Long load times, lost guilds

holmes.lab16_ESO · April 2014

Had an excessive load time. Restarted game and got in, however all 5 of my guilds were gone as well as my friends list.

I had to log out so no idea if anything else was affected.

Seravi · April 2014

Having the same issue with load times. Just like last night just sits on the loading screen and that is that.

Sutna · April 2014

I had the same issue, but I stayed on my characters and after about 10 minutes my guilds returned. The other weird thing was all my add ons had been reset to default states.

I am recalling something from a few weeks ago where someone at Zenimax explained that when the overflow servers were used that guild and friends lists would not be available because you were not on a common server anymore.

Maybe this is what you are experiencing?

Melko · April 2014

Same here. Thought last nights shutdown was supposed to fix the lag and load screens.

Bazko · April 2014

Yeah.... I have no guilds anymore...... freaking awesome logging on to talk to people and i can't even whisper people, i thought the social issues and guild issues were fixed last night....... Guess not

Invisioblack · April 2014

the overflow servers have no chat... maybe you hit one of those?

Kevinmon · April 2014

Same issue here.

The server is lagging so badly right now, that's why your guild and friends lists aren't showing up.

Neutronium_Dragon · April 2014

Are you on the overflow server? Guilds/Cyrodiil/etc are unavailable there.

Optimos · April 2014

Also same issue with guilds, contacts, addons reset, and also mail missing. Do we need to email support or will it resolve on it's own?

Bazko · April 2014

How do you know what server you're on?

holmes.lab16_ESO · April 2014

Could be it. It would be nice if they did a general message when you get bumped to overflow server "you are on overflow, etc etc" so that people don't panic. Unfortunately I can't log in again for a few hours to see. Maybe they'll fix things by then ...

Sakiri · April 2014

Overflow was supposed to be optional. Play on this or wait in queue. Id rather wait in queue than be put in overflow.

Melko · April 2014

You do receive a message before being redirected to an overflow server asking if you'd like to wait on queue or go overflow. So no, we're not in an overflow server, it's an excruciating lag.

caethua · April 2014

same issue here

Casdha · April 2014

No guild for me either as well as friends list.

My guilds are gone. It definitely didn't tell me or ask about being put on overflow.

Evening everyone. Just to let you know our team is looking into it. More update as they arrive.

Thank you for letting us know.

Jason76 · April 2014

Lost all guilds, Friends list, and the Alliance war tab is toast. This is a serious issue.

About BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP time someone responded.

I thought you were all dead or taking to coldharbour

Harkrider · April 2014

Friend/Ignore & Guilds will appear after a few minutes.

Chat is laggy due to server stress.

That about sums it up. No reason to worry.

This response honestly took way longer to get to us than it should have.

redwoodtreesprite · April 2014

Well one good thing about overflow. The botters don't seem to be there, at least when you first get put in it.

ambrynn_ESO · April 2014

All of my guilds are gone, too.

Jasirus · April 2014

Same issues. Died, relogged and lost all Guilds, friends and ignores.

This. I can deal with pretty much anything when it comes to issues, but the attitude from ZoS , lack of communication (or last night's 5 minute server shutdown 'warning' which they might as well not have bothered with) is what's really starting to aggravate me. We have all paid good money for this game and, ZoS would hope, will continue to do so into the months ahead. But bad faith and lack of communication are by far the hardest things for a developer to put behind them, because it undermines trust - trust in the product and trust in the people (just ask Bioware).

ZoS - talk to us when you START looking into an issue, not after several hours of screaming on the forums. These are the first few weeks of launch and will absolutely define your next couple of years success.

Let's throw severe chat lag into the mix. :disagree:
