Akkusativ (@Akkusativ1) reported@finnoreokastro Crunch is still a problem btw if you know anything about video game devs. Crunching for a company that will fire them after the game finishes. Elder scrolls 6 got announced in 2018 btw

Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

Morgaine (@Spell_Forged) reported@TESOnline If devs really want this game to survive you should add content players actually want not random bs and battle passes. Give us new races like Ka Po Tun, Tsaesci, Tang Mo, Dremora, Maomer… New classes instead of all the convoluted and unbalanced subclassing. Fix PVP Cloaks Etc

The Dreamsgon (@dreamsleever) reported@brockpierson Elder Scrolls Online, Skyrim or Morrowind or Oblivion, Mass Effect Legendary, Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077. The issue with doing it 12 hours a day if an MMO would be downtime due to maintenance!
-
Wazzupguys (@WazzupR2012) reported@ZikadaPrime Pulling PlayStation and Switch ports of Minecraft, Overwatch, Elder Scrolls and Call of Duty among others out of service would be able to help Xbox.
-
Trevor Rieger (@trevorriegerxxx) reportedThe Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered from Bethesda Softworks still suffers from severe technical issues including persistent crashes and performance degradation over a year after its April 22, 2025 launch.
-
mcgee (@marion_joe41896) reported@NikTek For elder scrolls 6, I feel like es6 will be absolute garbage especially after what they did too starfield, it wasn’t a cyberpunk but main did it have issues like the flying for example, and also the faction system in the game was soo awful like you literally do four quests and

cp pc (@belgian123) reported@TESOnline Unplayable lag everyday and now you want to do crossplay haahahahaha
-
onepiece (@onepiece9681) reported@vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game
-
Corvus (Taylor's Version) 🏳️⚧️ (@LegateCorvus) reported@Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.
-
Truong (@Get_In_Redmen) reported@TESOnline Please fix the issues with night market instances. Skirmishes are active but everyone I go to one 1 out of 5 times there not a single soul even though the group finder is full of them. I’m a solo player that don’t like to group. Am I SOL?

R̺͆o̺͆n̺͆n̺͆i̺͆e̺͆B̺͆l̺͆a̺͆z̺͆3̺͆ (@RonnieBlaz3) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline 10+ yrs. BG/Cyro servers has been absolutely atrocious on PC/NA! for that 10+ yrs we have asked for a fix to the lag and in some cases Full on freeze for a good 15-20sec. Instead of adding content to these servers how bout we actually fix it(Maintenance)

BattledadTV (@Sambei_Gaming) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline anyone else suddenly getting the 201 error?
-
sky_comet (@skycomet1) reported@foxgirlfrot you could fix me,,,,,, yapping about dumb elder scrolls lore while being held WOULD fix me
-
Stormermia (@StephenMcKellep) reported@TESOnline I would suggest for killing enemies in specific zones, please enable delves and public dungeons. This will prevent issues because over world mobs respawn so slowly and the campers are furious if anyone even looks at the mobs their camping.
-
Magic Sister (@magicmacabre) reported@alienteslax @TESOnline I’m on console and I don’t lag.
-
p5yman (@p5yman) reported@StarfieldGame Yeah. If the standard game crashes why would we add more crap to it . Fix your games bethesda .. fallout 4 crashes , fallout 76 crashes, elder scrolls online crashes , wtf are you lot doing ? If programming is hard , go work at McDonald's or would you **** that up
-
K' the Barbarian (@KtheBarbar46169) reported@JeffsawHomes @IGN All while removing CoD, the biggest game in the service, setting a 1 year window for it's release, which is pointless for a mostly online game that does yearly releases. This also sets a precedent for other large games to not be included Day 1. Elder Scrolls VI, Halo 7, E-Day?
-
Lone Wolf, Totally Original (@LoneWol10175595) reported@HexTheCatMeow sly cooper crash bandicoot star fox rpgs with "furry" choices like elder scrolls, modded fallout, baldur's gate, world of warcraft ark SA has some decent furry PC replacers.

Noir 浮世 (@madcap412) reportedXbox failure as a console is unforgivable You had Xbox (Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, Psychonauts, Killer Instinct, Banjo, Conker, etc) + Bethesda (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Doom) + Activision (Call of Duty, Crash, Spyro) + Blizzard (Overwatch, StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo) = and still produce the worst console of this gen...so unsuccessful you went full third-party publisher....and are STILL a horrible multiplat publisher Xbox has been an experiment proving that Microsoft is unfit for gaming They need to sell their IP's to more worthy companies and **** gaming

gunitgunit98 (@Gunitgunit98) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Crossplay or not we pay for a service and this maintenance means most people can’t play today
-
Zendarius (@Zen_Darius) reported@Asmoden3 @TESOnline It's the replacement for daily/weekly endeavor seals and probably some of the missing daily login rewards
-
Tim Quitzau (@tim_quitzau) reported@TESOnline Not fixing the game just adding more reasons for the game to crash. I get the point
-
Bad Wolf Sultan MyWolverine❤️🔥MyPrincessPeach (@BadWolfSultan) reported@xonebros The only problem Bethesda has with Elder Scrolls VI is Bethesda, they are their own worst enemies
-
Monday (@lxMondayxl) reported@Frogboyx1Gaming @asha_shar If Sony owned ABK/Zenimax. Xbox would never see Crash, Spyro, Call of duty (after contract is up) Starfield, Elder Scrolls and so on. Xbox is not trying to beat Playstation. They're trying to monetize them. While destroying their own brand. It's fine that only Xbox share games.

Emergency Crayons🖍️ (@EmergencyCrayon) reported@Asmoden3 @TESOnline Is this a problem? You exausted the content.

ShotYourEyeOut (@ShotYourEyeOut) reported@TESOnline I’ve done so many skirmishes and none are counting toward the quest. Fix your game please.

Chris W (@Chris_GWW) reported@Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...
-
Valdenn (@sirvaldenn) reported@Swurv__ True enough about Crimson Desert. Elder Scrolls VI has a Bethesda problem, though. Yeah, it'll make money, but not as much as if it were good. Starfield suffered because people saw and said how abysmal it was. TES VI will have the same issue.

ShadowMosesLikes🎮🎧💿🏢💿 (@MosesGames) reported@TESOnline So I can play the Night Market on a different character but can’t start the main quest with the curator on it? Please fix this.
