Today's maintenance - Patch Notes

Will there be patch notes posted?

Anazasi

doubtful they are hiding them because they don't know how to fix the FPS issues.

Dominoid

Patience. Patch notes usually come out about 30 minutes before patch completion.

I'm impatient to know what's gonna get broken for this patch. Any time you see "Patch Notes" is bad sign. They will fix a few things, but they will break many others. That seems to be the pattern. Best thing one can hope for is they didn't screw around to much with my class.

Don't listen to this person. He/she has no idea how to play the game and all the problems are due to a crappily setup computer.

Which MMOs routinely publish notes before the update happens?

And of course it makes sense for the developers to publish "days ahead" about fixes and other stuff they're doing and trying to roll out as soon as they can.

Honestly, whining about when patch notes are published it just sad.

Possibly, or the person can be, like many others on the forums, be one of the people that spread vitriol at every given chance. Its hard to tell with written words. And that kind of thing spreads poison slowly through the community and literally drives players away. Maybe a smiley would help

Granted if they were trying to be funny then my apologies to the poster, if they were being a jerk then my comment stands. I understand frustration breeds anger, heck the fps situation annoys me too, but those kinds of comments, if I interpreted correctly, are flat out lies and really wrong to be jsut throwing out there.

Lighten up Auric, your smile and nod software needs upgrading to 1.2.0007

Pouncing on people only exacerbates things.

Oh, and "bacon"

Mmmmmm Bacon......

Ah, of course, if WOW does it everyone else should.

Okay.

Most games I play (7 ATM) don't and it's fine by me. But then I'm not of the I want it and I want it NOW generation so that probably explains it.

It's easy to release patch notes when you only release content once every 8 months and see no moral issues charging people for rehashing/re-releasing the same garbage over periods of time that continually grow longer over an expansion's life.

I'd rather not have patch notes and log in tonight to a game that works at least like it did prior to 1.2.4.

Thanks Gina...but ugh...Respectfully, those are depressing...still no fix to Restore the Silvenar quest, still no fix to Cyrodiil lag ('may marginally' is corporate speak for 'will probably not address in any way')...damn...we're losing people left and right...

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ are there any plans for more hotfixes in the next day or two to address the lag in Cyrodiil?

Thanks very much...

If you scroll down a bit, I believe the "Miscellaneous" fix refers to the frame rate issue:

Miscellaneous
General
- Fixed an issue where some visual effects and abilities were reducing your game’s performance.
- Fixed an issue where some self-targeted ability effects were sticking around permanently.

As of 1.2.5:

• The client version is still showing 1.2.4.x
• Hirelings do not deliver materials unless the player is online. They should deliver materials twice a day (3/3 Hireling says every 12 hours) regardless if the player is online or not.
• Also, all in-game mail should be time & date stamped for delivery, with the localized timestamp of the player. Currently, it is not.
• Ta runes should not be found on any Rune harvesting node nor lootable item nor delivered via Hireling. Jejota+ only. Players can decon storebought glyphs to get Ta runes, if, for some insane reason, they want them.
• Storebought essence runes should not be found on Essence rune harvest nodes nor Heavy Bags, nor delivered via Hireling. Again, if players want these, they can deconstruct storebought glyphs, of which there is an infinite cheap supply for even a level 3 player.
• Two handed weapons & staffs should count as two of a crafted set.
• As Tomatos are only found via Hireling, at least one per day should be delivered.
• Finally, items sold from guild stores should, in the in-game mail, state at very least the name of the item sold.
• Snared NPC's, in combat, should not be able to move at a normal rate, ever. Today, if they're "moving" as part of an animation sequence, they ignore snare. This makes all abilities that snare kind of pointless when NPC's just ignore the snare.
• Potency Runes should all stack up into stacks of 100, like Aspect runes and Essence runes. Today, they do not.
• Elemental Drain (Morph of Weakness to Elements) does not return Magicka. Ever.
• Sea of Flames (Morph of Inferno) does not return Magicka. Ever.
• Deep Breath (Morph of Inhale) does not interrupt or stun. Ever.
• The stamina return from Whirlwind (Morph of Whirling Blades) stops returning Stamina if combat ends or a target dies. This makes the morph completely useless/pointless/broken.
• Given the progression of boosters required to improve crafted gear is 2,3,4,8 , the corresponding increase in power of gear should reflect this progression (there should be a massive jump from Epic to Legendary) or the progression should be changed to be 2,3,4,5 to reflect the current linear progression. Either way, something needs to change.

None of this was in the patch notes is this your wish list, if so I think you misunderstand some game functions

Which one of these is working as intended?

Brabok

which ones are confirmed bugged?

Fairydragon3

ex: Hirelings do not deliver materials unless the player is online. They should deliver materials twice a day (3/3 Hireling says every 12 hours) regardless if the player is online or not.

This is working as intended, since there is a limit to how many emails can be stored in your inbox, leaving a character off line for certain period of time could leave you full thus unable to receive further mails.

IT is designed to work like this. SO you first get the point int the perk. you log off, this starts the counter, in 24 hours you need to log on, withdraw your materials, and then log off again to start the next time.

Tool tip states that once you log off a hireling will deliver to you with in 24, so the initiator, i the fact you have no delivery and that you are logging off, last at 3/3 it says they deliver 2 times a day, but the first rule is still in effect


ex:Storebought essence runes should not be found on Essence rune harvest nodes nor Heavy Bags, nor delivered via Hireling. Again, if players want these, they can deconstruct storebought glyphs, of which there is an infinite cheap supply for even a level 3 player

This is not a bug but a request from you, I would prefer not to have to go give a merchant gold when i can do it myself, that way the gold stays in the player economy, and isn't destroyed

Too all the people complaining about FPS and LAG ... you might find it entertaining to run EOS in Windowed mode and before you launch EOS launch Task Manager and move it to your second monitor ( or third ) --- you DO have multiple monitors don't you?

If not, you can switch between Windows but it is easier to watch the second monitor without switching.

In Task Manger, choose the Performance tab and you can watch the traffic on your Ethernet connection and observe how fast / slow data is coming into your computer.

It is astounding!!

On a machine with an Internet connection capable of downloading at multiple - megabyes per second ... it comes dribbling in at a few kbps ( that's bits not bytes ).

Now the question is ... why ... whose fault is it that the data is coming in so slow?

I wonder at what speed the game servers are attempting to send data out.
Are the server's pipelines so overcrowded that they are being throttled down to dribble a little data to each user?

Such slow data coming in seems to me that could be responsible for both FPS issues and LAG issues.

I notice it is using only one socket ... is it possible to use more? How?

Thank you for posting them Gina

So there is STILL no word on the FPS problem and timing on a fix?

@ZOS
Did you honestly think anyone who still plays this game cares about all the other *** on that list except the main reason they can't actually play the damn game?

This is ridiculous.
