  • General_Flores Jett Flores (@General_Flores) reported

    @Jax_Lazarus @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Maintenance is a regularly scheduled thing. Do you clean your house or leave everything to pile up until it causes a problem? Do you take a **** or piss or wait til it causes health complications?

  • Trippcapp RP (@Trippcapp) reported

    @TESOnline The greatest loss so far is the potential of the update 35 combat changes hitting the live server. It has been one big jumble of changes that have hundreds of problems that are bad for the entire playerbase. There is still time. Please revert the pts u35 combat changes entirely

  • vialoftoxin vialoftoxin (@vialoftoxin) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Wyress Ashtah broken in PC can't continue Main Quest when will you fix

  • D_Rails01 Damion (@D_Rails01) reported

    @XxHybridFreakxX @TESOnline Haven’t had lag all event but that’s just my experience

  • GunnTheReaper 💀𝕲𝖚𝖓𝖓𝕿𝖍𝖊𝕽𝖊𝖆𝖕𝖊𝖗💀 (@GunnTheReaper) reported

    @Victor_Lucas The problem lies with them picking and choosing. They decided against doing that with Elder Scrolls when Skyrim is one of the highest selling games of all time and is still being played by millions over a decade later. New IP Exclusivity i'm fine with but not existing IP's.

  • AmelioZachary Zachary D'Amelio (@AmelioZachary) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I have a problem with the fallout 76 mother of invention bot’s that stuck in the container and all can you fix it please

  • dropsofvervain Alana ☮️🏠 (@dropsofvervain) reported

    @jmbidace @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Pretty sure the terms and conditions explain that ESO occasionally goes down for maintenance and during that time Bethesda/Zenimax cannot be held accountable. It is entirely up to you if you want to continue paying for their monthly service, you made that choice, deal with it.

  • MarioMa26255426 Mario Mario (@MarioMa26255426) reported

    @TESOnline @JHartEllis Skyrim jpn mod server fix RTM please

  • JackisaTweeter Jack (@JackisaTweeter) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @XboxSupport @TESOnline Do you want to fix your faulty hardware/ software or have your kind customer service harassed daily by me? The choice is yours.

  • MarioMa26255426 Mario Mario (@MarioMa26255426) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Mod fix it now

  • wizardofkanto Wizard of Kanto (@wizardofkanto) reported

    @jeremylim79 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline It literally says when there will be maintenance on the login screen for ESO 24 hours before it happens

  • iZerTex420 iZerTex (@iZerTex420) reported

    @TESOnline The servers on console are HORRIBLE. Please fix the ASAP! I have two account’s on 2 different platforms (PS & XBOX)

  • dropsofvervain Alana ☮️🏠 (@dropsofvervain) reported

    @jmbidace @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline It's not theft if you willingly pay for that monthly service. Asking Bethesda/Zenimax to refund you because of your impatience is laughable.

  • 1GrumpyOldGamer 🔥 Advent Fire 🔥 (@1GrumpyOldGamer) reported

    @TESOnline I find ESO to be a mostly solo player game with a group social. The PvP I find to be pretty much a joke. For those who can PvP with no problem, good for you. Its hard to find a good group these days, much less a decent alliance that isn't just a bunch of "die hard" douches.

  • KalenWolfe_ KalenWolfe 🇺🇲 (@KalenWolfe_) reported

    @TESOnline Go in to do one quest for the tickets. The pvp is an abysmal lag fest. No one teams up, they just solo together. It's a joke. Same with IC. No banding together, no coordination even when you clearly out number them. 3 of 15 rush in the other 12 turn and scurry like roaches.

  • KenMastersUSA Ken Masters (@KenMastersUSA) reported

    @DwemerAutomaton @TESOnline It's a step in the right direction; but, now we're running into a different problem. We won't see most of the class changes until Week 5. Week 5 out of 6 weeks? So, a lot of these changes will only see a 2 weeks of testing. Why rush these changes out?

  • baconflavortaco Grifter_45 (@baconflavortaco) reported

    @nb_rich @TESOnline Exactly my issue too - I really only use my spammable on weaker enemies because dungeon and trial bosses are just constant AoE rotations

  • JackisaTweeter Jack (@JackisaTweeter) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @XboxSupport @TESOnline Halfway through an update my series s shut off and has not been able to turn on since. It is a $200 charge to send it for repair and I refuse to pay this due to it happening during a mandatory update. I will harass your customer service dailv till this is fixed.

  • ThePigeonFish Blackbird/PigeonFish (@ThePigeonFish) reported

    @fuzz_n_fluff @aurora_smiles_ @SrGrafo2 You mean like Twitter? Or Final Fantasy XIV? Or Warframe? World of Warcraft. Elder Scrolls Online. Twitch. Basically EVERY other online game or service with a report function? 😑

  • ChrisOM78989977 Chris OMalley (@ChrisOM78989977) reported

    @TESOnline yo zenimax, I am getting really sick of your maintenance every 3 days that lasts for 6 plus hours. Just fix your game and leave it fixed. You are wasting my life and my time

  • boogalo27861029 boogaloo (@boogalo27861029) reported

    @BethesdaSupport Playing Elder Scrolls blades on the switch. Says there is a mandatory update but switch says that it is updated to latest version. How can I fix this?

  • jmbidace Afterworldstudios 3D (@jmbidace) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Brahs, we are paying for a monthly service for the days you take that service away you will need to refund us or else it is theft thank you very much eso!

  • BeefCheeser George (@BeefCheeser) reported

    @LeadedInk @eredean The Elder Scrolls Adventures : Redguard has surprised me with it's well written and acted, characterful dialogue and decent worldbuilding, aside from the technical issues and lacklustre gameplay it is a decent video game

  • lmlRodrigoX Rodrigo 🇲🇽🤠 (@lmlRodrigoX) reported

    @Ceaser462 @McTankBlaster @Main_Valkyrie_2 Or you can also take into account that, the service will grow if people follow CoD and other ABK franchises, or Bethesda franchises for that matter, Starfield and Elder Scrolls are yet to release...

  • GentlemanJunkie Gentleman Junkie (@GentlemanJunkie) reported

    @no_retreatx @SirReptilia666 @TESOnline I do both, but I didn’t for the first year I played. I hate BGs so I choose not to play them. PvP is a different animal for sure, but ZOS pretty much ignores it except for a couple times a year... go into Cyrodiil to see how bad the lag is and you’ll see how little they care.

  • jeremylim79 Jeremy (@jeremylim79) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Does your maintenance have a fix day and a fix start to end time? Or is just as when you like to announce an hour before maintenance?

  • mweis200 mweis (@mweis200) reported

    So, I manage to get the first Elder Scrolls to run without issues, but Oblivion doesn’t want to play along at all

  • NocturnlDragoon Nocturnal_Dragoon (@NocturnlDragoon) reported

    Elder scrolls online is harder than I expected. Everyone says templar is so easy but to me mine runs so slow. He can't cast a lot of magic cuz he runs out of power... Ugh life of a noob who has not much gold I finally got food for my character but his gear is probably a problem

  • technoxcookie MrsNukov ☢️ (@technoxcookie) reported

    I literally can’t stick to one game at the moment. I’ve started Assassins Creed origins. Then stopped. Tried Stardew Valley. Stopped (nobody else wants to play it) I keep going back to The Witcher 3. Then back to Elder Scrolls Online. Why is my brain so broken.

    @chillSunfire @Ell_o_Punk @TESOnline Well I get up and walk away and do some reading on a book, go play with my daughter, play chase with my dogs, even put together a lego set. I realize I can't fix all problems even the layer 8 ones. I'm a family man first.
