Undaunted festival

How are we supposed to be able to do the undaunted festival this week with all these random game freezes??? You freeze in everything you do. Just today I was running a dungeon and one member froze. Later was going fishing and froze just running to the fishing hole (and 4 of my friends froze at the same spot in reapers March) , rebooted my game and my game froze on the log in screen six times before I decided to switch characters. Two friends also couldn’t log back into the same character they were on. I understand that sometime fixes are hard to figure out but a festival when we are having these issues is going to do nothing more than frustrate your player base when they freeze in a dungeon especially when it is on the last boss.

    No add on since I’m on Xbox. We don’t have the ease of add ons. It is happening to lots of people I know on Xbox.

    Funny how expanded server capacity can solve the problem, huh...

    In case there needs to be more specific XBox issues listed,simultaneous freezing of players is occurring in all Craglorn trials, VDSA, Fang Lair, several other dungeons from hearing people talk, and a fishing hole in Reaper’s March where three of my friends can’t even log back into those characters. Cloudrest is choosing a player to put into an eternal skills negate. Spindleclutch 1 will choose several players to place into a never ending moon walk. It’s broke, ZoS, and the Undaunted Event is going to stress the players and the system to the max.

    They either shouldn't be running the event if lich bosses remain bugged, or they should remove those pledges from the dungeon pool, so they don't end up wasting people's time/ability to earn rewards with them.

    I had that happen and the thing that got me out of it was joining a group and having someone else as the crown queue for a dungeon. Once we went in, the stuck queue dropped off.

    I just did CoH1 random, and someone had guest. So we did that extra boss that people usually skip. Its lich boss and no one crashed. PC/NA

    This has not seemed to be the issue overall as one player noted they were still crashing when they were not using any addons.

    Of course OP is on console but that was not noted when you made this quoted post.

    Problem with the bugs is not server, its client and the performance update who made the game extremely unstable.

    Recommend simply remove all the changed made to the dlc related to performance and not related to content as it don't work. Well the unstability make fewer players play who reduce server load but don't think that is the plan.
    If so making game sub would again would be an better solution.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I haven't had a single crash or freeze since the last patch, completed numerious trails and dungeons over the weekend without a single group member crashing and a few runs of MA & vateshran with no crashes at all.

    Are these crashes really as wide spread as these forums would suggest or is there a bit of hyperbole at play?

    I play 7-8 hours a day and do not crash every day. And when I do its once a day. It sucks if it happens at wrong moment like last boss or something but overall it's not as bad for me as for some others here. I do lots of dungeons and trials. It may have something to do with individual hardware or network because some and the same people seem to have more trouble than others.

    That's interesting, I feel like I've seen it said it's a certain skill the lich bosses use, so maybe you were able to burn the boss quick enough to avoid it? Or it doesn't use that skill?

    Because it's well mentioned that WR2 and FL are bugged and cause multiple player crashes at Garron and Caluurion.

    There's nowhere to postpone it, new life festival comes right after. Undaunted event has always been rough. There's no need to postpone or cancel it coz it's not that bad for majority of players. I would rather have it and crash once a day than not have it at all. Dungeon finder seems to be fixed at least on PC/NA. If you don't wanna participate because of bugs you don't have to, dont deny others from playing.

    Yeah, same. If I'm crashing, it can be once, or it can be multiple times, but I still don't want the event postponed. It would be nice to get fixes on some of the dungeon issues beforehand so we can complete all the pledges (SCP still bugged too) but if not I still don't want it postponed. And on console we didn't even have the additional DF issues PC had.

    When you have six simultaneous dc’s happen two times in a row, same boss, almost the same percentage in vHel Ra, and in the exact spot, there is an issue. It is neither hardware nor Internet connectivity related. There are always issues when a new chapter and zone content drops, but the most recent fix did not address these particular issues. Would that more people were on the forums to report the issues. For those not experiencing this, congrats. You have won a mini-lottery.

    To be fair, group dc's in vHRC are nothing new, not from this latest update, not even from the one before that. This has been an ongoing problem, just like in vMoL where sometimes if the group wipes, no one can rez.

    Do these things need to be fixed? Absolutely. Do I expect it to happen any time soon? Unfortunately no.

    For sure. And Cloudrest has that skills negate. But that particular issue of certain places/bosses/actions dropping groups etc. has been happening many places lately, not just in vHRC. It is just one example. While writing my last post, my husband had three group members freeze and dc during a normal random daily. The event is unfortunately going to tax an already unstable system. Last month, this would not have been as much of an issue, but now, it is popping up more and more places.

    Oh I know people are dc'ing more, but using an existing compromised trial as an example where you already get that, IMO is not really an example, it's an instance behaving as it normally does, unfortunately. It's a feature not a bug. :/

    What dungeon was your husband in when that happened? I'm curious if it's somewhere new getting group dc's, mostly because there's the ones with issues at this stage (WR2, FL, SCP) and others I'm real suss about (WGT, CT I am looking at you).

    I concur. We had over 20 individual DCs in vHRC 2 days ago; and 11 last night.

    Wayrest 2 was the dungeon and the vHRC is a good example as it also happened in SO and AA. The same issue I described happened in Fang Lair, apparently WR2, CofH1, and Spindleclutch 1. The same type of issue. VHRC has been buggy for a long time, but it was one example of many just from the last four days. When a group of 6 people freeze at a fishing hole in Reaper’s March, in the same way as what happened in vHRC, there is a major issue with the game. In that instance, three of the six could not log onto those characters even after rebooting. The forums have multiple threads about these issues. Again, if players have escaped these issues on the different platforms, good for them. Other players are not so lucky.

    Nothing worked for me. We switched crown, left group etc. Well we didint get into dung cuz que was not working so i guess getting into dung might help (if it was possible)?? I like that paradox tho, that only cure for broken que is the thing that broken que prevents you from.

    Anyway, i got into cyro and was in dung que for whole session xD so im still pretty sure that event gonna be great

    Maybe this event is designed for solo dungeon running this year. I have been running FG1, EH1, WS1 and CoH1 almost daily since Markarth dropped without any crashes. I kill everything. The last crash I had was at the Poacher's Camp while hunting for my lead for the Ring of the Pale Order, about a week ago. I play Xbox and all my crashes since Markarth have been on the NA server.

    Prior to Markarth I can count the number of times I've crashed in content on one hand. It rarely happens to me.

    Since Markarth...
    1. Doing Wayrest 2 pledge, 2/4 group members crashes on Lich boss (hard freeze of the game, not booted from the game).
    2. I crashed multiple times in vSS HM prog group on Lokkestiiz and Nahvintaas. These were suddenly being booted from the game with no error message. I was not the only one who crashed, as even when we finally got our EoF clear we literally sat at 55% and 45% waiting for people to reconnect (spammed barrier).
    3. Someone always disconnects when ogre shamans yell in vmol. Additionally, we had door prog yesterday with one of the healers crashing before we even entered the trial proper. And I crashed on twins fight.
    4. Multiple crashes in vhrc. To the point where I will not run it right now.
    5. Multiple crashes in vAA. Still managed a 16 minute HM clear while waiting for people to relog at pads.
    6. Multiple crashes on vCR+1, but not for me.

    The only trial I haven't had crashes in is vCR+3 and I strongly suspect that's because we are resetting on deaths (GH prog).
