✭✭✭✭✭Hi ZoS:
It's a beautiful day outside and I have been putting off calling an old friend back (just to play ESO). I can occupy myself for a few hours, or even more if that turns out to be the case, so I'm cool with you fixing an exploit in a game that I don't want exploits in. I am not perfect and make mistakes too, so I understand you got to do what has to be done.

Due to the nature of the exploit, we aren't able to divulge any details. That said, you can rest assured that we will be fixing it, and any accounts found to be abusing it will be taken care of.
I hope those who get the No death / speed of Vhf won't get banned ... Cause it's not our fault if we get them once Vhf completed . And i won't accept to get banned simply because i have finished a dungeon that i have paid for.
btw, you can't say use the nature of the exploit , but can you say us if this is not about the Vhf achievement ?
People have been using Invis pots to speed run it.....So that's a thing I personally think should not be happening.
Or it's a clever use of game mechanics as @ZOS_BrianWheeler said when the AP outpost farm was on and ZOS decided it was an exploit a week later.Main characters: Feanor the Believer - AD Altmer mSorc - AR 50 - Flawless Conqueror (PC EU)Idril Arnanor - AD Altmer mSorc - CP 217 - Stormproof (PC NA)Other characters:Necrophilius Killgood - DC Imperial NecromancerFearscales - AD Argonian Templar - Stormproof (healer)Draco Imperialis - AD Imperial DK (tank)Cabed Naearamarth - AD Dunmer mDKValirion Willowthorne - AD Bosmer stamBladeTuruna - AD Altmer magBladeKheled Zaram - AD Redguard stamDKKibil Nala - AD Redguard stamSorc - StormproofYavanna Kémentárí - AD Breton magWardenAzog gro-Ghâsh - EP Orc stamWardenVidar Drakenblød - DC Nord mDKMarquis de Peyrac - DC Breton mSorc - StormproofRawlith Khaj'ra - AD Khajiit stamWardenTu'waccah - AD Redguard StamplarAll chars 50 @ CP 1900+.

✭✭✭I wonder what exploit it is this time. A maintenance for some hours in the European prime time 2 days after release sucks.
Not to complain but last night too, the Login Server EU PC was down - not for that long, though. But kinda sucked because my husband had finally go to bed and I can do anything without paying attention when he talks about his game or whatever....and nope. xD0 -

As "this is a good place to chat" and also there is a little time while fixing is underway I have 2 questions on Master Writs.
Although there was no ZOS announcement in patch notes or similar we see since HoR that Master Writs received now include Morrowind crafting stations and now the (non Crown Store) Motifs up to and incuding Morrowind.- Has the list of qualifying Motifs for Writ drop improvement also increased to include these same Motifs up to Morrowind?
- If it has then have you also added in Furnishing Plans/Master Furnisher Achievement as Qualifying for Writ drop improvement too?

We're working on fixes for those issues for the upcoming incremental patch - they aren't ready to be published yet.
Is there a current ETA on how long this should last?
Nothing exact right now, looking at a few hours. When we have a better idea, we'll post in that main thread.
Is it possible that some players could have done this exploit and not even know about it?
cause it'd suck to have done this and not even knowing to have done it then get in trouble for it lol.

agingerinohio✭✭✭There's definitely something going on with gamepad mode. Anytime I interact with a bank, the controller stops working. I have to close out of the game and launcher, unplug said controller then back in to get it to work again. Happens sometimes in combat too. (I play with a controller due to medical condition in my wrist, can't do keyboard and mouse)
Anyways, hope the maintenance will go smoothly! Keep up the great work with handling all of us forum posters @ZOS_GinaBruno lol Good choice on the meme. xD1 -

In the spirit of transparency can you please provide the number of accounts you plan to ban and for how long?
No naming and shaming- just some numbers to give us some reassurance here. is it 1 account or 1000? is it a permanent ban?
Surely, you can talk about this?Edited by StackonClown on August 16, 2017 3:09PM0 -

Regarding the bug with gamepad mode and the UI, we should have a fix for that in the upcoming incremental patch.8 -

Will you guys really take care of those who gained from the exploit though? You haven't done in the past.
You simply fix the problem after people abusing it have made gains from it and take no action against the abusers.
So called perma bans that last two weeks springs to mind...

✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno Hi if the servers are being down to fix the exploit how come we are not allowed to know anything about it? I haven't known the servers to be taken down for a fix before, usually it's a hotfix, though I can't remember if the banker exploit was taken down.
Anyway, I'm assuming this is to do with something to do with gold or item duplication.#MOREORBS1 -

1. Yes, we added new Motifs to increase Writ drop chances with this latest update.
2. We have not yet incorporated this.
3. We'll do a better job at messaging changes like this in the future.

Not only Pve combat bugs but also Economy ones as well, they let people keep what they gained through selling the Decoy Elder scroll which was supposed to be BoP in the first place.1 -

Edited by Blackbird_V on August 16, 2017 3:15PMDifficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.0
