  • GallerNathan Gamma_Spark (@GallerNathan) reported

    @PaulTassi That's why I got other games I played are way better like elder scrolls online Fallout 76 and final fantasy online way better games at least they can fix their game I give them so much praise not like I used to back in the day Bungie

  • DrgnProductions 🐲𝔏𝔲𝔠𝔞𝔰 𝔄𝔡𝔞𝔪𝔰🐲 (@DrgnProductions) reported

    @TESOnline I'm tired of ZOS's knee jerk reactions to the community, do your job and fix the bloody game.

  • ohxao . (@ohxao) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Wouldn’t be problem, if the maintenance actually did something

  • KenMastersUSA Ken Masters (@KenMastersUSA) reported

    @Dalton10778782 @TESOnline It's not coming from stealth that's necessarily the issue; it's not the initial hit. It's everything thereafter. Hell, NB's in PTS can brawl and get guaranteed crit just by sidestepping you.

  • ThePurrrple A Penny For Your Thots (@ThePurrrple) reported

    @TESOnline your recent updates have made the game unplayable. I freeze and crash every few minutes, I can barely get crafting dailies done. I know it's the game because I both uninstalled/reinstalled the whole game AND had my ISP refresh my internet at their end. FIX YOUR GAME.

  • Wiley53750457 Wiley (@Wiley53750457) reported

    @Aprilisbatgirl @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline No. They had to fix something to do with cp I believe

  • nb_rich B-Rich (@nb_rich) reported

    @dinokstrun @Trav2016 @TESOnline And this is another problem because in most parsing videos online everyone uses the same sets. When my friends and I were new we went and got ourselves the sets these youtubers use and game was boring. Why would I stress myself on content that has “useless” gear

  • Enundr1 Enundr (@Enundr1) reported

    @teknobane2 @TESOnline Mmmm they've done some pretty good stuff before , I remember that one argonian dlc area was a monthly login bonus , got the house in artaeum or whatever for free from an event....the psijic villa or whatever.

  • dinokstrun Doink (@dinokstrun) reported

    @nb_rich @Trav2016 @TESOnline That's another issue that has crept into the game and has become more prevalent since the hybridization changes. (again something nobody asked for). Everyone usually runs the same setups now, sure it's not different back in the day either but you had variety & class ID back then.

  • Wolfe_Moonheart LykUwUnos (@Wolfe_Moonheart) reported

    @TESOnline I’m not. I’m very unprepared. I was supposed to level up skills and fix up my ball group character for this midyear. My crown is going to reintroduce me to the ESO main quest line plz halp

  • cdrmpls cdrmpls (@cdrmpls) reported

    @Klocknernator @AlexIresq @JamesEricMason This means they are on a calendar of around 15 years between each Elder Scrolls and Fallout (single player) game. That’s just too long. Seems like the problem is with a business model that is unable to scale. Is it because Todd Howard has to be 100% in control of each game?

  • RichyBoiiii RichyBoii🤺 (@RichyBoiiii) reported

    @BethesdaSupport could you give me some help, I’ve been trying to launch elder scrolls online on my PS4 but I’m met with the same error message saying the connection to the server has timed out try again later, but when I stream the game it works fine.

  • pupthor24 Pup_Thor (@pupthor24) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline You need to fix the in game Voice Chat like years ago. That is the most broken thing in the game. One of the most important in a massive online game. The constant dropping or crashing of the game with no error codes or having the UI just glitches out as well. Get

  • FireWaIkWithJoe joe  (@FireWaIkWithJoe) reported

    @BrosephSZN u can announce youre in development with a game. i dont have an issue with that. in elder scrolls case it would be nice for a sort of update

  • JamesRh39594157 hitman 00J (@JamesRh39594157) reported

    @G27Status This is how I feel about fallout 5, elder scrolls 6 not coming to ps5. I really hope microsoft fix their drm

  • japanese_sauce Japanese Barbecue Sauce (@japanese_sauce) reported

    @elonmusk So glad you asked! Guild wars 2 Elder Scrolls online Hero’s and Generals I used to play Wow PvP seriously but I’m on break from my life as an Assassination Rogue and I’m not coming back until they fix Undecity! #Saveourcity

  • DouglastheQ DouglastheQuilava (@DouglastheQ) reported

    @ughidontknowman @zach_brown07 @Nintendeal I don't trust eBay anyways. every time i used ebay in the past my packages arrived broken. Nintendo DS Lite when I was younger? had it's battery removed and was filled with water. copy of Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion on xbox? arrived with the disc in pieces.

  • MyGeekJam Jaymondo (@MyGeekJam) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline was it really down for 8hours just to fix cp and some mail?

  • KenMastersUSA Ken Masters (@KenMastersUSA) reported

    @blackcat__loki @DrgnProductions @TESOnline I haven't even gotten into the fact that 20/30s timed HoTs/DoTs only tick every 2s; so in both PvP/PvE content mid-level players will die and it will FEEL like the game is lagging. "Why didn't my regen heal my through?! Why didn't my ground heal work!?" Because it didn't tick.

  • teknobane2 Jeremy Marcantel (@teknobane2) reported

    @TESOnline your daily login bonuses need to be better. Very disappointing.

  • JoshD1999 Josh (@JoshD1999) reported

    @Xbox Crash Bandicoot - Kart Racing (PS1) TLoU 2 Red Dead Redemption 2 Elder Scrolls Online (4000 ish hours) Hogwarts Legacy Minecraft

  • Trav2016 Trav2016_Official (@Trav2016) reported

    @TESOnline I just hate PvP in ESO. I get why they have it for financial reasons but it just has always been a drag on the community. PvP'ers never stick with the game long but do dump cash in the system. Screw lore have some invisible female dragons fix it. Is the new greedy motto.

  • Soplox NoHayNadie (@Soplox) reported

    @TheNCSmaster Yeah but since Microsoft bought Bethesda no more Elder Scrolls or DOOM or Fallout for Nintendo ever again. Same with Activision so no more Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, etc.

  • KenMastersUSA Ken Masters (@KenMastersUSA) reported

    @Dalton10778782 @TESOnline Oakensoul having Major Force is an issue, but .. NB's can hit the crit cap regardless. Hell, with Sea-Serpent's I'm at/near the cap with a MagSorc.

  • Poopikinz N/A (@Poopikinz) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can you fix control method B on PS4? You don't jump until you Release R3, rather than immidiately upon pressing the button. This issue persists even when remapping the controls through the console itself.

  • Trav2016 Trav2016_Official (@Trav2016) reported

    @dinokstrun @TESOnline I love PvP in other games like GW1 & 2, Transformers 1 & 2, Old COD, etc. My main problem is now the skill leveling kills it. I'm 1500+CP on both servers with 36 toons. The back & fourth "We are making everything fair" while always giving the edge to certain builds is my problem.

  • GentlemanJunkie Gentleman Junkie (@GentlemanJunkie) reported

    @TESOnline I’m expecting that only 1 in 5 button commands will work, my Templar will have an 8’ spear and no atks, my snipe will only fire every 5 seconds, leap won’t target, frags won’t target, Immortals guild group will cause half our server to dc while suffering no lag ever.

  • ThePurrrple A Penny For Your Thots (@ThePurrrple) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Does that mean you're fixing the absolutely atrocious constant lag and crashes from the past three weeks? It takes me a bloody hour to just get my crafting dailies done.

  • RealDragonGirl Hi, I’m Holly 🏳️‍⚧️ (@RealDragonGirl) reported

    i know i just started elder scrolls online, and that ****** rules but i do wanna seriously try ff14 again i am SO ******* curious as to whats beyond realm reborn, but therein lies the problem

  • Klocknernator Valentina Kleckner (@Klocknernator) reported

    @cdrmpls @AlexIresq @JamesEricMason The issue with scale only matters if you *need* that franchise. Which to me seems particular. Why do you want more Elder Scrolls games that aren't like the previous ones? Why would you want them to be made by people who do not understand the games?
