That's it? I was expecting more significant updates with the time it was taking.

Figured I'd just paste it here to save some people the trip...

OVERVIEW

The Elder Scrolls Online v1.5.8 is an incremental patch that addresses a variety of outstanding issues surrounding gameplay, dungeons, and quests. In an effort to improve performance in Cyrodiil, we have also escorted all deer and torchbugs to greener pastures. Please note the version number on the client will still say 1.5.7 after maintenance; this is a known issue, and will be fixed with our next maintenance. This patch will be approximately 200MB.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS

Alliance War
General •In an effort to help reduce server strain tracking the multitude of monsters within Cyrodiil, the deer have fled to greener pastures with less blood on their hooves. Torchbugs have joined them…with less blood on their little feet obviously.
•Adjusted the scale for displaying high, medium, and low population in the Campaign Display window. This will now work correctly in conjunction with the population changes we previously made to Cyrodiil.

Combat & Gameplay
Templar •Restoring Light •Repentance (Restoring Aura morph): Fixed a remaining issue where the effects from this ability would not clear after you resurrected.

Weapon •Destruction Staff •Heavy attacks will now restore magicka when your targeted enemy is blocking.

•Two Handed •Brawler (Cleave morph): Fixed an issue where the damage shield from this ability wasn’t refreshing to the correct value when used twice in a row without the shield breaking.

•Dual Wield •Fixed an issue where your weapons would appear to vanish from your hands if you swapped the weapons while in your inventory.

Alliance War •Assault •Caltrops: Visual effects from multiple ranks of this ability will no longer stack multiplicatively, resulting in improved performance and more effects showing up in large battles.

Dungeons & Group Content
Dungeons •Elden Hollow •Fixed an issue where the Darkfern Skeletons that were summoned by Canonreeve Oraneth would not fight you.

•Vaults of Madness •Fixed an issue where you would not receive credit for killing Ulguna Soul-Reaver for the Pledge or the quest Mind of Madness.
•Mind of Madness: Gasteau will once again be available to complete this quest, after you defeat the Architect.

Veteran Dungeons •Veteran Elden Hollow •Fixed an issue where you could not kill the boss and his adds after resurrecting with a soul gem.

Miscellaneous
General •Fixed an issue where you could crash while in The Rift.

Quests & Zones
Alik’r Desert •March of the Ra Gada: You are no longer required to interact with shrines to summon the bosses for this quest; instead, you just need to be near their spawn locations.

Eastmarch •The Chill Hollow: You can no longer acquire loot from certain corpses in this cave.

Shadowfen •Trials of the Burnished Scales: Fixed an issue where the warriors you duel after drinking the root poison were sometimes not interactable.

Stonefalls •Quieting a Heart: You will no longer be blocked from finishing this quest if you’re the last one in a group to search the correct urn.

UI
Mail •You will now receive a confirmation box when sending mail that includes an attached item or gold.

Anyone else read those patch notes in about 30 seconds flat? Back to twiddling my thumbs....

Nothing to fix LFG tool??? How disappointing.

There's more to maintenance than just the build itself.

That said, we are beginning to wrap things up and hope to have everything back up within an hour or so.

Takes a good long while to net all those bugs, load them in urns, load the urns in carts...

ItsGlaive · January 2015

No fix for the dual wield audio bug? So my *stab stab stab* still can't be heard?

EDIT: Forgot to say, thanks for the update. You guys can't win sometimes - we moan when there's no maintenance, then we moan when there is. Take all the time you need!

Oh and if you could slip those dual wield sound effects back in...

Gazjon · January 2015

And nothing about the effects lingering on the bows when trying to shoot, causing great difficulty in actually seeing enemies as they attack.

MADshadowman · January 2015

And sound is still disappearing completely?

dwright09ub17_ESO · January 2015

C'mon already...wait 3 weeks, get begged for maint, ignore people for 3 days, then do 30 min maint, now a 6 hour one with a patch that no one will appreciate. Who runs this place and how much longer do you expect lack of patch notes and communication to appease the masses? Seriously, just COMMUNICATE one time in advance, with details. In the end you will ignore the bugs reported on PTS, even though you did not apply it there this time, It's like the 3 stooges MMO dev squad.

grimsfield · January 2015

Still no loading screen fix. Oh wait... you have to admit that is a thing first.

Awesome! Thank you for the update. I always find I make so much progress domestically on patch/maintenance days. Laundry..check. Writing..check. Shovel snow and make lunch..check. Just in time for the servers to come back up.

I was hoping for the patch to fix this, the vanishing spiders nest WB, and the crash to desktop far shores quest that prevents me from completing the DC faction quest line. I'm 0/3. Maybe next time?

I'm glad they're saving the Cyrodiil deer though.

Fair enough.

And, yes... that's ok, though... just want it done right.

I dont understand why patch notes cant be release when you guys start these things. It reminds me of GTA5 forum, they make a patch and take hours to even post notes on whats going on. Stupid I think, but there may be a reason i dont know about.

Why would they release notes for something that hasn't been fixed yet?

That's what I thought... patch notes to me is a post fix thing... "this is what has been done" type of thing.

Drewschebag · January 2015

I've just stared at my screen since about 10:00 central. Hopefully it will be up within the hour

jcaceresw · January 2015

I would have waited for such long maintenance for the Update 6 if were deployed today on PTS. But instead is for a very short patch notes. Hope those wrapping up implies much less lag I have been experiencing for at least 2 months (not on Cyrodiil by the way).

sylviermoone · January 2015

Wait...so the patch downloaded, but the realm is still offline?

What is this madness?!?!

Yes, but ESO kills the hour while I'm waiting for the clothes to dry.
