  • bremvet Bremvet (@bremvet) reported

    @BethesdaSupport the new elder scrolls 5 update is causing some serious lag. What are you planning to do to fix this

  • TwitchNotis Twitch Drops & Prime (@TwitchNotis) reported

    So uhm... I noticed some Problems with the Bot. #SeaOfThieves and #TESOnline Drops arent accurate. For a reason inexplicable to me, some of them are only posted when the drops have already ended I can only apologize for this, I am already looking for solutions, i'm sorry.

  • GentlemanJunkie Gentleman Junkie (@GentlemanJunkie) reported

    @stinkybeans84 @TESOnline Or at least to only be as broken as it was before the patch... at least that was playable if you could stand the lag. Now I blue screen every couple minutes.

  • GentlemanJunkie Gentleman Junkie (@GentlemanJunkie) reported

    @Jakefaulkner11 @TESOnline Or just break it back to where it was when it was broken last patch...

  • JahsinThe Jahsin_the_Excitable (@JahsinThe) reported

    @sombreroberry @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Haha! Fast?!? They don’t know the issue yet so probably won’t be til the new year at least

  • BronzeFurry BronzeIsNotAFurry (@BronzeFurry) reported

    @Kellomer_Raven @SteelWoolStudio Not to mention that they glitch thru objects just to get to you. If i could compare this game to any other it would be the elder scrolls 4: oblivion

  • maxximenez Maximilian Ximenez (@maxximenez) reported

    @Thesixler @DavvyChappy This may be a personal preference, but unless it's somehow baked into the narrative (like the Dragon Breaks of Elder Scrolls) a retcon is the coward's way out. WotC wrote their way into the problem and they should write their way out.

  • AndraccaX Adam Page (@AndraccaX) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Any update on this yet? Been 2 days since these problems started and there's been no update. You should be ashamed on how your treating player base!!!

  • krayzieewok KRAYZIEEWOK (@krayzieewok) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline This is pathetic... Take the server down fix it and compensate us players

  • sean_tha_savage Tee Sean (@sean_tha_savage) reported

    @callumhodson8 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Reach out to litetoolz via IG he'll fix it immediately

  • JustOneEfnLife it's just me (@JustOneEfnLife) reported

    @ZeniMax_Online please, for the love of the game, immediately address these @TESOnline crashing issues on @Xbox... it is not fair, right or sensible to just act like everything is okay. There's an event underway. It's the holiday season, when people have extra time to play!

  • colderthanevr ramsesdrummer2016 (@colderthanevr) reported

    @TESOnline @ElderScrolls Fix your damn game! Zenimax is a joke. One maintenance update and you broke PvP. FIX YOUR 7 YEAR OLD GAME

  • Smilingmisfit83 Linas saulys (@Smilingmisfit83) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline PS5 ESO is not playable in imperial city or cyrodil. I even blue screened in a trial. This is horrible. The game is broken.

  • Jakefaulkner11 Jake faulkner (@Jakefaulkner11) reported

    @TESOnline Fix pvp

  • Art25027415 Art (@Art25027415) reported

    @TESOnline @ElderScrolls How we doing with a fix for pvp

  • starkid_sc TyroneKennedy (@starkid_sc) reported

    @XboxSupport Followed the issue is the devs introduced a patch which had broken the game for people playing in cyrodill and they are not fixing it and it’s been going on for days now. What will Microsoft be doing about the lack of customer service over at @TESOnline ??

  • Vape_Dave Dave (@Vape_Dave) reported

    @TESOnline PS5 EU CYRODIIL IS BROKEN! GREY SCREEN EVERY 5 MINUTES!!!! #ElderScrollsOnline #BROKEN

  • Arxyia Christopher (@Arxyia) reported

    @TESOnline Was going into cyrodiil this month just not in the budget or when we going to get a fix

  • JahsinThe Jahsin_the_Excitable (@JahsinThe) reported

    @TESOnline Please fix Cyrodil on console. Whatever you did this week’s maintenance just undo it. Cyrodil was running fine before maintenance this week. Many of us are taking our vacations & staying at home to play with our global friends in pvp, now it’s unplayable. 😢

  • NSporkmann Natalie Sporkmann (@NSporkmann) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can we have an update on the issue? Its unplayable still.

  • bellasdad1073 Eric (@bellasdad1073) reported

    @TESOnline @ElderScrolls Fix your servers for pvp!!!

  • CanadianDog Darrell (@CanadianDog) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline @XboxP3 It's to bad That Bethesda drives so many players away from ESO with their constant bad patches that break the game and take forever to fix. If this was the ESO store it would be fixed in hours, and no fix insight for PVP. Phil check out PVP & see what your 7.5 gets you.

  • bellasdad1073 Eric (@bellasdad1073) reported

    @TESOnline FIX YOUR BROKEN PVP!!!!!!WE PAY FOR YOUR SERVICE THAT DONT WORK!!!!!

  • CappyCaineZ CappyCaineZ (@CappyCaineZ) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Are you going to fix this latest problem or not, it is currently unplayable!

  • Simon81198990 Simon (@Simon81198990) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Eso forum says problems been identified and work8ng on a fix, any idea of how long this will be?

  • fear_elemental FearElemental (@fear_elemental) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I just figured out how to replicate the bug consistently and reported it. Unfortunately, this is something that can be abused, if it's not already. This should be an emergency fix.

  • CappyCaineZ CappyCaineZ (@CappyCaineZ) reported

    @GraemeFoster6 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline It is also happening to EP players, we have now stopped playing Cyrodiil until they fix the problem. Considering the Emp Buffs have been bugged for over a month now I will not be holding my breath!
