The trouble is that not everyone by a long way suffers from all, or even some, of the issues that get raised in the context of the "game that doesn't work". I've been playing continuously since launch on PC EU and to a lesser degree on PC NA and I can say in total honesty that of the 10 issues listed above by @evoprimes there isn't a single one that I've experienced in any significant way. Have I had a couple of random logouts or long loading screens in 6 years? Yes, but that's it and I don't consider that to be either significant or different to any other game over the years.
As such I happily endorse the OP's thanks to the devs for sorting out the issues that have affected the Chapter launch, although apart from the first day's issues it has run fine for me apart obviously from the various downtimes.

The problem with the fanboy tag is that it only applies to those who claim to find no fault with any aspect of a game whatsoever. I don't have any problems in large part because I neither PvP nor do Trials, nor use addons, but I don't regard the game as perfect and regularly have a moan about the rubbish trading system, for example. Both of us can only base our views on our own experiences, and mine are very largely positive while yours may be very largely negative. That doesn't make me a fanboy any more than it makes you a troll. It just makes our experiences of the game different.
I want to thank ZOS team for the following:
1) 5 years of CYRO lag
2) Being forced to refarm vMA and vDSA
3) Infinite loading screens
4) Random logouts
5) Various exploits
6) Adding a horse into the Crown store for 500 gems
7) Forcing players to gamble in order to get a cosmetic thing
8) Instance desyncs
9) Completely ignore the community regarding performance complains
10) Unplayable battegrounds
Thank you so much, I wish you all the best!
daemonios, i fully understand your point of view - but don't you think as well, that those working on this stuff deserve a bit of appreciation for their efforts, if they did well?- they are people too and we complain if they fail but if they do well, why not show some appreciation as well.

@Tandor you've been here long enough and been called out often enough for being a fanboy to understand that your coming into complaint threads with your "I'm not affected" attitude is often in fact patronising and derailing.
I'm glad you're able to play the game with no issues. But please have some respect for people who do have issues, people who are locked out of content they've paid for, people who are routinely kicked out of the game or stuck in loading screens, people who are unable to use skills or follow mechanics in group content, possibly leading to the loss of hours of effort. If you need to restate that you have no issues, take care that it's not implying the issues are with other players, their computers, their connections, their add-ons, and whatever new excuse is in fashion.

The next time my video game goes out or I drive my video game I will keep that in mind.
I played plenty of Bethesda games and bugs generally come with the whole open world RPG territory. MMOs have lag.
it was one of the first Open world games I played and will continue to play because I enjoy it.
Every now and then we get an influx of players from other MMOs and the forums blow up with negativity.
for all the complaining and what not and people saying they don't want to play this game they sure do spend their time wisely.
on the forums of a game they don't want to play.

Why do you bother playing then, If the game is as bad as you make out?

So you don't find it a provocation, precisely at a time when we've had maintenance 4 days in a row and performance is still awful in the new zones and group content, to come and sing the devs' praise? But I do see your point. I will try to refrain from raining down on other people's parade. I trust you will do the same.
I'm not bothered by timely maintenance to get things sorted out - i appreciate that they do it like that now and not push it to a later date.

Yep a long time online and one thing i have learnt no matter how much things have progressed over the years is that this is the internet which is never going to be 100% reliable and neither is any game you will play. Lag is something that will always haunt us no matter how good a computer system or how good the programmers are.
As far as Elder Scrolls goes I am thankful I don't have to hop around to level my Acrobatics skill anymore, But I still do it out of habit.
Yes we've come a long way since the ZX Spectrum/Commodore 64.. games like 'Planet of Death', 'Espionage Island' .. and at the time much more technical adventures like the Zork games which you always envied other computers being able to play as the adventure descriptions were so much better.How far we have indeed evolved, and back then we wouldn't have dreamed that a game as detailed graphically would be on the screen(s) in front of us. Mind you back then we didn't have gigabytes, it was all kilobytes, and a game was written to fit into memory of either 16k, 48k or 64k, and often loaded from tape unless you were posh and hard a disk drive or tape drive. If you asked young people now what an azimuth alignment kit is, they wouldn't know
Now i work in IT myself and have done for many years, and one thing I always find, as an engineer you have all the solutions, but its getting them financed and put into practice that never seems to happen, so you can bet your bottom dollar that the IT guys in this equation right now are working extra hours missing 'being a dad/mum' for those extra hours, and often getting little thanks for it. We often say its a thankless task and when someone takes the time just to say THANK YOU it makes a huge difference.. makes you feel more.. valued.
So I agree, and say thank you to the people running around at the bottom of this supporting their IT ... then upwards through to the escalation team members who equally have a tough job when launching something new like this. I don't mind some days of pain, but do hope they listen to the guys at the bottom tiers for their fix ideas because they are probably RIGHT.Foggy_Atsea wrote: »I'm old school been online so long i started when games were text based no graphics only hints like, you're in a tavern, there is a door to the south that leads outside and a door to the west that leads to the tavern cellar, do you go south or west ?.

One of the biggest problems is trying to make a game that will work for many different computer setups from graphic cards and types of ram and processors etc used by us all. Millions of lines of code has to be fed into the system to try and make even the simplest things work as they should. So the software needed is a huge task alone and if it wasn't for those people that spent years training in programming we wouldn't be here. The same goes for all those looking after the hardware side of things.
I could go on and on about this but i'm sure most of you are not interested and bored already so i'll just say a big thank you to the Devs and everyone that is involved in ESO a huge thank you for all you do even though right now with the pandemic throwing a spanner in the works, you are still managing to work in difficult conditions. Also a huge thank you to Gina and all the Zos staff that appear on the forum helping us and keeping us updated when they can.
I'm sure a lot of people love the game and will admit they have a lot of fun playing although sometimes it can be frustrating, if it wasn't so good they wouldn't be so upset about it.
Anyhoo thank you all again for what you do to make things happen.

Tell me if I am right or wrong in all mentioned above. I rarely play the game and no joy comes out of it. Just frustration.

Oh no the computer tech based company is forced to use home computers to work on their computer game, how ever will they manage?! I better tell indie devs it is impossible to do decent work on a home setup.

Why, yes, I DO say a sincerely meant thank you to a waiter/waitress when they bring out the food I ordered and refill my drink. Expressing gratitude for the service they are doing is not a bad thing.
