Over the years this has happened almost everytime there's a new game or upgrade to an existing game.

Chill out, relax.

This is not the first time nor the last time this will happen in a game.

I find eating a chilly dog or 2, helps big time.

and i'm almost 74

uah NO! i have never had to queue to log in. not ever. and i hv played just about every single day since release.

So a quick check on the forum Jessica posted this well over an hour ago.

"Hello everyone,

In response to the recent long loading screens and other related issues that have been occurring on the PC NA megaserver, we will be enabling a temporary login queue momentarily to limit the number of players on the server at once. Note that anyone who is currently logged in will not be kicked out.

Thanks for your patience, and we'll let you know when we have an update."

So what is temporary? My timer is going up instead of down!

They basically didn't fix the servers, they added throttle probably. That what think. So the crappy servers could handle the load. Its poor mans performance management.

and if it dunt get fixed asap, there will be no more renewal from me, and i suspect other eso plus members.

TonyRockaroni · May 2020

Yeeeeah. I'm not waiting half an hour to just play the game for five minutes. I got a schedule to keep. I'll play Greymoor when the login queue no longer exists. AND cancel my ESO Plus until then, if necessary.

When I said I wanted to go back in time to before the coronavirus was a thing, I didn't think I'd be sent all the way back to when ESO wasn't a good game.

Ashtaris · May 2020

Yep, mine said 22min, 34sec estimated queue time. Frak that, I'll go watch TV instead and wait until ZOS get's their act together, if that ever happens.

EDIT: Just tried it again after dinner. Now the estimated time is 27 mins. Considering all the problems that have happened today, I think I can honestly say this has been the worse chapter release in their history. Good job ZOS!

IrishOphidia · May 2020

I love the lack of responses from Devs when posts like this are made. It really goes to show just how committed they are to their player base and just where their interests lie. They took the servers down almost immediately as soon as they found out that people were able to travel to Skyrim that hadn't bought it because "OUR MONEY!!!," but when it comes to actually investing in a smooth and enjoyable player experience, [snip]. It's outright pathetic. I remember when Devs were more worried about providing a good product [snip]

17 minute que !!!! I'd guess I would be happy if that is all mine said. Mine is at 28 minutes!

mine says 17 minutes but its been over 30 now...

Grubbs008 · May 2020

Yup, what a joke. This is even more laughable than a Blizzard WoW Expansion launch.

EmEm_Oh · May 2020

Hate to say it, but ZOS needs to just take it offline and fix it. They're trying to mitigate, but it's just making things worse.

Alomar · May 2020

History is a great resource and indicator, nothing round here gets better. Whoever wasn't expecting a chapter launch to be the worst yet isn't paying attention.

Scottfree2 · May 2020

Hmm, Estimated time to log in just now ... 25 minutes.

Given that i got in an hour or two earlier, but then made the mistake of trying to port to Ttideholm for my dragon guard chest and got stuck in an infinite loading screen, so eventually closed the game, I have to say, this is not an encouraging start, even by modern day Game standards.

Ah well our Public libraries are finally open again and I was able to get some new library books so time to indulge in another form of escapism.

silvereyes · May 2020

Found the problem...

Who wants to bet the crown store is still up and running? Pay no attention to the large red "BUY NOW" button in the upper right of the page..........

MaxwellMurphy · May 2020

Been as ESO+ subscriber for years now...expecting nothing more from them than to provide a venue to actually participate fully in what I have both purchased and continue to purchase with the ESO+ dues.

I like many others tried to log into the servers and was greeted with a wonderful Queue. [snip] - really [snip] - they KNEW the expansion was coming as well as they have seen loads increase due to all the people staying at home just like Youtube, Netflix, etc... they have had a lengthy period of time now to have acquired more server capacity...but NOOOO, they wait until the expansion launches and then say it will be a couple weeks of this total [snip].

I was in a queue that stated 24min, 18 sec and sat in that for over 45 minutes with it never changing...finally bailed on it and tried again thinking it must have just locked up or something...now I get 25 min, 48 sec queue position....again being in it for over 20 minutes already with it never changing...

OVER AN HOUR trying to simply log in.... they implement a queue system with a timer but cannot be bothered with giving you ANY indication that it is trying or working to get you closer to a viable slot. Ludicrous and SHAME ON YOU programmers!

...again since starting this post my timer has not changed...not even by a single second.

Deathweeps · May 2020

Oh boy! I love surprise reveals! That queue is AMAZING! Didn't see that coming! Pffft this is so worth a sub! I can't even look at my chars. And for the people saying that people are crying about not being able to play, welp some of us pay money to a support and play a game that well, we can't play comfortably without laggy bugs, glitchy Cyro, and now on top of the list they added a queue to even log in? That isn't acceptable.

Santargria · May 2020

Queue 28 mins. 47 seconds

Yea this is a game breaker for me!
The game isn't that good that I'll willing wait a half hour everytime to play

Fix it or count two less eso+ accounts !

They would do better to restore things to where they were before today's patch and do more extensive testing of the Greymoor DLC for the next few months.

They'd do better to skip a couple of updates where they give us a dungeon only a few people care about, and focus on a couple of updates based purely on performance and bug fixes, which affect everyone.

And people will still not speak with their wallets after this. So they will continue to do the same thing. And history will repeat itself with complaints in forums and chat.

Justwondering · May 2020

People! Please stop crying.... Be patient and wait it out...... Relax... Forget about it.

I always speak with my wallet. It's the easiest way I can show my dissatisfaction to a company for the service.

I've been doing it for over 40 years, and it's works very well for me

LukosCreyden · May 2020

Queue times on the launch of new content is actually a very sensible decision, especially when expecting a big influx of players.

KhajiitiLizard · May 2020

Finally got in... lol

DrScott59 · May 2020

Gets worse every patch. Now a login queue? No. Not acceptable. But looking at the names on the Board of Directors, what can we expect? They won't stop the beatings until morale improves.

And it’s attitudes like this that ensure that ZoS will never take responsibility for their faults.

jahaposada · May 2020

Whoever said past performance is not indicative of future results never played ESO.

As an ESO + member who has purchased all content, I'm frustrated beyond words at how this is being handled.

I assume F2Ps are running around as we speak. Complete [snip]

If you can't cater to the people putting food on your table...maybe you should go hungry.

"27 minutes, 6 seconds."

For the last 45 minutes. LOL

Wow ZOS, just wow.

Also an ESO+ player on 2 accounts. This does not matter. I promise we get ZERO special treatment.
