Kayleigh Welborn (@WelbornKayleigh) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline game patch updated on ps5 and now i can’t get in the game saying “patch required please download and install” the patch is updated and won’t let me in, other guildies in discord having same problem
-
Ren (@ladeeL90) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Why has there been no response from anyone? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, and STILL can’t get onto ESO. This going on day 2 now, and I’m not the only one. If you guys bothered to actually read the replies to your tweet, you’d see that. Fix this, and comp us. This is ridiculous!
-
Ronin_Blades (@ronin_blades) reported@LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op
-
Wing X Custom (@WingXCustom) reported@Hybrid508 @RinoTheBouncer Nah **** that. I Grew up playing Spider-Man games on other platforms. Didn't stop Sony from worming their way to Spider-Man exclusivity by leveraging the MCU rights. -Spyro -Crash Bandicoot -Fallout -Elder Scrolls -Banjo-Kazooie Should all go exclusive. Sony set the precedent
-
Winter (@Winterscythe11) reported@TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.
-
Qmatrix (@qmatrix_ai) reported@IGN The Elder Scrolls 6 delay hits hard. We saw the same slow quality loop in quantum dataset labeling where expert verification added 18 months but cut error rates by half.
-
𝔊𝔯𝔦𝔪𝔣𝔢𝔩 (@GrimfelOfficial) reported@abandonedmuse I think it just runs at a lower rate as I didn't max out usage Build an explorable 3D RPG world in Three.js based on the attached image. It has to feel like Elder Scrolls daggerfall in feel, FPS RPG, with collision detection, no clipping or defects on geometry, AAA visuals with HDR lighting and shadow shaders, target 60fps, split all the work into sub agents like terrain, props/geometry, materials/textures, lighting, physics, controls/camera, performance. Assign one sub-agent per stream. Each sub-agent owns its stream end to end and reports what it built plus what is still weak. Integrate, then run a review pass: walk the world, list every visible defect, fix them. Repeat till you get it perfect

crispy (@crispy___af) reported@Swurv__ Even if it was undeserved (it was) the problem was they weren't making a real elder scrolls/fallout. No one asked for thst shi
-
Falloutfan3000 (@Macy1517) reported@Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.
-
kdjvanega (@kdjvanega) reported@kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline i deleted and reinstalled it, same issue. Im on PS5 and just spent 6 hours reinstalling the game for it to not fix the bug like you said.
-
Jonathan.G (@Jonathan2134) reportedI remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.

Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reportedI love Creation Engine. Propriety engines play a significant role in forming a game's identity and I would never wish that away. Bethesda is who they are in large part because of this engine. That said, to spend countless years and millions of dollars on a new game and NOT strive to break new ground or do something you haven't before feels like a waste. The Creation Engine hasn't shown a meaningful capacity to grow and change with modern gaming expectation and that's a problem. I still want Bethesda games to feel like Bethesda games, but if Creation Engine 3 doesn't massively impress and prove that it can deliver a truly modern gaming experience, it will be imperative that Bethesda make changes that I don't think they're willing to make. At this point, promising the future of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout on Creation Engine feels like a giant gamble.

Enlightened Serf 🇬🇧 🇮🇴 (@enlightenserf) reportedAfter 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.
-
Neon Daybreak (@_neondaybreak_) reported@TESOnline Idc what sheogorath did to her, I can fix her
-
the_lurker (@BasementThing) reported@TheGameVerse If they are releasing stuff like the new halo idk. The elder scrolls maybe a issue however
-
Mr Triceratops 🧙🏼♂️🇨🇦 (@TriceratopsMr) reportedObsidian was always openly progressive The problem with the Outer Worlds and Avowed is that everyone wanted them to be FO or Elder Scrolls style of open world RPG and they clearly were not.
-
St Spurs Man (@St_SpursMan) reportedIf elder scrolls 6 is mid in any way I’m going to crash tf out
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline so my game finished reinstalling like 30 minutes ago and its still broken.
-
Amy🇵🇸 aka my pen names Morthva or Autumn (@AmyHill16566827) reported@voEROSttv I loved Elder Scrolls Online but just like with WoW, I really didn’t enjoy the raids. Raids are great if you enjoy the DPS as a group but I like to see what my character can do without the chaos. Also I have a customer service job, I don’t want to socialize very much in the game. Sounds weird I know but I do love the quests.
-
Elsonso (@ElsonsoJannus) reported@HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.
-
Zoinkz (@Drum2dbeatz) reported@FarmerChewy @Pirat_Nation Exactly. Their games are fun, but under Microsoft’s cashflow umbrella, Starfield still had a few issues and the next Elder Scrolls still hasn’t been shown or teased So unfortunately, I don’t think these layoffs will have a meaningful impact. If its worse, then that’s on Microsoft
-
Jared Shapiro (@GetFitWithJared) reported@Aurelian_27 @danno_omen Well if they start holding back Day 1 games they're going to have a big subscriber drop off. CoD makes sense, it's the biggest selling game every year and is stupid expensive to produce. Removing it and lowering the price $7 was a decent trade off, but if you start removing Halo, Gears, Elder Scrolls or Fallout you're going to have backlash. Think of it this way, for every 10 subscribers that keep Game Pass Ultimate over Premium for a month, they get the same revenue as 1 sale. It's easier to sell a $23 sub than a $70 game but then if those users stay on the service, Microsoft gets that money every month no matter what other game they put out.

AP on 𝕏 (@AntiPar2ival) reported@SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.

Kendra Bratton 🌸🧚♀️ Fairy VTuber (@Voxs_Faegirl) reported✧༺♥༻∞GUIRELLA ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM ENDED∞༺♥༻✧ 🌸Welp looks like it is a YT Server issue for the East coast I am praying it is better by tomorrow before going on my trip. Tonight we raided into @mino_mieko on Twitch & on YouTube we raided into Machina X Flayon!

andy (@andymke) reported@a_space_alien @JuiceHead33 Yes the long term employees can help develop new talent, but they're also the least likely to want to try something new the "We've always done it this way" mind set is powerful in long time workers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you might say, but 15 years and counting for a new Elder Scrolls game shows that something at Bethesda is broken and needs to be fixed.
-
Clark (@Helix_3J) reported@SpawnYaardReply @Higgs_GG Other games do this too. It’s not a Ubisoft problem. If you wanna blame someone, blame that damn elder scrolls horse armor.
-
Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported@HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

Nethi ܸ⩌⩊⩌ ܸ (@NethiVr) reported@CassieKittenVR Different tech at the time. Keep in mind that Bethesda is a bit like monster hunter with their engine. Each generation of games are working on the same system just modified to fix their current IP, which was ether Elder scrolls or Fallout. What a mess x3
