[Megathread] Elder Scrolls Online

They need to have a set downtime, instead of being so random and people wouldn't be as upset.

I'd rather they just take it down as often as they choose till they get the major bugs resolved.

Is it possible to do a nice pose to the camera so you can show it to your friends hehe :P

What are those bugs?

- - - Updated - - -

Ye, they have some... uh... issues.

Like how dungeon loot / chests are implemented.
- boss drops are not much
- better drops are got from chest
- chests are only for person who opens it and they disappear after opening/looting
- trolls can just ignore fighting and run to open chests l while others try to kill boss / trash
- if you kick troll from your party, he will stay in the instance even when he/she is not in your party
- when you invite another person to replace troll, person is places in separate instance since your instance still has 5 players (since kicked person stays in the instance)

That chest thing is so stupid. I didn't know that was a thing in this game, and when I ran dungeons I did notice a couple of people always going for the chests. In my opinion they should be removed because it doesn't encourage group play. But in terms of loot not dropping for each boss, that is fine. It isn't like you get an items for each boss you kill in a game like WoW anyway.

Critical quests not working? Some people cannot progress because of it.


They had hardly any downtime, we really need some major fixed. If you complain about it, this is your first mmo. Most MMOs have much more downtime (includic queues). at launch.

Just invited the people who PMed me today to the EU guild.

Just a reiteration for anyone new, we have a social MMOC members guild on the EU megaserver, all are welcome (cross faction). We currently have 40 members. You can join up to 5 guilds, and the aim of the guild is to have somewhere for MMOC people to have a chat, ask questions, also to trade if you fancy and maybe you'll even find someone to level with, although our levels and factions are pretty spread out atm. We have people form level 3 all the way up to veteran ranks.

Send me a PM or add me to friends / whisper me / mail me in game @Athravan

This might be faction specific, because on the DC side there are literally 4 quests to 50 that aren't working at this time. Not sure about other factions.

Desperate Souls is now a greyed out quest for me because it's bugged for 98% of everyone, and Divine Favor is still bugged and uncompletable. Both these on the Ebonheart side, Stonefalls area. That's at least 2 within the level 7-15 range.


Just because you haven't ran into bugs doesn't mean they don't exist.

He said major bugs which is why I asked. I have quest bugs too that are annoying and are grey, but I don't consider that major by any means.

[Greevir]

ah jes

Because all other MMO's had a perfect and smooth launch. And there were no issues at all for weeks to come.

I didn't say they don't know how to make a game. They don't know how to run one. The biggest thing outside of the game itself a MMO needs is communication. Something Zenimax seems to completely blow at.

No access code por moi!

I'll just go for a smoke. Maybe this small patch fixed the annoying "an unknown error occurred" and "requesting character load" things... One can only hope.

I'm a sad breton templar...

The one fix I was looking for in the patch notes I didn't find. That was the random "rollbacks" you would get on your character.

Ye, they have some... uh... issues.

Wonderful design. XD

Here is video about it:

Idk, I don't really see that as bad game design but more akin to shitty players. Grouping with random schmucks will do that. Group with friends!

I would like the abilty to hide the UI and still be able to type emotes. Right now, if you hide the UI you can't type at all unlike in WoW for example, you hide the UI but you could still type an emote.

I guess we just differ on what a major bug is. I guess it boils down too, how many quests need to be bugged before they should be fixed.

Big one to me is that a fair number of people still can simply not play the game. They will be disconnected every few minutes with the message "An unknown error has occurred". So far, while they have asked for details from people effected by this, there has been no word on a cause or fix. It is ISP based, not account based. Meaning that if it effects someone, it will always effect any user on their network but may work fine for them from another internet location.

This problem has existed since Beta but has gotten much more prevalent since early access.

My theory is that it has to do with users getting handed off to other instance servers. For what ever reason, when this happens the connection gets out of sync and dropped due to some firewall/routing problem.

Yeah that is something I would consider major, and would be pissed if it happened to me.

[Moropo]

As mentioned above, they *seriously* need to work on their communication with the players...I'm not sure they understand the importance of this...

Also, I absolutely love this game. Just expressing my positive criticism. Wouldnt want the doom-sayers to jump on what I said with their only goal of bashing ESO.

[Deleted]

Got into the game , did a mage guild quest got an unknown error when porting back to the normal region, relogged and it happened again. Now its asking me for a key again-.-

[Sainur]

Tbh, their communication isn't any worse than other companies.

Blizzard has had many server issues, especially a while ago. Their servers went completely bonkers for a long time, and every time it happens, Blizzard goes: "We are working on resolving the issue, bla bla bla, thank you for your patience."

Still, when blizzard servers are up, I am able to play the game. Not so with ESO so far. I get booted during loading screens pretty much every time with unknown error, i am forever stuck at requesting character load and it just sometimes, randomly, lets me through.

Luckily I can get a refund though.

The only errors i'm experiencing are issues with uncompletable quests and I've been playing nearly a week now :/

i think at the most I have seen like 5k viewers on Twitch. I know thats probably not a very good way to tell how good a game is. But that seems very very low. The only time it ever shot up was when Towillee was streaming and I think he only played one night when it first went live. Hell Pokemon gets more viewers and Id rather eat my gun than watch someone play Pokemon so i guess that shows how bad ESO is. Not that I needed any reason to hate the game considering Beta was a horrible experience. I had more fun in SW:ToR beta and that game was terrible.

Exactly the same but I did a fighters guild quest.

Wtf? "This account does not have an active subscription. Please visit the account management page to renew your account"

When I get there it says I have 30 days of game time, but I have to select a subscription plan? Which means I have to buy 30 days or more??
