Maintenance for the week of May 11:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – May 11

Console players don't matter?

I'm an xbox one player, and it has been a month an a half almost since we received our last patch. If memory serves me well, we are missing: (1) Guaranteed Maelstrom weapon weekly rewards, (2) Stranglers pull being taken away and DK from stage 8 damage no longer ticking twice upon standard activation, and (3) the patch from today.

This is a bit weird, as we are at least 3 updates behind the PC. Any response from Zenni would be appreciated.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Sadly it's all due to Microsoft and Sony's certification processes.

    This is due to a need to test the patches to make sure they don't brick your console or something like that, however unlikely that scenario may be.

    Weekly patches would not be able to happen on consoles so they have to bundle them all together in one big patch, missing out other patches the PC got afterwards and so on.

    Sweetrolls for all!

    Because this is being very constructive. This is not the time or place to talk about which is better. I don't care about how you have to continuously upgrade your pc to run games, I... Just... Don't... Care. And here's where you argue about your fps abd blah, blah, blah? GTFO.

    This is a post from Zos made yesterday...
    We'll be having an incremental patch on PC tomorrow, and the next console incremental will be later this month.

    That's all the info you get for now. ;)

    So console will be receiving a patch later this month. Not sure if it will include today's patch or not.

    On that topic, be sure to come up with a game plan for Arena 2 that doesn't use harness magicka.. since as of today on PC those attacks are now physical and not magicka based.

    And yeah, it's because everything has to go through Microsoft/Sony so they can't send out so may small patches like PC receives.

    Would it make you happier if they said "No, we don't give a Rat's A** about consoles! It was all a money grab!"

    ...

    It has been explained over and over that your respective game console provider has to certify the patch before they are released. What else would you like to hear?

    Remember back when PS3 people couldn't get the 3 dlcs for Skyrim because Sony wouldn't certify them? They more or less scrubbed all future dlc plans and the PS3 players had to wait until the GOTY edition came out to get the dlcs. It's sort of the same thing happening now except not as bad, so far...
    Sadly console players need to accept a 1 to 2 month waiting period before getting patches or dlcs that PC players get.

    We don't have to accept anything. They need to sell us more DLC to keep going, and we console players don't stick around to get screwed over very long so do some research on that fact. Just like PC players forked out 15$ a month for how long? TO get how many updates? You should thank us for making it B2p for you now at least there are regular expansions. Stick around long enough PC master race you might learn something one day.

    Kinda need it. Should be easy to add since they deliberately removed it. Voice is okay, but is really suboptimal.

    Currently there is no way to party chat with your whole guild or zone. Too many voices make communication confusing. Open mics get ridiculous. When you are in a party chat there is no communication with anyone who is not in chat.

    The list goes on and on. But it is stupid to not have it.

    Yeah regular DLC is a downgrade. How many updates did you guys get with new content in the what? Year and a half you paid 15$ a month? Craglorn and what else? You're probably just ignorant if you think that's a downgrade to paying for your dlc upfront and getting new content each quarter rather than shelling out 45$ each quarter for what? Nothing? Empty promises? At least now when you pay you receive content right then and don't have to beg and pray. EDIT- Not surprised to see no response to this. Console master race.

    Gotta point this out, from another thread, @Decayed_Inside honestly believes that PC patches should be delayed until console patches are released. If that doesn't show how laughably little he understands of the patching process, I don't know what will.

    Regular DLC? I'd rather them fix the damn game first, something that was more likely to happen with a subscription model and not this B2P crown store nonsense. You see for me, new content doesn't sum up the entirety of a game as it does to you apparently.

    It's actually quite hilarious that you think I'm ignorant after repeatedly denying any sort of explanation to your questions because it doesn't fit into your version of an acceptable answer.

    Well it's my opinion and you won't change it by silly statements like that. Rather pay them to endlessly to "fix' the game? Go ahead subscribe. I however am Enlightened. The game will NEVER be "fixed" so I'll take regular DLC for my dollars, while you can buy pipe dreams with yours.

    Good luck with @Decayed_Inside, @bchulettub17_ESO. Like I mentioned, he honestly thinks that PC patches should be delayed until the console patches are released. Showing a complete and total lack of knowledge of how ZOS does patching for consoles. Combining multiple patches into one patch.

    So yea, just let him rant into the void. He just wants to scream at walls anyways.

    I'm seriously starting to doubt your reading comprehension. You call people ignorant because they don't agree with you yet when called out you claim that it's your opinion and I won't change it. I don't want to change your opinion, I want you to realize how ignorant you are. The game will never be fixed with incessant moaning for more DLC, and console players seem to be leading that front.

    The irony is that the origin of the "PC gaming master race" was actually intended as an insult and compared elitist PC gmaers to a specific regime from WWII. The funny part is that general ignorance has allowed the term to be misused over time such that today many PC gamers take pride in the term. To each their own I guess.
