    @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.

    @TESOnline I feel like crossplay is a waste of time it’s just gonna cause more issues for the devs

    @TESOnline Weapon "previews" glitch my weapon into an iron dagger for some reason. I still don't know what DLCs are gonna be free. I'm not a big fan of the 12 month premiums tomes deal. I think ESO+ should have those unlocked. I am enjoying it, though.

    @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.

    @younghavok Elder scrolls 6? Story mode overwatch game? Crash bandicoot? Spyro? Halo remake? Fallout 5? Fable? Souls like WoW? They didn’t even try

    @WoodsMonk @TESOnline Only problem is if we got them to change it for Solo players while this season is active, would they give us back the days we missed, or just say sod you. :/

    @Xylus19 @Dee_Batch @klobrille Both Zenimax/Activaion are 1st party but have a legacy of being multi platform. I do believe new IP singleplayer IP should at least be timed exclusive. Though I have no issue if Elder Scrolls is timed for for exclusive, up to them and data

    @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.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Your game keeps kicking me out every couple of minutes, followed by countless login errors, me getting in again, followed by getting kickec out again, repeating ad nauseum. No, its not z connection issue on my end.

  • fivetide

    Bethesda packaged and shipped The Elder Scrolls themselves They learned how to assemble boxes inserts and use the heat gun They spent time shrink-wrapping the games themselves Bethesdas hands-on approach shows commitment to quality control but also means delays for eager fans Bethesda wrapping games themselves while others outsource If you are still waiting for your copy dont blame the postal service blame Bethesda for doing it all themselves

    @Bethesda_UK Fix the game instead of promoting it. I've never had a game crash this bad since Elder Scrolls Online on PS4.

  • BigJK123123
    Josh (@BigJK123123) reported

    @ZephhyLeo @CultClassicCage Yet the game still had plenty of bugs, glitches & issues, some of which were present in their 2002 Elder Scrolls game. "it was less glitchy than Fallout 4" It bloody should be, that game notoriously had performance issues, and technical flaws even found in the recent re-release.

    @TESOnline This is all great, but can you fix control layout B? You don't junk until you Release the thumbstick. Imagine if you didn't jump until you released the face button. It's awful and has been broken for years now.

    @TESOnline It's actually a good system but it can be improved. My feedback is to remove actions that require a daily login.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I bought the Starfield Premium Edition upgrade a while ago, but I still can't install the Terran Armada expansion. What's the problem? It's not included?

  • Asmoden3

    @RyanStrifePlays @TESOnline Yes 2 team BG was a design error. 8 vs 8 was fun but all the others modes can disappear forever as an error.

  • EnderRising
    Ender Rising (@EnderRising) reported

    @Jugulator__95 @TagTrinity After reading Jez’s article it looks like game pass will become a build your own bundle service, before Elder Scrolls even launches. What that looks like pricing wise, day one games, I have no idea. Starfield would have sold 25 million to 30 million plus copies during launch week if it wasn’t on game pass and was on ps5 at launch. The hype for the game was insane.

    @RevenantRemnant Look at the devs of the next Elder Scrolls.....A hint and a HALF it's gonna crash and burn. Recalling my vlog on it when I tried my hardest not to make fun of those women. Yes,THOSE women,not the women who's capable of developing great games and not garbage.

    This proves HOW FOOLISH you are You have given MS/Xbox license to REMOVE 1st party games using the EXCUSE of cost ratio to XGP users Will Elder Scrolls 6 be in XGP? Maybe the cost of the game is too much per MS You fools have made a mess of a great service all becuz of

    @SMGold_ I love me some elder scrolls but everyone knows thats glitch of a game isnt the best game made. Now excuse me while I find the save state that doesn't have my character falling through the floor.

    @Pirat_Nation There is a very clear expectation from 2 totally different TITANS of the gaming industry. On one hand, Elder Scrolls 6. and on the other, GTA 6 1 is going to literally shut down countries and cause economic issues when it releases. The other one is going to be a 7/10 on IGN

    @Der_Kernel_ Pretty sure people 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.

    @TESOnline fix your the eso subscriptions, most of us didnt get our tomes. AND YES we put in tickets, that yall never respond to.

    Nethilez (@Nethilez) reported

    @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
