Hello there, folks! We wanted to pop in and confirm that 1.6 will not be coming to the NA and EU megaservers tomorrow. It will be our routine maintenance.

So prolly towards the end of this week or the beginning of next week.

I find it funny that a audio bug can prevent the update going live, but not the other major bugs which imo are much more important.

The bugs may be major for you and me, but honestly, how many new player will notice that nirnhoned weapons give 100% spell penetration when they start playing on the 17th?

Sound not working, however...

True true... Sometimes I think you are ZOS incognito

Even if not today they might patch it later in the week when they fix the critical bugs... i`m hoping they do!

The unable to gain ultimate bug might be biting them atm...

Honestly they should make everyone aware that this patch needs major live testing and to expect issues. PTS is a good first step, but live testing before a major relaunch is a smart move. ZOS should think about a pop-up MSG letting folks know that a few things on live may be broken if they push this patch out last week of FEB or first week of MAR.

We are PC gamers, we are the beta testers, all they want is to make sure that the game is more or less balanced for the console launch. For them it really does not matter if hell breaks out when the patch goes live.

This is 100% true. They have months before the real launch so we will continue to beta test.

as long as it waits at least another week i'm happy. It is not ready for launch as it is atm. the crazy high damage spikes, the audio bug, and the ultimate gain bug have to be fixed before live.

Its been pretty much confirmed at this point that its not this week. New target is first week of March.

Doing the math, February 31st minus all of February equals March 3rd: 31 - 28 = 3

If the audio bug isn't as elusive as it sounds and fixed early, IMHO the operations team will grease the skids of Sheogorath.

They won't release with the audio bug not fixed, though. However, a negated food buff above an unblockable, nirnhoned uppercut of oneshotness is in our near future.

Why ublockable uppercut?

Source? Or it didn't happen.

I see several threads and forum posts with conjectures, but if anyone here has definitive information ( @ZOS_GinaBruno ) my guildies and I would sure like a heads up. Until then, these are all little more than guesses and supposition.

There was a reference of a german representatives quote somewhere saying that 1.6 will be release early March and not February. Cannot find it atm.

Well I looked on reddit before my previous post where it seems ZOS is usually giddy about releasing information first before the official forums but no such luck. Google searches no dice. but lo and be hold on the German Forums we have information by @ZOS_KaiSchober telling a lively but incomplete portion of subscribers the news. really?

We have moved the release date for this update 6 of the first week of March. We correct a problem that can fail completely the sound in the game (on PTS) at the moment. There are software dependencies in solving the problem, so we postponed the date for Update 6. This additional week it will also allow us other critical problems that may appear in resolve. The displacement of the release of Update 6 does not affect the conversion to Tamriel Unlimited on 17 March. However, it has an impact on the delivery of the new loyalty rewards. The next loyalty rewards, including the mask of Gay slaughter are sent a few days after the release of Update 6 to you. The striped Senche will be sent shortly after the switch to Tamriel Unlimited, which is being launched on 17 March, to your mail boxes in the game. We're also working on an update for our wizarding community - we have read your daily concerns and have you do not forget! Thank you further help us in testing Update 6 and send us as much constructive feedback and suggestions to ESO. This March, an exciting month - we can not wait to spend it with you!

....well @ZOS_KaiSchober here's my "constructive feedback" as requested: hire a communications manager for your whole game community. Hold their feet to the fire. Profit.
