Main Thread for Long Loading Screens

$
0
0
Hello everyone,

We’re creating this thread so there’s a central place to have discussions and provide updates on the long loading screens that many of you have been experiencing. We know this issue is extremely frustrating, and for some, is preventing you from playing all together. We’re doing everything we can to get this fixed as quickly as possible, and have made it a top priority for our engineers. Our QA team has been testing various scenarios so we can collect as much data as possible, including hopping in and out of PvE zones, dungeons, Trials, Cyrodiil, and Battlegrounds, all with varying amounts of players (we’re utilizing bots for situations requiring higher numbers). We’ve also been able to pin down a solid reproducible case for us to investigate that our own Game Director Matt Firor was encountering.

As of now, our only update is that our engineers and programmers are still working to pin point exactly what’s causing this. Until we know, we won’t be able to put in a fix. As for what you can do to help…
  • Let us know which system and megaserver you’re on if you’re currently having this issue.
    • If you’re on PS4, please specify if you’re on a regular PS4 or PS4 Pro.
    • If on Xbox, please specify if you’re using an Xbox One, Xbox One S, or Xbox One X.
    • If you’re a PC player, let us know what sort of processor you’re running.
  • Is there any specific area or zone you consistently see a long loading screen?
  • What are you doing when you experience a long loading screen?
    • I.e.: Using a wayshrine, resurrecting, looting, etc.
  • Are you utilizing any sort of SSD?
  • If you play on Xbox, is the game installed on the internal hard drive or an external hard drive?
  • If you’re on PS4, are you using the first party hard drive or a replacement?
Thanks for your patience on this, everyone. To reiterate, our priority right now is fixing this issue as soon as we can. We’ll provide updates in this thread as we receive them.


Many progression guilds advertise they need DPS "> 35K". Good bye sorcs?

It's some days I am looking for a decent (not necessarily top) trials progression guild.
Most of those that are above mediocre, demand DPS > 35K.

Maybe they aren't aware that before Dragon Bones, you'd have basically Youtubers (using cheese parse builds) and end game fully geared, skilled players being able to achieve that.
It was perhaps 1% of the DPS playerbase, considering an abysmally tiny amount of people run veteran+ trials anyway.

Since several months, mag sorcs have received a number of nerfs, and since Dragon Bones, mag sorcs have lost again from 2 to 5k DPS due to off-balance changes.

Basically now Youtubers barely break 36-37k - and they are still using cheese builds nobody can use in trials. What about the others? Whereas I know a LOT of nightblades in my guilds who boast their 44k+ self buffed DPS, I don'tknow A SINGLE sorc spamming anything. The average do 25k even on veteran, the good ones do 30k, the top ones 35k => an handful of them.

Coming to this forum, all you see are NBs showing their 40k DPS peformance asking how to increase it, others who post a video of their 44k+.
And plenty of "I can't get to 25k DPS" sorc threads, with people giving advice about how to scratch 30k. In the last weeks I have found all of 1 (one) guy showing a video of himself doing > 35k DPS.

So, my question is: after Dragon Bones, if you want to join a good progression guild you basically have to shelve your mag sorc and join as "stam something" or a magblade?

Because there are more progression guilds than mag sorcs able to fulfill their minimum DPS requirement.

P.S. I expect this post to get either totally ignored (@ZOS_GinaBruno please prove me wrong) or flamed.

Before you flame, prove me you are real.
Post your Dragon Bones, non cheese, non Lover stone 40K DPS video on your sorc and then come school me.

Just curious to see how many of you all are guildless by choice and for what reasons?

Arctic Wind and Morphs. How good is it?

Was thinking off making a MAG Warden a mostly Offensive Tank and Off-Healer with 2 Frost Staves (one for casual RP and one for Dungeons) and I was thinking of using the Arctic Wind with the Arctic Blast Morph, but I wonder how good it is and how much Health do I need to make it work effectively?

Insta killing NB

Does anyone of you have ever experienced kinda situation: 3 players flipping a flag in IC. Enemy NB comes outta stealth and kills first player who was stunned till death. Enemy NB ambush on second player and kills him in 2 seconds. Player 3 intervenes but got killed within a 2 seconds combo. All players were cp720 and experienced pvpers. How is this possible? Legit? Only possible with AC?

fourth skill trees for classes

$

Just for fun: come up with a fourth skill tree for each class that expands on areas the class may be lacking in while maintaining the identity and flavor of that class.

My suggestions:

warden - nature's wrath
A plant-based damage tree. This could include things like summoning a spriggan, strangers that pull in and damage enemies, vines or roots that hinder and damage opponents, etc.

nightblade - illusion
A skill tree focused on manipulating enemies. Could include classic spells like frenzy, charm, confusion, paralysis, etc.

dragon knight - primal voice
A Thu'um or shout based skill tree bringing back some classics from skyrim. Fus'ro'dah!

Sorceror - kinetic combat
An alteration and mysticism inspired skill tree focused on physical damage, empowering your weapons, telekinesis and shockwaves, and debuffing enemies. Could be very much geared towards stamina sorcs.

Templar is the only one I don't have any good ideas for, so open to suggestions there.

Should there be a CP catch up mechanic? Should we be able to buy them?

As the champion point cap is gradually raised the casual players are left feeling like they are in a never-ending grind to catch-up. Why not offer an alternative similar to EVE Online? EVE Online allows you to purchase skillpoints for your character. Why not allow players in ESO to buy "Champion Packs" on the Crown Store similar to mount speed and inventory space?

Login Failed: Connection to server timed out & Other login errors

I've never had an issue logging into ESO in the years-time I've owned it on PS4, all of a sudden last night I started getting these login errors.

Gave it some time, got in later without issue, and played for 2 ish hours.


This morning/afternoon, same thing has happened. This is completely out of the blue and nothing seems to fix it.

"Login failed Connection to server timed out, please try again later"

It is not my internet, I'm able to do anything else.

It is not PSN. I am logged in, and I can see friends online doing other things.

The Merchant's Reserve is recruiting! We are an established trading guild with 480+ members. Stable guild trader kiosk in the city of Daggerfall and a casual, relaxed atmosphere. Weekly giveaway prizes and raffles.

While members are encouraged to actively sell and participate in the weekly fundraiser raffle, there are no mandatory dues, quotas, or other requirements. This is because I feel strongly that, at the end of the day, ESO is a game and should not feel like work.

If you're interested, please respond in this thread with your in-game account name, or send an in-game whisper to @code65536 (my mailbox is often full, though, so whispers or thread replies are usually better).

Unsure if this is a bug so asking in general first.

Our healer drops it but we don't see the Synergy, same before patch as now. Xbox EU.

Does it only prompt when you are low health or?

@tasear think you had a similar question recently?

Heist randomly yields empty dungeon

Sometimes when starting a heist, I get into a map where every single container is empty, there are no loose things to pickup, there are no traps, etc. There are still enemies, however. This tends to also happen when respawning to a wayshrine instead of with a soul gem in any kind of delve/dungeon/etc.

Gotta love this community!

So, yesterday I logged in and found a group of players playing flutes together at Vulkhel Guard.
I took my pants and chest off and began to dance. Soon, more people began to show up and there was this guy that named me "the tiny dancer".

Someone recorded it and put on youtube:

Requesting Character Load ... 12/17/2017

What is going on today? Unable to log into any characters on the NA server. Game loads normally to the character select screen, but when I pick a character to log into, the REQUESTING CHARACTER LOAD window pops up and then nothing. No errors, no codes, just that little spinning icon.

What gives?

Here an NB, there an NB, Everywhere an NB!

Was playing in BGs last night. I thought to myself, "sure is a lot of NBs in here..."

Checked the players, out of the 12, 7 were NBs
Next match 6 of the 12 NBs
Next match 7 again were NBs
Next match 8 were NBs.

Slotted flare...

But, I remember ZoS being all about how many players use what and where.

Can't help but think there maybe a balance issue when over 50% of the playing field is one class while there are 5 available.

Do you see what I'm seeing?

Requesting char load = new infinite loading screen?

$

I've seen time to time the infinite load screen ppl talk about in past but not often enough to complain about.

But lately I seem to get an infinite 'Requesting character load' message when logging off one character from a stable game sessions, to an alt. Pure random whether I will get it or not.

Fix is easy, just close eso64 client program, relaunch and I'm fine usually (sometimes get request char load infinite screen again but again same fix).

No idea if ZOS login servers are just swamped, some other resource constraint, but it seems getting worse lately.

The Game Is Too Hard For New Players!

$
0

I'm a new player, but I don't know how much longer I'll keep playing. This game is just too hard and punishing for new players.

As an example, I've never before played a game that killed me in the starting tutorial (which is what happened to me when I faced the first quest boss).

This game is brutal!

But don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about normal mobs like wolves and bandits, they're fine. No, I'm talking about quest bosses. They're impossible!

Well, to make a long story short, it slowly began to dawn on me that I needed the best gear I could get (even at level 5). Nothing else mattered, not my class, not my skills, nothing! All that matters is my gear. It's the single most important thing in the game. Without good gear, the game is unplayable!

But how was I supposed to get good gear? I couldn't craft or buy it (there's no low level gear for sale in the Guild Traders).

Well, I thought I'd found the answer. I discovered that locked chests in the starter zones dropped pieces of the 'Armor of the Trainee' set. So for the next few hours I did nothing but farm chests. And I did it! I managed to find 5 'Heavy' pieces of the set.

OMG! The difference it made was game changing. I felt like a God! I could solo anything!

I figured I had this thing beat. Every few levels, I'd just go back to the starter zones, farm some more chests and keep my armor up to date. I planned to do this all the way up to level 50.

But the game had other ideas. At level 20, the set simply stopped dropping. No matter how many chests I opened. Not a single piece!

It was time to start crafting (whether I wanted to or not).

So that's where I'm at now. My leveling has slammed to a stop. For over a week now I've done nothing but craft. I haven't killed a single mob or completed any quests. The whole game is on hold until I can craft a new set of armor. And to be honest, I'm bored out of my mind.

The thought of endlessly grinding out my crafting levels (just so I can continue to play) is horrifying. I just want to play the game!

But after only a couple of weeks, I'm completely burned out and exhausted. There has got to be a better way than this!
