I think Zenimax is trying to tell me something

I was just decorating and noticed my eye light was missing... I sort of figured out where it went...
Should I be concerned?

Once I was decorating a house for a housing contest a couple years ago, and I was pretty much done ..a lot of intricate placing of things had happened. I logged early the day of the contest to just to tweak anything I thought necessary, and I was horrified to see like HALF of the furniture I had placed so painstakingly had VANISHED! I just about broke down in tears because it took me so long to do. Checked the retrieve section and saw the items missing were well over 1000+ away. I logged out in defeat and back in a few hours later, and MOST of it was back where I had placed it, so I retrieved the few items that were still impossibly far away and put them back in their places. It has happened to me again 2 more times since then with a few items teleporting to parts unknown in a house.

I really think it has to do with the linking feature. If I need to use it to move stuff together, once they're in place, I unlink the items...hasn't happened since I started doing that. Now mind you, it wasn't ALL linked items that disappeared..it was also some that weren't linked to anything, and SOME of the linked items stayed when others did not...no rhyme or reason.

Glad to know it's not just me this has happened to now, because everyone I asked had never had this happen to them.

Edited to say that I am on PSNA

Yeah its happened to me quite a few times before, but THIS is way beyond those times.
It'd either be 200 - 500m, but TWENTY-FOUR MILLION METERS away is a whole new record lmao.

I've decided to leave the eye where it is.
I think having an eyeball twenty-four MILLION meters away for absolutely no reason is hilarious.

That's the spirit. 😆

But yes, this has happened to me as well, and I agree it seems to somehow be related to the linking feature. Usually a relog fixes it.

Well you probably launched the first satellite in the elder scroll universe. 24.000 km away, earth diameter is 12.700 km and don't thing this planet is much larger so its in high orbit.

You can be happy you don't have to go to collect it.

Great, Herma Mora now has spy satellites. Big Brother much?

Metres, as in metric. Not meteric.

Meters measure water and electricity.

As much as I prefer British English... In American English "meter" is the correct spelling for the metrical unit. (Here in Germany it's spelled "Meter" as well, by the way.) It's like center/centre and so on.

@topic:
Congrats on winning the Tamrielic space race! Or starting it - we'll see were other people's furniture ends up. A companion far enough out to be on the moon would be next, I guess.

If I spot a floating green eyeball Down Under I'll let you know...

I wondered why one of those eyes just randomly showed up in one of my houses, winked at me, then disappeared to Divines know where. 🧿

It would be interesting if it is always that far away - it could mean that it is in geostationary orbit, like always directly above your house.

If that is the case, and assuming the density of earth is approximately the same as Tamriel, and their days are the same length, then the radius of Tamriel is approximately 0.7 that of earth.

Not sure how a geostationary satellite would interact with those two moons though... but it's only an act of faith that keeps them in orbit in any case.

Thank goodness Nirn does not have three moons. I watched that series “3 Body Problem”, which suggests if Tamriel had three moons we would have all sorts of crashes and downtime and such. 🌙 🌕 🌖

Given the size (closeness) of the two moons, and that they are frequently seen together, add in Tamriel and you do have a 3 body problem.

Might explain the intermittent rubber-banding and time warps
