Can't wait to hop in and try everything out in a few hours!

Threemoons · May 2016

Hail Sithis! Most definitely eager to get in on this after playing on the Test Server. And I can FINALLY use my poisons that I've been accumulating....

Threemoons · May 2016

Quick followup question: How does on apply poisons to a weapon? Right click or double click? I don't want to accidentally ingest it!

Fudly_budly · May 2016

Switching between Two handed weapon and Bow idle is nerfed. My toon holds bow like sword and sword like bow. lol hysterically. Please fix.

NativeJoe · May 2016

The forums header says that the update is complete. But, the launcher is showing the realm is offline and cannot connect to the servers. Is the update actually finished or not?

Odd, I logged in an hour ago to buy my new pet and mount, and a few poisons, so I guess they're patching already again?

TTMighty · May 2016

Ahh, there is a thread open regarding the "we take it back, the servers aren't ready" thing.

Apparently there was a glitch in the hamsters and they are being treated.

We are bringing down the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers to address an item-related issue that was introduced with today’s update. We do not have an ETA at this time, but we’ll provide updates in this thread as we have them—thank you for your patience.

While you're here, can you please fill us in RE how to apply poisons/game mechanics around poison?

Thanks!

Please please please change the synergy between vampire feed and Blade of Woe.... you pay the consequence of eating, which imho the early stages of vampire should give the bonus and deteriorate as you starve. This is kind of backwards. Now I have to wait HOURS to get my speed bonus back when I didn't want to feed in the first place.

Feen · June 2016

As far as the Armor Improvements go, I just want to point out that the Altmer heavy armor chest now clips through the Altmer light armor hood ... whereas before it didn't. ;-P

Blacksheepart · June 2016

VD belts still standing out from the clipping about 2 feet and bats don't go off when they're supposed to, PVE or PVP.

The DB robes are very nice, the leather one you get at the beginning not so much. The neck is exposed in a so called full suit and I vote for less butt flaps in armor. Those hanging pieces on every single armor set are annoying and ugly.

"Finally, a huge thank you to everyone who's taken the time to jump onto the PTS to give feedback and submit bugs for this update. Your feedback has had a large impact on this DLC and helped us immensely to improve the overall quality."

@ZOS_RichLambert
Really bud? How can you even say this with a straight face?

"What's next? Stay tuned for the Bethesda E3 Showcase on June 12th!" AHA! I knew that's when we would hear more!

@Threemoons You just drag it (poisons) to the slot beside your weapon. Or right click and select equip or use or whatever it says

Mojmir · June 2016

Db is a copy paste job of thieves guild.
World bosses have the same spells/mechanics
Db quests are the same caves with the same design. If it wasn't for all the base game changes thrown in,this would hardly be a an inadequate DLC.is this why they take so long to fix things? So they "fluff up" the dlcs?

davejschraderb14_ESO · June 2016

So I guess I won't be on for a few days....Can't even play the game at all..disabled 15 addons and still getting nothing but constant "Zenimax LUA errors" inventory manager problems...black screen...no addons lua errors - its all within the game itself which is freaking incredible to me......You'd think that a launch would be a little more prepared than this......... especially after being on the PTS server for ages.. Really shocked at Zenimax's poor performance as usual.

davejschraderb14_ESO · June 2016

I'm starting to feel like every new DLC is just a constant chore of reworking our stuff to be able to play

davejschraderb14_ESO · June 2016

Zenimax...FIX YOUR ***!

davejschraderb14_ESO · June 2016

i AM STARTING TO FEEL A HUGE REGRET FOR BUYING SO MANY CROWNS OVER THE YEARS...... You're giving me a bad taste in my mouth with each and every new DLC

Yeah, figured it out, thank you! Too bad it nulls out your weapon special effects though...

aria230 · June 2016

ZOS you are wondrous, with all the new awesome DLCs and fixes and lore, damn I love the lore. And I cannot express the full extent of my gratitude in words for keeping in touch with the community. It actually shows that you care about your game and care about us having a good time in it. Sure there are mistakes but I've never seen the developers of an MMORPG put so much heart into their relationship with the users. I love you to pieces for this!

And now that Dark Brotherhood DLC is up and running, people are enjoying it, all that good stuff ... would you please, please! For the love of all this work you put into the game and the relationship with us users, please give us the "Appearance customization option" (AKA the Barbershop) next. I've been begging for it for the past 4-6 months and I assure you all my RP friends are anxious for it too (also getting annoyed that it's taking so long to be implemented). I for one am (obviously) desperate for it.

You probably already figured this out, but if you accidentally feed you can use vampire abilities to advance back to stage four quickly.

Feeding is kind of weird to me anyway, as you suck out a stream of blood rather than bite your victim. That and the ranged active should probably be replaced with something less ridiculous. Mist Form is better now, but still not that great. Bat Swarm is the only vampire ability that performs well and isn't stupid/lore-breaking. Hopefully ZOS will continue to work on this skill line in the future.
