    Anyone else having problems getting into #ESO? @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport

  • jonathonshirle1 Winter (@jonathonshirle1) reported

    @TESOnline Hey ummm, I’m a brand new player and joined dungeon que yesterday, it seems the group leader logged off and now I’m eternally stuck inside of a group that I can’t leave, is there any fix for this at all?

  • D3RGUN563 Dergun-y Boi (@D3RGUN563) reported

    @TESOnline The game is literally unplayable at all hours on both servers, yet you still find a way to squeeze more content out. Seriously guys. Fix the connectivity issues FIRST, THEN worry about new stuff. We can't enjoy the new content if we LITERALLY CANNOT PLAY THE GAME.

  • FraserMegaDrive FMD🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺🇲🇹 (@FraserMegaDrive) reported

    @KevinRo14830513 @JJayB_6 @GameRiotArmy Based on what? They are moving to be a service available at many places as possible. Having their faces everywhere helps that. I am certain any new Elder Scrolls game, Fallout game, etc. Will be on PS5

  • guy_liguilli Ray Kursif (@guy_liguilli) reported

    @OkamiMemories @TESOnline It's probably a bug. Got the same issue and the max health goes back to normal after a while (in DJ and Raid for me)

  • OG_GamerDame85 BJ (@OG_GamerDame85) reported

    Playing @TESOnline and per usual crash after crash. 🙄

  • JackHighStr8t MingusJuice (@JackHighStr8t) reported

    @tekartha I would say elder scrolls is in close competition, I think on the service it ES has more than destiny, but I can’t argue destiny might be more interesting.

  • KalitoSlime Kalito (@KalitoSlime) reported

    @TESOnline Its going to lag anyway

  • FlavianSophist Dr. Kira Jones, unaccredited prismatoid (@FlavianSophist) reported

    First, there is a large volume of complaints about the same problem that requires a special team and a copy/paste response. Second, @BethesdaSupport and @TESOnline have no intention of owning up and making this up to players who got screwed over.

  • aviditysounds anthony (@aviditysounds) reported

    @TheMtnEagle my friend gave me his login for elder scrolls online, might try to play that soon

  • KuniStreams Kuningatar #VTuber (@KuniStreams) reported

    @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport I am having trouble getting a straight answer. Is there going to be a physical CE for Blackwood? I do not see one available for pre-order.

  • ZoltanRises Eric Z Ury (@ZoltanRises) reported

    @TESOnline More like Midyear lagfest. We keep pumping out content but ****** if we fix it.

  • Faucius Eric Barnett (@Faucius) reported

    Well the whole @TESOnline might be a bust. Fresh install of the game and it's not letting me connect to the servers because of a 301 and 334 error. Tight... @BethesdaSupport what gives?

  • KarmaMoon84 Karma Moon (@KarmaMoon84) reported

    @TESOnline Only One extra campaign per type on Xbox... Ques insane and BROKEN. Sat through que 8 time to get in at all. Original que 4:45pm got in at 12:15! Hope today is better!

  • D3RGUN563 Dergun-y Boi (@D3RGUN563) reported

    @TESOnline I really want to try getting into this game. New content is always interesting, especially since I haven't played since launch. Some advice, though, maybe you should focus on the connectivity issues with the game instead of new content. I literally cannot play at any time of day

  • iNSiMulATioN66 iNSiMulATioN (@iNSiMulATioN66) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline When are you dip shits gonna fix dawn breaker. The skill maybe will connect 25% if the time on consoles

  • whatcenturyisit whatcenturyisthislad (@whatcenturyisit) reported

    @BethesdaSupport My server connection keeps timing out and I can't log into "The Elder Scrolls Online" is this an ongoing issue?

  • KalitoSlime Kalito (@KalitoSlime) reported

    @TESOnline Remember to go into pvp with proc sets it’s the only thing that works through the LAG

  • CanadianDog Darrell (@CanadianDog) reported

    @TESOnline When it didn't lag

  • PSfanat1c PSfanatic (@PSfanat1c) reported

    @BethesdaSupport and @TESOnline could you please fix the server disconnect every time I enter a group in cyrodiil

  • Elfide32731974 Elfide (@Elfide32731974) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport Is something going on with the Skyrim's Mods Server??? The "Operation could not be completed" error is occuring again

  • asuitandty Tyler Underhill (@asuitandty) reported

    @TESOnline Argonian tails clip through everything. There are a few Argonian specific styles with kilts. It would look a lot better if at least those few specific kilts could be re-modelled with their tail in mind. There are only a handful of motifs that would need this fix.

  • perry_nkosi Nicky Perry (@perry_nkosi) reported

    @YongYea I choose Xbox because Sony did not allow mods for Skyrim on PS4. Been playing Skyrim since launch. Heavily modded. I needed my Elder Scrolls fix. Microsoft! They made that $7.5 billion back. Twice over. By The Gods! Thanks for the info. I'm out.

  • DrgnProductions Lucas Adams (@DrgnProductions) reported

    @TurqoiseGravy7 @AshnDust27 @TESOnline To my understanding the Midyear Mayhem happens twice a year. One event for the current broken meta and another for the next updates broken meta.

  • PSfanat1c PSfanatic (@PSfanat1c) reported

    @TESOnline @TESOnline could you please fix the server disconnect every time I enter a group in cyrodiil

  • Faucius Eric Barnett (@Faucius) reported

    @Namaslays @TESOnline @BethesdaSupport No idea what could be wrong! Downloaded it from their site, patched, signed in, got the error, did a file repair, added firewall exceptions, still nothing. It's like they don't want me to play lol.

  • stinkybeans84 Stinky Beans (@stinkybeans84) reported

    @TESOnline Clicking the attack button 8 times but the attack doesn't happen until 10 seconds later because of server lag.

  • FlavianSophist Dr. Kira Jones, unaccredited prismatoid (@FlavianSophist) reported

    I tried refreshing. I tried relogging. I tried closing the @Twitch app and reopening it. There. Was. No. Option. I know I'm not the only one who had a problem because every time @TESOnline would remind us to redeem a crate, chat would instantly be saying that they couldn't.

  • zarrocc Zar'Roc (@zarrocc) reported

    @TESOnline I really wonder if you are committed to serving the customers? I opened multiple tickets on the same issue only for some agent to send random nonsense that solves nothing. Guess what? I can tell they didnt even read the ticket before replying. Disgusting!

  • paladicked Paladick (@paladicked) reported

    The only problem with the elder scrolls as a whole is no shortstacks
