    Will there be patch notes for today's incremental patch?

    Yes, there will be patch notes for 1.5.8. We're putting the final tweaks on them right now and will have them up shortly.

    Did I miss the patch notes topic? This post was like 3 hours ago man...

    No, MS Word keeps crashing both the 1.6 behemoth patch notes and taking 1.5.8's patch notes with it.

    I would be totally okay with them just releasing the 1.6 patch notes early. Take all the time you want to iron out the issues, but being able to read and start theory crafting would be really cool.

    Could someone at the office "accidentally" leak them like other companies? >:)

    IMHO the PTS will get 1.6 either Thursday 1/15/15 (most likely not IMO) or Monday 1/19/15 (More likely) as the next ESO Live is on 1/16/15 and they will most likely announce it friday that the PTS patch will drop the following monday.. They might Address other things (like the B2P rumors and a possible date for the Console) on the ESO live show as well..

    Then in a Month around February 16th, give or take then the 1.6 patch will drop on live then in like 2-3 weeks later the rest of the bugs will be fixed..

    and then we get 1.7 in 6 weeks, give or take Around that time, which will remove VR ranks (and adjust item / gear power levels), the PvP aspect of the Justice system and possibly add Imperial City to Cyrodiil.. that will be like the end of March sometime..

    then 1.8 will be most likely the Thieves guild and the Dark Brotherhood and maybe Wrothgar.. month of May.

    1.9 SpellCrafting, etc... Month of June.

    I guess we will see..

    Well my opinion as follow. I can't help but feel that ZOS has finally lost me with this game. They came out of the gate running and sticking to their words on monthly bite-size updates that adds content to the game world in order to justify our 15 dollars. However, slowly over time ZOS and their updates have went to 1.5 months, then 2 months, and now 3 months if not more! I hope you all realize that you're not getting 1.6 in FEB, let alone first week of FEB as stated by ZOS, lest they release 1.6 without really any testing. I'm not getting my value worth for the sub anymore and it upsets me. I guess we can only hope for 1 new zone or none per year with how things are looking now. ZOS should have left well enough alone and focus on game content such as storytelling and future land zones ect... ZOS could have split this patch up into smaller patches and got it out faster to at least kept up with their 1 month updates. oh well my opinion of course.

    6 had better be phenomenal. I really mean it. With all the BS we have put up with since release, this CP nonsense has been the straw for me personally. I haven't even logged into the game in the last two weeks and my sub just renewed today. Unless I see a compelling reason to keep playing I'm certainly not going to keep paying for it. I will check it out when it hits PTS and bugs aside, it had better be fun to play again or I'm jumping ship.

    I haven't had fun playing this game in over a month. The content is old and tired and the mechanics are a joke, i.e. block casting, limited useful builds, etc. I'm fairly certain they will never fix Cyrodiil, or release a reasonably working update. I played Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim for years. Each iteration was an improvement on graphics, physics, and AI. I never thought I would be bored of an Elder Scrolls game in under a year. At this point I find it to be a mediocre MMO and a sad imitation of a TES game. I really hope 6 changes this.

    I agree. Form the last 40 days of my sub it will be just be the forum and waiting for the PTS. :| I see absolutely no reason to log in on the live server at the moment.

    well, I thought they would announce stuff (1.6, B2P rumors, etc) on the ESO Live show but they did nothing of the sort. This upset me and more than a few people.

    Now I would say add a week or two to my guess of when 1.6 will hit the PTS (end of january/beginning of February now) and it wont probably hit the live server until March...very sad...

    As of now, we're still targeting January; we'll let everyone know as soon as we have a date. We're working on testing a few things internally to ensure Update 6 is in good shape before it hits PTS.

    @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    I think what bugs me the most about hearing this over and over, is that you don't say, "we're still targeting this month". Instead you say, "we're still targeting January". Every time you say, 'January' it eludes to the fact that it may not be 'January'. I mean this month has 12 days left - that's basically saying you guys can't find a date within 12 days that it will be on the PTS.

    I don't mean to come across as rude - but people aren't stupid. A lot of us put up with the fact that ZOS seems to leave their words open for interpretation or elude to other things such as release dates, and such. It is the internet, but a large majority of the population spends time on here - gamers even more so.

    I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job or anything, but a really simple, "We don't have a day set, but it will be sometime towards the end of this month." would suffice. But instead we get our hopes up because no one at ZOS wants to be honest with the community.

    If it's not ready, then just say it's not ready - don't put up a front and make people wait. That doesn't resonate well with anyone and it eventually leads to people feeling like they've been ripped off.

    I still feel they should make 1.6 testing open to the public. Like a second beta test. A lot of people who left want to try this to see if its worth coming back for...

    That would probably be better for 1.7 when Justice system is more implemented.

    I'm happy to let ZOS take their time and provide polished content, but what is starting to wear on my patience is the lack of genuine communication between the devs and the subscribers. Whether or not it fits their message, ZOS needs to address the free to play rumors, we need some insight with what is going on with update 6 either be it through clearly labeled "work in progress" patch notes. I'm okay with the fact some of the details might change between PTS and Live, but it would be nice to start taking stock of what is changing.

    I'm not a fan of tiny content additions every four to six weeks, the content always feels lackluster and in most cases the content is immediately consumed within a few hours. It isn't a big deal to me as a sub that I have to wait a few months for an update but not having the info to give me some direction while I wait for everything to change is a bit frustrating.

    The longer 1.6 remains off the PTS, the better, imo. I'd rather they spent more time with the game's relaunch (because that's what 1.6 is) than throw it up on the PTS and ignore all feedback (again.)

    I mean 1.6 is only starting to address issues that have existed since beta! And were reported in beta!

    I think most of the player base would be happy with Patch Notes by end of January at this point. Then testing for the full month of February, with updates to the PTS till issues are solved. Then live in March.

    But heck, it's almost February and we don't even have patch notes, so maybe that's wishful thinking.

    I'm just hoping they don't throw it up on PTS for a few days, then push it first week of February to live full of bugs.

    If history repeats itself, which I hope it doesn't, they'll leave it on PTS for 2 weeks or more and then still release it full of bugs.

    At the risk of going against the seemingly general consensus here...

    We all complain like crazy when patches come out & are full of bugs, yet everybody is seemingly now saying 'We don't care that ZoS clearly needs a bit more time... we just want it now bugs & all'!

    Given the state of previous patches then to be honest if they need a couple more weeks then let them have it! I'd rather that than risk it coming out with the bugs that will come from 2 weeks less dev work going into it.

    (Its inevitable it will have a lot of bugs anyway.... I just want there to be LESS of them!).

    3 things that is hurting ZOS ...
    1. Poor Communication to me this the most frustrating...
    2. Bad implimentation... For example this patch is way to big still would like an answer why all of this is in one patch...Another is the Lighting update in June was a complete fail destroyed 50% of the PvP population... Also every patch has broke something... Little to no use of the player test server...
    3. Slow response to op abilities and broken abilities... The biggest fail was bats at release 1 person that essentually make him self unkillable because bats was up all the time and could also cast multiple bats.... This took 3 to 4 weeks to fix and 2 weeks for ZOS to even comment on it.... Also can you say dark cloak how long was that broke? Lol still probally broke...
