    @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.

    @foambreaker @TESOnline Consolidating systems overtime is a very common practice for games that have been in service for 7+ years. Over time some systems become outdated and need a refresh. I'm actually happy ZOS is taking the time to fix up old/outdated systems to keep things relevant.

    @gamer5695 @charlieINTEL The 2.0 didn't help them it was still crap, the engine isn't even the problem with Bethesda it's the devs and Todd Howard they don't know how to make good games anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if elder scrolls 6 is a MMO and they continue with the slop.

    @Ylliaster @temp_anon1 Black Myth Wukong, Borderlands 4, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered, Mindseye, and some more. Honestly, I think the problems with UE5 are mostly over hated since people don't upgrade hardware, but the fact is that these bad ports absolutely exist and there are absolutely diminishing returns.

    @Ak11810723K I think TES VI probably won’t have the same loading screen issues as Starfield. The problem with Starfield wasn’t just the engine. It was the game’s structure. Traveling frequently involved moving between separate spaces such as your ship, space, and planetary locations, often with loading screens in between. If TES VI is a more traditional Elder Scrolls game with one large world, loading screens may feel much less intrusive, even if caves and interiors still have them. That said, I hope there are fewer loading screens than in Skyrim. By today’s standards, having a loading screen every time you enter a cave, dungeon, city, or building would still feel like a lot…

    @JPearson96 @VGC_News Live service is stuff like Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, He didn't actually say multiplayer games, he strictly said live service games. Gears has multiplayer but isn't a service game, same with the next mainline Halo, it won't be on PS

  • bglangner
    Benjamin Langner (@bglangner) reported

    @asobercannibal @LRSerling 💯 my issue. Not just this, but the writing in the game as a whole. Just felt like there was so much more that could have been explored but they either ran out of time or just weren't interested, which was shocking given how deep the elder scrolls lore goes

  • Minmatar0
    Hopelessly Addicted Tarnished (@Minmatar0) reported

    @JezCorden idk MS has been doing well on PC. lots of their games sell. PC gamepass subs are quite high and many of their service games like Sea of Thieves, Elder scrolls online, Grounded etc pull in way more than sonys gaas games on PC. so what would exclusivity accomplish?

  • SleepisforT
    Jessica-Star ✨ (@SleepisforT) reported

    @Kylerm146110M @JuiceHead33 I don't imagine they will, live service and games with a long multi-platform legacy like Elder Scrolls and Fallout will likely stay multiplat But we will see, things have been changing quickly

    @TESOnline Thanks a ton. There are two tickets involved, one submitted by me 260610-001774, and one submitted by my friend 260610-001873. Both tickets are concerning the same issue.

    @LostMemeArchive Bethesda had no issue with Mojang naming their game Scrolls they objected to the trademark they tried to file which would have conflicted with their elder scrolls games and every other game that used the word scrolls in it.

  • DaveSteinSays

    @Genie_93 @BBCNews If Elden Ring’s servers turn off, it’s playable. ARC Raiders is useless if the server turns off. The monsters are designed to be beaten by teams unless you want to grind for some reason. There’s also special events. Most live service is the second bucket. How many people actually play the same game for years if it’s not a social game with a community? ie world of Warcraft vs elder scrolls.

    @asha_shar Now fix Bethesda Game Studios please. Pathetic to not get another Fallout game is 11 years. Insanity to still be using Creation Engine. Elder Scrolls game still not arrived. Starfield was just a bad game. Focus on that studio and fix it please. Make it good again please

    @stormfall33 The problem with releasing Elder Scrolls 6 is that it has to compete with your 12th release of Elder Scrolls 5

    @bethesda You guys seriously piss me off. You have elder scrolls and fallout fans who have been starving for a single player experience for YEARS, but you insist on doubling down on these ******* service games. Stop. Read the room.

  • Cursemark143
    Curse (@Cursemark143) reported

    @tris_ko_nel @mjHushpuppy Well "why now" is because of Asha. Her and Phil's idea of what Xbox should be differ from one another. It was so bad that people thought Xbox was becoming a Publisher rather a Platform competitor and the expectation was that they would eventually ditch the console all together. And Gears of War is not Live Service like Elder Scrolls Online. Gears main attraction is the Story & Coop play. Now to answer "why get an XBOX if its on PC". If you have a PC chances are you are content already because you will have access to XBOX. But for those that only have a PS5 and like having a console over a PC (which is a lot of damn people), the only real way I can see them converting, is exclusives. Great games sell consoles. There a lot of people that still have PS4's and cant afford a PC or PS5 (which has risen in price.) If Asha is trying to make everything at XBOX affordable again with Gamepass, future consoles, and a great line up of exclusives than I believe XBOX can become a huge competitor again for Console sales. I mean idk if Im alone on this, but like I said if I didnt have a PC, and The Elder Scrolls 6 was locked to XBOX/PC, I would buy an XBOX. The same reason applies to GTA6. Its not releasing on PC until after console, and its because Sony expects people to buy their console for ONE game. If you can lock down ONE insanely good game, you can sell your console like hot cakes. If TES6 is locked to XBOX I can see XBOX's getting sold left and right. But maybe Im just glazing The Elder Scrolls lol idk

    @thunderba11r I mean, elder scrolls 6 is the game they’re working on right now and have been for some years. I think the issue was announcing it waaaaaay too early. I also don’t blame them for trying something different with starfield, even if it didn’t totally pan out how they wanted.

    @TESOnline new mythic still broken for pvp an i cant even go to other CP campaigns to play with friend's since its alliance locked an you got rid of the rest. well not paying for eso plus for this trash. guess time to find another game. any suggestions?

    svet (@LikeSvetlana) reported

    @Amazing_ParaBoy first, the nemesis system was never patented from elder scrolls. you’re thinking of middle-earth. second, “blueprint” is used in a colloquial sense to refer to the bare-bones idea of something. there isnt any issue with how people are using it
