As the announcement itself is locked I'd just like to thank @ZOS_GinaBruno for her announcement.

However, I would also question why such a bug fest is still going live tomorrow? Surely it would make more sense to fix these bugs before putting it live? No one will complain, we would rather have a game that works than the buggy nightmare about to be unleashed on us....

Please please pull the release and fix the bugs before you drop it on us.

    Yeah I upgraded to a Win 10 rig as soon as U33 hit PC with all the bugs and the nerf to our alts, so that I can play Elden Ring and other games. ESO is no longer the game I originally signed up to play, and it’s the only AAA title that you can only play through once completely. The value is just no longer there.

    I'm on console. I still enjoy this game and will play when it's running reasonably well- on console the performance has been excellent the last 3--6 months.

    Account wide achievements don't bother me too much.

    This thing with getting permanently logged out and having to send tickets to get back in.... I'll put up with it once. Maybe twice. Any more then that and I'll be done until the next update fixes it- which in all likelyhood won't be for 6 weeks.

    It's not too late to rethink and postpone this update @ZOS_GinaBruno

    I just waiting new dungeons. Old content not interesting for me now. And I know that eso can't be perfect on my old ps4. Not zos fault. Maby I'll buy ps5 pro in 2023/24. Also I stopped playing in Cyrodiil. Same map after all these years. I realized they don't want pvp in this game and focused on pve. So idc. New dungeons and trials ok for me.

    Actually, the more I think about it the angrier I become.

    This ***** company is deliberately putting out an update with potentially game breaking issues which won’t get fixed for at least 6 weeks - and they think that its acceptable because they give is a well-hidden warning the night before?! Bah.

    Love the game, beginning to absolutely detest the company. 🤬

    If this was a bank pushing out an update to their online banking app (for instance) they wouldn't knowingly push out an update that locked people put of their accounts. They would pull it, solve the issue and then release the update.

    Gaming manufacturers on the other hand have decided that players are happy with any release no matter how poor the quality is and therefore just shove out updates no matter how bad they are.

    Over the last couple of years they have got away with it due to lack of choice. Now the pandemic is judged to be over and people are returning to normal lives gaming companies are going to find that product matters. New games have started coming out and ESO is hemorrhaging players, all the discords I'm in are quiet, officers and GM's of guilds are quiet, I've gone from a daily player to a casual player and am likely to play less and less unless Zos finally wake up and realise the product matters and up their game.

    @ZOS_MattFiror @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_GinaBruno I know you won't respond to this thread but you will end up sending another grovelling apology when you realise just how bad this update is. Please wake up, please put product first, please start putting out updates worthy of being updates and stop with the artificially imposed deadlines. I'd rather have a delayed release than a poor release. I want my enjoyment of the game to increase again, not think is this it? Buggy update after buggy update that may get fixed six weeks later but inevitably won't.

    You expect us the players to accept these poor releases - your in game metrics should be telling you that the turkeys have stopped voting for Christmas. Get the game sorted while you can, before Microsoft find someone to do the job for you.

    __________________________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.

    I'm at a loss as to why they are pushing this update this morning. To have a character that may be locked out just doesn't make any sense. And, the solution is to complete a ticket? As much as I love ESO, this is just game breaking.

    This. I put up with all manner of things since beta. By the time I saw the warning to console users about error 326 in update 33 for console players, it was too late. Main was locked on PC-NA. If I had known it was even a "extremely rare" bug even for another platform I would have stayed logged out for the entirety of the update until it was fixed, rather than risk having to open a ticket I have to wade through. I am extraordinarily averse to the idea of opening a ticket for account modification purposes after reading the horror story here on the forums of a guys whos 7 year account got completely wipe when he tried to get an achievement fixed. So now I am sat here with a ticket open for a character locking bug.

    Beta player. 13k hours played. Probably just as many dollars into crown crates. Active subscription. Purchase every CE chapter. 0 disciplinary issues. Spend all my time going for trifectas and helping new players get established and find their bearings. Sitting here with my main locked due to a known bug, watching others get it resolved while my playtime ticks away for the second day with an event around the corner, feels like buying a business class ticket, being told they overbooked, and that another plane would be around "eventually"

    All characters will get all achievement so order does not matter from that perspective. Achievements do indicate which character earned the achievement and when it was earned. If you want your main to listed as the earner for most of the achievements, then log in to your main first and then the others.

    You may need to micro manage some achievement like true style master - which adds up the number of styles learned on each character. If you want your main listed as the earner for this achievement, you need to keep track of the counter and make sure you main learns the 50th motif so another character's name is not listed.

    This. I put up with all manner of things since beta. By the time I saw the warning to console users about error 326 in update 33 for console players, it was too late. Main was locked on PC-NA. If I had known it was even a "extremely rare" bug even for another platform I would have stayed logged out for the entirety of the update until it was fixed, rather than risk having to open a ticket I have to wade through. I am extraordinarily averse to the idea of opening a ticket for account modification purposes after reading the horror story here on the forums of a guys whos 7 year account got completely wipe when he tried to get an achievement fixed. So now I am sat here with a ticket open for a character locking bug.

    Beta player. 13k hours played. Probably just as many dollars into crown crates. Active subscription. Purchase every CE chapter. 0 disciplinary issues. Spend all my time going for trifectas and helping new players get established and find their bearings. Sitting here with my main locked due to a known bug, watching others get it resolved while my playtime ticks away for the second day with an event around the corner, feels like buying a business class ticket, being told they overbooked, and that another plane would be around "eventually"

    Even some of the more prominent YouTubers have shifted their focus. Granted Elden Ring was a hotly anticipated game, but it doesn't feel like many of them really want to come back. I don't think it's likely we'll see much big fixes and hot new features, doesn't seem like the engine can take it. The degree to which the card game is monetization is going to be indicative of the game's future - more monetization and less content.

    As the announcement itself is locked I'd just like to thank @ZOS_GinaBruno for her announcement.

    However, I would also question why such a bug fest is still going live tomorrow? Surely it would make more sense to fix these bugs before putting it live? No one will complain, we would rather have a game that works than the buggy nightmare about to be unleashed on us....

    Please please pull the release and fix the bugs before you drop it on us.

    Well you can't possibly expect them to stop the money train right? As long as the Crown Store and Crown Crates are unaffected then why not push broken crap to the live servers. Not like we're going to quit and take our money elsewhere.

    But that's exactly what we're doing:

    Which order are we supposed to login to make sure our mains get the MOST of the achievements...

    It kind of doesn't matter except for achievements where it's a combined number making it (the do x dailies/wb/etc type achievements). Because for the rest of them (level heroes, quest achievements, etc) it will be updated for whoever did them first regardless who you logged into.

    I wanted to ensure my main got the Grand Master Crafter one, so I logged in 2 alts first(13 styles,14 styles, which added to 27, then my main who had 35 -style master earned on him, they all share titles, but he's my main, and the one I craft on, so for sentimental reasons

    Ya, it is what it is, I'm not surprised by the issues. It means more since we love the game. And to be honest, performance has been ignored for so long, and all these new issues that usually come with a new dlc just adds to the anger. Like I said, it is what it is.
    Im not going to be playing until the other patches to fix the issues come. So that means , il be taking a break from ESO sooner than I thought. I originally thought it would be in the summer , when the high Isle drops, but looks like I am not going to be playing way in advance.
    I hope it all gets fixed within the next few weeks.
    In the meantime, I have to look for some other game to replace ESO , cuz gaming is a big hobby of mine.
