How amusing is this forum going to be when this "tested" patch hits the consoles ?

No really , taking away options to keep your health bars hidden to keeps not being able to be repaired and everything in between .

/golf clap on the Q/A

Now , imagine what this is going to be like when it hits the PS4 and Xbox and they can't patch/hotfix as often as they can on the already slow PC side of things as they have to go through Sony and MS.

It will be glorious to see the console brethren brought into the world the PC version was in at launch.

    I'm fairly sure not only are their restrictions as far as going through Sony and MS for the patches , it also costs Zenimax money each time as they must go through their servers to do it.

    So unless they nail it perfect , ha ha , ha ,,,ha ,ha , they will stay fubar'd for quite a while.

    Every other change sounds terrible though and pvp looks so bad with this low damage that further encourages zerging

    What's sad is ZOS isn't even admitting things like the minute (or several minute) load screens are even a problem. The one bug from this POS patch they've admitted to so far is the accidental wipe of your mundus stones. Not all toons get this but many have and it wasn't supposed to happen according to a dev who posted elsewhere. That's all they've fessed to so far. One minor bug. Do they even play this game before they release the patches? How could you miss 300% increases in loading screen times? Or 80% drops in frame rate? This is basic "is it plugged in" level of functionality and they have no clue it's happening to virtually all of their customers -- or "cuss" tomers. :pensive:

    Honestly this the only good thing to come out of the patch.

    I'll have some good entertainment come September 15/16 when they still haven't fixed all the bugs we're reporting from our "testing" of this patch on the live server.

    After reading so many comments about the patch for PC, I am not looking forward to patch day for consoles at all. It is a sad feeling to go from being excited to login to the game, to dreading it. I still encounter people that have no idea these changes are about to happen and direct them to the forums.

    Oh well... Popcorn for everybody! Enjoy the show when the patch drops for us on consoles!

    ZOS is claiming they have fixes in the pipeline for PC/MAC on Monday to address the hellacious load screen times and hideous FPS rate drops. So maybe, just maybe, those issues won't hit console users the following week.

    And maybe pigs will fly.. (cue Simpsons video clips)

    Honestly I think that is going to be the worst of it for the console players. Simply judging from login/network issues you all have had on just normal weekends , this will be exacerbated even more considering the problems PC players are having with it.

    I think their Twitter will get hit hardest if it all hits the fan. Anyone who comes here will know what to expect, and are probably bracing themselves for it if they have any sense. I been through this crap with Battlefield 4 on PS4. I used to have respect with Dice in the days of Bad Company , but not any more.

    Just hope we do not have the same experience we had downloading the last big ESO patch.

    Most of us on console will probably move on to Fallout 4 in November anyway.
    This post will not take you an unusually long time to read.

    Maybe the 1.7 release will be much smoother. After all, consoles are less "risky" for bugs : hardware are all the same, no conflicting addons...

    Might work out OK for you console people.

    Console players basically just quit and move on to the next game when things like this happen. I see F2P in ESO's very near future.

    Yeah NeverWinter has been doing great and the population has actually gotten stronger as of lately! I do not know if it is the players coming back from their ESO vacation or more people are joining.

    I like both games, but ESO has a better game if ZOS will just get things pointed in the right direction and stop destroying the gameplay with these nerfs and broken update.

    Not be a ***, but you sound like the pc gamers did a few days ago. Funny how things can change.

    I can honestly say I hope it goes horribly and forces their hands into reverting many of the horrible changes they have made and instead implements dynamic changes for the better. As of right now we are hearing nothing from them and it is bad. They were told about these problems during the PTS and they did nothing.
    I always thought solving a problem before its broken was the best option but apparently ZoS thinks its long term goals are in order.... and they are. For failure.

    I just hope a new MMO comes out on console that's not riding stupid birds around or some COD MMO garbage so i have something to play. I knew ESO wouldn't be the best game but i had no idea they would take a meat cleaver to it immediately after release

    The problem, on PC anyway, is that many of us have a UI add-on that has it's own health bars. So now with this patch, we show 2 of them.
    Anyone else rooting for Molag Bal?

    I think that is why I am not thrilled about this patch. The game just came out on console and they are already making huge changes to the gameplay. Too soon for such big changes.

    Yeah I agree I would have liked to have 6 months to learn the mechanics before they change them completely. Lol oh well
