  @TESOnline I downloaded a patch on 13 July, game won’t let me sign in. Deleted game from my PS5, reinstalled, still won’t let me log in. What do I need to do? I saw some comments about deleting saved data but too scared I’ll lose all progress and ££££ I’ve spent.

  @TESOnline Please fix it so people can actually get in the dam gate.

  @KarolWalczak9 @pureMetatron What do you keep doing as time goes on? I gotta get back to that. I have this weird issue I run into with every Elder Scrolls since Morrowind that I spend too much time minmaxing, do random stuff eschewing the main quest, get bored then come back years later and repeat it's sad

  @kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...

  @TheAnnaji They’ve fixed a majority of the gameplay problems but the world is still very boring and sanitized compared to the elder scrolls and fallout.

  @Mark97009631616 @TESOnline Code needs to be consistent and work well a small error in it can cause alot of bugs from other lines of the code and they have to qa check everything and they got way less quality assurance team. So that's two bottlenecks.

  @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.

  Opening quest broken, no response from @TESOnline - rogue’s house not counting all 4 fragments. You didn’t get it right.

  @The_End_602 @valuetainment Lmfaooo, you're the clown, brother. All I own is PlayStations. I have a PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I only own one Xbox, and that was a gift back in 2014. You're the problem with gamers nowadays; it's either one side or the other. Sony ****** up, and I will always call them out on their bullshit. Also, Asha is doing God's work on the Xbox side by whipping Bethesda into shape. Do you know how ******* long I've been waiting for a new Elder Scrolls game, let alone a Fallout 5 announcement? Hell yeah, she's doing better than Sony right now.

  @XboxTimdog Crash, elder scrolls, fallout, and maybe a couple others won’t be exclusive.

  @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!

  @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. The game is what many Elder Scrolls fans have asked for: a 1:1 update with glitches included. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it's tasteful. And in a world where $ 70–$80+ games exist, they listed it at $50. It's not Game of the Year, but it's a totally fine game for people who've wanted to replay Oblivion without it looking like a potato. Bethesda is a horribly managed company, but this was not a miss.

  @Swurv__ Even if it was undeserved (it was) the problem was they weren't making a real elder scrolls/fallout. No one asked for thst shi

  @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

  @aletthius @TESOnline Henards library is broken. Quest stuck no options for anything.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 34 minutes ago

  @MassiveCorgi @BecerratopsTV @pcgamer Bethesda collectively created its own problems. Nobody wanted Starfield; the game sucked, and it ******* most of their resources for years. The market told them "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout 5," but they decided that they knew better. Bethesda employees are losing their jobs because of inside factors, not outside factors. And yeah, it sucks that probably some good developers got caught in that crossfire. But I'm just sick of these companies insulting the player base and then wanting sympathy when they reap what they sow.

  Aside from my hype for fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered, this is just kinda lip service. We’ve known about 3 and new Vegas getting remastered for years and they still have nothing to show for elder scrolls 6

  Damian Bentley (@Domino2097) reported 37 minutes ago

  @GenePark Nope Elder Scrolls was a pc born series and after playing Oblivion on PS3 I refuse to play any other on console cause at least I can fix the bugs on PC

  MOBBDE21 (@MOBBDE21) reported 38 minutes ago

  @IdleSloth84_ He mentioned that before about the live service games. But yeah, Elder Scrolls 6 will likely go exclusive, Fallout 5 will likely be multiplatform.

  Timdog (@XBOXTIMDOG) reported 40 minutes ago

  Kloot that’s not the problem. Is there anyone in the world saying I must get a xbox for gamepass? Thats the Crux of issue If you make elder scrolls 6 exclusive yeah thats what ppl say. The problem is the numbers might not be there to do that and keep day one. It’s all headed towards exclusives and huge AAA being exclusive but no day and date. Been saying this for 5 months. Starting to roost.

  @ther3n3gad3 Great point of view, he messed up badly in '76, and even more so with the game's decisions. They still have the problem with the graphics engine, and they have to deliver The Elder Scrolls; they have a lot to worry about.

  @aaniVibeTheory Idk fallout new vegas if you can polish it a bit and fix bugs without ****** up what was there. Elder scrolls Morowind too... if you mean an upgraded revamp the true crime streets series. Dont kill my wallet though fo an already made polish up. Bought it once prior save my wallet

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline why do you not TEST how a patch will work on all platforms? Im sure out of the 67 people that still work there yall got every platform. i spent money on ESO+ TODAY and i cant even log in. an yeah, i uninstalled and reinstalled the game didnt fix anything. been here since beta

  Alexandre (@Alexandre99665) reported 54 minutes ago

  @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  Moon King Yawaru (@Yawaru) reported 57 minutes ago

  @DanticsOfficial Could they fix it? Sure, but would people rather them work on the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout instead? I’m sure it’s possible to make a good Skyrim in space, but would they rather use Starfield as a platform to sell paid mods? Seems that way to me.

  Phiophill (@Phiophills) reported 58 minutes ago

  @neontaster Again the problem of their bad management probably still exists. Wanting Elder Scrolls, Fallout, ect games out quicker does not make them come out quicker if management is still bad.

  Samurai0 (@SAMURAISAM0) reported 58 minutes ago

  @KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.
