  • MartinTridonale Martin Olichwier (@MartinTridonale) reported

    @TESOnline same problems..sorry this is not fixed. Do you test stuff and try to log in before you bring servers up?

  • MartinTridonale Martin Olichwier (@MartinTridonale) reported

    @TESOnline can you please respond to the long login and logout times after patch? This is really bad

  • Abaddonei Morvan (@Abaddonei) reported

    @TESOnline Not only loading times, after last maintenance whispers, guild, endeavors, housing, mail, traders, groups, basically anything involving the UI is lagged or not working at all.

  • slumberingweal1 sleep's castlevania propaganda (@slumberingweal1) reported

    @TESOnline about time, queue has been broken for a week now

  • JohnSte65399867 John Stephenson (@JohnSte65399867) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline But in all seriousness I think it might be an issue in the same ballpark just by how some chat messages in zone/guild chat are coming through instant and another message you sent 5 mins before comes in just after it. There seems to be a funky connection issue or lag server side.

  • GoddessArtemis Artemis (@GoddessArtemis) reported

    @SSEiLover @TESOnline Logging in and out of characters is really slow and kinda broken, too.

  • DefacedV Defaced N Disgraced Villain (@DefacedV) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Amazing you guys fixed it sooooo fast. Yet you still haven't fixed things from Beta on 76. But I guess Permission slips haven't been issued from Todd Coward and her band of Muppets to actually put in work. Such a one sided Broken Toilet Bowl of a Company and Developers.

  • Fiaterra Amy (@Fiaterra) reported

    @TESOnline Game is still unplayable, had trouble logging in, then couldn't log out, now with a fresh try can't get past the character login screen.

  • danistanaccount Dani (@danistanaccount) reported

    @TESOnline Hey besties, I am spooked. It seems like I am very much having the same issues, I just got booted off for “connection issues” loading into a public dungeon and now I have no guilds after experiencing major chat lag with them. What’s up?

  • AndiSupreme Andi Supreme (@AndiSupreme) reported

    @TESOnline Please consider extending the XP event at least? Even after two maintenance breaks I'm still getting booted or stuck in ridiculous loading screens. Between the queue issues from the past several days and now the latency issues, the event has been nigh unplayable.

  • Shadowolf7 Comrade Geeko (@Shadowolf7) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I've never seen such a serious mess of issues with ESO before, this is unprecedented in my experience. The oddest was the sun stuck and fog was gone.

  • RealmonteMarko Marko (@RealmonteMarko) reported

    @TESOnline I love that ZOS is putting up want ads while ESO is literally broken. There's a certain symmetry.

  • MartinTridonale Martin Olichwier (@MartinTridonale) reported

    @TESOnline Guys the login and logout times do you know about this problem after patch today? This needs to get fixed.

  • JohnSte65399867 John Stephenson (@JohnSte65399867) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline UPDATE 2 - I reckon I know what the issue is :D This game came out back in 2013 right? Most Internet service providers didn't have unlimited plans back then. ZOS forgot to update their ISP plan, and they got data capped for the month :D :D

  • MyCatBaileys JCK (@MyCatBaileys) reported

    @TESOnline So the servers are up but the problem isn't fixed. Just took me over 10 minutes to login. It's the same as this morning.

  • JohnSte65399867 John Stephenson (@JohnSte65399867) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Damn. I was one of the lucky few who had no issues before they took it down for emergency maintenance. Looks like whatever they just did may have rendered more of us unable to load in.

  • travelersghost loremastergreg (@travelersghost) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hopefully they fix the loading screen time

  • Crooked_856 Crooked (@Crooked_856) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline So what did you fix? It’s exactly the same

  • BradBohanan Brad Bohanan (@BradBohanan) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Same here, stuck on login screen

  • Shadowolf7 Comrade Geeko (@Shadowolf7) reported

    @Dudedragon @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline That's an interesting hypothesis. I have in fact never seen such bad issues with ESO before, so an extraordinary occurrence makes some sense.

  • Orangeblood503 B-Rizzle 🇺🇦 (@Orangeblood503) reported

    @HornsbyLewis @PizzzaCrusttt @LegacyKillaHD wait do you really think the elder scrolls weren't open world in the 90's? IIRC elder scrolls 2 still has one of the biggest open worlds ever and that release in '96. Oh I thing there are tons of bad design issues with FromSoft, but I don't think those are any of them.

  • elisdren Eli (@elisdren) reported

    i thought elder scrolls online was fixed with the fast load times only for it to not let me sign out of my current toon to continue doing writs. had to restart my game then got stuck in a 10 minute login window for my next toon..still haven't gotten in xD

  • NickWeb30802147 Nick Weber (@NickWeb30802147) reported

    @TESOnline Hire me I’ll show you clowns how to fix pvp

  • PsychoB98217044 PsychoBunny (@PsychoB98217044) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Servers are horrible after maint. So many issues, characters stuck that are lucky enough to even get in, can't log out, you name it. HELP!! :)

  • Fiaterra Amy (@Fiaterra) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Game is unplayable. Got in once slowly, then couldn't log out, tried fresh start and can't get past character login.

  • LinkOfTheWoods LinkOfTheWild (@LinkOfTheWoods) reported

    @TESOnline Still takes 100 years to log in even after you took servers down wow

  • JohnSte65399867 John Stephenson (@JohnSte65399867) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline UPDATE - I shut the game down, and rebooted my Steam, relaunched game and it worked fine. This could be a Steam to Bethesda issue. They have happened in the past. Is anyone able to confirm if this works for them also? It solved it for me.

  • iNSiMulATioN66 iNa-SiMulATioN (@iNSiMulATioN66) reported

    @TESOnline I don’t t think they have a clue how to fix anything. I’ve e been in load screen to reapers March for or 10 minutes. I guess they said **** it and put it live. Time for dinner.

  • ShinaKohana Shina Kohana (@ShinaKohana) reported

    @TESOnline I'm spending it in loading times, harassing people in zone to do a random dungeon because activity finder has been broken since DLC and a 2nd server maintenance shutdown in a single day. This is the worst one I've been to yet and I was on console for 6 years, just switched to PC.

  • PsychoB98217044 PsychoBunny (@PsychoB98217044) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Still not working. Same issue as before the emergency maint.
