✭✭This is getting worrying.
Zos, if you don't have the, hardware upgrade, there is a limit to how much you can optimize your server, if you just don;t have the power, buy more, if it's a software problem, then do your job better.
Because this situation is *** stupid, and there is a limit to how much people are willing to accept, either fix your ***, or there will be long term consequences, we have already seen how much the community is getting more and more disillusioned with you over the years, you better not make it worse, because if you do, as soon as a better mmo is on the market, people will leave in flocks, for example i did not play eso during legion, and if the next expansion gets better i plan to move to wow if that's the case.
I am 100 % sure that there are many others who think like me, this is just the consequence of your actions.Edited by JinMori on April 10, 2019 8:50PM11 -

Too worried about selling crown stuff rather than making the actual game better.
Come on guys, it's self evident at this point, there is no point arguing about it, there are still bugs from years ago still unfixed, the queue system is still garbage, this game still lack a difficulty mode to counter the incremental power we get with cp (something like m+ for wow), and the separation of pvp and pve which has been asked for years and years, is basically a distant dream, and so much more....
And instead of making the game better they just decided to stop cp progression for the time being, it's obvious that they are taking the path of least effort at this point, you can disagree, but what we have right now speaks for itself.Edited by JinMori on April 10, 2019 9:35PM7 -

This is highly ridiculous. They've temporarily forced the login queue to fix performance issues throughout the entire server due to how many people have started playing the game in recent time, especially on EU. People on these same forums have very obviously been pointing out these same performance issues for a while now on the EU megaserver. And suddenly, because people have to live with a temporary login queue, that somehow is worse than having an entire megaserver basically being unplayable for everyone forever, people like you are literally saying they just shouldn't even sell the game anymore because they are fixing problems to make the game better.
You guys really do just have to chill out. Stop overreacting. Just because there's a temporary login queue to play on EU doesn't mean you won't ever get to play the game again.

Me playing on NA makes no difference when they literally said it themselves that they put in a login queue while they work on fixing EU megaserver performance. And if it's all the same, I've seen and read quite a few threads on these very forums complaining about EU megaserver issues.
You, in your reply, confirmed that you have to deal with shoddy performance on EU, but are apparently unwilling to deal with a temporary login queue while they work on fixing that very problem.
If you were complaining that the login queue was annoying, but understood and accepted why it was happening, then there wouldn't be a problem. But what you are doing seems to just blatantly be complaining for the sake of complaining. There isn't any real reason to it besides perhaps wanting to gain attention, in which case, congrats, you got it.
I see no reason to complain about what is objectively a good thing overall. Quite frankly there are other games you can play and other things you can do while the login queue is active.Edited by Kambo on April 11, 2019 12:43AM

So you suggest that EU players should acknowledge the bad performance of EU servers and accept it because bad performance is ok and since it is ok there is no problem at all? In other words, bad performance is a problem because people do not accept it?
You are aware that the so-called temporary login queue might be there for years, given the fact how fast they address other performance problems?
I wonder how fast they could work if they had to face legal consequences.22 -

No, EU players should acknowledge and accept that ZOS has implemented a temp login queue while they work on fixing the EU megaserver performance issues, which overall is nothing but a benefit to EU players.
I like how you tried to spin my own words against me despite it so clearly not making any sense. I literally never said the bad performance wasn't a problem. What I am saying is that they are working on fixing it, and in order to do so they've implemented a login queue for the EU megaserver, which is a relatively small, temporary thing to deal with in order to have an overall better time playing the game.
Also, neither of us have any idea how long the process will actually take, but given that they've made a post and tweet about it and added a login queue in the first place, I imagine it's top priority at the moment.

No, EU players should acknowledge and accept that ZOS has implemented a temp login queue while they work on fixing the EU megaserver performance issues, which overall is nothing but a benefit to EU players.- ZOS did not resolve performance issues before they became critical.
- ZOS implemented a login queue to reduce (not fix) the impact of this issue.
- The login queue will negatively impact on the playing time of anyone trying to play in prime time.
- ZOS has specified that the queue is temporary. We have no idea how much time this refers to.
- More information has been promised today. A speedy fix would make such a communication pointless.
All of the above suggests to me that either:- ZOS have been trying to the fix the issues but cannot do so in a timely manner -> Lengthy impact.
- ZOS has only just started actively trying to fix the issues -> Lengthy impact.
"nothing but a benefit to EU players"? I think not.I like how you tried to spin my own words against me despite it so clearly not making any sense.

Emphases mine.
The two highlighted statements are mutually exclusive. You cannot state with any certainty that it is a "relatively small, temporary thing" without direct experience (speaking to the size of the impact) or knowing exactly when it will end (speaking to how long the process will take).12 -

It makes all the difference since you didnt have to put up with abbysmal PC EU server performance for 3 months (since i came back to play ESO) and just being ignored by ZOS and be told by likes of you that its the PLAYER'S problem and NOT the SERVER problem and we just have to suck it up because our PCs/connection/ w/e sucks and we should "improve" or do pointless tests (that btw show clear SERVER isue but you still get reply its not server issue by customer support when you send in a ticket)when they literally said it themselves that they put in a login queue while they work on fixing EU megaserver performance.

✭Why is it that every bloody MMO I play is doing their best to actively discourage people from playing their own product?
STO removes UGC content and increases the grind sending many of us over here to ESO. ESO adds day after day of maintenance preventing play and then adds a bloody login queue to also stop us playing. We had a load of people last night who just gave up and went to watch Netflix.

EU players are pissed off cause we told ZOS for months now, that PC EU has very very hard issues with performance. yet nothing changed, and now when new ppl come to the game, and the server starts to crush under the load...now they implement a queue and start working on the problem.

You'd be surprised how long an MMO takes to die, especially with microtransactions. As long as enough people keep subscribing/buying crowns, ZOS will be happy to provide the bare minimum. MMO players don't easily throw away the years'-long and often expensive investment they've put in a game. Publishers know this. In fact, they design games around this.4 -

In every possible sense you have demonstrated in your rant that you do not know what you’re talking about. As an EU player, I can tell you that we have plenty to complain about. And for the record, they told us that they’d fix the performance issue in Cyrodiil about 2 years ago, so I’m not holding out much hope that they’ll fix this issue any time soon.

WhisperLFE✭✭✭Log-in cues aren't unheard of in MMOs, I've played games that have had them before. They, in and of themselves, aren't unusual.
But I would agree, from the outside looking in, that it would be exceedingly frustrating to voice concerns about problems for 3 months and only then have the problem acknowledged via a temporary solution. Doubly so when it's suddenly implemented without much forewarning.
Whether or not it's actually the case, it certainly makes it seem like the developers largely ignored the problems/complaints during those 3 months, when it potentially could have been fixed by now if taken seriously initially.5 -
billp_ESO✭✭✭✭Don't worry, I'm sure the queues will work just fine. They probably used the fully robust group finder software to "find" a server for you.9
