  @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)

  @TESOnline Wow, I thought people were being too hard on this, but they were right. Solo Veteran Dungeon: No problem. Solo one mob in Night Market: F#ck No!

  If this is true, @asha_shar , I think the best thing you could do would be to drop the price of ultimate to either $20 or $25 and stagger the addition of yearly COD titles (and possibly others). COD grinders are going to pay full price for each title, regardless of if you say it'll come to GPU in 3 months (There's a lot of people that buy the game through Blizzard launcher anyways). Each COD title feeds into Warzone, so there's an incentive to play each title to level up guns and get an advantage. Putting it at a 3-month stagger for GPU would pull in the sales from those dedicated to the franchise while also giving a good date for those that wouldn't have bought the game no matter what. As for additional benefits, you could look into first party offerings. Fallout 1st would be an easy addition, as would something for Elder Scrolls Online (as I know they just switched strategies from big expansions to seasonal content like the norm). The problem is, the benefits you add have to be beneficial to justify the price hike. You guys raised the price and gave us Fortnite Crew, which is beneficial to a number of people, but a ton of the other GPU benefits are for already F2P titles, most of which no one cares about.

  @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.

  @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—

  @pizzamoney83 @VulpeculaLunae @TESOnline they have too much instance. that the problems. zenimax really overestimate the number of people who play that game. too many time i end up in a 12 player group where the half is in a different night market. we must scream to them to travel to us otherwise they can't find us lol

  The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered by publisher Bethesda Softworks has not received a formal PC patch since Update 1.2 was released in July 2025. Frame rates dropping and traversal stuttering are still a problem for players.

  @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

  2. 2nd one is the new one. Recently acquired. Can run all latest modern game. Acquired it after money I save to fix my old gaming laptop is almost enough to buy new and better gaming laptop. This laptop is for mass PvP action (100vs100vs100) in The Elder Scrolls Online.

  @TESOnline PvP AND night market? Wow, feeling spoiled with all of that non-content garbage. PvP is dead, no matter how many events you fail to launch, and the Night Market is ****** TOXIC for solo players, meaning you can't touch it if you have social anxiety issues. Keep your events.

  @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"

  @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.

  @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

  @NikTek @CosmicMatt92 It would still be a huge problem having to load to enter every single house, dungeon, castle, whatever, this engine is abysmal dogshit, and they should have changed it after Skyrim, a have zero faith in the next Elder Scrolls game, unfortunatelly.

  @yrulaughing418 @RayKump That’s still part of the issue. It’s why the next Elder Scrolls was announced 8 years ago before taking a backseat to Starfield. Giant game companies can’t dev more than one thing at a time, they’ve don’t have that ability any more apparently.

  @lohipuikko @pssucks80155 @Nick_Marseil Timed exclusives solves this problem IMO. Gears E-Day? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fable? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fallout 5 & Elder Scrolls 6? 12 months only on Xbox/PC. You get my drift

  @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.

  Nicholas Hanson (@da_asmodai) reported 55 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.
