Reduced texture resolution of mounts too extreme, Indriks worst offenders

Whatever you did to other people's mounts, I think you guys went too far. They're SUPER fuzzy and hard to look at, and I don't think it helped anything.
Is anyone noticing a tangible improvement in performance?
EDIT: Two things would make this acceptable:
EDIT 2: More screenshots under the spoiler. I tried to get a varied sample. Some of the mounts look worse than others. I leave it to you to decide who got hit the hardest.
EDIT3: Screenshots were taken on a fairly new PS4 PRO with Super Sampling and 1080p Enhanced enabled. Here are the patch notes for PS4 and for XBOX.

EDIT: Two things would make this acceptable:
- Put a toggle in the menu. Let us CHOOSE.
- People in your group should be exempt from the texture reduction. It looks absolutely ridiculous when you stop on the road with your friend, and you look pristine, and they look like mud.

✭Its possible this is an issue with changes to the LOD system which may have come with this texture change if they're hunting performance increases.
Seems a bit silly that 5 years after launch they have to start cutting stuff for optimizations. Game just keeps running worse.EU: Magden, Magknight, Stamsorc(*2), Magsorc

Perhaps that's the case. This seems TOO extreme to be intentional.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨2 -

✭It’s pretty obvious that the game code has grown beyond what some consoles can run well under all conditions. If ZOS is starting to reduce some graphical complexity on consoles to try to compensate, it’s probably a good idea and overdue.5 -

@Marcus684 Yes, I agree. . . to an extent. I added a screenshot to the OP, now that I've had time to transfer it from the console. I don't know, this seems extreme.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -

CAB_LifeClass RepresentativeGame looks PS2ish on console now, yeah. Also the viewing distance reduction (also added this patch) gives worse pop in than Tera or BDO—I’ve directly compared and screenshooted to be sure. Actually, BDO on a Pro has better viewing distance than a PC on high for some reason.
They need to port this game to the new (Next-gen) consoles ASAP. And yes, I’ve made this suggestion multiple times now and will keep bandwagoning it.
Making other players and the world uglier definitely doesn’t encourage the “must have” syndrome from other players mounts, gear etc, either.Fitness/ Gaming/ Fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qoTV-kge_bU90i2lgkyvA4 -

The same new consoles that aren’t fully confirmed and won’t actually be on sale for about a year and won’t have the population of existing console platforms for even longer? Those consoles?
Even when the new consoles come out ZOS will still have to cater for the old consoles for a while. It’s one way in which an ongoing MMORPG differs from a single player game. Once you’ve set your baseline system, it’s hard to upgrade them.6 -

Dev kits are available to all major publishers and have been for a while; likewise specs are internally known and quite accurately sussed out by now (10-12 TF, very fast processors, SSD is standard). Full reveals are all slated before E3 2020.
Obviously they can’t kill PS4/Xbox One support day one, but a succession and incentivization plan should be in place as we saw with FFXIV, DCUO etc, last gen.
It’s not as if performance is going to miraculously improve without turning the dials down further and ESO will look really long in the tooth come November 2020 when the new toys are out.Edited by CAB_Life on December 20, 2019 8:59AMFitness/ Gaming/ Fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qoTV-kge_bU90i2lgkyvA3 -

This or finally allow us to transfer to PC if we wanted and take our items and achievement with us.2 -

Why aren't there any proper options for graphics? Let people pick it they want frames > fancy. For that matter why are there still no options to make custom control assignments?

In the patch notes for xbox it states that these changes do not apply to X1X. I would post a screenshot but that's difficult on a garbage kindle.Xbox NA • Magwarden Main1 -

I’ll log in and look again, but thank you for the update. Guess I’ll be swapping mostly to Xbox for the remainder of this gen!
Do you know if they reduced the viewing distance on X1X too? Because that was the most egregious change for me. Edited by CAB_Life on December 20, 2019 1:52PMFitness/ Gaming/ Fantasy: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2qoTV-kge_bU90i2lgkyvA0 -

I'm totally the same way, and I know it's a totally shallow girly thing, but I need the mounts to be pretty. I stan your wife.
I'm also going to use this gif again.
