OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.1. This version contains our first major content update: the Adventure Zone Craglorn, as well as many other fixes and refinements.
You’ll need allies to take on the new challenges—Craglorn’s quests and exploration are designed for groups of four Veteran Rank 10+ characters.
We’ve also added our first Trials in Craglorn, 12-player adventures meant to test even the strongest heroes. In Trials, your team will have a limited number of resurrections to use as you attempt to reach the final boss. If you finish the Trial quickly, you might earn a place on the leaderboards and receive extra rewards!
Alongside the new content, we’re deploying tons of bug fixes and improvements to make your adventures in Tamriel even better. You’ll see fixes for quests and skill line abilities, updates to systems and quests in Cyrodiil (including bonuses for outnumbered alliances), and much more.
We’re looking forward to your feedback and bug reports, so get in, group up, and enjoy Craglorn and the rest of the update!
BIG CHANGES / UPDATES / NEW FEATURES
PTS Templates
Because Craglorn is intended for Veteran Rank characters, we’re providing character templates to PTS testers. To use the template, select it from the drop-down menu in the top left of the character creation screen, and then create a new character normally. When you log in, you’ll be placed in Belkarth at level 50 with the appropriate Veteran Rank, skill points to spend, and starting gear.
Craglorn
An Adventure Zone designed for groups of four Veteran Rank characters to explore, located between Cyrodiil and Skyrim. A new quest available in Mournhold, Wayrest, and Elden Root will lead you to the zone.
Trials
Hel Ra Citadel and the Aetherian Archive are open! Groups of 12 players can take on these difficult challenges to earn new loot and a place on the leaderboards. You can use the group finder tool to locate others for your Trial group, but be warned: you’ll need excellent coordination and skill to take on the Trials.
Groups begin a Trial with 60 Soul Reservoirs. This counter decreases when a group member resurrects, and a Soul is consumed.
The Trial fails if no Soul Reservoirs remain, and no group members are left in the Trial.
You can view this to the right of your Ultimate ability, and it only appears when you are on an in-progress Trial. You can control this in the Settings the same way you can control the Action Bar.
Trial quests give special rewards the first time they are completed each week.
When entering a Trail via means other than a door, you will be sent to the Wayshrine. This includes logging out and logging back in.
This will not affect players in the Trial staging area.
Combat with any monster in a Trial will block resurrection for group members until combat ends.
Trial Leaderboards
Trials will trigger a timer that will end when the Trial can no longer continue or is complete. This timer is used for leaderboard scoring.
Leaderboards are updated periodically (approximately every five minutes), so they may not be 100% current when viewed.
You can see your best times for all Trials via the Trial Leaderboards.
You can see the Trial Leaderboard of the top 100 times for each Trial, and the current Trial of the Week.
Friends and Guild Members will be notified via the Notification window when you improve your best time in a Trial.
Trial of the Week
The Trial of the Week starts and ends at specific times, which will be different for the North American and European megaservers.
North American Trial of the Week
Starts on Tuesdays at 2:00pm EDT
Ends on the following Tuesday at 8:00am EDT
European Trial of the Week
Starts on Tuesday at 6:00am EDT
Ends on the following Tuesday at 12:00am EDT
If you are on the Trial Leaderboard, you will be rewarded when the Trial of the Week ends and can expect your item in the mail.
A new Trial of the Week is selected at the Trial of the Week start time.
The Trial of the Week leaderboard is cleared when the new Trial of the Week begins.
Veteran Rank Updates
You can earn up to Veteran Rank 12 as you continue your adventures in Craglorn. Additionally, the veteran XP earned from killing enemies has more than doubled.
Dungeon Chest Changes
Chests within instances have undergone two changes:
Shared Chests – Each player in the group who is within 50 meters of the chest when it is unlocked will get an individual roll on the chest.
Reduced Number of Chests – Since each chest yields rewards for all group members, we have reduced the number of chests in instances to two total. Each instance will always have two chests in then, but the location of these two chests will be random within the dungeon.
These changes do not affect chests that appear in public spaces, only those within instances.
Death Recap
Death Recap has been added to the game. When your character dies, a Death Recap window will now appear. It includes vital information about what contributed to your character’s death, including the most recent damage inflicted on your character and helpful hints to avoid death in the future based on how your character just perished.
Alliance War Changes
A new population underdog bonus has been added. When your alliance is outnumbered in a campaign (determined over several days of population samples), it will receive a bonus to potential scoring and alliance points. You’ll see an indication of this bonus in the scoring UI if it is active.
The XP awarded for killing enemy player characters has been doubled.
XP rewards for completing the quest to kill 20 enemy player characters have also been increased.
High Resolution Enemy Textures
New, higher-resolution textures for all non-humanoid enemies are now available! These are viewed automatically.

We have made one small amendment to these notes. We added a couple lines to the note below, to make it more clear. (The bolded part is what we added.)
Fixed an issue with several area-of-effect abilities where they could erroneously hit an unlimited number of targets. Please note, this fix does not introduce new target caps on every area-of-effect ability. It simply fixes the very small handful that didn't have them, as all the rest did. (All area-of-effect abilities in ESO have some sort of cap.)
See the State Of The Game Address post by Matt Firor for details of how and when these will be implemented, notably;
Edit: PTS Patch Notes 1.1.1 posted by @Morhawk.We are in process of putting up our first major update to the game on our Play Test Server (PTS), which includes many updates to the game, including class and weapon ability tweaks, content fixes, and updates to almost all game systems. It also contains our new end-game Adventure Zone, Craglorn, with Veteran content aimed at 4 and 12-man groups. So stay tuned for PTS patch notes for all the other fixes that we’ve been working on. This is a major update to the game, so it will be on PTS for at least a week or 10 days for testing before we take it live.

OVERVIEW
Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.1. This version contains our first major content update: the Adventure Zone Craglorn, as well as many other fixes and refinements.
You’ll need allies to take on the new challenges—Craglorn’s quests and exploration are designed for groups of four Veteran Rank 10+ characters.
We’ve also added our first Trials in Craglorn, 12-player adventures meant to test even the strongest heroes. In Trials, your team will have a limited number of resurrections to use as you attempt to reach the final boss. If you finish the Trial quickly, you might earn a place on the leaderboards and receive extra rewards!
Alongside the new content, we’re deploying tons of bug fixes and improvements to make your adventures in Tamriel even better. You’ll see fixes for quests and skill line abilities, updates to systems and quests in Cyrodiil (including bonuses for outnumbered alliances), and much more.
We’re looking forward to your feedback and bug reports, so get in, group up, and enjoy Craglorn and the rest of the update!
BIG CHANGES / UPDATES / NEW FEATURES
PTS Templates
Because Craglorn is intended for Veteran Rank characters, we’re providing character templates to PTS testers. To use the template, select it from the drop-down menu in the top left of the character creation screen, and then create a new character normally. When you log in, you’ll be placed in Belkarth at level 50 with the appropriate Veteran Rank, skill points to spend, and starting gear.
Craglorn
An Adventure Zone designed for groups of four Veteran Rank characters to explore, located between Cyrodiil and Skyrim. A new quest available in Mournhold, Wayrest, and Elden Root will lead you to the zone.
Trials
Hel Ra Citadel and the Aetherian Archive are open! Groups of 12 players can take on these difficult challenges to earn new loot and a place on the leaderboards. You can use the group finder tool to locate others for your Trial group, but be warned: you’ll need excellent coordination and skill to take on the Trials.
Groups begin a Trial with 60 Soul Reservoirs. This counter decreases when a group member resurrects, and a Soul is consumed.
The Trial fails if no Soul Reservoirs remain, and no group members are left in the Trial.
You can view this to the right of your Ultimate ability, and it only appears when you are on an in-progress Trial. You can control this in the Settings the same way you can control the Action Bar.
Trial quests give special rewards the first time they are completed each week.
When entering a Trail via means other than a door, you will be sent to the Wayshrine. This includes logging out and logging back in.
This will not affect players in the Trial staging area.
Combat with any monster in a Trial will block resurrection for group members until combat ends.
Trial Leaderboards
Trials will trigger a timer that will end when the Trial can no longer continue or is complete. This timer is used for leaderboard scoring.
Leaderboards are updated periodically (approximately every five minutes), so they may not be 100% current when viewed.
You can see your best times for all Trials via the Trial Leaderboards.
You can see the Trial Leaderboard of the top 100 times for each Trial, and the current Trial of the Week.
Friends and Guild Members will be notified via the Notification window when you improve your best time in a Trial.
Trial of the Week
The Trial of the Week starts and ends at specific times, which will be different for the North American and European megaservers.
North American Trial of the Week
Starts on Tuesdays at 2:00pm EDT
Ends on the following Tuesday at 8:00am EDT
European Trial of the Week
Starts on Tuesday at 6:00am EDT
Ends on the following Tuesday at 12:00am EDT
If you are on the Trial Leaderboard, you will be rewarded when the Trial of the Week ends and can expect your item in the mail.
A new Trial of the Week is selected at the Trial of the Week start time.
The Trial of the Week leaderboard is cleared when the new Trial of the Week begins.
Veteran Rank Updates
You can earn up to Veteran Rank 12 as you continue your adventures in Craglorn. Additionally, the veteran XP earned from killing enemies has more than doubled.
Dungeon Chest Changes
Chests within instances have undergone two changes:
Shared Chests – Each player in the group who is within 50 meters of the chest when it is unlocked will get an individual roll on the chest.
Reduced Number of Chests – Since each chest yields rewards for all group members, we have reduced the number of chests in instances to two total. Each instance will always have two chests in then, but the location of these two chests will be random within the dungeon.
These changes do not affect chests that appear in public spaces, only those within instances.
Death Recap
Death Recap has been added to the game. When your character dies, a Death Recap window will now appear. It includes vital information about what contributed to your character’s death, including the most recent damage inflicted on your character and helpful hints to avoid death in the future based on how your character just perished.
Alliance War Changes
A new population underdog bonus has been added. When your alliance is outnumbered in a campaign (determined over several days of population samples), it will receive a bonus to potential scoring and alliance points. You’ll see an indication of this bonus in the scoring UI if it is active.
The XP awarded for killing enemy player characters has been doubled.
XP rewards for completing the quest to kill 20 enemy player characters have also been increased.
High Resolution Enemy Textures
New, higher-resolution textures for all non-humanoid enemies are now available! These are viewed automatically.

Medwin✭✭✭✭"An Adventure Zone designed for groups of four Veteran Rank characters to explore, located between Cyrodiil and Skyrim."
Isn't Craglorn in Hammerfell.... WHY DO YOU HATE HAMMERFELL!!
For Arkay's sake, here is a map from the first elder scrolls game. You guys keep acting like Hammerfell doesn't even exist.
So far in ESO you have the DC Cyrodiil gates be called High Rock, the region does not even touch Cyrodiil. You have the Imperials like 2/3rds of the way into Hammerfell while everyone else battles them on the border, heck you moved Evermore into Hammerfell... You obviously hate Hammerfell for some reason.
So I repeat can you please tell me why you hate Hammerfell?? Do you just hate Redguards a ton? By the way, all this crap about Redguards having to give up land due to a necromancer summoning some corpses was never an issue before now. Now they just have to turn tail and run from Necromancers or be outcasted and dishonored. What!?Please read through and comment on my incredibly comprehensive Vampire guide.

Please please please give those of us that want it, the option to completely disable XP both in PvE and in PvP. I would love to spend more time in Cyrodiil, but I don't want to out level my PvE areas.
Just a simple toggle to disable it is all I and many others would like, we're not asking for any others to loose out on their XP

maholi✭✭✭Alliance War Changes
A new population underdog bonus has been added. When your alliance is outnumbered in a campaign (determined over several days of population samples), it will receive a bonus to potential scoring and alliance points.
I am skeptical of this. As it stands now on DB, Ebonheart Pact (I LOVE you guys)- which consists of about 5-10 players (heh), usually dominate on alliance points because they can go kill people whenever they want. We (AD) have so many people to choose from (to be killed) :P. They also do not have to worry about diminishing returns like we do.
