The Live team investigated whether to start the server, in response to your concerns. In our view, the performance of the server does not really degrade, if they run longer without interruption."
Edit: @ZOS_KaiSchober ... hopefully this captures what you said correctly. As usual, thanks for posting the information!Edited by Elsonso on January 5, 2015 4:43PMXBox EU/NA:@ElsonsoJannus

Vikestart✭✭✭Okay, things are getting pretty bad.
Everything is intermittently unresponsive; abilities not activating, effects not showing, enemies teleporting instead of walking/running, sudden ping spikes.
I just had everything stop working for 10 seconds or so.....
The game is getting unplayable, please RESTART the servers now!1 -

Thanks for the translation. That is an incredibly interesting comment. And only in German? o.O I'm no programmer, but I've been playing MMOs for 2 decades and this would be the first one where performance doesn't degrade if left unattended for weeks and weeks. Doesn't every device connected to any kind of network need a reboot? Your PC, even your phone.. Heck even the damned cable box needs a reboot or it goes bonkers.. The very first thing we ALL do when we have a problem with our modem is to unplug it.
Yeah.

Ahdora✭✭✭✭✭Last night I was finishing up Doomcrag in Rivenspire, in the second to last room.
The opponents are 2 lvl 30 undead, followed by a lvl 30 gargoyle. There was no way to stop the opponent spawning. the supposed que to destroy certain devices never appeared. I ended up in continuous combat for slightly over an hour killing 2 undead followed by a gargoyle every 40 seconds or so. Burned over 30 potions, had to re-provision mid battle, totally discharged my sword, and wrecked my armor to 50%.
It did raise me one whole level though
Plus I also had the 'beating your spell to the opponent' thing happen all night.
That's not a bug. You have to drag the gargoyle over to those statue things so that he will smash them.Heals With Stick, V11 Argonian Nightblade Healer, NA-EP3 -

I call bs.
Either the issues me and a lot of other people are seeing ingame is a result of unattended servers or the game is just horribly bugged.
Abilities not firing, effects not showing, enemies insta-move teleport, intermittent lag spikes, rubberbanding and even setbacks.....
I'd prefer it to be the former. The game isn't usually like this, is it?Edited by Vikestart on January 5, 2015 4:49PM2 -

I do want to point out that I took considerable translation liberty there and tried to convey meaning and not a literal translation. Hopefully, if Kai feels this is wrong, he will update my translation so that mistaken information does not get out. From my reading of the German, this sounds like the proper English translation, and I ran it through a few machine translators for second opinions.

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerWe haven't had a new build in a few weeks mainly because we wanted to make sure we had a stable build on both megaservers before the holiday break. That said, we are planning to release patch 1.5.8 next Monday, and will continue to keep an eye on performance and any potential critical issues. If we feel a maintenance before next week is necessary, we'll get something scheduled and will let you know.3 -

Thanks for the response Gina, but at the very least we just need a reboot. Unless the ESO servers are some kind of new super technology more advanced than:
1. Any computer
2. Any modem
3. Any smart phone
4. Any cable box
5. Basically any device attached to any kind of network.
Those of us that have been playing since launch are seeing stuff in game that is abnormal and the concern is in regards to the impression left on the new community members that we are all happy to see. As well as a smooth gaming experience for us.

Those of us in the IT world get this as "don't tinker with the furnace while the repair man is on vacation". The build that is deployed now has been working for the last few weeks prior without issue, though in recent weeks I've heard about some of the additional problems.
This is rough on some currently, but it would have been a lot more bumpy if patches were applied and something serious broke while everyone was away.3 -

And what about performance issues we've been having this past week? Will they also wait for this build?
Instead of running tests and whatnot, try playing the freaking game for a change. You will see there is abolutely no need for futher tests.2 -

✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno
With all due respect, if the constant server uptime is not the issue and you guys where planning on weekly maintenance since the game launched, then couldn't you just go ahead and do a maintenance just to make people happy?
Or would that be like giving a kid a cookie just to shut him up and you don't want to reward that type of behavior?Edited by ers101284b14_ESO on January 5, 2015 5:23PM1 -
Nazon_Katts✭✭✭✭✭Just hop in-game and experience for yourself, instead of relying on some statistical and theoretical data. I went up from 50~80ms to 200~500ms with second long lag spikes of +999. With two different systems at two different physical locations and three different providers.

spryler✭✭✭Perhaps it is an example of the boy who cried wolf?
People rabidly complain about small/minor things all the time. They threaten to quit and predict the demise of ESO over (sometimes) inconsequential things.
Perhaps it becomes difficult as a Dev to know which are the threads that truly need attention. I mean if they did a reset or a quick patch for every flame-thread on the forums, the servers would never be available to play on.5 -

Actually I'm now more worried about developing very 'sticky' keys due to the amount of coke that hit my keyboard when I saw the first picture!!
and to anyone that cares, I would normally be ingame playing at this time of day BUT after resetting all my equipment, running a cleaner, all my adware, spyware and security software......
My game performance is still way worse than usual.....
Oh I checked my broadband out thoroughly as well, I am now pretty convinced these issues are not on my end.
