CONFIRMED: Update 5 coming 3rd November! (4th November for EU)

Neizir

Gina confirmed that ZOS will be releasing Patch 1.5.2 with the maintenance next week! 7 Weeks since Update 4 went live.

The update is 13GB in size, and is the largest update ever to be released for ESO.

After that we will see Update 6 which will include:

• New abilities, balance tweaks and ability changes. One of these new abilities is a magicka bomb.
• Provisioning Overhaul
• The Champion System (Unconfirmed, but very likely.)
• Imperial City (Very Likely)
• Other things, maybe even horse racing but we'll have to wait until the next ESO Live before Update 6 details surface
• Update 6 will probably release in the week beginning December 8.

Crazy excite!

Though you mentioned a provisioning overhaul? I was unaware of this, what's happening?

So you are the mysterious husband she spoke of last week or how come she told you this but not everyone else?

Yes, announcement confirmed! We are aiming (keyword: aiming!) to release Update 5 to the Live megaservers next week.

I wouldn't mistake aiming as a confirmation. Things can still change.

Is there a link to her announcement?

Ya that's why I made the funny remark earlier, since I didn't hear anything of Gina in public either

But after some research this is the link to her announcement,

I don't know what will be in it, but it's coming in Update 6 according to last week's ESO Live episode.

I wonder how many people will skim the original post and think that the list represents content from Update 5?

Sindala

I certainly hope not, Patch 1.5.2 hasn't even hit the PTS yet and there were ALOT of bugs from 1.5.1 that needed addressing.

Here we go again.......

I happen to have the day off of work on 11/3. Besides downloading the patch to the client, is there typically a longer downtime for the servers on a major release (compared to a standard maintenance window)? I'm usually not home when these occur, so just wondering if I'll be sitting around not playing ESO that day.

Sindala

Yup if they are doing a patch to live it can be anywhere from 5 to 12 hours downtime on patch day and this is a biggie so i'd say close to 10 hours patch time.

SantieClaws

Well I'm working long, long hours next week so I won't get time to dip in until the weekend at the earliest. Looking forward to the crafting quests though.

Thanks, maybe I'll switch that day off around in that case

AngryNord

So, anyone on the EU server wanna give/sell me a WW bite sometime during the weekend?

Well, this part is actually not very likely, but very unlikely. The Champion System is not ready enough for update 6. At least, that is my guess.

And Ginas announcement is really not hard to find. It is right at the top of the Dev Tracker ^^

Does anyone have a link for what is confirmed will be in pub 5?

We only know what is supposed to be in it from the PTS patch notes.

We never know what actually makes it into an update until it's patched and the servers are back up. And sometimes not even then.

The unbiased answer is that they post a note in the forum on the day that the update goes Live.

ZingyDevotee

I would think the Champion System would come in around Update 7 or 8

Ok cool, thanks for the info. I'll try and see what I can find on PTS

Aaahhh crap!

I just spent 1m AP yesterday buying lottery blue boxes from PvP vendors. Woe is me

@ZOS_GinaBruno‌ can we stall this for, say a couple of weeks, till I sell my PvP gear?

You want them to delay rolling out an update, just because you're going to lose money. I don't know how to respond to that without getting suspended.

Sweet, I`m hoping to get my main to V14 (over halfway there!) by Monday so I can start my alt with all the new goodies like the facial animation overhaul.

No it is not 100% final ,,,as stated in her sentence as "Aiming".

"(keyword: aiming!)"

Also when the champion system does "start" to come up it is not just one patch it will slowly be implemented over many patches so no huge change with patch 6-7.

They already implemented 2 of the 3 changes.
