    @Alex_Kozinets @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What lag? I don't have lag. I got disconnected at a very inconvenient time, and was presented with an idiotic long login queue. I still wasted almost half of my remaining gaming time of the evening, which btw is already very limited. So frustration is high when **** don't work.

    @blacknredtext Ahem So: The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Breath of the Wilds, Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk, Assasin's Creed Licence (the first games), CRPGs as a whole The problem is that we do not question if open world is a good idea, but how do we make it open world.

    @luscielia Elder scrolls 6… I’ve been waiting 15 years for this game and I would crawl over broken glass just to meet the man who was lucky enough to sell his soul for the elder scrolls 6

    @Raven0178 @Swurv__ Did you actually play crimson desert? Lol. It obviously would have elder scrolls abilities and combat because its an elder scrolls game just everything about crimson desert works so much better than elder scrolls games, cell based games are cumbersome to the extreme, I shouldn't need seven loading screens in the same town, you know? I'm just kind of over that. I want more of what crimson desert offered me. And id love it if that came from a studio like bethesda with its rich story and lore, because honestly, they suck at the back end ****. I think everyone UNANIMOUSLY agrees on that, hence why "its not a bug its a feature" its such a well known bethesda meme. Everything they make comes riddled with bugs and issues and we are fine with it because its bethesda, I dont want to be fine with it, I want my cake and I want to eat it too, I want the rich story and I want the amazing engine for it to run on in the background. You can keep paying for ur slop if you want though.

    @WompitWompWomp @TESOnline Incentive to login & claim a reward daily ≠ incentive to actually play the game. & the implication that people who do so means they’re the majority is a more head-*** response to these changes than supposing they are backed by user data for a projected growth outcome.

    @Yeenpaws_ @xenosaga7 Canceled gachas is like the norm for the whole industry right now and while I do agree it's a problem it's not exclusive to Tales. The Elder Scrolls Blades just got EoS notice, Square Enix has like 30 closed gachas. I'll just wait for the day when one of the HoYo games gets EoSd.

    @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.

    @AmericanTimdog what games should be exclusive then? they legally cant do cod? the ftc will probs step in if they try it with fallout and elder scrolls. most of Xbox main games are live service multiplayer so 1 or two games exclusive to xbox and pc? whats the point?

    @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)

    I used to pre-order every @BethesdaStudios game and every @WeArePlayground Forza game. Microslop has with it's enforcement of copilot and "service" convinced me to "wait and see", I am still looking forward to Elder scrolls 6, but until I see how and if they will support external modding I won't buy it. As for Forza horizons 6, the next instalment of my favourite car franchise, I want to see it running and make sure Microsoft hasn't forced copilot into it.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I am have a crafting issue on ESO, & ESO cannot help me. They referred me to Bethesda for help. I am trying to locate where I can send you an email to get help with this issue. Where can I email it? Your links refer me back to ESO, they can't help me.

    @GamewithDave A year ago, I would've said Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, but now I'd say Lunar: Dragon Song. If they could fix the game's infamously godawful gameplay, I'd give it a chance.

    @TESOnline If I still login, it will probably just be to see any new story content that catches my interest, for the most part at least.

  • Nikfor_
    𝙉𝙄𝙆𝙁𝙊𝙍 (@Nikfor_) reported

    Now that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

    @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 big scale pvp—

    @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

    @LilithLovett Current Triple A meta is multiplayer shooters with live service and ranking systems, unfortunately. Elder Scrolls 6 is on hold till Todd figures out how to make it a multiplayer shooter. Let's hope he learns from Fallout 76.

    @KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure

  • AdamVergara13

    @RazorwireRPG Elder scrolls can get away with in universe tech advancing because it’s fantasy. Fallout is science fiction so it’s supposed to be a little more grounded in reality. 76 being set 25 years after the bombs was probably a good idea because yes things would still be broken.

  • GenericNPC187
    GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported

    @Swurv__ I don’t know about that. The Elder Scrolls used to be the gold standard in open-world RPG’s, but since then the industry has shifted dramatically and there’s a lot of competition. Elder Scrolls has a Bethesda problem if anything.

    @TESOnline Pvp is unplayable u just get 2 shot by dks. Its so boring. An every class rework is going to have the same issues an be op till there all out so they are eather dumb an didn't see this happening. Or they did it on purpose for engagement an Microtransactions.
