hits 300+, so if youre max ping is reaching 150 then you are one lucky duck. Just out of curiousity what is your internet speed and type?While this can very true, the question is why does it affect this particular game so widely?lordrichter wrote: »There are a lot of reasons, but most of them can be answered by "it's the internet".

This would be the only discussion where someone ***someone*** hasn't yelled out:
Platform?
Server?
Location?
Also please add your processor/MB combo; OS; and RAM capacity. Just for the sake of completeness.
On roleplay forums what you do is called "bad wrong fun"I've often thought I must be playing a different game to the one everyone else is playing, for the reasons you give. It turns out you're playing the same one as me!

Great for you! Is this a humble brag?
If you’re ever wondering what people are talking about, check out the patch notes, specifically the “bug fixes.” Also, take a look at the hotfixes. These are posts specifically about bugs that have been fixed
If you went back to day one, you’d read about 100’s, if not 1000’s of bugs. And these are just the ones that have been fixed.
If you want to know why people feel the need to come to these forums to complain about every single bug, that’s a different topic

@Hamrb
It's not a humble brag. It's a genuine question, sparked by the ridiculous amount of complaints I see on normal discussions, and lack of issues I personally experience in the game. And I'm not the only one who feels this way, seeing how at least a few others who have made comments on this thread know exactly how I feel.

Congratulations. This means you're one of the rare player without any bugs. Everyone, really, everyone i know is experiencing the same issues/bugs:
- in-combat all the time
- 2x-3x cc in a row despite immunity
- 3-5 seconds delay and lag on cyrodiil at primetime
- micro-lags in raids
- "positioning" is not reconized correctly (staying out of damage-fields but still getting stunned/damaged)
- mechanics not showing up at raids
- light-attacks feeling clunky a lot of times and aren't recognized correctly
- stuck in heavy-attack with destro-statt
- long loading screens in cyrodiil
- death-recap doesn't capture dmg correctly
...
All those bugs aren't related to used addons, hardware or internet connection.
So.. yeah, it seems like you're a lucky player
You've touched on every content? How seriously do you take the game, though? I saw a post, recently, of someone who played that many hours, but who couldn't solo world bosses, because he played a nonsensical build. If you've played BGs, Cyrodiil, and trials, then that's not you. Still, if you don't play the hardest content, then you've never been under the type of pressure where the bugs become aggravating - or even noticeable.Greg11jkalfa wrote: »Before people grab their pitchforks and torches, at least read why I ask.I see a lot of players saying that ESO is a bug infested, and laggy mess.

Sprint bug, lag out and have your bow suddenly on your dw bar and vice versa (visual bug), long load screens on good computers, bar swapping issues, heavy attacks straight up doing a 'swing and a miss' along with skills at times, stuck in combat, abilities firing twice or not at all
That's off the top of my head cuz I've had all of that in the last week.
