The Only Thing That Will Make me Quit ESO

DenMoria · April 2019

OP

I'm guessing you're new?

"Performance Issues" would make you quit?

ESO is all about "Performance Issues".

It always has been.

At this point "Performance Issues" are a feature, not an issue.

Frankly, if ya ain't quit by now, ya ain't quittin' any time soon.

Name 3 very high budget , long in development MMORPG games You had similar amount of performance issues like with ESO.

GW1&2, Tera, BDO, CoH, CoV, DCUO, Champions, Rift, SWTOR, SWG, SWL.

Do you want more, lol?

Maybe 1 of them comes close to the budget and development cycle of ESO and it actually had less performance issues then ESO. So yeah @ShadowHvo I want more because for now Your score is zero.

Don't worry they keep saying they're "aware of it" and "fixing" performance issues "soon". Even during the promo for Elsweyr during the dev Twitch stream Rich Lambert said they will "fix" it "soon". And I'm reading now that people on EU has even worse performance than before. I believe they will keep adding more and more content like Elsweyr (which introduces new bugs & "features") and items in the crown store before actually "fixing" the performance problems. Why? Because introducing new content like DLCs- dungeons & new zones, and items in the crown store will give them more money. However a "performance fix patch" will be a free quality of life improvement.

And to everyone else saying go ahead whiners, quit because what's 15$? Don't you think we ALL deserve a working game with a working queue finder and a good gameplay experience? They surely make enough money through gambling crates, subscriptions, cosmetics & DLCs / expansions? I've heard of plenty of people complaining about this game's performance problems and experienced it myself. I'm not surprised even some of the new players and "wow refugees" are complaining on Reddit and on guild discords about the same thing. The sad part is, us veteran players know this slew of performance problems and bugs is a feature.

I just quit when I get bored with it.
Never have I once quit because of anything other.

Always come back eventually.
Love it.

Sylvermynx · April 2019

I don't personally have "performance" issues - which is pretty amazing since my only connect is satellite. So.... yeah. Not on board here.

The game works fine for me. Even on a totally substandard connection. PC/NA.

Here we go. Never had any performance (lag) issues with following:

DDO
EQII
Age of Conan
Aion
Rift
SWTOR
Never winter
Guild wars 2
Wow cataclysm
Wow legion
Wow BFA
Fallout76
Tera
Vermintide 2
Warframe
Poe
Diablo 3
Over watch
Dark souls 3

I’ve reached end game and max level characters on every game above that has a max level. I’ve pvped in every game extensively. No game I’ve ever played listed above has ever reached the levels of crippling lag that is prevalent in eso. Sure, these games have had other performance problems (e.g., horrible launches, crashes, cheats, etc) but the OP is talking specifically about lag. I never had any server side lag like eso does. Zos is an embarrassment on how they deal with their performance issues. In today’s day and age there is no excuse.

It’s especially frustrating because out of all the mmorpgs listed above, eso has the best combat system. Yet money grubbing pve crown crate greedy zos cant be bothered with fixing the best part of their game.

And your ridiculous argument is just a testimony that your ok with giving them a free pass. You obviously don’t pvp or you wouldn’t have made it.

Illuvatarr · April 2019

The performance or lack thereof in other games isn’t my concern as a paying customer. I understand bugs here and there and I understand lag due to population issues....assuming the game was being run on the best hardware available. That isn’t the case.

Daedric Clowns would make me quit

I am not going to be able to sleep for a week!

Thanks for that.

On the plus side, at least I'll get more ESO in. Now I'll have the time to sit through the load screens.

EllieBlue · April 2019

1 thing that will make me stop playing ESO - can't open the bank, guild bank and guild store - basic functions in the game. And I have been experiencing these errors 80% of the time I have been logged in this week.

As a leader of a large trading guild, I find these problems very aggravating and seriously problematic. After 5 years of playing and eso+ sub throughout, the only thing that is keeping me in this game is my trading guild. If I can't even play this part of the game, then there is nothing left in it for me. Along with my new timezone (AU) and other more pressing real life commitments, my play time is now very limited. The 60 minutes I am online, I would like to be able to craft and list things I am selling in my guild store and manage my guild. I don't have the luxury of 6-12 hours of just waiting for the bank to work. Due to my timezone, I am usually online around 1- 4 am EU time so it is not even peak hours for the EU server.

I am usually one of those people that would pre-order every DLC and every chapter in the first week the pre-order comes out. But this time around, not only have I, not pre-order Elseweyr, but I am also not sure if I will, at all. I hope the new hardware they are working on right now will work out and they can at least run the basic functions in the game.

So, if I had 3 lags in Battlefield 4 during last year, then I can't put Battlefield here, right?
Speaking of MMORPGs:
Allods Online, my first long time MMORPG, 2 years. 12x12 and 6x6 battlegrounds, I had lags sometimes when I used my 3G phone as a WiFi router. And it's a damn free2play game.
WOW. I've been playing it for 6 months, and I don't recall any lag or skills irresponsibility during this time.

I mean, I see it every day when I play other multiplayer games. Yes, there are lags from time to time, disconnects and so on, but it doesn't happen that often as it does in ESO. This game definitely has a poor server performance compared to other games with decent servers.

evoniee · April 2019

welp, i currently on a break for one month already.

because of eu server, shade bug, and game balance that i think really stale.
everybody either use HA, bleed, templar, nb 1hit desync gank, 1h+s, reverb bash.

the fact more tanky build can kill any build while standard build / full gank bukld cant kill more tanky build is really frustating.

Angi · April 2019

At least pvpers from PC EU server (cause i dont know if perfomance is so BAD also in other platforms) should focus on THIS as a mandatory subject instead "faction lock" or "nerff this, buff that".

I dont have words to destribe how BAD and FRUSTRATING is play on pvp ONLY cause the delay. I dont want buffs for my class or nerfs for others, i dont want necromancer or new pvp content, no ,because before any of that we should get a decent perfomance ,what is something we dont have, how do you want build the house starting from the roof? cause ask for new content or nerfs/buffs with this BAD level of perfomance is silly, so i hope this thread or others dont get forgotten because in my opinion, this is a real task that must be fixed, for me nothing would have more priority, is not just a bunch of players complainin for no reasons, this is actually a real problem.

LadySinflower · April 2019

Adding my voice here. In the latest example, I was in a world boss fight and the WB was at about 20% health. My toon was killed and when I revived it, neither weapon would work. This toon runs double destruction staff. Suddenly neither staff was visible and I could not heavy attack. Light attacks continued, however, when I pressed instead of held the trigger. The group finished off the boss but it was very frustrating to have my weapons suddenly stop working. I'm on console. I don't know why this happened but it was annoying. Stuff like this happens every day, sometimes more than once.

That’s a fair comment but never to this level. It’s fairly crazy just how many abilities are broken and how badly performance gets when the game is being played like it is supposed to be played.

This wasn’t even in prime time and it was on Sotha Sil, not Vivek.

Actually, that;s not a fair comment because it implies that other games are just as bad as eso when it comes to performance, it completely neglects the fact that even though other games sometimes have performance problems, eso is one of the worst.

So, no it's not a fair comment it's a comment that ignores the reality of the situation.

Emma_Overload · April 2019

The ward bug is game breaking, but I have yet to see ZOS acknowledge it.

Yea the performance issues suck but when I take my rose tinted glasses off, we used to lag like hell in Daoc too during big battles/sieges years ago. I honestly don't think this issue will ever be completely fixed when so many players, abilities, and explosions are taking place in one zone. I'll be hitting harness magica repeatedly and it wont fire off and I'll initially get ticked off but then I realize most everyone else is hammering their abilities without luck too. Makes me feel a little better at least and just go it is what it is..

Oh, I remember the DAOC lag days. I thought about that game today as I spammed my dawnbreaker in Sotha Sil, to no effect, and died.

olsborg · April 2019

The shields not working isnt only due to performance of the client. Its a bug where your shields wont cast for 2-3 seconds unless you dodgeroll and they somehow work again.

Performance issues are definitely my only true gripe with this game. It sucks that I can't play after 7pm because Cyrodiil is so laggy that you have to mash buttons, and it takes 2 seconds to successfully bar swap.
I was embarrassed to recommend ESO to a friend and he stopped playing a couple of weeks after he hit 160cp because the lag was so terrible in PvP. I'll never do it again until performance is stable.
I complain about it a lot because I do enjoy this game, when it works. I just want it to work more often than not.

I had the same experience telling people about eso. 16 of us came over from another game a year ago. Now only 4 of us log on regularly.

I have done quite a bit of complaining lately, but I do love this game and want it to do well. The performance issues in pvp make it very difficult to recommend, though.

Mathius_Mordred · April 2019

Are these performance issues mainly in Cyrodill? I've spent 14 hours online today and run every daily and many dungeons with groups of up to 16 folks with no issues from any of them (they were on Discord) even though they were spread all over the EU. The only minor gripe has been occasionally having to spam F a couple of times to join a Dungeon Finder event and sometimes frame rates dropping from 60 to as low as 25 fps but that usually clears after a few seconds.
I'm thinking from the posts above it's mainly a pvp issue, my son plays only pvp and he does sometimes complain about the performance.

visionality · April 2019

@Illuvatarr I can only agree with your post. If I go PVPing and wipe against a better player or against overwhelming numbers, I'm not happy but its ok because its fair and part of the game. But if I die because the server just decides to not respond to any input anymore, its terribly frustrating. I also have the feeling that magicka classes are hit worse by it than stamina classes. Possibly a consequence of the fact that ZOS didnt 'unprogram' the casttime for shields but just set the casttime to zero? I main a magsorc in PVP and whenever I switch to my stamblade I'm surprised how much more fluently skills work on it. (That is not to say they work perfectly well - there is still lag - but there is a much higher reliability that a skill will activate if I press the button)
