    ZoS is going to let something this bad go unfixed for a week? Seriously? It's not that ZoS can't, it's that ZoS wont. Period. I have never seen another company let crashes like this go unfixed because they have to wait for the scheduled patch. They FIX IT!!! This is quite possibly one of the worst things I've seen a gaming company not address.

    Rofl did you not read the "testing" part? It's called testing for a reason instead of Programmer Mikey "Hey I think I've got a fix let's just roll it out to 10 million players without testing, I mean hey boss what could go wrong?"

    lol you realize they could have tested it before rolling out the patch in the first place?
    plz just stop defending this absolute [snip]

    Exactly.

    If ZoS testing was fit for purpose we wouldn't be here in this situation in the first place.

    This came from @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    Hello everyone,

    Tomorrow, we are planning maintenance on PC NA and EU in order to publish the next incremental patch early. This will include fixes for the recent crashes many have been experiencing this week, in addition to implementing additional safeguards for the guild trader and multi-bidding issues that occurred last Sunday. There will also be a number of additional fixes for combat, dungeons, and multi-crafting that will be outlined in the patch notes; these will be published tomorrow morning during maintenance.

    Regarding the excess gold some guilds on PC EU received last weekend after the multi-bidding issue, we'll have an update for everyone on this tomorrow.

    At this time, we're planning maintenance to be finished by 8am EDT. We appreciate everyone's patience.

    How Pathetic. Players have to put up with the crashes until Monday instead of ZOS doing an incremental patch now. That's disgusting support. They have a major problem caused by their recent update and it should be fixed immediately. This is what you get when a company continues to put out new content that causes more problems instead of putting on the breaks and fixing all the performance issues and bugs they have created.

    Necro players have to live with this since the class turned up on the PTS the very first time. The whole corpse mechanic barely works if there is more than 1 necro in the group. Syphon wont cast because the corpses block eachother and more bugs related to it.

    ZoS is a joke. I am really wondering why not more necro players flood the forums about that snip already. That ontop of the crashes, lags and other annoying bugs the game has, and more as of late. But zos keeps throwing things on the clown store. They want to get payed for the sloppy work they do and not even bother to fix any of it.

    That is what is really disgusting here.

    And what´s worse. So many people still give them money. Or defending their snip. Selling people a faulty product and people thank them for it.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_BrianWheeler - if you cant fix the crashing with a hotfix, isnt it worth bringing down the servers for a couple hours to do a proper patch on this game breaking issue? PVP is currently unplayable

    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.
    Will Xbox get these fixes before we get the dlc?

    We wanted to give you another update. As mentioned earlier this morning, we are testing a fix for the game crash that many of you are currently experiencing. If the fix passes testing, we are looking to move up the incremental patch to this weekend. We want to get this fixed as soon as possible, and are doing everything in our power to expedite the process. We'll keep you updated as we have more info. Thanks again for your patience.


    Well apparently the fix did not pass testing. I looked at the patch notes and saw nothing that mentioned they fixed the constant crash problem in Cyrodiil. Every update more problems. Every update problems that cannot be fixed. Seems to be the norm now with ZOS.

    Did see this in the patch notes however under
    General

    Fixed an issue where combat involving more than one pet could cause a crash for all players in a region. But that was not under the Alliance War PvP section of the patch notes.

    ....this is why I requested that the server be shut down and patched immediately, not wait til Monday.

    ....and this is why PvP and PvE servers should be physically separated.

    Separate balancing of pve/pvp isnt going to prevent spaghetti code crashes, it's going to cause more. Why would they shut down the servers though? That's just dumb. I crashed at Alessia 3 times in 5 minutes so I decided on pve while I queue for BGs instead. The server shut down prevents me from enjoying 100% of the game vs the 25% I can't enjoy now.

    There is no mention of any crash fixes in the beginning of the patch notes. In other words the constant crashing in Cyrodiil was not fixed. And I doubt it will be fixed on Monday either.

    It's literally the first line.

    Well if you went to PvP since this patch today, the Cyrodiil crash problem was not fixed. Folks are still crashing.
