The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
MeepMorp (@LiliasAmell) reported@GenePark it would be an elder scrolls without PC modders to fix it so.... no
-
Clark (@Helix_3J) reported@SpawnYaardReply @Higgs_GG Other games do this too. It’s not a Ubisoft problem. If you wanna blame someone, blame that damn elder scrolls horse armor.
-
explode (@Mr_guyy) reported@KhangiOST @Der_Kernel_ ...theres nothing to buy We asked for new elder scrolls and new Fallout and got MMO live-service games. I have no idea why bethesda hasn't been purged yet
-
emil (@kioskmango) reported@1ialexen @TESOnline They have no reason to not keep it going, it's one of the few live service games that makes them a lot of money to this day
-
VG Frogman (@frogpitgaming) reported@RedDeadDovah @TESOnline They genuinely believe that successful live service games are "set and forget". They don't understand why a live service game that is already successful would need more than a skeleton crew. I don't think they would understand it even if you explained it with crayon drawings.
-
JP (@Joepic8049) reported@IGN Release a **** game like Starfield instead of putting resources into Elder Scrolls. Sounds like a managment problem
-
Brook (@huttese_bebop) reported@GenePark probably not. I've been playing Elder Scrolls on PC since childhood, I resent Microsoft for buying up every loose studio they could to feed game pass thinking they had the next infinite money glitch in gaming, only to shutter these studios and lay off generational talent.
-
Ren (@ladeeL90) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Why has there been no response from anyone? I’ve deleted and reinstalled, and STILL can’t get onto ESO. This going on day 2 now, and I’m not the only one. If you guys bothered to actually read the replies to your tweet, you’d see that. Fix this, and comp us. This is ridiculous!
-
BabaGod (@BabaGodBanger) reported@Mangalawyer Problem is not having diversity Elder scrolls also have diversity, but like Starfield, it's not forced but lore accurate and with good writing that we don't even need to complain about it Plus,Starfield team just wanted to put their own ideals instead of listening to todd and others, there is a reasn why there are stuff in starfield which make zero sense to be there like that mug and all
-
Ahmad (@Ahmad22828737) reportedNah **** that the problem is you’ve STOPPED MAKING THE GAMES WE LOVE, legendary studio turned to ****, I was a CHILD when Skyrim came out, I’m about to BUY A ******* HOUSE IN THIS ECONOMY AND ELDER SCROLLS 6 IS SOMEHOW STILL 2-3 YEARS AWAY, **** YOU DIE
-
shoghun (@Jeanmarclouis79) reported@ZakkenKloot @vicious696 The issue is he wants to play XBOX games on PlayStation, he wants to play Elder scrolls 6 on playstation , which is his right , don’t be fooled by this dude and I hope Asha does not put it playstation , just to see that uproar from this guy and the likes of paul tassi
-
McBee (@McBeeHS) reported@skitten_hund Bethesda went to the live service model so the Elder Scrolls story has been progressing in ESO. You'll likely just be in a new age of Elder Scrolls when you rejoin. Starfields problem were load screens and barren planets. Gameplay and systems were fine. They're probably holding back to see what Fable and GTA 6 can put out for a stable world with NPCs that live in it before committing.
-
Captain OG (@CaptainOGBobby) reported@IGN They should have moved on like 5 years ago. That’s the issue with these studios, they beat their games for Pennie’s when development of new games (with dedicated focus) would pay out more. We should have an elder scrolls online 2 at this point
-
Trixie (@TrixieSharra) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Cant login it keeps saying unexpected error, fix it please
-
Shadow K.M. (@shadowgirl1976) reported@TESOnline Please fix it so people can actually get in the dam gate.
-
Lavafoxx (@KC_Capnhuh) reported@J_C_Lovecraft @memeslich there is a version you can buy on GoG that is compatible with most modern systems. also, the instruction booklet has a great recipe for banana bread. the ownership of the IP is now in microsoft's hands, i been joking for years they should get bethesda to take the IP over. they got fantasy (elder scrolls) and technological (fallout) so one that combines the two would fit well. only problem with that idea, its bethesda we're talking about lol.
-
The Labyrinthian (@Labyrinthusian) reported@MMORPGcom @TESOnline Content wise its pretty good. The problem was always the boring combat. I got 2000 hours into it. Open world siege PvP was amazing.

Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reportedWhile I'm very happy that Xbox plans on investing more in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, my one concern is that I don't want them to turn The Elder Scrolls into a vending machine of spin offs. 15 years is way too long between games, but we don't want the opposite issue where there's too much of it. What I think @Xbox should do is make The Elder Scrolls have a bigger impact when it comes to media. I see so much Fallout merch, and even annual gatherings, it would be nice to see The Elder Scrolls get that same treatment, especially with Elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise. I also think that we are due for a new trailer for TES VI. I definitely love Bethesdas short reveal to release window, but I think pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on TES VI would be a good thing. They can still save a full reveal for a later date. This year marks 15 years since Skyrim, so I can't think of a better time. It's been so long between entries, I really think a new reveal is in order with a title reveal. Even an in engine short teaser would do wonders for us Elder Scrolls fans. on the topic of Fallout, I don't mind if other studios get to do a spin off. It happened with New Vegas while BGS was busy with Skyrim, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't happen again. Or a remaster of Fallout 3 even, which is apparently coming. More remasters would do wonders. #Elderscrolls #Fallout

monke (@air_bagged) reported@GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.
-
Doomseer Jones (@doomseerjones) reported@UESP_net The 7 years burnt on Starfield could’ve produced both a new Elder Scrolls and new Fallout game, and had it done so, there’d be a lot less people losing their jobs right now. What an unforced error…
-
ArchRabbit (@ArchRabbitTV) reported@TESOnline Somehow, you’ve got to fix that first quest because we’ve got bought account spamming the button making it so that nobody can get in or you’ve got people being impatient going in and out blocking other people from going in being toxic like no other
-
Russell Devries (@Barredfox1991) reported@Grim_Dutch @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline If it's taken 11 yrs to get to that point where you're hopeful they might be able to do something good; that may be part of the issue.
-
Psycho-Froggy (@PsychoFr0ggy) reported@JuiceHead33 I think that it shouldn’t take a decade to get another elder scrolls game. We went from Morrowind to Oblivion in 3-4 years. Oblivion to Skyrim in 5. There is clearly issues at Bethesda if they can’t manage to get a single game out that they announced more than a decade ago.
-
vhkrn (@vhkrnzo) reported@aletthius @TESOnline Henards library is broken. Quest stuck no options for anything.

Der Kernel (@Der_Kernel_) reportedLet’s pretend that 15 year gaps between a series is okay. Let’s just pretend that’s fine. Let’s pretend that you really need all this extra time to make it just right, even though Skyrim took only 7 years and they also released fallout 3 in between. Let’s pretend that Bethesda is pushing out rockstar level of quality games. Let’s pretend that you can actually justify the timetables with the level of polish. Let’s pretend every Bethesda game has been bug free and never had any technical issues at launch. And Let’s also pretend that if they did, they were swiftly patched and fixed and wouldn’t still be suffering on a particular Japanese console years after release. Let’s pretend that it’s critical for Todd Howard to touch every aspect of the game. Let’s pretend he is the only key to success. Why in Oblivion would you NOT allow other companies to run spin offs of the IP. Why WOULDN’T you push for a New Vegas 2? From purely a business decision how does it not make sense to have Elder scrolls spin offs? Not even a small RTS game? Really? Can ANYONE actually explain how this makes a lick of sense when New Vegas has become the cult classic? Any excuse beyond pettiness? Beyond selfishness?

FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported440 unionized Bethesda and ZeniMax workers laid off. Now the people making The Elder Scrolls 6 are warning about delays, crunch, and QA hotfixes before the game even has a public roadmap. That’s not “production is hard.” That’s management deciding the people who ship the game are the part it can absorb. If your workers need a march to tell you the schedule is broken, the schedule was never real.
-
PlayLaughLogan (@PlayLaughLogan) reported@JuiceHead33 The actual problem is that most of the time we spend waiting isn't the same time that they're spending making the game. Skyrim came out in 2011 and they only *started* active development of Elder Scrolls 6 in 2023.

Feldman9000 (@CoryFeldman2000) reported@Stallion83 Ways for Xbox to win: 1. Stick to the big IP's (although this was a problem at one point) 2. Name the new system Xbox 720 3. Show commitment to both digital and physical 4. Make playing online free 5. Drop game pass altogether or make it $10-$15 for indie games / legacy titles 6. Launch system with Elder Scrolls 6 7. Just make their games based off of what they were during the 360 days 8. Lean in to nostalgia of the 360 since we are at that point 9. Players can use current controllers on new system to help save money. 10. Make COD exclusive/timed exclusive 11. More console exclusives

Reece “Kiwi Talkz” Reilly (@kiwitalkz) reported@MAJ_Starman You dont think it was irresponsible to release a trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 when the game wasn't even in development?? TES 6 didnt start production until late 2023, 5 years after the announcement. Fallout 5 couldve been given to Obsidian to make years ago. Bethesda prints money, my issue is with how they have managed the POTENTIAL of Elder Scrolls and Fallout given how MASSIVE those IP are.
-
Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reportedAvowed could've been an Elder Scrolls spinoff. I respect Obsidian for trying to do something half-orginal tho. **** Bethesda and Todd Howard, how you keep your biggest IPs on live service hell for a decade!?
