The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Shifty_Chicken (@chicken_shifty) reported@K__Med Elder Scrolls 6 will be on PS5/6. Why? Paid mods from the creator club thing. Heavy micro transactions of any kind are Service games...I suspect.
-
FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reportedIf the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.
-
Dan (@dan_mphillips) reported@Colteastwood The only winning move by Xbox is going back to full exclusivity except for live service games and Call of Duty and Minecraft Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Diablo, Crackdown, Dishonored, Starfield, etc all exclusive would sell boxes. PC a year delayed
-
Arch Mage Magnus (@Magicka313) reported@bethesda You guys seriously piss me off. You have elder scrolls and fallout fans who have been starving for a single player experience for YEARS, but you insist on doubling down on these ******* service games. Stop. Read the room.

HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@TESOnline Trash mode fix your game
-
Dannydangersenpai (@dannyboywood1) reported@TESOnline Why can't I sign in, I apparently already downloaded everything
-
❄️Albby❄️ (@WeissKnight_) reportedIf you dont expect Fallout76 or Elder scrolls online after the bethesda presents you are stupid Its the same every ******* year with those live service games
-
K.D. (@choco_celt) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What extra things got broken on the consoles this time?
-
HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@TESOnline @NathanBishop0 Night market is trash fix your game
-
Marielle Redclaw (@MarieleRedclaw) reported@NikTek They do one at a time The thinking among the fans for a long time is that they really need to split into separate teams independently handling Elder Scrolls, Fallout and now Starfield. Maybe a fourth team who does nothing but fix bugs and do feature updates to the Creation Engine.
-
⛩️JacobLibtardDestroyer⛩️ (@GchimpinoutBUSH) reported@gamer5695 @charlieINTEL The 2.0 didn't help them it was still crap, the engine isn't even the problem with Bethesda it's the devs and Todd Howard they don't know how to make good games anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if elder scrolls 6 is a MMO and they continue with the slop.
-
MHM (@MrHooboMaster) reported@YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)
-
Jeff (@Sylar_N7) reported@OtterRuin @TESOnline he issue is not my original statement, but that you don't understand my original statement. I don't know how to explain it any easier for you bud. Right now in 2026 the 4 original classes and weapons have ALL THE SAME SKILLS. No innovation at all. Boring AF
-
Neon Bird Games (@NeonBirdGames) reported@GameOverThirty @HoegLaw Case in point: Elder Scrolls VI Most people are already jumping on the idea it’d fall under the “single player, therefore exclusive” idea, but Bethesda games are really more broad platforms themselves with mods and such like a “live service” would be
-
Christopher Williams (@ChrisContinues) reported@stormfall33 PlayStation’s issues seem easy to point out. For Xbox, though, it feels like it needed tough leadership that mandated specific titles. The idea of buying the Elder Scrolls and Fallout IP and over the course of 5 years doing nothing with it is insane.
-
BRAD (@BradGoesLivee) reported@TESOnline In Gray Host till the end no matter how bad the lag is 🥹
-
Elgacnilloc06 (@Elgac161406) reported@TESOnline Even better I get dealt cards in my next hand where the player is 100% able to win because they turn all tribute there direction. ESO / Devs know this is a total absolute crock! FIX THE GAME and make it fair!
-
Nomadic Reply (@nomadicreply) reported@Grummz The industry keeps acting confused while the answer is right in front of them. Fallout 76 and ESO soaked up years of time and resources while fans have been begging for a new Elder Scrolls. Most players don’t want endless live service slop, cash shops, and seasonal grinds. They want the next great RPG. Stop giving people what investors want and start giving them what gamers actually asked for.

theganoosh (@theganoosh1) reported@Grummz Todd needs to go.. he is the problem … elder scrolls and fallout have outgrown him .. there’s genius teams stifled by him that exist
-
Ash Witch (@AshPizzaWitch) reported@ShitpostRock2 There's a lot honestly for me FF7-9 Ape Escape 1 Original 3 Spyro and Crash Chrono Trigger Armored Core 1 Star Fox Super Mario World StarCraft Warcraft Original Sonic 1-2 Original God of War 1-2 FF X Pokemon Gold/Silver Halo 1-3 Elder Scrolls Morrowind

Foxhound_N10 (@Foxhound_N10) reported@TESOnline Also, @TESOnline, one thing I’d like to see change for the future. There's one huge problem in Grayhost Cyrodill, and it dulls the game. NOBODY WANTS TO DIE, and I'm not talking about coordinated ball groups; I'm talking about other solo players where eight people are chasing them, and they can not only wipe all of them but heal through everything. I'm a solo and a fight die repeat, no biggie. But the endless chases where one person can stop play so we can’t move on to something new are annoying. If they are good to 1 v 3, fine, but NOT entire armies for one person. Make some bunker buster sets and mythics, please and thanks :)
-
Redders (@ReddersTV) reported@lrbrazao @asha_shar They've gone the Live Service route, they'll milk that **** for all it's worth. You won't be seeing a new Fallout or Elder Scrolls any time soon, when they can keep milking you on DLCs and Microtransactions.
-
🇵🇷 (@Zerminator_) reported4. EXCLUSIVITY TALK (PART 1): Xbox-Original single-player franchises (Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable) stay exclusive while Xbox-acquired franchises and multiplayer games (Elder Scrolls, COD, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Crash) remain multi-platform. Don't care. Talk to the wall. (4/?)
-
fromsoftserve (@fromsoftserve) reported@thunderba11r I mean, elder scrolls 6 is the game they’re working on right now and have been for some years. I think the issue was announcing it waaaaaay too early. I also don’t blame them for trying something different with starfield, even if it didn’t totally pan out how they wanted.
-
Bisssccy (@Blockmaster77) reported@VexTheSunEater @BethesdaStudios I don't think I even want an Elder Scrolls 6. Just take a look at the Oblivion remaster. It was full of bugs and performance issues not to mention the weird uncanny redesign of khajiits. As a fan I rather them retire Elder scrolls or sell it.

HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@TESOnline Nothing till u fix your game

Screams-About-Politics (Farmtool) (@Biggistfatgoose) reported@BerdlyGuy @fambramb Uhm? what? Sweet rolls are kind of an iconic food in elder scrolls even then I barely hear them still, NOW DELTARUNE can't stop making ******* spamton jokes thats the big issue here
-
cjBloodwyn (@Chris_J_Harding) reported@SpeedGod_CDN @PaulTassi Imagine they made these franchises exclusive in the future: Elder Scrolls Fallout Skylanders Crash Bandicoot Guitar Hero Tony Hawk DOOM Wolfenstein Blade Spyro Of course there are others, but that would make a hell of a statement.

Foxhound_N10 (@Foxhound_N10) reported@TESOnline @TheJackalAgenda What I want to see happen with ESO as the game continues to evolve is the pure classes actually to FEEL Close to the lore. Each should have a key strength and weakness. The entire combat system should revolve around that, not a meta. A Sorc should be the king of ranged AOE/Bombs, weak up close, or no shields. A Nightblade should be the king of single-target damage and deleting any player (burst), scaled from their health/armor if they take the time to hunt undetected. But it's the sacrifice of being a glass cannon. An Arcanist should be the king of ranged single-target damage. And a Dragonknight should be the king of toe-to-toe battles, one-on-one, but not as bursty, but very strong defensively, as the standard well-balanced of all, but not superior to the rest. Right now, you have kill screens filled with me, too, DKs, and it's like watching the Clone Wars in Cyro. But each of these characters should be a toolbox in its own right for vet players. Is there a necro tank that refuses to die? Grab the Arcanist beam to the face, huge DOT, and problem solved. Are there nightblades all over the little village? Grab the sorc and start raining huge AOE’s to reveal and drop. A pesky Templar that won't go down? Grab the Dragonknight. But the combat system has felt for years like it was tailored to the sets and mythics rather than to specific characters to upgrade your toolkit. I was deeply disappointed in this video when Asmon who I enjoy flat out walked away from camera for two whole minutes during your game showcase. Then I had to look up why. And apparently, he criticized the combat system in 2019, saying it was clunky and dropped the game entirely, though he noted it was beautiful. That should concern you. These things should make sense to the average player. Feel like a quiet solo night hunting alone? Nightblade. Feel like brawling it out in a fistfight with a large group. DK. Want to try ranged bombing? Arcanist. But tie it all together, please make the story and the battles make sense with the combat instead of making one way overpowered character (DK), everyone copies, and you get the same kill screen. Otherwise, you are going to turn average NEW players away, and I really love this game a lot to go forever, especially all the friends I've made :) See where I'm going? I don't want to play the meta, I want to play what fits my playstyle and themes for that mood. Why wouldn't a High Elf magika Sorc be the best for PVP instead of stamina? So keep going, EVEN if it ruffles the feathers of the sweaties who don't want change or to keep it the same old same. Those people retire and need to be replaced over time anyway, and you want to sell more shinys, right? Please pass it on @TESOnline

G2ThaUNiT (@G2ThaUNiT) reported@HazzadorGamin I saw a post from George Broussard from 3D Realms/Apogee that layoffs at Zenimax have already started and that any studio not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout are out. God I hope that's NOT true!!!
