    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline 10+ yrs. BG/Cyro servers has been absolutely atrocious on PC/NA! for that 10+ yrs we have asked for a fix to the lag and in some cases Full on freeze for a good 15-20sec. Instead of adding content to these servers how bout we actually fix it(Maintenance)

    @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

    @lohipuikko @pssucks80155 @Nick_Marseil Timed exclusives solves this problem IMO. Gears E-Day? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fable? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fallout 5 & Elder Scrolls 6? 12 months only on Xbox/PC. You get my drift

    @AndresRestart I think the problem with the Star Fox designs is that certain angles and poses make them look really bad. It's like making an Elder Scrolls character who looks great from the front, but then you do the side profile and see that you really ****** up.

    @foxgirlfrot you could fix me,,,,,, yapping about dumb elder scrolls lore while being held WOULD fix me

    @Frogboyx1Gaming @asha_shar If Sony owned ABK/Zenimax. Xbox would never see Crash, Spyro, Call of duty (after contract is up) Starfield, Elder Scrolls and so on. Xbox is not trying to beat Playstation. They're trying to monetize them. While destroying their own brand. It's fine that only Xbox share games.

    @Swurv__ CD wasn’t even that good. It’s a complete non issue to elder scrolls 6

  • ScottyDo48
    TheHotnessZN (@ScottyDo48) reported

    @TESOnline None because the “talk to the curator” quest step is broken

  • GenericNPC187
    GenericNPC (@GenericNPC187) reported

    @Swurv__ I don’t know about that. The Elder Scrolls used to be the gold standard in open-world RPG’s, but since then the industry has shifted dramatically and there’s a lot of competition. Elder Scrolls has a Bethesda problem if anything.

  • Chris_GWW

    @Swurv__ Crimson Desert isn't an Elder Scrolls killer but it's showing us what could... People say Skyrim holds up but I can't play it again without a few thousand mods, Lorerim/Nolvus completely revamp the game to a modern standard and I can't go back to vanilla. I enjoyed it in it's time but it's dead for anyone that's already been there done that... let's be honest. Bethesda has nothing to worry about on sales and player numbers on release day but they should be worried about retention. I can't play Starfield it's the same old jank it just looks a little better but in a few years once Bethesda tosses it aside and modders do their magic I'll probably put a thousand hours more on it. I'll pre order it the morning of release and wait a couple weeks before the refund deadline to play it, see if Bethesda has improved or not because I can't do another plain three slash bethesda game, I just can't it's 30 years old. It took them until starfield just to figure out ladders... LADDERS meanwhile FO4 modders made functional ladders in their engine they said couldn't do it lol that should be telling us something. The lore will save it, the lore is what most of us care about, we live with the bethesda jank but we shouldn't have to. They also forced their lore writer out, that's a problem...

    @vicious696 What about elder scrolls 6 then ? It looks like if game have high sales potential it will not be on the service. Thats the dangerous precedent and to be honest it’s killing the whole point of gamepass.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline last “maintenance”caused server issues on my end. Even more than usual -Micro freezes/stutters in all zones includes PvP/BG where in PvP Freezes/Stutters is a massive issue -Grass textures constantly popping in/out causing frame drops -FIX THE SERVER! -4070Ti super i513600k 32gb

  • 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.

  • Zen_Darius
    Zendarius (@Zen_Darius) reported

    @Asmoden3 @TESOnline It's the replacement for daily/weekly endeavor seals and probably some of the missing daily login rewards

    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

    We gotta beat elder scrolls YouTubers with the mace of molag bal for spewing the **** that oblivion leveling is bad and remaster fixed it when the issue is the unique pool is still level scaled horribly and enemy pool of levels still is just reach a breakpoint and its all ogres

  • EnderRising
    Ender Rising (@EnderRising) reported

    @GameOnJesse @DestinLegarie COD will be the first then Elder Scrolls, followed by the next Halo, Gears, etc. Slippery Slope. Everyone saying reduce the price don’t even realize every streaming service has gone up or had features such as 4K streaming.

    @MedeirosDa61624 @TESOnline Exactly, it’s your experience. Unfortunately it’s not everyone’s experience. It doesn’t take much to see all the forum, reddit, facebook posts and most importantly what you hear in your community. It’s a growing issue across servers but I’m sure some are worse than others.

    @HexTheCatMeow sly cooper crash bandicoot star fox rpgs with "furry" choices like elder scrolls, modded fallout, baldur's gate, world of warcraft ark SA has some decent furry PC replacers.

    @TESOnline So I can play the Night Market on a different character but can’t start the main quest with the curator on it? Please fix this.

    @TESOnline If Vengeance is your answer to the pvp issues that plague endgame, then do us all a favour please, Make it a separate entity and just leave what we have had - alone. If people want to play a slower game, non cp server - then let them. If they want Icereach - let them.

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Going on 3 weeks now since I paid for one month of ******* ESO Plus and you sons of ******* keep escalating it, quit dodging the ************* problem and send me my goddamn money back!

    @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

    @Draven_X_23 @Dexerto You really think Elder Scrolls 6 is going to be good after Fallout 76, Starfield, and the Oblivion remaster which is still broken?

  • fivetide
    fivetide (@fivetide) reported

    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

    @joseagu59410157 @GamingAzoozDev @TESOnline Did any of your addons require you to change the game files in any way? If you're playing through steam you can validate your files. I don't want to assume anything though, so what exactly have you done to try and fix this? Then I can see what else you could try.
