I cannot believe the number of problems this game has. Trying to do the Maelstrom Arena, crash after crash. Character stuck in the water after death... then no way out. Try to log in, can't log in for minutes at a time. Controls non-responsive. dumped out of the game several times. No way to revive in the Arena without immediately dying and being stuck in the ice -- again.
Other dungeons have bosses that run off the board and reset themselves, players who die but end up stuck inside a rock or a wall...And no, it's not my machine, which plays every other game I have with no problem. The group that I play with also has these problems.
Maybe a little less time spent on content -- which of late hasn't been all that good -- and more on bug fixes would be a good way to go.

    The team that does new content is not the same team that troubleshoots. Different skill sets required. Not sure what your problem is but I hope it gets straightened out. I've been doing no death Maelstrom runs without a problem other than light attack weaving doesn't seem to be working for me like it used to.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    Yes the game is still in beta, and it will always stay that way. You should go play in Cyrodiil instead, much better 😉

    Crashes or freezes? I'm having constant game freezes in MA as well.

    Althought they could be the same thing.

    Well, then i guess this is the perfect game for you 👍 As for the performance, you have to be patient for fixes... extremely patient. Ive waited half a decade for a performance improvement that havent happened yet...

    PVP in cyrodiil might not be anyone's thing: you approach a battle/enemy on foot, obviously because you're stuck in combat and couldn't ride in even if you wanted to. You face off - the enemy isn't moving..poker face? Lag? But you're not moving either despite hammering keys.

    Then you're both dead in <1 second with a death recap from another player who wasn't even there. Then all those skills you tried to activate earlier suddenly go off and the guy that nailed you dies half a mile away on horseback in a masterstroke of programming irony since they were the only player who really was in combat and shouldn't have been able to ride.

    The Tao of pvp can be mysterious.

    Or the game is so full of bugs it looks perpetually locked in beta.

    I believe @Karmanorway was jesting.

    I can see why you'd think so >_<

    Well, they did stop regular updares to performance improvements status. Which may indicate that whoever-is-working-on-it prefers to do it properly without pressure of artificial deadlines. Or they gave up and hope people forget they even tried.

    On both PC EU and NA I have cleared vMA multiple times this week without any performance-related issues. No crashing or lag.

    I am not arguing with OP, but just because another game performs fine on the same PC does not mean there are no issues locally. Heck, I friend lost their GPU. Obviously, they could not play ESO without one. They were able to play a different MMORPG without that GPU with what was built into the motherboard.

    It is worth opening a tech support ticket and has them help you. There is a report the launcher can generate that may help them help you. Granted, I expect TS is backlogged due to COVID just as CS is but there is nothing to lose by working with them.

    Edit: I assume OP has done both a repair from the launcher and completely shut down the PC and started it again. BTW, "restarting" a PC does not do a complete shutdown.

    Just experienced a bug where I'm excavating and because I'm using the tool to remove the dust layer..I get booted from the game saying I reached the message limit. I love the game, but some of the bugs have been with us since launch. It's like they just decided screw it at this point. It's really disappointing, because the one thing that works flawlessly is the crown store...wonder why.

    Those arent problems. According to Rich, they are features.

    Fortunately my issues doesn't affect my ability to enjoy the quests in the game.

    Anybody stopping playing the game because of issues as a form of protest would solve nothing. Besides, Zenimax would be stupids to hinder future benefits with a buggy game, so of course that they've motivation. The more that people play, the more propense they're on spending bucks in more in-game stuff.

    MMOs (and other "live service" games) are kind of always in beta.
