After the update:
- VR mobs have 50%-100% more HP/Damage, all except the ones added by Craglorn, those are actually weaker compared to the old lower VR mobs....
- game is freezing up and crashing for a lot of people
- character appearance was changed for some
- a new loading screen bug prevents many from playing
- some get no experience for completed quests
- many things should have been fixed but are not
- templar is getting delays on its most used/one of the most used abilities
- memory leaks
- achievements are gone for 2 of the 3 factions
- new mount bugs
- an entire PvP campaign was deleted
- new UI bug makes it unresponsive
- skill points missing
So yea... they should really hire testers....

From what I hear the patch was one of the worst my friends have experienced in their gaming lives. It kinda figures, given how many issues went unresolved prior to release. However, not fixing everything that was screwed up in one patch isn't really an issue. It's going to take them several months to get the game in the kind of shape it should have been in for release. The rest of the criticisms are more than fair, and actually leave out a couple things I've heard about like rollbacks and container proximity problems.

I needed a fresh download of 22 gigabyte and a 4 gigabyte patch before i could even start the game.
4 hours later.....
Loged in and was met with a infinite loading screen
4 times in a row
30 minutes later
Finaly in Cyrodiil ! freeze - freeze - freeze - freeze - crash - uninstalled totaly done with this failure of a mmo.
Forums are on fire !
Hope people unsub and let this mmo die with the rest of the mmo failures that dint made it.
Only people still playing after this month are the fanboys / the ignorant / and a few people that still might have a little hope the next patch will fix it.
What a mess this mmo is
We are not ignorants... i just used GTC`s but i`m trying to get a refund as this is... beyond bad.
I had no clue it will be so bad at launch AND only get worse after the first major patch....
Took a look at the site, and I find something really funny. The patch was a disaster, leaving the game in a worse state than it was pre-patch. NA patched yesterday, they had a day to realize how horrible it was. BUT THEY STILL PATCHED EU!! Wow. I'd be really pissed if I was an EU customer and Zenimax knowingly patched in gamebreaking issues. I can see arguing they should have rolled NA back to pre-patch if possible, but I don't think there's any debate that applying it to the EU server is a horrible decision.
If I go to Home Depot and buy paint, then discover after painting a room that it dries to a color that isn't what I anticipated - and looks like crap - I don't go and paint another room with that same color.

Oh the irony........
Good Luck with the refund.
I didn't expect that there could be so many bug fixes in a single patch and be bug free. What did they fix? 200 bugs or something? That's like 3 a day if they started right at launch, meaning any sort of testing wouldn't be deep integration testing. Probably just testing the symptoms to ensure they're gone. I guess I'll see what others have to say before I cast my final decision on whether it is as bad as it's made out to be or not.

Are you really saying i`m making it up?
Have a look here:
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/categories/EN-customer-support - Its their Official Customer Support forum.
http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/categories/EN-general-discussion - this is their General Discussion forum.
You will see all the problems listed + many more on the first pages with a lot of people saying the same thing.
So there you go... you have proof. What next?
Just wanted to point out that I'm generally an ESO defender, and I still read/post because I do plan on resubbing at some point in the future, if things ever get fixed. Actually, I'd say I'm an ESO realist. A fan of the game freely willing to point out the many flaws, but also voicing my opinion if I think people are treating it unfairly - like the "they didn't fix everything!" point above.

Just so you know i found another bug... tried to research my healing staff... it won`t let me, its greyed out. I did that a dozen times on many characters so i`m doing it all right, it just doesn`t work...
I`m not sure if its just me, if its server wide and so on... i can`t know so i won`t say "everyone has this bug" as that would be be a lie. But it is a new bug introduced by this patch.... yey.
That is fair. And I am not an ESO hater. I was going to buy until all of the problems popped up because I actually liked the beta.. Maybe it is getting some unfair hate but you have to admit this is one of the worse releases and launches out there. The game is not doing well right now. Who is going to keep subbing with issues like this. Even the hardcore fans leave after a while if things keep up at this pace....
I hope they do well, but right now the game is definitely not in the best place.
Its not unfair hate... i bought 6 months worth of GTC`s... i liked the game... but first i was stuck in the main quests, then my bank inventory vanished and i did not even get a reply to my ticket... then the bots invaded and i had to compete with them on my alt, then various other bugs like PvP buffs not applying, UI was showing i had 30% hp all the time with NO addon enabled, DW skills were making the game unresponsive and making you unable to do anything...
I could go on, there are many other bugs i personally experienced... but i think i`ve made my point. The game will be nice WHEN IT WILL ACTUALLY WORK... but right now any fun will be destroyed by bugs.
With polish it will be a decent game so i think you should wait for them to fix things(at this rate it will take 6-9 months, i`m guessing about the same time it releases on consoles) and get it... but wait unless you want to be a paying Game Tester....
That's not a bug. It's 2.5x increased - more than necessary, but it did need to increase some. I think it's overkill personally.

Quote from official notes:
I'm experiencing "most" of the things on that list plus a few more that aren't and so is almost everyone I know in game. Its unplayable to a large section of people.
Honestly, this is the first MMO that I actually pre-ordered and felt ripped off after reaching a certain level.
The vast majority of these bugs, the beta testers weren't able to experience. The betas were usually level capped to some extent and, at least for me, I didn't have many of my gaming friends playing with me. Also, I don't think Cryo was open when I was testing.
Is that a lot? Sounds like a lot.
Reminds me a bit of GW2 and their updates. When ever they added new content you should try to get through it in the first day or two, before ANet realized it was too easy and tightened the screws. Usually it meant fixing some exploits. So, if you are not VR10 yet it'll take just a smidge longer now to get there.
This is absolutely just sad. So many people at Zenimax working so hard I am sure. But I am certain this was pushed out, like the game too early. For a subscription based game they really need to work more on the content launch , test test test! This really came across to me as a knee jerk reaction to get things out there. Which in turn really turned all that hard work into crap. Which in turn seems par for the course for your new AAA game. Sigh I have flamed I know but i really hoped for the best in my heart. I will have to quote most people and say this game will be better 6 months down the road but at what cost then, very few subscribers?
But hey for a single player'esque MMO that may be just fine

Any graphical, audio, or gameplay restrictions not seen in other mmos but found in FFXIV can be blamed on one thing.

Ok so Im not a fanboi or anything, as Im not going to defend the game, but I havent had a single issue with the patch. Before you all go nuts, yes I do know the bugs are real. I have read the forums, and many, many people are being effected by the problems listed. They are very real, and will give you a very bad gaming experience if you encounter them.
All Im saying is that not everyons is effected by these issues. Sure it seems like a lot. Because there are hundreds of posts, but thats just because only the people having problems are the ones posting. For every post of one person having an issue, theres 100 people not having a single bug at all. Even the one quest I still had bugged from launch was now working, and I have completed Deshaan now.
The new campaign works fine for me, never had a load screen issue. My guild even ran the Archives raid last night. We wiped alot lol. Reset about 12 times (because you only have 36 lives, or 3 wipes per go). Never had the teleporters not work, even though its a known issue that sometimes they dont.
I dont know what to say. Maybe im touched by the MMO gods, but myself, my GF and the 42 other people in my guild have not encountered a single bug since the patch. Maybe you guys should app to my guild, as it seems we cant be effected by the plague rofl.
Anyone who complains about the VR mob changes obviously is a solo player. I've been playing with friends and I've had no problems at all killing groups of 10-15. We pull the entire camp and aoe em down XD I don't understand why people go solo in an MMO, when the whole purpose of an MMO is to be social.
The only other thing I've had happen, is in the zone The Rift. I got disconnected twice in a span of like 2 hours, which rolled me back like 4-5 minutes total. And it's nice to see my NB actually have the correct Critical Strike chance, makes our dps match that of sorc
I've only ever seen 1 One Uno ichi und bug since 5 day head start. Guess I'm just that lucky and awesome (=No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin

Never reason with a fanboy. You can have all the proof in the world and they'll never budge an inch on their love for the game. Even in the face of reason and sense.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
