The Elder Scrolls Online Issues Reports
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
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.
-
Renlos Malik (@renlosmalik) reported@HannyahZ What classifies as old? Cyberpunk, Witcher, elder scrolls, god of war, fallout. I think what you mean to say is it doesn’t have online required games, shocker. Maybe that’s the issue in the first place.

Lightstreamfader (@Lightstream01) reportedActual cursed prohect, Elder Scrolls V.I has to follow: Bethesda's most disapointing game (Starfield) Broken game (Fallout 76) AND lauded game (Skyrim) and the game they most need to recapture, is the one modern Bethesda is least related to...

Enlightened Serf 🇬🇧 🇮🇴 (@enlightenserf) reportedAfter 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.

Draco Potter (@DragonLord985) reported@TESOnline Fix the damn bug of only allowing one at the manor for the Codex Caper

WSxYNG (@BlindCodes) reportedYou know what ******* choice I got? To not play that ****. To leave Sony and get a ******* Xbox, they still sale CDs for you disc jockeys. Everything else is based off what if.. What if they close the servers? Then you can’t play anyway. What if I wanna play 10 years later? Why would you wanna do that? Gaming is far evolved from that, that’s why GTA is so special. It’s one of the only games that run that long these days. ****** still playing on they same elder scrolls accounts from ******* high school bro Same COD account since high school. Your preference for a CD is to merely own what you paid for and you have every right .. But they’ve made gaming an experience, you experience this **** till we either shut it down or make a new title. I don’t see what the issue is when you’re not currently playing anything right now more than a year old thats not GTA. Make it make sense

Nomadic Reply (@nomadicreply) reported@Grummz The industry keeps acting confused while the answer is right in front of them. Fallout 76 and ESO soaked up years of time and resources while fans have been begging for a new Elder Scrolls. Most players don’t want endless live service slop, cash shops, and seasonal grinds. They want the next great RPG. Stop giving people what investors want and start giving them what gamers actually asked for.

recon (@longshotrecon) reported@KingFanMan @Microsoft 14 layers of management is far too many. Nothing moves efficiently when every idea and decision has to fight its way through that much bureaucracy. Here’s a simple way to picture it: Try dragging a 140-pound weight across the room. It’s doable, but it’s exhausting, you move slowly and burn through a ton of energy. Now take away 90–110 pounds and try again. The lighter load travels much farther, much faster, with far less effort. When that “weight” represents creative ideas, design decisions, and priorities, too many layers create massive drag. The result is stagnant complacency. Xbox needs to be able to move again. We need quality over quantity. Bethesda should have been much further along with The Elder Scrolls VI by now, and a new mainline Fallout game should feel more imminent especially after the huge momentum from the TV series. Instead, for years resources went toward supporting live service titles like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online while the big single player RPGs that define the studio took a backseat. The hardcore players who keep those live service games running do valuable work, but they don’t move consoles or create the same cultural moments that a major new Elder Scrolls or Fallout release does. I do feel bad for the people who got laid off plenty of talented developers got caught up in this. Spreading the studio too thin across too many projects clearly wasn’t working. Hopefully this reset forces a sharper focus on the core franchises so the next big games actually land with real impact.

Rizzi (@Rizzi208) reported@FlyBy1444 @TESOnline Im waiting for them to fix a bug I reported to play again, mainly because it really bothers me
-
Dutch 🇻🇦 (@Grim_Dutch) reported@grlicking @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline Game consistently disconnects still. I’m in the game right now and got disconnected an hour ago. Devs don’t listen. Years ago we told them about Cyro problems. They didn’t care to fix it.
-
darkprometheus112 (@darkprometheus1) reported@Recna8 @EndymionYT No it isnt. Hes talking about fallout and who they havent done **** with it. Fallout is a Bethesda title. Xbox is pissed off at Bethesda foe not making a new fallout game so the rumor is the told Bethesda to unfuck themselves and develop elder scrolls 6 which was announced 10 years ago and is supposed to be the next big thing adter starfield Xbox ripped this next fallout game to obsidian cause they own both. Todd Howard though likes his live service games like elder scrolls online and fallout 76.

AP (@BStapIes) reported@JackmoveJohnny I was expecting it to be worse tbh. I had read that everyone not working on Fallout/Elder Scrolls were gone
-
Ryan Strange (@RyanStrange15) reported@NebsGoodTakes It’s funny to me how Bethesda tried the live service thing with Elder Scrolls, it didn’t work, and they still thought it was a good idea to do with Fallout.
-
❦ Asif ❦ (@Asif_not_here) reported@Grummz "Anybody not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk." Wait until these games are finished... heads will roll
-
Dannydangersenpai (@dannyboywood1) reported@TESOnline Why is season 1 all pink and sparkly. I'm not gay or anything. Is the lead a woman or something? Seems to be the issue everywhere
-
Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported@Big__TeeJ @FL1NTZ @Zarathos88 They're not the same. Your original post was whataboutism and you conveniently left out cuts at arkane and zenimax where the current rumors are "anyone not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk" just to say "look Sony is just as bad as Xbox with this one studio".

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

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 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

Warhammer111285 (@Warhammer11_12) reported@DMC_Ryan Asha had the ***** to do what the world wanted She also has the ***** to make elder scrolls, fallout, doom, wolfenstein, starcraft, 1st/3rd person warcraft game, crash bandicoot, spyro etc all the new permanently exclusive Flagship franchises of XBOX after seeing the world beg for exclusives. She saw that gears, forza halo never worked they were can't Carry a brand in this age. A DECADE THE WORLD BEGGED FOR EXCLUSIVES AND THEN PHIL AND SARAH PUT EVERYTHING ON PLAYSTATION when Playstation had NOTHING TO COMPETE. F'ing morons Phil and Sarah are an embarrassment
-
Virkokka (@virkokka) reported@SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.
-
Wiggyr of Hyperborea (@wiggartha) reported@Its_Jabo The only people that play this game are women with no interest in the elder scrolls. This game has directly cost manpower needed working towards elder scrolls 6. More than that, though, companies will let a live service game run its course before they spend money on smth new
-
Savior_Gaming (@Savior_Gaming) reported@GameReviewGuy Don't get me wrong, exclusives are important as they are currently finding out. But certain titles that literally can't make exclusive without finding themselves in serious legal trouble. I know COD and Fable are on the list. I believe Fallout and Elder scrolls may be as well.
-
Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) reportedThere's rumors going around that anyone NOT working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls could be facing layoffs (at Zenimax). This is a total reset as Sharma has said. All in on their big IP franchises and if you dont fit that vision, you are on the chopping block.
-
Trixie (@TrixieSharra) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Cant login it keeps saying unexpected error, fix it please
-
Nero (@nighttime1998) reported@GrassTroll @xaviersonline_ Skyrim at least had a pretty decent world to help make up for its issues. Still far from the best elder scrolls game, but I do still prefer it more than fallout 4. Althouugh I will probably never play it again anyway. As after you've explored the world, the only reason the game became worth owning was for mods. But even that gets boring after a while.
-
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.
-
Landon (@GATerps02) reported@katanaollie @ZakkenKloot Assuming elder scrolls 6 is good. Who knows maybe a live service game with micro transactions.
-
darkprometheus112 (@darkprometheus1) reported@WinC_Gaming oh idk...when you make a ******* game that people want to buy rather than make a never ending live service Elder Scrolls or Fallout game that no one wants.
-
Jay (@JayHob) reported@LukeDutchh Totally agree. £100 for GTA6 or Elder Scrolls 6 is fair. Problem is EA etc will see this and start charging £100 for FC/2K etc 😩
-
Daniel Ratterree (@RatterreeDaniel) reported@GameReviewGuy It doesn't matter. Most play live service. Of the rest most won't move or they'll go to PC. Sony has never been about the exclusives. It's the third party that sells PlayStation. Elder Scrolls/Fallout do offer an interesting test of that but for sure Halo/Forza wont move anyone
