Logging multiple chars is absolutely FRUSTRATING

Coatmagic · March 2022

Trying to test the achiev system. Started at the bottom of my list 18 so my last logged in will be my main. I think this is correct order?

Anyway, OMG, this is so very frustrating! Every other load being booted back to log in MULTIPLE TIMES.

It is not on my end, I never have connectivity issues, so what exactly is going on here?

How am I supposed to test something if the server is so wonky that it's causing me to want to tear my hair out...?

Please advise.

Maybe this should be posted in achievement bugs?

Meh I gave up. Did a search for the error and as with all the other bugs it has been around forever.

If this is already an issue on PTS, good luck logging in on patch day. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the database/server grinds to a halt in the first few hours this goes live as everyone is loading their characters into the new system.

Whelp, that's a fire ZOS will have inflicted on themselves. I won't be logging in on live that day, and I won't be logging in on any of my alts at all, so I won't be contributing to the fuel.

Keep in mind the live server has more HPs than the PTS server and It should fare better. That said, there are always issues on patch release day, so sometimes it pays to wait to log in until the evening when things settle.

I've been on PTS all morning, created two new chars and tested an old one. No issue at all.

What I don't get is why ZOS NEVER tests the build they actually deploy on patch day. Why in the world would you not test the actual build you plan to push to players.

When this update hits regular servers, I guarantee it will have a different build date and time than whatever the last build published to PTS was.

I’m pretty sure that’s what we’re all hoping for.

It doesn't sound like an achievement bug though, logging in on characters isn't strictly an issue with achievements.

Unfortunately OP the servers can indeed get wonky. It's just something we have to deal with. This happens to me on live all the time; I go to logout to character select and a good 60-70% of the time I end up crashing back to the login screen.
