Signs mixed up in Riften?

Is it just me or are the signs mixed up in Riften? Bank says merchant and Chef says bag expansion and others too.
Odd.

    Hey @Windy_Player where are you seeing this, exactly? Is it the icon text on the Riften map when you hover over them? Is it the text you see when you move the cursor over the signs? Something else? I logged into PC NA and am in Riften now, and don't see what you're describing.

    On PS5 EU the flags outside the bank are scales instead of a chest, not sure if that is what is meant here1dyxxed1drvn.png

    The signs hanging over the bank for example. There are two merchant symbols hanging outside the building rather than the bank signs. The maps have the correct symbols and text blocks tho. Lots of other signs are wrong too.

    I'll reload my game and see if that fixes it.

    Thank you both. I see the bank/merchant sign mismatch while running around Riften now. If you have other specific examples let us know and we'll pass them along. Could you also report this in-game as a bug? Thank you!

    Reloading game did not change the signs above the Riften Bank.

    Those crafty merchants in Riften will do anything to grab your coin!

    "Am I the bank? Funny that you ask. Did you see the sign out front? I will be happy to hold onto this gold and all your precious items for you. Off you go..." :smile:

    How does this sort of thing happen? Was there any change that touched these object references? Is it related to the bug where holiday assets are available out of season?

    It has been that way for years and no one noticed, or saw fit to mention it, until now.

    2015. Bank is in background. Can clearly see the scales on the signs of the bank. Interestingly, at some point, they removed the trees.

    Not sure. With this being a base-game zone, I wonder how long it's been like this. Has it always been like this and someone just noticed? Either way, we've got a bug in for it. :smile: If you all notice any others, let us know!

    As mentioned by Elsono, yes it has always been this way.

    Sounds good, now I'll be looking for it. It's an easter egg hunt!

    A lot of bugs go unreported.
    Reported bugs go un-fixt, many people stopped seeing the point in reporting bugs anymore.
    The problem with society these days is that no one drinks from the skulls of their enemies anymore.

    This is non relation to what's going on.. but it would be an awesome idea to put Galathil The Face Sculptor (The npc from Skyrim) in the rift so that people can make a small alteration to their charecters apperance... like changing the hair/skin color for a small coin fee.

    Am I the only one that prefers zos NOT fix this? The sign swap really fits the scheming, shady nature of Riften.

    If you played Skyrim, the eso lore of Riften goes even farther than what we get in eso, and from my pov, the sign mischief is totally in character for this city.

    Bank sign has been wrong for 12 years now. I reported it a few times in beta but have come to appreciate that it’s just one of Riften’s quirks.

    I do crafting writs in Riften but never really paid attention.

    I did notice years ago that the set crafting area nearby had either two clothing signs or two woodworking signs instead of a clothing and a woodworking sign and posted about it, they changed that.

    It has always ALWAYS been like this. I reported it in beta testing. Now it’s just part of Riften’s charm.
