What is your opinion on the patch ?

Unless you have a mastery of brewing and alchemy, and have spent your life savings on all DLC's I think this patch is irrelevant for general play. I was hoping for something substantial and noticeable like a winter/new years themed thing making an emergence. I am also praying for a better guild trading UI. Anyways wbu?

What's your opinion on the patch?

The New Life Festival things should already be present in the game. Go to the inn near the bank in Davon's Watch to find some Revellers in there.

Well, for one, the game is much darker on Xbox One.

I think that they really fixed some performance issues with some proc sets.

Grothdar, Infernal Guardian and a few more were basically "pausing" dungeons for a second for me before the patch. This seems to be corrected now. The freezes for when a lot of enemies died and when using Repentence on a lot of bodies also seem to be gone.

As usual, nothing was done to fix Cyrodiil.

Went back to PvP wishing they had fixed AT LEAST ONE THING, but still got long loading screens on my first travel, dashboarded and kicked out of Cyrodiil every 20/30 minutes (as were basically everyone in our group), incredible lag, perma roots, invisible Eye of the Storm everywhere, loading screens after fixing walls, being already dead after a long loading screen, being dead in overland with only options to revive in Cyrodiil...

Now someone has brought Cyrodiil up, I have a question. I've just recently got into PvP and something I've encountered twice is a skill that blinds me in the same manner a flash bang grenade would. My hud is still on screen (death screen doesn't appear) but the middle of the screen is white and remains white until i inevitably die. Even upon being resurrected, my screen still remains white and when things return back to normal I can be miles away from where i initially died. I didn't resurrect at a keep someone obviously done it for me, as I had no option on-screen to travel back to a shrine. Is this a bug or a particular skill that's bugged?

One of my characters can't even log in, it's an alt parked at the stables in Grahtwood, and it's stuck in an enless "requesting character load" screen.
Tried restarting game, but nothing seems to work.

Other characters load fine though.

It really is!! I am not crazy!!!!!! Thank goodness you posted this. Everything looks darker and like a fresh coat of wet paint. I think it looks better mostly, but some of the shadows are bit too strong.

Well it took me like 2 days to farm 100k tv stones which is gonna get me like 1200-1800 tri pots.

Pot prices are going to plummet.

New exp pot which some people may want to farm, someone for the pve people i guess.

If you have a nice 1080p tv with a game mode that enhances the visuals in cooperation with the correct Xbox one suggested settings it looks a lot better.
It's not darker but it's darkening what should be dark and enhancing light where present with vibrant colors.

That has happened twice to me. When it does, I kill the game, come back and log in with an alt. I then log out with that character and re-log the bugged one.

Could be coincidence, but it works for me, and my friend did that same and it fixed his.

@leepalmer95

I think you have a typo "HDR" not HDD right?

I'd say no it's not an HDR thing as I don't have a 4K HDR TV nor do I use an Xbox One S
I still have new visuals and lighting which I'd say is improved other than the slower loading high Rez textures.

Minor patches are to fix bugs and issues and its what this patch has done.

They can not solve all issues in one patch, community have lot of expectations but when it comes to ZOS for earning money i.e. Crown Crates or Mount Like Dro Mathra Senchie then everyone starts cry @ over priced blah blah!

The Tel Var thing is cool.
It's time we could buy ingredients with AP!

Ah yes, haha. Forgot about that.

At least we get a little more variety in our Eye of The Storm, Velidreth, Viper death recaps.

Tel var and ap are separate, plus you need the dlc to to go into ic, unless something has changed.

The reason its hard to fix is because you are literally loading every character in cyrodill and all the things that they are doing. That is a massive amount of data. You probably wont experience flawless play in PvP unless you have a 1 gig+ connection. It's not them, its us. AvAvA was a terrible idea. They should of made it into arena or battleground type play with 20v20v20 max on a smaller map that would of made it way less laggy for the majority of people. But hopefully since they introduced dueling thats not to far away.

Actually, the amount of data on our side is not the problem. The amount of actual data sent is not that huge. Just check your internet logs. 1 hour of ESO is a fraction of 1 hour of HD Netflix, for example, so that is not the choke point.

The problem must be in PROCESSING that data, and that happens on server side. It on their end.

Having 1 GB connection doesn't help a single bit with the current problems in Cyrodiil.

The festival itself hasn't started yet, but all the assets are in place, meaning all they need to do is turn it on. I think the festival starts on the 15th.
