Load times feel like they are back to console launch again. I should probably stop playing till monday when the next patch hits. Hopefully it fixes all these issues because it is simply frustrating to try and play with these bugs let alone try to determine how to get my sorc back to feeling somewhat strong in pve again. I lose magic real quick now but i am too frustrated by everything else to even focus on that yet.

Also, we all enjoyed your image choices.

Please check the missing beams with a Vampire character.

I was in Cadwell's Silver last night (just started the Bankorai area) and I was running around outside of Evermore killing Reachmen. My Vampire Drain beam does not show.

I get the red aura around my character's torso that says I'm draining them, and the Healing performs as it is supposed to, but there's no beam.

Also; not sure if you're aware, but Essence Drain doesn't seem to Stun enemies as reliably as it used to before the IC patch. I'll Drain one enemy, and it will Stun just fine. When I go to Drain another enemy right after the first enemy, the Stun doesn't work and the enemy charges at me and starts hitting me while I'm draining them (which defeats the purpose of Draining them).

Also tied to this problem; if I use Essence Drain on an enemy, then battle with the same enemy for the next 3-5 seconds, then try to Drain them again, the Stun effect doesn't work. I can feed off of one enemy multiple times, but the Stun seems to be limited to either 1) the first Drain only per enemy, or 2) the Stun has been randomized or set at a percentile chance.

If #2 is correct, that's just messed up... because none of that change to the Stun effect was in the patch notes.

My Vampire Essence Drain is currently morphed as Invigorating Drain if that helps at all.

Also, I know you guys aren't planning on reversing the Stamina Regen for Tanks right now, but I would plead with you to reconsider. For the DPS guys (like my Nightblade, Templar, and Sorcerer), we NEED those Tanks to be able to regen their Stamina while blocking. It allows them to keep the aggro (you know, actually BE a tank) and take the punishment while the rest of us do our various jobs.

Killing the Stamina regen while blocking for tanks effectively killed that entire generalized character build, and it puts every other character build in jeopardy when rolling through a dungeon.

But you guys need to realize that Tanks NEED that Stamina regen while blocking, it's what makes them a Tank.

Xbox One Patch Notes v1.1.0.0 - Issues Experienced since Imperial City DLC Launch

(Sorry, didn't know where else to list these. If possible, please direct me to the correct location.)

- Horribly long load times, even when traveling from one wayshrine to the next, in the same zone (ie. Waysrhine from Davons Watch to wayshrine near Ashen Grip crafting station) - Looks like you're aware of these
- Arrow/Crown indicators disappear from group members (sometimes they flicker in and out, sometimes only one is visible. Logging in and out is not an option with how long the load and queue times are. However, this does clear up the issue)
- Heavy/Spell Attack effects stop showing up (ie. can no longer see the visual for when an enemy is charging up their heavy attack or spell. Re-logging does resolve this, but, again, long load times makes this unreliable)
- Red Zones started/left by enemies stop showing up (similar it issue noted above)
- Frame Rate Lag when navigating through Inventory, Bank, Guild Trader, etc.
- Random Disconnects, followed by the error "Unable to connect to server. Please make sure you have a valid internet connection." all while my internet is fine still completely connected.

Let's not forget about rapid maneuver not working with mounts on some toons...

My guild of 400 on XB1 has all beams gone on all abilities, staffs. Repentance, radiant destruction, resto staff. Not a single thing yet works.

Can confirm this.

Crushing shock , resto staff, lightning staff all doing the same from my end

I've also noticed the sound is disappearing all the time, like missing footsteps, missing ability activation sounds etc. Very buggy, on top of continual load screens.

-The beams are intended to be gone

Please don't post false information. ZOS already responded in this thread (post #22) that the beam issue was discovered and is being looked into.

Also, ZOS....are you gong to refund Guild Trader bids for the Guild Store pricing issue? Spending over 1 million gold on a trader and basically not being able to show item prices is pretty bad for sales. Most trade guilds can't afford to have a bad week in sales and not seeing the prices for items pretty much tanks sales.

Oh wow...you're back.

The beams are all gone. Whether they did it by accident or not they aren't missing but removed on both console versions in this patch. It's not miss-info as when you read the patch notes they intentionally made adjustments/changes to some. The end result removed all beams.

The beams are working as intended....it's just a mistake or maybe they are defining it as a bug now. It was reported on PC PTS too so maybe they will comment later. Oooppss we didn't take those reports seriously on PC as it was sporadic

Edit:
Other instances seem to have been reported prior as well

"The beams are working as intended....it's just a mistake or maybe they are defining it as a bug now. "

I'm sorry but that made zero sense.

I have noticed this since the Update on the PC. It is random and sporadic, but it does occur.

Chiming in from XB1 here.

I have no beam effects at all ever. Radiant glory, healing and lightning staffs, regeneration... All gone. It makes my character feel nerfed.

Outside of IC, I still have ZERO beam effects. Using Soul Strike as a test on my DK against mobs in Reapers March. No beam from my toon to the monster I was fighting. Just the bright blue light around me, one around him, but no beam linking. XB1 as well, since the update.

Got rid of ESO Plus this morning, thankfully MS sent me a full refund for it.

No buff or access to IC last night was one of the last straws.

It was an issue on the M$ side. Thankfully M$ refunded you for a fault in their system.

What did they refund? I ended up having to buy the DLC even though I was a sub.

I didn't get one. That was a comment to somebody else who got a refund. From the sound of it, they got their $14.99 back. I was simply pointing out that blaming ZOS for a M$ issue is pretty inane.

The only big thing I hate is that if you have no space you CANNOT pick up anything even if they would stack PLEASE @ZOS give us a hotfix.

ie, you don't play your own game on console. This is an obvious and known issue.

It seems they only test console on their internal servers and not on the actual servers which is of concern
Because of the frequency of issues on all platforms an extra step should occur to have a PTS server on the console networks for internal employees and special invitation because more problems are occurring than compared to problems being resolved.

Ppl talk about leaving the game for lack of this or that but ppl will actually leave if they are unable to play or see what's going on when they are playing
