  @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

  @LegendSince1992 @TESOnline Nope. i'm 3600cp and have all master stations. Master stations is not a problem but if you don't actively grind cp in Black Rose Prison it will take you 10 years.

  @RonnieBlaz3 @TESOnline I play currently on PC/EU and I played on Xbox/EU till 2019. PvP were always laggy. It was the worst in 2017! The problem was the netcode and not so much the servers. Servers became better though. Much less problems with connectivity and rarely lags in PvE raids and stuff. PvP still shity though bc, like I said, netcode! To much garbage requests vom the server leads to too much data that has to be handled. They should really redo that from scratch with a tighter code. So better no usage of AI bs. They will probably not do this o.o"

  GeForce now is trash. Elder scrolls online keeps getting this weird bug. It's the wrong button binding and I can't fix it. Too many problems with these streaming services.

  @klobrille Key is, you have to have exclusive games people want to play. That's been the problem with Xbox for over a decade. I think the only game they could make exclusive that would really move the needle is Elder Scrolls 6. And I doubt they would have the stones to do that.

  What’s the point in playing Elder Scrolls Online if the dungeon queue is going to take almost an hour?! Can’t even do daily anymore because it’s super annoying! @BethesdaSupport fix your crap please…

  @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.

  @Johnnymetal80 @Septic_Sauce The anticipation for the follow-up to Skyrim is a money maker approaching GTA. A lot more upfront sales will be lost with Elder Scrolls 6, so with this move I no longer have confidence in Game Pass as a service. It was about guarantees, no doubt, and that's now gone.

• 
  SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported 17 minutes ago

  Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 with no guaranteed release date or anything, or even a guarantee we see it in the next 5 years. The belief alone that it would launch day one on Game Pass made me value the service enough to continue paying for it every year until it appeared.

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Hello! My ticket #260419-002356 has been stuck for 3 days. I can't access my new Gold Road purchase due to a Steam linking error. I've provided all the proof in the ticket. Please help me get into the game! #ESO #ElderScrollsOnline

  @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

  @xonebros The only problem Bethesda has with Elder Scrolls VI is Bethesda, they are their own worst enemies

  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.

  @MedeirosDa61624 @TESOnline Exactly, it’s your experience. Unfortunately it’s not everyone’s experience. It doesn’t take much to see all the forum, reddit, facebook posts and most importantly what you hear in your community. It’s a growing issue across servers but I’m sure some are worse than others.

  Nethilez (@Nethilez) reported 42 minutes ago

  @Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille I see no issue either but that’s the logic. Elder Scrolls became multi platform so I understand if future iterations are as well. As for Sony tactics, Square Enix is backing off because it’s not profitable for them. But it’s more about expectations for each 1st party studio 1/2

  @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.

  Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reported 43 minutes ago

  I have LOTS of ideas but probably either an Elder Scrolls style open world game with procedural terrain and dungeon generaition, AI agent NPCs so their schedules were more dynamic and they had unlimited voiced dialog options. Or a MMO that fixes all the things I think are broken in them.

  @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.

  @pizzamoney83 @TESOnline Where in night market you need to be elite player? :) difficulty there mid between vet dungeons and vet trials. Any average group can do this. There's zero new mechanics - a bit reworked old bosses, without any new mechanics. Problem there - excessive grind. It just boring.

  Silaf (@Asmoden3) reported 52 minutes ago

  @TESOnline The problem is that after reaching 10000 favors you have no reason to interact with the night market anymore.

  @RinoTheBouncer Not a problem since I'm basically the one person on the planet that's NOT hyped for GTA6. For me, Elder Scrolls 6 is the game I have the most hype for. It's my favorite game series and has been since Morrowind.

  GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported 55 minutes ago

  @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 @spantifical When are you going to fix all the bugs in the game? Abilities don't work the first time, so I have to double tap it, trials are laggy, crown store stole my crowns twice I started a ticket awhile back and heard nothing. So wtf are we paying for?

  @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.
