    @aidenscott @TESOnline I'm not sure I understand the mentality behind this & another tweet claiming advantages for other platforms. The Dev team has worked hard through Easter to fix the game, be grateful & get on with your day.

    @TESOnline What will this mean for daily login rewards does this mean I'll lose a day if so I'm very disheartened and disappointed. 😔

    @TESOnline Wait, this game has bugs and doesn't work? I'm shocked. Especially from zos. Maybe there is packet loss prevention in the crown store, or server maintenance issues. Out comes the liars mouthpieces.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline @PlayStation really? What is the issue? I know its nothing, just asking. And why can't you backout the update and then release the update when it's ready, like it should have been today! That way us PS4/5 users can still play the game.

    @TESOnline What is hitching? I was getting a second of lag any time I equipped a new armor piece. No trouble staying connected though.

  • disturb3d0n3
    Jess (@disturb3d0n3) reported

    @AskPlayStation many PS users are very upset right now in terms of a server update with @TESOnline, they claim this problem is a @Sony issue and told us it may not even be fixed for another 48 hours!?! If this is a PS issue what is the progress on fixing it?!

    @leleloopylou @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Go XBox, if you can. There seems to be problems with ESO on PS4.

    @nnnalka2176 @TESOnline What? Do you have trouble reading? That didn’t even make sense as a response. Tons of people care; just look at Bethesda support or TES Online. And my whole point is my platform isn’t benefiting while others are. Poor troll.

  • aidenscott
    Aiden Scott (@aidenscott) reported from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

    @TESOnline The only reasonable response to this huge error is to refund all PS players their monthly ESO+ payments or be extremely generous with the ESO+ rewards for several months as well as Gold, Crates, event tickets and maybe some exclusive items.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What about daily login?

  • sojapagen
    Sojapågen (@sojapagen) reported

    @leleloopylou @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Been for 6 years and NGL, it has becoming worse and worse. Every big update they break the game and have to fix it. Which sometimes takes weeks or months. I'm not gonna lie though, there are many things in-game that they don't ever fix.

  • KayVR85

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Has it ever accured to you Sony fanboys and girls that it is Sony software structure that is causing the problem.

    Hi so if PS4 players cannot log in for the next 2 days while Elder Scrolls Online does a fix can #ESO #tesonline give us in mail the missing daily gifts for logging in ?. #slashlurk

    @fel2dirt @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Looks like an hardware problem.

    @nb_rich @doyoulikejazz7 @TESOnline totally agree with your viewpoint, it must be something big that has happened relating to sony services and good that bethesda/zos are willing to work to fix the issues

    @razorbetts @TESOnline 1. Not zenimax's problem 2. This is a Sony problem 3. Zenimax don't give a **** what platform u play on. 4. You can't transfer from one platform to another. 5. I'm sure zeni are loving doing maintenance and did it on purpose, I mean who doesn't love losing out on money.

    @putloveonhoran @TESOnline The inventory, banking and mail systems have been a mess since the beginning. They don’t care about fixing it or they are too stupid to be able to. Either way I’m not expecting them to fix any of that because they don’t care enough about them. They’ll fix an exploit ASAP tho.

  • xjs007
    xjs007 (@xjs007) reported

    @jzargho @TESOnline They don’t care. Just want the sub money and chapter purchases. If they cared they would fix bugs not just exploits. I’ll consider changing my mind if they ever fix the guild bank lag that’s existed since they “fixed” the guild bank dupe exploit that happened at PC release.

    Thomassen Honnor (@SeduceWithPuns) reported

    @ntkrjjenrnkhsw @doyoulikejazz7 @TESOnline They were though. Same day that PC and xbox were going on. Same time even. But they're different systems, so a problem showing up on one wouldn't necessarily show up on the rest. And here we are

  • SeduceWithPuns
    Thomassen Honnor (@SeduceWithPuns) reported

    @NottTodayTanas @doyoulikejazz7 @TESOnline Again, gotta say, an expected few hours during which most people will be asleep, with an unexpected issue. As opposed to letting existing issues persist rather than attempting to fix them in (again) a time that was expected to be quick and short.

  • MaskScarah88
    Sarah (@MaskScarah88) reported

    @TESOnline I don't understand how you all expect people to keep paying and still play a game that has been unplayable well before this debauchery of a "maintenance." Forget all the changes, DLC's, crown store items, houses, and fix your game!

  • DM_Artzt
    WhereIsMyDad (@DM_Artzt) reported

    @TESOnline Why is everyone hating, they're trying to fix the problem. Of course there should be a better compensation but it's nothing to cry about

  • TheOGTaterThot
    𝔹𝕒𝕜𝕖𝕕ℙ𝕠𝕥𝕒𝕥𝕠™ is offline 🖤 (@TheOGTaterThot) reported

    @TESOnline Can you guys possibly figure out Xbox too I've had to contact your customer support three times tonight and each time everything was going to find long enough for me to say thank you it's fixed but then within minutes I crash not intending to be rude 💖

  • Yesministerx

    @fel2dirt @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Haha don't be silly. Pvp has always been riddled with lag, blue screens and bugs

    @DebbieBurrows11 @TESOnline They're trying to fix the problem, what does it matter if they have an advantage lol

  • dafishinabarrel
    The Fish in a Barrel (@dafishinabarrel) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline This clearly is a bigger issue than "Microsoft is just showing favoritism" that many of you are suggesting. Sony is clearly now involved with this, which means there's an undeniably substantial glitch between the two architectures.

  • 7730017_C
    Chris Liddell (@7730017_C) reported

    @TESOnline All PS4 players should be given an equal opportunity to the event ticket total you’re now offering pc and Xbox players by extending the event. This issue doesn’t affect them, and yet they are benefitting from our troubles. That’s shameful inequality of platform.

  • SeduceWithPuns
    Thomassen Honnor (@SeduceWithPuns) reported

    @ntkrjjenrnkhsw @doyoulikejazz7 @TESOnline It's.... it's not unprofessional? It's actually quite professional. Big company had issue with tech that they couldn't control: immediately began looking into the problem, gave multiple updates to the community so they're realistically aware of the progress and situation.

  • xjs007
    xjs007 (@xjs007) reported

    @NickFirzen @TESOnline Story and lore I’ve enjoyed and it’s why I still play TES games. The bugs are starting to really weigh it down though which sucks. Bank and inventory lag is absolutely destroying the experience right now.
