  • Redders240283 John Reddell (@Redders240283) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Absolutely Jokes people play games to get away from the problems going on in the world. And the constant maintenance issues are pathetic 2 extended within a week jokes. #don’tknowwhattheirdoing

  • ferago42 Fernando A. Gómez F. (@ferago42) reported

    @jennfern108 @TESOnline Of course not, if you feel that way you definitely should cancel your sub, even though the problem is with the PS infrastructure.

  • sfgh67326844 sfgh (@sfgh67326844) reported

    @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport Lol, so glad I quit last month, this game ain't worth the time or money. $15/mo for plus but the slew of problems never seems to be fixed from the several maintenance updates each month, while you spend more time loading than playing. 7yr old game still running like its a beta..

  • slimes4ever Silent_Thief162 (@slimes4ever) reported

    @Katie_Brady12 @darth_straw @TESOnline Don't know how you're still patient even wait twelve hours and having others playing it no problem

  • BBray777 Brydie Bray (@BBray777) reported

    @Sranje20 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Ya'll must be new to MMOs. This **** is pretty standard among all companies with regards to patches messing things up. JFC, I could understand if it was a days long outage, like we used to deal with in games like Eq and even WoW.

  • nendoras Néndoras (@nendoras) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Inventory issues and NPC very-long spawn times ar still an issue. Was this not gonna be addressed?

  • jennfern108 Jennifer Fernandez (@jennfern108) reported

    @ferago42 @TESOnline Ah. I never meant to insinuate I was upset at the actual guys writing the code. I mean, I love this game. Problems are unavoidable, but management could have addressed this much differently

  • DanMcAuliffe2 Dan McAuliffe (@DanMcAuliffe2) reported

    @TESOnline Why don't you have backup servers you can switch over to whilst you fix the game? Or are Microsoft not allowing that to happen now either?

  • AinHallap Ain Hallap (@AinHallap) reported

    @TESOnline Please fix your extremely unbalanced classes! Nightblade is unplayable compared with other classes. Why to nerf class, not sets? Sets are major issue!

  • JLacy1974 Josh Lacy (@JLacy1974) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline How much longer? Trying to be patient but come on Xbox and PC have been up so what is truly the issue for us playstation players? Are we now not good enough after the buyout by Microsoft?

  • Sky1Light4 Steve.syfy (@Sky1Light4) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Playing @CrashOnTheRun while these issues are fixed. No complaints here lol

  • TomDignam420 Tom Dignam (@TomDignam420) reported

    @damatsancisi @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Agreed! I think it’s more a series of issues and incidents which has driven people to their reactions. I’d hope people weren’t that petty or oblivious to what life actually is lol! Bethesda have been gradually going downhill for the last few years, which is a shame.

  • AngeloMateiu Angelo Mateiu (@AngeloMateiu) reported

    @somebodyshubby @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline They have posted the issue and the fact that they’re working alongside Sony to fix it. What more do you want?

  • jennfern108 Jennifer Fernandez (@jennfern108) reported

    @ferago42 @TESOnline The problem is not with the server being dosn or the PS infrastructure, the problem is with the way the customer service team handled this incident. Updating us at 10:30 am when the deadline was 10 am? Not illegal, just rude

  • ferago42 Fernando A. Gómez F. (@ferago42) reported

    @jennfern108 @TESOnline What I'm pointing out is that perhaps you had the wrong expectations by thinking the game should be available 100% of the time. This is true for any paid online service, not only games.

  • FaylenSol Faylen Sol 🧢 (@FaylenSol) reported

    @castiel_swift @Meiyonetta @TESOnline And those with issues should serve as a lesson on what not to do when engaging with crossplay. Just because another game failed at something doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Crossplay is a highly requested feature and other MMOs, like FFXIV, have pulled it off without issue.

  • jennfern108 Jennifer Fernandez (@jennfern108) reported

    @ferago42 @TESOnline There’s also nothing in the TOS that says I have to renew my subscription if I think their customer service sucks. I’m not planning on suing for breach of contract, I‘m planning on cancelling ESO+ if this is how they treat customers.

  • darien5589 Darien (@darien5589) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Never seen such horrible service

  • apemich April (@apemich) reported

    @crazyjoe101 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline North American servers down since 4am and now it’s 6pm and still down. No update status from devs. Losing precious time.

  • BRICKCITYCHAMP1 BrickESO (@BRICKCITYCHAMP1) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline This dont make any sense at all. Every week the same ol maintenance issue. We should all just stop playing this broken game.

  • Oscar83302713 Oscar (@Oscar83302713) reported

    @TESOnline Why are the servers down?

  • ferago42 Fernando A. Gómez F. (@ferago42) reported

    @AddictWythAPen @artefaktual @TESOnline Of course, that's what Microsoft said: exclusive, or first or better in Microsoft platforms. It is to be expected, although I don't think this particular issue is related to that.

  • castiel_swift Castiel Swift (@castiel_swift) reported

    @FaylenSol @Meiyonetta @TESOnline That's the thing, Zenimax aren't exactly known for implementing things perfectly. In fact if I recall the launch of ESO was a utter mess and took years for it to get into its awesome state and I've found many issues in the recent expansions... They wouldn't do it well!

  • mandoledge Peter Wright (@mandoledge) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Don’t think I’ll renew eso plus and will be contacting Sony for refund on preorder of Blackwood. Had this game since launch, sorely disappointed in the shoddy server issues of late, unplayable.

  • Hall2Eric Eric S Hall (@Hall2Eric) reported

    @TESOnline Fix the ******* SERVERS! TRASH!

  • Yesministerx Humphrey (@Yesministerx) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline You know what, I haven't complained but picking an easter bank holiday for your 12 hour maintainance that doesn't ever fix the lag in pvp is bang out of order. These days of not being able to play would be worth it if you actually fixed anything. Love the game but you guys suck

  • AddictWythAPen Olivia ☂︎ 🐺 (@AddictWythAPen) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Wtf it’s 10 past 6pm now, but I still can’t play?? I’m not going to get to play at all today if it takes much longer. I’ll contact customer service about my missed event tickets, missed daily reward, and missed jubilee boxes. If I don’t get them, I won’t pay for ESO+ anymore.

  • vasquez_zane Zane Vasquez (@vasquez_zane) reported

    @TESOnline My question is. Will we be getting an extra day for the event like PC gets anytime there servers are down during events. We’ve lost a whole day and even last week we lost a whole day during the jesters fest and honestly it feels like these problems only started after the buy out?

  • BeauMckewen CHILDREN OF THE ASYLUM GAMING (@BeauMckewen) reported

    @SlowmanYT @TESOnline More the same reputation of being so broken at times
