Re: Mass Player Bans Without Explanation
Hi folks, we do not allow discussion of disciplinary actions take on accounts here on the forums. The main reason for that is the Community team is not involved in account-related matters, so we can't really speak to or help with those here. We have a process for appealing suspensions and bans that is explained here. It's important that this process is followed, so appeals get to the right place.
That said, we did ask about these. All of these accounts were found to be directly associated with gold selling and/or chargeback fraud.

Update 51 PTS – Week 1 Summary
Hi everyone! Welcome to our first PTS weekly summary for the Update 51 PTS cycle. In this post, you will find a high-level summary of the Update 51 PTS – Week 1 top feedback points and issues.

Please continue to share your thoughts with us about these summaries. We’ll evolve and optimize them over time with considerations given to team bandwidth, contents, and the right level of detail. Thanks!
Classes and Combat
- Werewolf – Insatiable Hunger [Feedback]: We are reverting the restrictions added to Insatiable Hunger that were implemented in PTS Week 1, based on player feedback. Specifically, the “three unique stipulations” noted here.
- General [Feedback]: While not strictly related to this PTS, we see your questions and concerns related to the Warden class refresh, and the class refresh effort in general. We know everyone is disappointed by the delay and would like to know where we’re at with the Warden and general next steps. We are working on an additional written update for you and hope to share it in the coming weeks. In the meantime, thank you for your patience.
High Seas of Tamriel Event
- Companions Losing Air Bubbles [Bug]: We have identified an issue that is causing Companions to prematurely lose their air bubbles while underwater, and die. We are investigating this and would appreciate any additional details if you see this as you play. (Related post.)
- Dwemer Dive Bell Quest Marker [Feedback]: We are looking into the quest marker pointing you in a confusing direction while on the Dwemer Dive Bell step of the High Seas quest. We are investigating the issue.
- Low-Air Visual Effects [Feedback]: We have seen feedback that the visual effect when your character is low on air is too intense and makes it harder to find air replenishment spots. We are investigating the issue.
- Visuals for Fishing-up Rewards [Feedback]: We have seen feedback that the visuals for the fishing up treasure mechanic could be a little clearer. We are investigating the issue.
Item Sets
- Draugurkin’s Grip [Feedback]: We see your feedback on the Draugurkin’s Grip and the current state it is in on the U51 PTS. We are exploring some improvements for a later PTS Week.
Rumors
- Rumors Hand-in Visuals [Feedback]: We will be adding some additional visuals to all Rumor hand-ins to make them a little easier to identify in the world. This change will be available in a future PTS Week. (Related post.)
- UI – Quest & Rumors Icons Spacing [Feedback]: We are increasing the spacing between the Quests and Rumors icons in the UI so they don’t overlap. This change will be available in a future PTS Week. (Related post.)
- Various Fiction/Hint Updates [Feedback]: We will be making a number of fictional updates for Rumors including adding more clarity for some while making others a bit more challenging and less on-the-nose. These changes will be available in a future PTS Week. (Related post.)
Player Experience Improvements
- Hybridization – Essence of Power Potion Icon [Feedback]: We have seen some feedback about the Essence of Power potion icons, noting that it is difficult to tell the Stamina and Magicka versions apart from each other when both are slotted into the quickslot wheel. We are exploring options to make these a little easier to tell apart, at a glance. (Related post.)
- VFX Intensity [Feeback]: We have seen your feedback regarding adding the option to reduce VFX to 0% via the VFX Intensity settings. We are currently exploring options – please note that any solution will not be available during the U51 PTS cycle. (Related post.)
Miscellaneous
- Art – Animation [Bug]: We have identified an issue where entering a menu that sheathes weapons while also having an active Personality and weapons drawn can cause visual issues after weapon swapping. This will be fixed in a future PTS Week.
- Companions Equipment Screen – UI Error [Bug]: We have identified an issue where you may encounter an on-screen UI error when accessing the Companion Equipment screen on the PTS. This will be fixed in PTS Week 2.
Re: New Community Input Dashboards
Hey all, thanks for the feedback and questions thus far. We are a little behind on reviewing and approving (or merging) submissions and comments, but we're getting through as many as we can today. We do expect things to slow down a little after this initial rush. There are so many great ideas!
We do want to note that these boards are intended for feedback and suggestions or bugs and pain points related to the game itself. We do welcome feedback about out-of-game topics, like communications, and ask that you continue to share those with us here or reach out directly to someone on the Community Management team (Amy, Kevin, or I.) We'll make sure feedback about anything out-of-game gets to the right place for consideration.
Thank you!

Re: Is there any chance at all that we could get a class change token?
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/8359267#Comment_8359267that was the last ZOS update on it, in 2025tomofhyrule wrote: »The devs have said for a while that Class was the one immutable part of a character and that looking into Class change tokens was not on the table. They even referenced that in the reveal for Subclassing as a way for players to customize their characters in lieu of a Class change.
This is correct. It's not to say it could never happen. But there are a TON of moving parts to a class change token we need to get it right without negatively impacting your characters. So it's not on the table right now. Subclassing does not have to touch as many legacy systems as class change token would.
Thanks for sharing this. Going to echo that this is even more the case. This system is most likely not going to get touched until class refresh is complete. And even then, the amount of legacy systems that classes are tied into would require a mammoth amount of time to weed through. Not saying it won't happen, but there are bigger things to work on and finish before we can get to this.

Re: U51 Feedback Thread for Rumors
Note to devs, however, is that it lacks the glowy bits that characterize Rumor stuff. The eagle-eyed will be able to find it in short order however.
All rumor hints should have that glow, so that sounds like a bug. We will investigate!
Re: U51 Feedback Thread for Player Experience Improvements
Hybridization and Alchemy
Not a fan of how magicka power pots are the same colour as stam power pots
please change the mag ones back to blue. or something visually different.
I have both on my quickslot wheel and i can't tell which is which
Thanks for sharing this feedback, @Tannus15. We've passed this along and are exploring options to make these a little easier to tell apart at a glance.
Re: Gray Host - population bars not working
Hi All, following up here. The team is aware of this issue and has been investigating. We should have a plan soon to address this with.

This is not intended and we're getting a bug in for it. Thanks!
