PC/Mac Patch Notes v8.1.6

ZOS_GinaBruno

The Elder Scrolls Online v8.1.6 fixes the issue where the effects from Crushing Wall would be lost when bar swapping, the Empower buff being dropped from Oakensoul after dying, and also reduces the healing from Mara’s Balm by about half. We’ve also made a few adjustments to some mobs in the Graven Deep dungeon and fixed a few additional smaller issues.

Additionally, we will also be granting rewards for any players affected by the Tales of Tribute ranked match issue that surfaced after Update 35 launch; you can read more details about this here.

The size of this patch is approximately 140MB.

  Developer Comment:
  We are continuing to monitor this set’s interaction with frequently applied debuffs - such as snares from ticking abilities - and are attempting to find better overall solutions to ensure this set remains impactful when being afflicted with many incoming negative effects, but not over bearing in other cases.

General

• You will no longer be blocked from entering an alliance locked campaign after using an Alliance Change Token.

Witches Festival

• Fixed a very rare issue where the Crowborne Horror could spawn twice, as well as an associated issue where rapidly exiting and re-entering the arena would sometimes cause it to not spawn. 

Furnishings

• Adjusted the collision for the “High Isle Walkway, Straight Castle” furnishing to better match its visual appearance.  Most notably, you can now actually walk on the bottom, instead of sinking up to your armpits in stonework.
• Fixed an issue where the “Sea Elf Galleon Helm” Antiquity furnishing was a little overzealous about its newfound ability to spin indefinitely and would keep spinning even after you told it to stop. It now spins continuously when active and stops when deactivated.

Homes

• Fixed an issue that caused some of the mystical barriers in Seaveil Spire to become invisible. These once again match how they looked when the home was initially released.

General

• Fixed a crash related to the number of custom keybinds that had been saved.
