The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Josh (@BigJK123123) reported@ZephhyLeo @CultClassicCage Yet the game still had plenty of bugs, glitches & issues, some of which were present in their 2002 Elder Scrolls game. "it was less glitchy than Fallout 4" It bloody should be, that game notoriously had performance issues, and technical flaws even found in the recent re-release.

Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

WeinCruz5000 (@WCruz5000) reported@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.

Xycofox (@xycofox) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Did you guys fix the issue where players ESO Plus subscriptions weren't getting activated?

Rayph (@ThunderBrush) reported@DUSKdev I have no insight on this particular issue but I was the 7th or so artist hired for Elder Scrolls online back when ZOS was considered a sister studio to Bethesda and their company policies were frankly...absurd. Back then working in concept art I sketched everything on pencil/paper and had requested a basic scanner for my desk for months, got fed up and decided to bring in my own only to walk into work the next day to see my entire desk being packed up by IT as they were reading paperwork to fire me for breaking employee-code, thankfully my lead at the time saved my ***. Bethesda is a company/studio that's ran by lawyers and very overzealous leadership first and foremost so something this petty doesn't strike me out of the realm of possibility. I was present for a few town halls when New Vegas was in development and it was fairly palpable that Bethesda main had little love for the New Vegas project.

B-Rich (@nb_rich) reported@Rkwah1 @TESOnline Its more engaging now. Before we would just sign in get the reward and sign out. If you missed a day you were out of luck. Now you got a month to complete quests which means your actually playing the game for the same rewards. Definitely better like this.
-
Sahara Trix (@hotspiritlady) reported@Lovcraftian @DebbieBurrows11 @TESOnline They finally resolved it for me, after 4 days though... I will try to buy another 1 month in May to see if the problem repeats.
-
Phalamy (@RPhalamy) reported@Dolfijnmanjohns The nords from skyrim, specifically skyrim not the rest of Elder Scrolls. They ******* lobotomized their whole society for that game. Winterhold got blown away by a storm almost 80 years ago, but they are too ******* lazy to fix it so they'd rather discriminate against magic now

Emma Jane 💗 (@EmmaPohlman) reportedI HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR A HORSE, AND YOU GIVE ME AN ELEPHANT WITH BACK PROBLEMS. WHY? @TESOnline

Jeffrey Beckham (@JeffreyBeckham7) reported@TESOnline The link is broken.
-
Prin Lowe (@prin_lowe) reported@Der_Kernel_ Pretty sure it's more cope that modders will fix whatever mess Bethesda shits out but modders never bothered with Bethesda's last slop release so I'm not sure why anyone is coping that they'll fix Elder Scrolls 6.
-
HowDatFeel (@joseagu59410157) reported@TESOnline How about u fix the game crashing 10 times a day
-
Quebber 💙🇺🇦 🏳️🌈 (@Calranthe) reportedI 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.

◦❧◦ 🇷🇪🇲🇾 ◦☙◦ (@ShemiteBrew) reported@TESOnline fix your the eso subscriptions, most of us didnt get our tomes. AND YES we put in tickets, that yall never respond to.
-
SV 108 (@SV_108) reported@MrCraneGames @Pirat_Nation Ah, so a Cyberpunk 2077 style reinvention. That might help, but the problem is that they're behind schedule for Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5. It's kind of a Catch-22 situation for them. Personally, I wish they'd just hand over Fallout 5 to another studio to clear their schedule

JB-Warsmith (@JB_Warsmith) reported@TESOnline I seriously dont care about what is coming when I cant get to play what is there now! Fix the game!!!

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)

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...

HVNR | Frosty ❄️ (@itsfrostytdm) reported@WestDeserts This is my problem too!!!! Give us one more pretty please? @TESOnline
-
Nate Da Great (@NateDaGr8Ate8) reported@playstationyesr @sassykitten666 That will fix it because PC and PlayStation people won't get games like elder scrolls 6 etc that'll make em buy xbox
-
Dasu: Monster Hunter, Nioh, Ninja Gaiden (@buddahmfjones) reported@jizzle701 I don't take no ***** seriously when they mention Elder scrolls bro them shits is boring as **** with trash combat that relieson the community to fix the game & create content. DD2 has it's flaws but I'd play that over any Bethesda game any day.
-
Moisty4k (@Moisty4k) reported@x_rubyuwu @TESOnline I uninstalled and went to bad I was so tired from spending 2 hours trying to trouble shoot it lol had an easier time getting a scratched PS2 game from blockbuster to work than trying to play eso on my PC
-
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.
-
The Black Blaze Collective (@BlackBlazeE) reported@TESOnline @JoeyAKangaroo Yeah let's focus on that rather than actually fixing genuine issues.
-
fivetide (@fivetide) reportedBethesda packaged and shipped The Elder Scrolls themselves They learned how to assemble boxes inserts and use the heat gun They spent time shrink-wrapping the games themselves Bethesdas hands-on approach shows commitment to quality control but also means delays for eager fans Bethesda wrapping games themselves while others outsource If you are still waiting for your copy dont blame the postal service blame Bethesda for doing it all themselves
-
Cr4nkenStein (@Cr4nkenStein) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Is Fallout76 also affected? Can't login since ~1hr. Before there were several erros like "Player can not be removed from Team" that popped up constantly.
-
Snowy (@Snowley_gaming) reportedIs there some kind of problem with login into eu today @TESOnline ! I'm stuck in login queue even though I'm a member
-
_Romka (@romka_bu) reported@Ithira_ @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport I have the same problem
-
V E R S A Y C E (@CreepPhone) reported@TESOnline Of ALL the Vengeance campaigns I hit a giant lag spike and got booted from the entire game during the recent battle at Chal, it's this one, the one where you messed with AOEs.
-
Katie (@xMsKatie) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline HELP . ESO keeps booting me out of the PS5-NA SERVER- after every login.absolutely no playing possible. PLEASE FIXING (before the tomes was everything fine)
