mateosalvaje✭✭✭✭omg it's GREAT!I
Loading seems faster, everything looks smoother, movements appear more fluid. It's almost shocking how different it appears 😁
I'm about to hit VMA and see how that runs 😉
I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again.4 -

✭✭Overland/delve/public dungeon stuff seemed fine to me. I haven't tried the group finder yet. Hopefully the new system works, I have been waiting months to level Undaunted on a Necromancer.PS5 EU.0 -

✭✭✭✭XBox has been pretty smooth so far as well. I got one random 2 second screen pause perfectly timed with someone else’s proximity det cause of course I did, but otherwise it’s pretty smooth.

✭✭✭✭✭At first I couldn't tell the difference. Ran a few dolmens in Alik'r to push things, and it was about the same.
So I reinstalled and things have been alot smoother. You can definitely see a difference. Alik'r is still A'lik'r, but big dragon fights have been smooth, overland has been smooth.
Bar swap has been pretty reliable and abilities seem to fire when you push buttons...and those two things are all I've ever asked for.
Gonna jump into Cyrodiil later on tonight and see how that goes. If that stays as smooth, I'll re-up my ESO plus immediately!2 -

✭✭✭✭✭I can’t say I’ve noticed any improvement. Froze twice in an hour and my in game chat still doesn’t work. 🤷♂️2 -
Shardaxx✭✭✭✭✭I blue-screened once in cyro, it was pretty lag-free altho we didn't have any big battles (think everyone was still downloading or exploring the new area). Friday night will be the real test.PS4 - Europe - Shardaxx - Wood Elf Nightblade - Aldmeri Dominion1 -
CassandraGemini✭✭✭✭✭
✭For me it actually seems worse than before. Bar swap sometimes doesn't work at all or after one or two seconds delay, abilities randomly don't activate, I get weird 'hiccups' while sprinting, the 'Item no longer available' message pops when looting bodies... but with what the others have been saying here I'm still hoping that maybe my internet was just acting up and it will be better tomorrow.This poor little Bosmer stealth passive had passionate friends and a big loving family!1 -
GreenhaloX✭✭✭✭✭
✭Same old lifecycle of ESO. Still always issues after every patches and updates. Will be no difference with this one. Wow, all the nerfs and skill costs increased. Ha ha. Wonder how many console peeps will rage quit. Ha ha. Besides, says about 10 hours of downloading still remaining for me. Thank goodness for Netflix. Been liking the TV Daredevil series, Iron Fists and Defenders on Netflix. Lots of time to watch this evening.0 -
SpiderKnight✭✭✭✭✭
✭I've blue screened at times when there were no obvious performance issues, twice in Senchal. That's not to say there are no performance hiccups. One quest in a cave was laggy the whole way through. I still get wayshrine lag, though not as bad as it used to be. Bar swapping is still funked, (not a controller issue).
I wasn't expecting anything spectacular anyway, and I won't expect to see any improvement in the future either.3 -

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Number_51✭✭✭✭✭Unusually long load screen may be unusual again. Haven't seen one yet. Was nothing in this patch to fix lag so wasn't expecting that. Asset loads seem much faster. Friends have been saying they're blue screening, hasn't happened to me yet, but I was getting 3-5 of those a week prior to this patch.
Should add that I haven't been to the new zone or any really busy area yet. Busiest I been to is probably Wayrest wayshrine.Edited by Number_51 on November 6, 2019 12:46AM0 -

VoodooPlatypus✭✭✭✭Ridiculous number of blue screen crashes (5 or 6 in the past 90 minutes), unfortunately. More in Senchal than other locations, but certainly not exclusive to the new zone.1 -

Rebuilding the database might accomplish the same thing in less time. Also don't know if reinstalling would help much if you have the game on disc, though I'm kinda technologically inept so it's likely I'm wrong haha.0 -

✭✭It’s too early to judge this because when I played the server seemed pretty empty due to people still downloading the update.2 -
juhislihis19✭✭✭✭Yesterday did Skyreach runs with a friend and occasionally the whole screen freezes for 3-8 seconds midfight with mobs. Terrible lag, and it's PVE zone!0 -
cheifsoap✭✭✭✭✭My feedback: When I'm not bluescreening, performance is pretty smooth. For bluescreening, its happening all of the time - fixing this should be a priority before the free event if ZOS wants any new business.

RedGirl41✭✭✭✭Looks the same as before but now even more blue screens, especially in the new zone and in pvp. Pretty much every fight I got into last night I blue screened0

Fallen_Ray✭✭✭✭✭Crashing during loading hasn't happened yet. Though loading screens are long. There's This annoying stuttering everytime you use a wayshrine. That lasts for up to 30 secs after teleporting. That's been on for months. and occasionally getting booted due to not having an internet connection despite having a stable connection of 42Mbps to 50Mbps.
Still the same as the last month I've been playing for. Doesn't surprise me really. Seems Zo$'s devs comment out a few random lines and state bug fixes in patch notes."Dear brother, I do not spread rumors, I create them"- Lucien Lachance0 -
ApostateHobo✭✭✭✭✭
✭After playing for a good several hours last night/wee hours of this morning, I can say that my performance was pretty okay. No huge lag spikes in either battlegrounds, dungeons, or overland. Had a bit of wayshrine lag, but that's just standard to the game at this point. Crashed once while just walking through alinor, and had one load screen that failed to port me into a battleground. Load screens do seem faster except for ones going into and out of battlegrounds those are slow as molasses going up hill. Did have a few instances where my skills seemed a bit unresponsive in different content not sure what that was all about, but it wasn't really surprising just annoying because it kept cancelling out other skills or double casting. Unless double casting crystal frags is a new feature I didn't know about, in which case it's working as intended haha.0
