Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

horrendous load times

  • theshark666
    special note to zenimax/bethesda i think all us with lag and lost game time issues due to poor connection on your end should keep track and back bill you for lost game play time hows that sound..... 10 plus minutes to enter a dungeon and another 10 to get out not even going to get into lag switching toons to shift mats around because you bank space being shared forces constent shifting of mats so lost time there also

    Kinda mean to say they aren't trying to fix it. I'm sure they are. Wait...did I just defend ZOS? I think I need another hot coacoa. Maybe I'll make dinner while I'm at it and the game will finally load :3

    Why do you guys keep investigating? every issue you just investigate but never solve the problem. Maybe hire someone with an IT degree to take care of the servers and someone with a software engineering degree to fix the bugs. Oh and get a hotel motel management degree holder to reply to emails. If you want to run a company you need to hire people with the proper skills.

    My god, he's found the answer! Hire professionals! That's genius!

    Zenimax, what WERE you thinking hiring janitors and short-order cooks? Silly development studio.

    I hereby nominate the quote above for dumbest post of the day.

    I would nominate yours, but they don't have an award for one as bad as yours.

    10 minutes to log in - & greeted by message 'servers coming down in 1 minute'.

    Might as well use the time to make sure my account is canceled now so I don't have to worry about going past the free 30.

    As noted with the in-game messaging, we are bringing down the NA megaserver in order to address these issues.

    Said the guy with this gem:
    We as in Ernie, the part-time weekend guy on an internship from New England Institute of Technology. He graduated on the 18 month program and finished up in January.

    Pure gold there.

    It's a new MMO and a major release, what do you expect? I'm the last guy who runs around white-knighting, but the handful of major games like this one released ever on this scale have all had horrific launch stability, including ones not even from the MMO genre like Battlefield 4, SimCity, etc. to mention some more recent ones.
    -First-Wave Closed Beta Tester of the Psijic Order, aka the 0.016 percent.
    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    -Playing since July 2013, back when we had a killspam channel in Cyrodiil and the lands of Tamriel were roamed by dinosaurs.

    Those games are/were considered failures. If you are saying that ESO is a failure too then I agree with you.

    not true...alot of games have had pretty good launch stability..this one is an average launch......games like SWTOR and WoW both had much worse launch stability....all of u people that say that this game has the worse launch....well all of u have no idea what people went thru during the SWTOR and WoW launch..i cant speak for the WoW launch but the SWTOR launch...well Bioware sued another company for releasing it too early......not to mention it was hardly playable AND major unbalenced classes.....so uhh yeah........this game had a pretty damn good launch u people who say it was the worse just need ot suck it up and research SWTOR and WoW Launch Bugs.........Good Day!

    Just DO WHAT I DID!! Go make yourself a sammich, have a coke and a smile and be patient. Obviously the servers are getting hammered due to the 40508509840984 people in game right now (which is a good thing) minus the lag.

    Maybe we need 2 megasevers

    It's horrible for the NA server, it's unplayable. So I mad new characters on the EU server and have no problems there.

    I didn't say it was the worst. I said it is a typical MMO in terms of launch stability, which is historically very poor.
