    @TESOnline Night market quest starter not in the store. The map is broken...can't back out of the zone to see the rest of the map. Everything is hitting way too hard. It's just trash content.

    @TESOnline Let's get Bethesda to actually fix the game so EVERYONE can benefit from the event, they seriously need to fix the issues with ESO+ mine has been inactive for 3 days, but Bethesda had cash last week to pay for 7 months

    @Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

    Xbox failure as a console is unforgivable You had Xbox (Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, Psychonauts, Killer Instinct, Banjo, Conker, etc) + Bethesda (Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Doom) + Activision (Call of Duty, Crash, Spyro) + Blizzard (Overwatch, StarCraft, WarCraft, Diablo) = and still produce the worst console of this gen...so unsuccessful you went full third-party publisher....and are STILL a horrible multiplat publisher Xbox has been an experiment proving that Microsoft is unfit for gaming They need to sell their IP's to more worthy companies and **** gaming

    @Yeenpaws_ @xenosaga7 Canceled gachas is like the norm for the whole industry right now and while I do agree it's a problem it's not exclusive to Tales. The Elder Scrolls Blades just got EoS notice, Square Enix has like 30 closed gachas. I'll just wait for the day when one of the HoYo games gets EoSd.

    @Tycoon28082854 @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Same for me, eso plus is activ, but i havent got the crowns. But its "good" to see im not the only 1 with this Problem. Im sure they gonna fix this soon

  • CameTooFast

    If this is true, @asha_shar , I think the best thing you could do would be to drop the price of ultimate to either $20 or $25 and stagger the addition of yearly COD titles (and possibly others). COD grinders are going to pay full price for each title, regardless of if you say it'll come to GPU in 3 months (There's a lot of people that buy the game through Blizzard launcher anyways). Each COD title feeds into Warzone, so there's an incentive to play each title to level up guns and get an advantage. Putting it at a 3-month stagger for GPU would pull in the sales from those dedicated to the franchise while also giving a good date for those that wouldn't have bought the game no matter what. As for additional benefits, you could look into first party offerings. Fallout 1st would be an easy addition, as would something for Elder Scrolls Online (as I know they just switched strategies from big expansions to seasonal content like the norm). The problem is, the benefits you add have to be beneficial to justify the price hike. You guys raised the price and gave us Fortnite Crew, which is beneficial to a number of people, but a ton of the other GPU benefits are for already F2P titles, most of which no one cares about.

    Blame on Bethesda and their goddamn creation engine. I wouldn't be surprised if The Elder Scrolls VI is gonna have problems too and don't tell me it won't just because it's a ******* updated creation engine. Also, I really think Bethesda likes to **** on Playstation somehow.🤔

  • fivetide

    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

    @TESOnline Weapon "previews" glitch my weapon into an iron dagger for some reason. I still don't know what DLCs are gonna be free. I'm not a big fan of the 12 month premiums tomes deal. I think ESO+ should have those unlocked. I am enjoying it, though.

    the elder scrolls has a scope and scale problem that makes tamriel feel really underwhelming the scope is too wide and the scale is too small

  • 82hoosier

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Please fix Starfield Terran Armada. I own premium edition and it won't let me play the game because it says i don't own it. Your own website says it is included in premium and that only those without it need to pay. Furthermore even premium isn't showing i paid for it

  • Darellano344205
    Darellano (@Darellano344205) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What is the point of performing such lengthy server maintenance when you fail to ban players who use hacks to glitch through the ground in Cyrodiil—and, above all, those bots that farm materials and XP across all of Tamriel? It is contradictory and feels like a mockery of us

    @KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure

    Can Xbox bring back the "console" to compete by making IP exclusive? Yes. Will they? Maybe some. People will buy an Xbox to play CoD, Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. Gamers have an addiction, and @Xbox has a box full of their drugs. Problem is, shareholders won't allow it.

    @vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game

    @tphill779 @TESOnline Yea same here. Ran most of the dailies but not the boss quests there wasn’t enough folks around to get a group. Had no issues on a vamp nb with high regen sneaking around for the other quests

    @DetectiveSeeds Don't have to be a "detective" to tell that CoD is just the start and future big games like Elder scrolls etc will also be absent from GP day one. Xbox will copy ps plus where big games join the service 6-12 months later 🤷🏻

  • ThunderBrush
    Rayph (@ThunderBrush) reported

    @DUSKdev I have no insight on this particular issue but I was the 7th or so artist hired for Elder Scrolls online back when ZOS was considered a sister studio to Bethesda and their company policies were frankly...absurd. Back then working in concept art I sketched everything on pencil/paper and had requested a basic scanner for my desk for months, got fed up and decided to bring in my own only to walk into work the next day to see my entire desk being packed up by IT as they were reading paperwork to fire me for breaking employee-code, thankfully my lead at the time saved my ***. Bethesda is a company/studio that's ran by lawyers and very overzealous leadership first and foremost so something this petty doesn't strike me out of the realm of possibility. I was present for a few town halls when New Vegas was in development and it was fairly palpable that Bethesda main had little love for the New Vegas project.

    @Der_Kernel_ Pretty sure people it's more cope that modders will fix whatever mess Bethesda shits out but modders never bothered with Bethesda's last slop release so I'm not sure why anyone is coping that they'll fix Elder Scrolls 6.

  • Spell_Forged
    Morgaine (@Spell_Forged) reported

    @Pirat_Nation Using an old *** engine The HORRIBLE train wreck Fallout 76 was not just as a game but the entire fraud and bunch of irl issues around it. Then starfield… People saying they dont even expect Elder scrolls 6 to be good anymore is a realistic mindset. Bethesda WAS, but isnt now.

    @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.

  • JakobFel
    Jakob Fel (@JakobFel) reported

    @RinoTheBouncer Not a problem since I'm basically the one person on the planet that's NOT hyped for GTA6. For me, Elder Scrolls 6 is the game I have the most hype for. It's my favorite game series and has been since Morrowind.

  • LegateCorvus
    Corvus (Taylor's Version) 🏳️‍⚧️ (@LegateCorvus) reported

    @Swurv__ That's the main problem. Bethesda perfectly knows that they could sell a pack of **** branded "elder scrolls 6" people would buy it without thinking. That's what they do for 10 years now.
