I heard a rumor that guild banks that were only accessible to the GM and officers were left exposed to theft before they shut things down. Is this true? When I access my guild bank tomorrow will all my stuff still be there? Anybody have any official information on this?

Guilds have good reasons to be excited about the update, too. Guild leaders can now create custom guild ranks and design their own guild tabard. There are tons of icons, colors, and tabard shapes available, so pick your favorites and put your guild’s identity on display. There’s more: guild stores can now be found throughout Tamriel. On a weekly basis, your guild can bid on one of these locations. If you win, your guild’s store will be available to the public, and you’ll make some gold from the sales!

Funny how none of it is working but it's written as if there was nothing wrong.

Yay!! Guild has been updated!! But too bad guys, you won't be able to use it! In fact, you won't be able to use anything guild related! Be it updated or not! We screwed up even after a full month of PTS testing!! Woohoo!

It was not release unfinished. It was release with an error which they quickly working on fixing. You need to chill and think logically. I like that they are fixing the problem instead of letting it persist. Quit with all of the negative.

Maybe the tester screwed up, cause no one tested guild feature?
Maybe it is a bug that only occurs with guilds already created? In that case it would not show up during PTS.

But yeah, blaming others is always easy. We all know that YOU will never ever do any mistakes.

yes they are fixing problem quickly like the item not stacking in the guild bank to this day and it only started when the game was release (Golf Crap) way to go guys that is some speed,fixing class abilities that was broke from day one like the nightblade just got fixed in this patch, damn you guys are fast thank you for being there when we need you,oh wait you wasn't you was making stuff look pretty like putting more light bulbs in the building so we could see the abilities not work.I seen a snail say move over I need by, I got places to be. That is how fast the ESO crew is moving.

eventide03b14a_ESO · August 2014

We have not been able to enjoy all the new features since most of them seem to be broken. I'll let you guys know as soon as you fix them.

jerzey_gamer · August 2014

Damn, was really lookin forward to this patch. A little bummed to see that everyone is having so many issues with it. Hope they get it fixed ASAP.

mistermacintosh · August 2014

@ZOS:

Thanks for update 3 (and fixing guilds). I love the dye stations! I'm really excited about the stuff you're working on for later - justice system & spell crafting in particular.

Pretty much every gripe I've had with this game has been addressed/fixed and I appreciate it, because I still very much want this game to succeed. It really feels good to know you guys have been listening.

Try not to burn yourselves out too much with these next few updates.

Hence what I have said before better for them to fix it now then let it persist. Not everybody experience having the same problem. Its very hard to fix a problem for this many people which it could cause more problems for other people. Speed is not necessarily good if you mess up every thing. So it is great that they are improving now rather stay the same way from launch.

Hello!

Very nice with the dye system. It feels like this allows you to make the character really yours.

Unfortunately I've experienced a lot of bugs since the update. I don't know if i had bad luck and is he only one, but here are some of the things I've experienced:

- The game has crashed about 6-7 times in different situations.
- Sometimes when I travel with wayshrines my character changes colour to some kind of purple metal.
- A lot worse fps compared to the last patch.
- I play with bow and two handed for the moment. Sometimes when i change weapons from bow, my character uses the bow as a two handed weapon. Looks kind of cool, but i guess that's not how it supposed to be

- When I use the bow, it looks like it doesn't do any damage to the enemies, then they just stop moving for a while and I cant shoot them with skill-attacks anymore. Then they die.
- Magnum Shot doesn't work properly. It bounces me away (sometimes) but not the enemy.
- I was almost killed by a couple if invisible enemies and had to unleash my ultimate to kill them.
- When questing in Auridon, I fought a couple of deadras. They kept respawning the second I killed them. Every time. That happened with all the deadras in that area.

That's all I can remember. At the moment the game feels like an early alpha/beta version and is almost unplayable (for me at least). Please fix this so I can play my favourite game of all time again

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · August 2014

I really like the new features, however the new patch is full of bugs and poor performance:

- Switching between weapon sets is SLOWER
- Switching weapons displays the wrong weapon (or none)
- Most mobs don't show battle animations
- FPS totally sucks now (choppy and slow)

The dye system is great. It is nice to finally see players that look like individuals instead of looking like everyone else. It could use some improvement though:

- Drag-n-drop instead of clicking
- Better 'true' colors instead of all those ugly pastels

It would be nice in a future patch if there was a way we could change our characters physical attributes. Perhaps I no longer want a beard or perhaps my female character wants to change her hair style or breast size.

I would also like to see food consumption animations match their inventory icons. For example, enriched honey brittle shows a grilled steak in your inventory but when you eat it it shows you munching on a turkey leg. Most foods are like that.

All-in-all this is a great game that I will be playing for year's (as long as you add new maps and quest lines).

Threemoons · August 2014

Agreed with set-switching issues; also, Cyrodil in general needs lots of work. Still getting bugged scroll quests (ie scroll spawning in a territory that my alliance already owns) and constant, I mean CONSTANT crashes for no reason.

I am not having some of the same problems.
-Switching between weapons sets is faster than before
-Mobs still show battle animations for me
-FPS is still the same for me
-Now weapons freezing when I switch them
-2nd weapon bar always appears first even though I am using the first weapon slot, this was happening before the patch.

adskill · August 2014

SOOOOO has anyone else had the problem where all your toons are gone and the game acts like its your first time playing. I was sent the 1 time mail of pledge of mara and the other items for preordering and beta testing is this temporary or what cause i had to reroll a new toon to play for now

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · August 2014

I was playing one of my alts in Auridon and noticed ALL my food is missing from my inventory. When I bought more it did not show up in my inventory. When I picked up food it was not in my inventory. What is going on??? I can't buff my character (mage) for difficult fights now. Please fix this as soon as possible. Thank you.

Arioco396 · August 2014

the next two days this last patch, the game has crashed like 7 times a day, take the last 24 hours without being able to load a character. I have not received a solution, even possibility for the technical service.
the only thing they ask me is the report from my pc. wow, that's new ... maybe too good for this game?
I'm getting tired of the continual crashing of the game, not you try the patches?
give me some solution?

So with this all said.

Wissper · August 2014

If this is the best they can do for a 'major update' I weep for the future of this game. I may restart my subscription if they actually add more content with one of these 'updates', but since this game has been out 3 months and there are no signs of anything new I see no need to renew right now. This update only added functionality that should be standard issue in every modern MMO, and they're acting like they just landed on the moon or something. Guild stores and dye systems are not rocket science.

Best of luck everyone.. and I hope that the devs add more content in the future to keep players interested.

What I was saying is people in the game are leaving at a very fast pace so they better get their *** in gear and fix itor so it will be a ftp or a ptw piece of crap.

Arioco396 · August 2014

after 2 days 7 crashes day, finally I can not play. take five days without being able to play and I'm paying for it. tell me they are going to get an update, but when? honestly never seen a game with so many bugs.
my question is: if I cancel I get my money from here to October? or I have to wait until October stupid face to cancel? since each patch or upgrade forces me to play 3 weeks a month, which is what would have to pay ....

may be too much pc for this game?
