    Yesterday set a new record for listing an item in guild store: 81 seconds for the server response (8ms for the request). I kid you not.
    Listing 50 items eats up almost all of my gaming time.

    Interestingly, that should have been fixed by Easter, but no further statement from ZOS for weeks.

    Yea it used to be mostly lag in cyrodil and problems with Dungeon Finder but since a couple days ago it got worse.
    Now I get crazy lag spikes everywhere, ping goes from 100 to 999+ and game freezes, even when ping shows normal game feels choppy and slugish. Trying to use ultimates, pots, swaping weapon doesn't work alot of times and you end up dead because of it.

    Still ZoS remains silent... showing no respect for EU players whatsoever.

    To celebrate the imminent Launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr, our first ESO Tavern of 2019 will occur on May 31 in Wiesbaden, Germany. Join us for a fun evening of food, drink, and conversation.

    Feel free to introduce them to the glory that is the EU server at prime time.

    Ohh so now we are not allowed to tell it how it is?
    ZoS is a liar.
    EU server is bad.
    Performance was not improved.
    ZoS does not communicate with us which makes us feel disrespected.
    ZoS is BAD! Bad at dealing with this issue which should be their priority but they are acting like everything is fine.

    Erm... Which new servers exactly? All we had was several extended maintenances and Matt Firor's statement that "work is being done" on EU and NA servers. We don't know what was done, what we know is the servers are still crap. Oh, and we were supposed to "stay tuned for details", but it's been almost 2 months since Matt Firor's pinned comment in the forums front page.

    We had login queues after performance problems, they fixed this with adding more servers so each server ran fewer instances, this would not solve other problems like the group finder.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    We had login queues after performance problems, they fixed this with adding more servers so each server ran fewer instances, this would not solve other problems like the group finder.

    ZOS turned on the login queue. It wasn't an issue that spontaneously arose:
    Everyone,

    After seeing the commentary about the queuing system being enabled on the PC EU servers yesterday, I thought I'd let everyone know what has been leading up to this, and what we are doing to alleviate the situation.

    They didn't fix it, they turned it back off. But in the mean time, they were supposed to have done work on the servers:
    So, here is what we are doing to fix the problem:
    • Short term, we are turning on our queuing system (as you saw yesterday), which will cap the maximum number of players allowed on the PC EU megaserver. You should only see the queue at peak times, when demand is higher than the hardware supports. As was posted yesterday, the estimated time to login may not be 100% accurate, but it will give you an idea of how big the line is. ALSO: if you are disconnected from the server for any reason, you should have a twenty minute grace period to log back in and "skip" the queue.
    • Longer term: we are spinning up additional hardware in both our NA and EU datacenters in order to support our growing user base. We expect the time frame for this to be about two weeks, but we will keep you posted. And yes, we are adding more capacity to PC NA as well as EU because we are rapidly approaching the same problem in NA and want to get ahead of it. We will also be looking very closely at our Console megaservers to make sure they have enough capacity.

    Given what @ZOS_MattFiror wrote, it would be sensible to expect an improvement of the situation, right? Yet after the login queue was turned back off the servers were back to the same exact situation: group finder not working, lag spikes, disconnects. I'm not even talking about bugs recently introduced, since those are not EU-specific. So tell me, what exactly are you saying was fixed?

    I don't know if you take us for entitled brats. As far as I'm concerned, my impatience and annoyance stems from the fact that I care about the game, I pay for the game, and I am told things by ZOS that do not match up to the facts. Do you seriously not think it's time they were upfront about these longstanding issues, their promises to address them, and the fact that they haven't so far? Or are we supposed to wait obediently until we are fed up and leave a game we still do enjoy, for all its shortcomings, and have invested so much time (and money) in?

    Got zerged down in Cyrodiil.
    Ressurrected and our entire group could not move for about 40s
    We could dodgeroll but would immediately slow down to about 10-20% walk speed.

    In IC there are 30s screen freezes while fighting the boss, not kewl.
    I run with no addons btw.

    Queued with friends for random dungeon... Pressed F until mind was numb. Went away for a while...

    Queued with a friend for battleground... Pressed F until finger hurt. Went away for a while...

    Asked: "what can we do as a group without group finder? Oh, Cyrodiil.... Waited for quite some time to enter due to a queue and... from 500 to 999+ ping spikes every couple of minutes.

    This was my experience across the last few days, yesterday being the worst so far (didn't try yet today). Is ESO EU server now a press F and wait in queues to reach the front just as the checkout closes simulator?

    If it's not for the addons, I would not know if my attack landed or not. Thank god there are DPS meters and combat addons, thanks to those I am able to see that I actually hit. No animation, nothing on the screen...

    Servers really are in a pathetic state, since... forever.

    and yet ZoS asks money for this game lol it should be free-to-play with just their stupid cash shop.

    No apologies, no compensation, nothing for EU players, just keep pressing the F(uck) button and give them more EUROS!!!

    Imagine if it was sub only with no cash shop - having to have an actual functional product in order to generate revenue.

    But I guess that's not how we do K I L L I N G I T business in 2019.

    Consider this next time you buy crowns.

    If you have friends, or people you know who are moving to Eso or going to buy the game I do recommend you tell them to play on the Na Server.


    Or tell them just not to bother buying the game? The only thing companies like ZoS react to is losing money, i wish every single EU player would just stop subbing, buying stuff from the crown store etc, then maybe, just maybe they would do something.

    Ok, it may hurt a little while to play without the luxury of plus, or buying that shiny new(reskin) mount, but if in the end the game gets a performance boost, it will of been worth it.

    Just saying.

    Lets hope they prioritise server performance now. Well, we got told, that they changed company-resources to work on performance, but a regular update on the current state would be nice!

    Do they want to communicate, really? Gina acknowledged ZOS' shortcomings in communicating and announced they were coming up with a plan in November IIRC. No news on that. Matt Firor stated in his April post that he would "keep us posted" and for us to "stay tuned for details". There has been no additional information for nearly two months.

    I repeat my previous question, which you have so far not answered. What exactly do you think has been fixed?

    That's true. FPS drop like crazy, everything is shaky and jerky because of it, and the lag is totally bad after the patch. Everywhere. Even inside the houses.

    Yeah Always annoying when 12 different cpus implode at the very same second and then restore themselves magically 2 seconds later to leave a whole Trial Group at the Login characters screen instead of the 2% Health hardmode yolnahkriin or Maybe it was an Internet failure in Minimum 6 different countries and 12 different cities at once, seems all very likely cant possibly be the Servers am I Right? Guess thats how ZOS sees it tho :D
