The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Octopus (@Fred420170) reported@djkkyle @orielkiller @shinobi602 I don’t live on Twitter, FMS was broken at launch, same with halo infinite, starfield did well, the rest are good but not system sellers like gears, next mainline balo, elder scrolls 6 etc.
-
Asteria Xilfaren (@xilfaren) reported@Latoniksyze @TESOnline Does anyone here know how to read? They posted somewhere that they had an issue with console side and that it was delayed. You act so impatient for what? Literally nothing. Taking out your anger on the poor media manager... Truly unemployed behaviors.
-
NBK2K (@nbk2k__) reported@klobrille I think he means that all already existing multi-player live service games like fallout 76, Elder scrolls online, sea of thieves, cod, etc. Will continue to be multi plat but not the next halo, gears, forza etc. Yes I know fh6 is going to ps, im talking about the next one.
-
Nick the Noticer (@basedcatman) reported@WolfBronsky @Grummz Skyrim was outdated when it came out. They are still using the same Loadscreen Engine. If Elder Scrolls 6 releases with the same issues Starfield did, the studio is as good as dead.
-
Gilbeezyskit ✝️🇺🇸 (@Gilbeezyskit93) reported@nuhre_ There are a lot of veteran game devs who demand high salaries and many AAA studios are built in expensive cities to attract talent, requiring higher salaries all around. All of this is multiplied by games taking 7 years now instead of 18 months (the real problem right now). I get wanting to avoid insane Halo 2 levels of crunch, but there has to be a middle ground. KOTOR 2 was made in 14 months. Double that to give more breathing room and you still have a high quality game in less than 3 years. I mean seriously, Elder Scrolls 6 could have been Skyrim with slightly better graphics and a new setting. We should be waiting for ES9 right now. Instead it’s been 15 years…. TLDR: AAA game dev is collapsing because of ridiculous dev times that cause salaries per game to become completely unsustainable.
-
Chud Dwyer (@Jolteoff) reported@Wario64 Spencer's "let the devs do what they want" strategy dug them in such a deep hole. Years of nothing but live-service updates from Halo, SoT, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout. Early stages of development for the Cuphead sequel when the series is 9 years old. It's insane
-
Jonas (@GuitaristOnBass) reported@TESOnline @LordBalvin Don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps it would be better for XBOX to bulk the live service updates into a pre-show or something. It creates a weird dynamic in the showcase to mix them with new titles, not creating the best reactions in viewers— which you don't want either.
-
RBunFoX🦊 #L4D2Source2 (@RBunFoX) reported@stormfall33 Well, the logical thing would have been for Bethesda to continue the development of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but Starfield made everything move, so perhaps the problem was that third game.
-
NuclearWinter 🇺🇸 (@NuclearWinter69) reported@Grummz Get rid of all their online live service **** and go back to fallout and elder scrolls. I’m sick of them shitting all over their fans
-
Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) reportedThere's rumors going around that anyone NOT working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls could be facing layoffs (at Zenimax). This is a total reset as Sharma has said. All in on their big IP franchises and if you dont fit that vision, you are on the chopping block.
-
K.D. (@choco_celt) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What extra things got broken on the consoles this time?
-
❦ Asif ❦ (@Asif_not_here) reported@Grummz "Anybody not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk." Wait until these games are finished... heads will roll
-
Pooka187 (@187Plink) reported@TESOnline DK is still broken. You should log into PVP sometime. Unlikable 1 shot machines. Wtf are you thinking?
-
Elgacnilloc06 (@Elgac161406) reported@TESOnline FIX TALES OF TRIBUTE!
-
Footbeat (@sakiv6601) reportedElder scrolls announcement and it’s eso im gonna crash out
-
Jonathan Hart Ellis (@JHartEllis) reported@TESOnline Nothing to really dislike, but nothing to get overly animated about. Nice changes at the edges when there are critical core problems that bafflingly continue to not be addressed.
-
Kenny C 🇺🇸 (@Kenevitable) reported@_Tom_Henderson_ PS didn't have a problem selling 100m consoles again. Xbox shouldn't have either but when you buy Activision and make COD exclusive, or Bethesda and they dont make any Fallouts or Elder Scrolls, how did they expect to sell consoles? Its No.1 selling point is 50% cheaper on PC..
-
Matt Gerken (@matt_gerken) reported@rpwbrowne To say they don’t have the IP is crazy. Elder Scrolls Fallout Doom Quake Wolfenstein Minecraft Overwatch Call of Duty Candy Crush Crash Bandicoot Diablo Guitar Hero King’s Quest Space Quest Spyro the Dragon StarCraft Tenchu Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater World of Warcraft Fable etc

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

❄️Albby❄️ (@WeissKnight_) reportedIf you dont expect Fallout76 or Elder scrolls online after the bethesda presents you are stupid Its the same every ******* year with those live service games
-
Richard Browne (@rpwbrowne) reported@GameReaper187 The last Doom tanked. Diablo, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are classic PC franchises. This is the problem they have better PC IP than console IP. And people have PCs so that’s where they play them.
-
Carbon_GT (@Carbon_GT) reported@xMBGx Does “Fallout” and “Elder Scrolls” include the live service version of the games like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online
-
Paul Tassi (@PaulTassi) reportedI don't really get the Xbox plan here. Even trying to "accelerate" things, you are not going to get a new Halo or Elder Scrolls or Fallout sooner than every 4-5 years. There is still no hard and fast reason to get a console with PC and cloud available. The next actual console is going to be hugely expensive anyway barring significant changes. The most vocal Xbox fans on here cheerleading everything already have a console and Game Pass, and the ceiling for that subscription service is hard to break through, much less making up the losses from the 50% hike. I don't see the vision.
-
Ryno (@Rynoalpha) reported@BRAP_Podcast @onepiece9681 I really question your intelligence. They never had good exclusives for it to amount to anything. If they had elder scrolls crash and call of duty and others for a substantial amount of time they be in a different situation. We saw how much better they did during 360 era.
-
Jamie (@JamieOffline) reported@BRAP_Podcast I think the problem is people keep looking at Xbox like it's one console company with one goal. "Case by case" makes perfect sense when you remember Microsoft isn't just managing Xbox hardware. They're managing Xbox, PC, cloud, Game Pass, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, Mojang, King, and studios that came with existing contracts, platform histories, and audiences. Minecraft shouldn't be judged the same way as Halo. Halo shouldn't be judged the same way as Call of Duty. Call of Duty shouldn't be judged the same way as Sea of Thieves or Elder Scrolls. The idea that every game should follow one blanket exclusivity rule sounds simple, but Microsoft's gaming business isn't simple. People also keep forgetting scale. Xbox is a huge business, but it's still one division inside Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't operate like Sony or Nintendo because Microsoft isn't Sony or Nintendo. Those companies exist primarily to serve their gaming ecosystems. Microsoft's gaming ecosystem exists inside a much larger company. So no, "case by case" isn't mixed messaging to me. It's literally them saying they're going to evaluate each game, studio, audience, contract, and business case individually instead of forcing every title into the same box.

Shadowe (@ShadoweLily) reported@stormfall33 Elder scrolls 6 is likely in development hell to some extent. There have been rumours of serious issues with development and I believe that. Skyrim was 2011, GTA V was 2012 and we are still getting GTA 6 first despite the money they make on GTA online.
-
Pixels & Polygons (@PixelsnPolyg0ns) reported@Grummz Why is he sharing insider rumours in one message, but then acting like he is too principled to report on something that wasn't public in another? The truth is, if he knew that everyone not working on Fallout or The Elder Scrolls was at-risk, then we would have reported that too.
-
Arch Mage Magnus (@Magicka313) reported@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.
-
Emily (@o_XxEmilyxX_o) reported@TESOnline The new furnishing drop rate is abysmal. Please return the dueling mat to what it was before you “fixed” it. It’s been over a year. The invisible bottom became a feature and people bought a LOT of them for that reason. You really let down the housing community with that “fix”.
-
Imakuni? (@6c697374) reported@kojimaicmatters I played the GBA version of FF2, and it was the only one I didn't beat. I got about 3/4ths through, but I just couldn't stand the way you gained stats. Probably annoyed me more than most because it was like retreading my issues with the Elder Scrolls games skills all over again.
