    It's good to see them watching for potential performance issues during the event but could I clarify if they are only taking note of issues from this point forward or are they taking into account the many, many threads about poor performance thus far?

    we will all be watching for any issues caused by an already large population playing ESO getting even larger.

    Watching for what exactly? The game performance is at an all time low. Are you watching for it to get even worse?

    They're doing the best they can under the conditions. Can't really expect more.

    Can expect a more well thought out comment addressing the current performance rather than just say they are "watching."

    I have to admit that I also do enjoy watching a big pile of garbage burn. The flames are quite mesmerizing. It's hard to blame the devs for not being able to look away.

    How can we wash our paws without an emote to do so yes?

    Presently the only option this one has is to throw her whole self into the nearest river or ocean.

    Yes she knows there is the feline hygine emote but the idea is to wash away the knahaten flu rather than eat it!

    Washy, washy hands emote and bathroom paper small furnishing would be appreciated when you get the chance after everything else. A litle reminder of these unusual times.

    Oh and the boat to Greymoor being late does not matter and this one expected it. More time to pack and knit warm hats.

    Stay indoors, wash your paws and hug your precious bathroom paper close.

    Yours with paws

    Surprisingly, it is not at an all time low. I can remember an Anniversary event where you could not even land in Auridon, and if you did manage to achieve that feat, you basically wished you hadn't. As I recall, it was not uncommon for people who logged out in Auridon to be unable to even load into the game.

    Cool. Looking forward to seeing this update in action on PTS on the 20th, then.

    They can delay Greymoor even more for all I care. I want them to finally fix the performance problems which have been present for weeks! What good is new content if it's barely playable?

    Hope everyone stays safe and thank you for the update, ZOS!

    Just one quick question: Is the release definitely delayed by one week now on live or is there still a chance to get it released for PC on 18th May? Just asking, because otherwise I would change my holidays. 😃

    I know; right? Whats concerning is they have gone from generic communication to seemingly ignoring the elephant in the room.

    @Chufu on twitter they said that it is AT LEAST one week delayed on both PC and console for live. So yes one week is confirmed and it may end up more than that, though for now the one week later schedule is holding.

    [W]e will all be watching for any issues caused by an already large population playing ESO getting even larger.

    In case these little issues evaded your limitless attention:
    • Dancing Kagoutis in vHoF - you can tell how bad your instance is going to be based on the Kagoutis' dance routine. You should seriously consider putting them on ice skates and sending them to the winter olympics next year. With all the practice they're getting in the garbage EU instances, they'll bag the gold medal in figure skating without breaking a sweat;
    • The random block generator - nothing feels better than having your channel interrupted by block, as it should it be, and still getting stomped by the one and only AG in vHoF;
    • St. Olms going on a *** break mid flight - y'know how well your vAS instance will go depending on how long for Olmsie stops mid air for a ciggie break;
    • St. Olms multi-tasking - what's better than a mid-jump storm of heavens? A mid-jump storm of heavens with a breath;
    • No fire in vAS execute - leave your purge at the door;
    • Gryphons inside vCR portals - not much of a problem, they're just spectating;
    • Jump pads in vCR portals not working - better bring your mountain climbing gear if you're planning to get on that balcony;
    • Not being able to bash/interrupt Z'Maja in portals - I guess the fat slug is prepping for Greymoor and now stays in mist form 24/7;
    • No tombs in vSS - why bother healing tombs if they don't spawn to begin with.

    I can keep going on and on describing the type of garbage we have to deal with on PC EU because of your pepe infrastructure.

    How is a "we will be watching for any issues" an acknowledgement again? In fact its actually the opposite. They are watching if any happen in the future aka they are not Talking About the current mountain of issues.
    Politeness is respecting others.
    Courage is doing what is fair.
    Modesty is speaking of oneself without vanity.
    Self control is keeping calm even when anger rises.
    Sincerity is expressing oneself without concealing ones thoughts.
    Honor is keeping ones word.

    Saying "we will all be watching for any issues caused by an already large population playing ESO getting even larger" is really not that far off from not saying anything.

    A weeks delay isn't much at all, and more than acceptable considering how the world is right now. However can we please get an update on when greymoor will be available on ps4? It's now April and there's still been no information on what's going on, unless I completely missed something.
