Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
James Bianco (@JamesRBianco_) reportedOpening quest broken, no response from @TESOnline - rogue’s house not counting all 4 fragments. You didn’t get it right.
-
Neon Daybreak (@_neondaybreak_) reported@TESOnline Idc what sheogorath did to her, I can fix her
-
Jiggylookback (@jiggylookback) reported@BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years ago.

Yellow High Voltage Rat (@5h42k7007h50up) reportedLook, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported@Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much
-
Alonso A (@WaifusTrash) reported@SynthPotato It was a massive problem for Starfield because everything needed a loading screen. This is not much of a problem in Elder Scrolls or Fallout. There is a lot more to explore and see between the loading screens. This is something that was severely lacking in Starfield.
-
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
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline so my game finished reinstalling like 30 minutes ago and its still broken.
-
Karea Shaver (@ShaverKare94651) reported@TESOnline That all those people lost their jobs because Microsoft is a greedy money grubbing can't say those words on here. The best thing Microsoft could do is hire them back right now. Or elder scrolls and all that money will go bye-bye. We don't want your maintenance problems Microsoft.
-
Bt-7274 (@Dimah_bA) reported@_bryanisreal @fuckusernamejor @daviruz Remind me. Didn’t Elder Scrolls 5 have micro transactions that started the whole mess we are in currently? I don’t see the issue in grinding levels. They were trying something new? It’s a good game On its own
-
KhajiitCook (@Lgbt_Cherry) reported@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.
-
MeepMorp (@LiliasAmell) reported@GenePark it would be an elder scrolls without PC modders to fix it so.... no
-
Lé Wet Baguette (@WetBreadSticc) reported@xaviersonline_ why is it assumed that you must “age out” of the hobby? Nobody talks that way about enjoying movies or similar. anyways tho it’s **** elder scrolls, no one cares anymore and it’s gonna be ‘build your own castle’ slop and that’s the main issue, aging out or not.
-
AP on 𝕏 (@AntiPar2ival) reported@SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.
-
Weathering The Storm (@StolenDaughter) reported@TESOnline I installed today's patch and can't log in because it doesn't recognize the patch... fix this immediately.
-
Kain_N_ (@KainN05032201) reported@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
-
Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported@HazzadorGamin That trailer was the telling everybody that after Starfield it's going to be Elder Scrolls. The problem is again, that implied it was already in actual development and therefore would have been out maybe a year or two after Starfield, that isn't the case.
-
Jonathan.G (@Jonathan2134) reportedI remember this problem with elder scrolls: morrowind and other times. People don't own jack crap can just mute your audio.

nair (@nair_rose_) reportedhalo 7 minecraft 2 gears 6 psychonauts 3 dishonored 3 the elder scrolls VI fallout 5 prey 2 call of duty black ops 8 call of duty modern warfare 5 doom eternal 2 quake 5 crash bandicoot 5 spyro 5 diabo V overwatch 3 we are so ******* back
-
Bonafide XP (@BonafideXP) reportedThe Bethesda Address today screams to me, a level of desperation to maintain a calm temperature to the fans. Gamers should never have been asked to wait 10-15 years for a mainline Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, while you milk wallets for a live service game in Fallout 76, a title that no one cares about. Phil should’ve done something about this years ago, but it took a woman from Wisconsin who doesn’t play games to get in that *** and shake things up. Bethesda is on a hidden timer, and I’m still not sure they’re going to deliver. @XBOX
-
Elsonso (@ElsonsoJannus) reported@HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.
-
Hearthywatcher (@hearthywatcher) reported@KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.
-
TransRoofKorean (@TransRoofKorean) reported@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
-
darkprometheus112 (@darkprometheus1) reported@SunnySideBot @9mmsmg Yeah the argue is retarded. They have immediately fired like 1000 or 1500 and another 1000 will be done by the end of the year because they were making games no one ******* wanted this. And with this also, xbox is demanding the studios they bought like bethesda to go back to making games people want and not more live service bullshit. Essentially they told them to actually start heavy dev on elder scrolls 6 instead od slow rolling **** cause of the live service game. Now idk how true this is cause its a rumor that Xbox leadership also told bethesda to not even think of another fallout game and gave that develop to obsidian for right now. Which makes sense cause elder scrolls 6 was announced a decade ago.

Narik (@MusicNarik) reported@lastchalice You use *Oblivion Remastered* as an argument that *The Elder Scrolls VI* needs to be released on PlayStation. But people overlook an important detail: *Oblivion* is part of a strategy defined years ago under the leadership of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond as part of "Project Latitude" when the priority was expanding Xbox games to other platforms. Strategies change. Leadership changes. The market changes. If Asha Sharma truly intends to rebuild the value of the Xbox brand, *The Elder Scrolls VI* is precisely the kind of game that should remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. We are talking about an IP capable of selling consoles, strengthening Game Pass, giving consumers a clear reason to choose Xbox, and even weakening the competition's catalog in the next generation. Exclusivity has never been a problem for Sony, Nintendo, or any company looking to strengthen its ecosystem. On the contrary, it creates an identity for the platform. Xbox's biggest mistake was abandoning that differentiator; now, they are going to pursue it more aggressively. And that is absolutely right: if you want to play games from Bethesda, ABK, and Xbox Game Studios, buy an Xbox, subscribe to Game Pass, or buy the game on Steam—PlayStation and Switch won't have access to these games anymore!

Samurai0 (@SAMURAISAM0) reported@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.
-
The It Factor 💫 MMA Betting (@TheItFactorMMA) reported@kidthewiiz @NikTek Is there no way to middle ground it for something like Elder Scrolls 6 to fix their city population issues that people complained about in Skyrim? Have your run of the mi interactable NPC count and backfill with these shallow NPCs?
-
Soup (@The_Soupinator) reported@WinC_Gaming Yeah that's the big problem. Exclusives mean nothing unless they have must-have games (released regularly) to back that plan up. Halo hasn't been that for a LONG time and they're going to need more than just Elder Scrolls 6 which is still years off.
-
xbotjimmy (@Killanitis) reportedOutside of Live service games like elder scrolls online fallout 76 and blizzards live service games everything else should be exclusive

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.
