12 hours for me to download, so sad!

Just as I was saying in another thread today that my download speeds are almost always great through PSN unlike many others. This one was showing me 16 hours. But after doing a connection test and then pausing it several times for a few minutes it really sped it up and downloaded it in under 2 hours.
At first I was just pausing/unpausing and it wasn't doing a thing. So maybe give that a try.
Interesting to hear the other side of the argument thanks! I guess they are just trying to break away from the standard MMO mould and do things different. At least it is working for some people

I also have the PS4 version and it took me about 90min to download the patch. Like the Xbox One patch, it does wonders for the lag and hitching in cities/towns where there are a lot of people running around.

Yes and on PS4 a PSN subscription.
Just popped on my ps4, was hoping this download would be shrunk down to 500mb by the time I got home
When it first started it said 30 hours but 30 seconds later it said only 5
Looks like I won't be playing tonight
Edit: apparently a 2 gig planer side 2 patch is downloading as well, maybe that's why it's so slow

actually, believe it not, you DO NOT need a plus subscription for Elder Scrolls Online.
My friend told me about it, said his sister plays it and she doesn't have a plus account. So i was like, "nigga you bullshittin."
So I made a whole new account on my PS4, signed it up for a PSN account(not plus) and holy shit, it fucking worked.....loaded the game and played a few minutes in the prison and saw other players and everything I was like WHOA.
I dont own a Xbox so i have no idea about that.
But yo, real talk, does this shit happens to anyone else because its been happening to me A LOT and its really pissin me off.
The fucking boss battles would just randomly reset the battle right when they are about to die. I have to fight some bosses multiple times because they keep resetting when they are about to die.
And don't even SPEAK to me with that bullshit about being too far from the boss. You got eyes, you see those gifs.

As long as you have one account on your PS4 with plus any other account on it has access to online play.

How do you create an forum account on the official forums???
When I try to log in with the same credentials I use to sign into the game with, its says no such account exist, yet i can request a password reset, and when i reset the password, my account still doesnt work.
I go to create a new account, its asking for an invitation code.....wtf is that??? Man I just wanna report my fucking problems with this game. its pissin me off.

Did you ever get an email when you made your ESO account saying a forum account was created for you too? I got one when I did and it had a link in it to activate my account for the forums.

yup, Already done that. Thats how i was able to request a password reset. And even then, my account still won't work.

Yeah PSN downloads are a joke ATM. Just pause/resume over and over until you get a good server. It works eventually and gives good speed but will likely go slow again before it finishes. I had to trick the download up to high speed 3 times to get it finished yesterday.

... Wait, that's all you need to do to make it go faster? Wow, lol. It's a fix to something that really shouldn't happen in the first place, but thanks very much anyway!
Yeah, I wasn't getting any stuttering in Glenumbra a few minutes ago even running through on my horse. Seems like a big improvement there.

Quoting myself because of course it happened!!!! I've never had any downloads not begin while my PS4 was in rest mode, what gives?
I hit level 13 yesterday and decide to queue up for Spindleclutch. I was in queue for about 45 minutes before I got off. I queued up as dps and figured there would be a wait, but 45 mins seems like a long time. Maybe it was because it was at noon. I still feel like I should've been able to find a group in less time than that.

No stuttering but takes an age for all the player skins to load in. Looks like a ninja convention when you 1st get there.

No worries man. Updates usually hit for me in rest mode too but this one didn't. It also took like 10 hours.
I didn't really experience that, but my PS4 has an SSD now, and it wasn't exactly prime time either. Still, I'll take it over the stuttering either way if it does happen.

Is the XB1 update only a few mb's?

You absolutely can share it between two accounts. It works just like any other PS4/XB1 game.
In other words, one digital purchase can let two people on two separate PS4s play at the same time.
Things like the Imperial upgrade and any-race-any-alliance upgrade are treated as in-game collectibles, so these have to be purchased for each gamertag/username.
We don't know for sure yet, but if DLC, such as the upcoming Imperial City, is handled the same way, then you're going to have to buy it twice.
That is great news!!! Thanks
So crafting seems fun but is it a good idea to take up any on my main character or should I have multiple characters for crafting? Maybe focus on 2 types on each?
I kind of want to have a character for each class but im not really enjoying the quests all that much so I'm not sure if I'm going to want to do it again 3 times.

well if it draws attention to the shitty PSN speeds since fimware 2.0 then ok.

Start/Stop of the update seemed to help me, but I just ended up going to bed.
I purchased ESO + mainly because of the XP boost, with a hectic work schedule the few times I play, the exp boost may actually help.
Does anyone know exactly how much of an XP/Crafting boost you get from ESO+ ?

Best thing to do is just wait outside the dungeon and wait for randoms to show up and ask them to group with you. They're usually there for the same thing. The group finder sucks.
I'm not sure, I don't have one but I think I read that it was around 500mb.
Ya that'll probably work better.

Anyone else's download going REALLY slow? Like not just a bit slow for PSN, but crawling? On the last GB and it wants to take 5 hours :| 20mb connection.
No one on my friends list that I play this with have played the game since the maintenance happened and the patch went up, as far as I know they are all still installing the patch. I hope they realise how stupid it is to put out a 15gb patch again, especially after everyone mines about it the first one.

I have 100/50 mbps internet and it literally took me like 18 hours to download the patch and that's even with pausing and resuming the download a few times trying to speed it up.
Just logged in to do the crafting stuff and pay for daily bag space, didn't get any lag or stutter. I had the area reload once I entered the crafting area of Daggerfall coming from the port, but everything was still smooth including the super crowded bank. True test will come this weekend but so far so good!

So I'm finally at a high enough level to get to the WW bite location and there are so many people there. I'm guessing I'm not going to get bit am I? They'll kill the WW and try to sell bites? lol

Go to your friends/group list and there should be an option to "teleport to player" or something along those lines when you click on your buddy.
