Tales of Tribute issues confirmation and bug fixes ETA, please?

DinoZavr · July 2022

Dear Zenimax,

@ZOS_Kevin,
Tales of Tribute caused a good hype, and got a great player-base support,
however, as this is the first card game release, there are bugs, glitches and some imbalance.
(this includes wrong deserter penalty, broken Legion Arrival achievement, controversial rankings, Orgnum spam and, alas, more)
Please, fix the issues before players start losing theirs patience and interest. The game is great, but, yet, unrefined

Strike while the iron is hot, PLEASE!

Yes, i remember that fixing the Orsinium museum quest took only 13 months.
Could @ZOS, please, fix ToT a tad faster?

Thank you.

Legion's Arrival and Cards Across the Continent progress towards achievement have been acknowledged - though you have to search the support page which doesn't seem to have a "display all issues so I can just look through the newest additions to find what I need rather than needing to know the exact keywords to search for" option. There's no ETA given, though. The rest of the bugs, visual issues, QoL fixes and so on don't seem to have gotten any attention.

Bug fixes don't earn money - new content does. You bought High Isle and have been able to access the content, that's all they owe you.

Play physical deck builders/board games with deck building mechanic instead - there are no (gameplay-halting) bugs with real cards.

This is, sadly, true. And not only ESO prefers to move forward, abandoning the content we, players, had already paid for.
However, seriously broken things are fixed by Zenimax, eventually.
The example is the Antiquities digging minigame - we had to dig for sparkles, not for container due to a programming bug.
My point is if we pay for content - we expect some reasonable quality standards.

In the case of ToT: fixing existing issues and adding new features (like custom tournaments initiated by Guilds officers with automated creation & pre-population a tournament grid, as well as tracking and displaying the results (Guilds require even some love, imho, as, unfortunately, barely nothing is done for Guilds (which are rallying players)) is a win-win situation as Zeni could eventually release ToT as a standalone product, but it should comply a good quality standards then.

Despite it being THE feature of this expansion, no developer has really acknowledged the existence of Tales of Tribute since release other than to say "oops" for some glaring bugs. It's very disappointing. The game itself is better than most people expected I think, but the post-launch support has been abysmal.

Why have seasons if season winners (or top 2%) have no way to show it off? Where is their "Legendary Cardsharp" title or similar?

Where is the community post recapping Season 1(stats, fun facts etc.)? Where is the post on twitter mentioning that xx% of games have had duke of crow patron being used in the final turn and encouraging players to keep playing to discover more strategies?

Where is the attempt to engage the playerbase to try the game? Where is the in-game event/dev stream where players are invited to queue up against the developers in casual?

Instead, the Tales of Tribute section in the forum is filled with bug complaints with no ZOS acknowledgement other than "moved to more appropriate category".
