Crashes

Bosov · August 2019

It will be fixed when the game comes out of beta and will have its official release in 2021.

Like I said earlier (but the comment was removed):
Try turning off your trickster machine

Yasha · August 2019

Mount bug unresolved for years
Animation cancelling becomes "a feature not a bug"
Worst lag in any mmo I have played
....
And now can't even keep the server up for 10 mins

Feeling like its time to cancel my sub and go back to GW2, its only the awesome folks I have met in game that have stopped me from leaving this mess long ago.

It’s more like alpha at the moment.

Rowjoh · August 2019

THIS IS A FREAKIN' MAJOR ISSUE.

@ZOS_MattFiror addressed Cyrodiil performance issues back in 2016 and said they would continue working on the problem until was resolved. So they've already been hard at work for 3 years solving this issue.

My "favorite" bits from that - January 2016, it's now mid August 2019 3 1/2 YEARS after the fact and they just now implemented the "Looking for Guild System" this year and the LFG tool is still a completely broken feature. Apparenly v2.0 of it as well. Unbelievable.

@ZOS_MattFiror

Work on a Looking for Guild system, as well as updates and fixes to make it easier manage player guilds.
Looking for Group version 2.0, which will go live with the Thieves Guild update. This will fix some longstanding problems with our LFG system and allow players to create groups faster and more efficiently.

ZOS, seriously *what the eff are you doing* ? 3+ years later things should be smooth as butter running like a finely oiled machine not only for your game income but especially the player experience. Feels like the exact opposite for players and of course the monetization system never has issues, it's why your player base is constantly nagging about the "clown store" and having extremely sub-par communication. It's embarrassing and the company looks like it is HIGHLY mismanaged and unfocused, especially when you all and the community both know it can be so much better. The negative things going on internally are now showing very blatantly externally, and it feels like all of it could have been prevented.

Focus priorities LESS on scheduled events for publicity and MORE on functionality! While advertising your product is important, it certainly should be a polished one on more than just the surface.

I don't want to give up on something I truly enjoy and especially lose out on the great community (including the ones who work at ZOS, they are amazing people). I'm torn. Please change. Please.

A new motto: Be proactive NOT reactive.

Some things never change.

Glad I stopped playing.

As long as the Crown Store hasn't stopped working properly. That would be the true disaster.

Observing the patterns of the company and being a long-term supporter of Bethesda products, one starts to see that the game's depth is lost to the companies monetization systems when they have such a gem with ESO that is losing it's polish and luster because of them. When you're a new player, you don't see all this and everything seems incredibly great and wonderful, but that is gradually lost and overtaken by seeing what this game is about the more you play it. I hate to bring it up, but let's think a moment the reasons why WoW was so successful for so many years, think about what the developer priorities were back then: the player experience. Fast forward to 2019 and the undeniable mess of loot boxes and microtransactions have completely ruined or severely impacted the quality of games new and old, but that's where the problem stops for the company because the success of the money still funnels in, even more so. The quality isn't there anymore. Therein lies the exact problem. How can something succeed longterm this way? Nowadays, priorities are on shallow and expungeable products that can be quickly monetized upon and easily replaced if need be by the next hyped up corporate product train. One fails, a new one is implemented in it's place, and so on.

Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

Let's also not forget the reason why they are able to make money from this and other games which in turn allows employees to have a successful career, HINT: It's us, the players. Lose that and what's left? We are literally the foundation you have built your empire on, shouldn't it be a solid one? Money may always be the motivator, but the player should always be the focus. I don't think I have to remind any gaming company out there in 2019 that the entire industry is on very shaky ground right now, it's a bad time to forget to take care of the most important aspects. The sad part is the most severe impact is going to be on new players, which should always come into a game welcomed with a positive experience, not the opposite.

Speaking towards the entirety of Bethesda/ZOS as a whole, we the player in your communities are literally spending countless hours and days pleading with you and asking for resolution and actual positive outcomes with little to nothing in response and return. Players should be your #1 valued investment, it sure doesn't feel that way anymore and that's definitely not something that should be ignored.

Wolfpaw · August 2019

This is the players fault as much as ZOS.

Stop Sub, CS shopping, buying xpacs, & buying crowns w/in-game gold.

I get your point, but is it really the players fault though when the game is intentionally designed to be "handicapped" unless you pay money whether it be for cosmetics or a feature? Every player has their wants and needs, the company designs monetization features to cater to as many of those areas possible whether they are technically needed or not. It's blatant monetization on a psychological level, and for some it's next to impossible to overcome. Stop for a moment, theoretically speaking, what would ESO be like if everything was in-game earnable without any monetization system to a player? it would still be the exact same game, players would just earn things instead of paying for them. I'm not saying they should or would do this because a product has to make money, but think about it from that perspective. It's quite easy to see the problem isn't on the players, but the way the game is intentionally designed to drive monetization.

I'm all for supporting a game you invest time & enjoy. But empty promises on performance for years...years...& years the line should be drawn by the consumer, otherwise you're just giving zos a pass.

It's a sad joke all the players who bought Elsweyr, continue to financially support zos, & continue to complain about worsening performance...what?! madness.

Once "fixes" are implemented tell your friends, & pull out that credit card to show your support!

Don't worry, we finally open the keep, and at the moment we decide to push in, guess what ?

Veles · August 2019

omg, hope crown store works ok...

GandalfTheGuardian · August 2019

Three days now... not a word of ZOS

ATomiX69 · August 2019

As long as crown store works and ESO+ subs keep flying in, there wont be too much hassle on ZOS' side of things.

Look mate, they said they would become better at communicating, maybe 7 or 8 months ago... Give them time. They'll get to it eventually. Maybe around 2022 or something.

LeglessUK · August 2019

Don't worry, i'm sure they're aware of the problem and looking into it, stay tuned, in a few weeks you might here more about a possible fix

Daviiid_ESO · August 2019

It'll be fixed Q1 2020 (subject to delays)

xxthir13enxx · August 2019

Did you try DodgeRolling the disconnect?

Bergzorn · August 2019

Players crashing left and right (myself two times within a few minutes) on a weekday afternoon with barely five bars of population on the whole server. Bahlokdaan PC/EU.

No need for insults, this speaks for itself.

But that goat gif is awesome!

I thought we all agreed that Structured Entropy was the fix to all things this patch

ZOS_GinaBruno · August 2019

Hi everyone, the crash you all have been experiencing is likely one that started with the most recent incremental patch. The good news is we already have a fix in testing, but the bad news is it's not something we're able to hotfix; it will be published with the next incremental patch on Monday.

Seems to me their business plan was actually making players leave and having new players take their place. At least the scaling seems to support that anyway. They didn't count on that so many of us would stick around to be thanked for our patience...

Bergzorn · August 2019

I just crashed 'afk' while checking stuff on Ebay. My best so far.
