PTS Patch Notes v2.5.1

OVERVIEW
The Elder Scrolls Online v2.5.1 is our first incremental patch on the PTS for Update 11 and the Shadows of the Hist DLC game pack. It addresses a number of issues with the new content and systems as well as introducing three new features that were missing in the initial PTS launch. This incremental patch also includes some fixes in the base game patch for quests, itemization, crafting, and more. We’ve also updated the existing character templates to include the six new dungeon item sets, two new Monster Mask sets (Velidreth and Haj Mota), and updated Trials and Dragonstar Arena item sets and Master Weapons.The size of this patch is approximately 640MB.

Thanks to everyone for your feedback and bug reports so far! We’ve been reading your forum threads and posts, and look forward to seeing what you think of this latest patch and the new features!

NEW FEATURES / UPDATES / BIG CHANGES

Base Game Patch

Trade Bind-on-Pickup Items to Group Members
Equipment looted while in a group can now be traded to active group members for two hours after being looted. 
  • Group members must have been present when the items dropped, and in the instance (if applicable), in order for trading to be an option.
  • Items that can be traded will have modified tooltips indicating how long they can be traded for, as well as to whom.
  • Not all items that are bind-on-pickup can be traded. Monster Shoulders, since they drop from Undaunted chests for example, are not tradeable by design. (Monster Helms, since they drop from Veteran Dungeon final bosses, on the other hand, are.)
  • This system is not exclusive to Dungeons and Trials—the system is universal, but most of our bind-on-pickup items that are tradeable do drop in Dungeons and Trials.

Dye Stamps (Crown Store)
You will soon have the opportunity to purchase consumable Dye Stamps from the Crown Store.
  • Each Dye Stamp comes preset with specific colors and color order—they can be applied to your Costumes and Hats, regardless of whether or not you have unlocked the associated dye colors via the Achievement System.
  • You can purchase multiple of the same Dye Stamp and store them in stacks in your bank for later use. You can preview the new look prior to purchase and prior to application of the Dye Stamp.
  • Dye Stamps will cycle out of availability regularly to introduce others.
(Note: Rare dyes unlocked from achievements are not available on dye stamps, however other colors, unavailable as Dyes, may be.)

Find the Crow Caller to Herald the Witches Festival!
For a short time, players can petition a Witchmother for her boon! But does it come with a price?
  • Use the Crow Caller, an item available from the Crown Store, to start your quest and obtain the Witchmother’s Cauldron! (The Crow Caller item will be free, just distributed in the Crown Store much like the Jubilee Cake Voucher.)
  • After obtaining and drinking from the Witchmother’s Cauldron, bosses from delves, dungeons and all around the world will drop Plunder Skulls, containing various limited time items only obtainable during the event!
  • The Witches Festival event is not part of Update 11—it will go live around the same time as the Witches Festival, in October.

FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS, BASE GAME PATCH

Alliance War
General
  • Updated the Achievement Point value for the Grand Dragonknight Slayer Achievement so that it matches the point values of the equivalent Achievements for the other classes.

  • New visual effects have been added to poisons that apply Ward, Uncertainty, Hindrance, Cowardice, Maim, Savagery, Fracture, and Resolve.
Harvesting
  • Removed an extraneous tooltip that could be seen in the world near some survey sites.
  • Survey Report Runestones now produce a Potency Rune in lieu of one of their previous two Essence Runes. Additionally, these Runestones have been renamed to avoid confusion related to calling them "dual" when they produce four (or more) runes.

Crown Store & ESO Plus
Appearance/Name/Race Change

  • Personality animations will now correctly play on the Character Select Screen after a player has used a Race Change or Appearance Change Token.
Costume Dyeing

    • We've added Powered versions of The Master's Greatsword, Sword, Inferno Staff, and Restoration Staff to the pool of possible Master Weapons available in the Dragonstar Arena.
    • The Archer's Mind, Destruction Mastery, Footman's, and Healer's Habit sets now have shields in infused, Divines, Well-Fitted, Reinforced, and Sturdy now available from Dragonstar Arena drops. Before, they were only available in Infused.
Trials

    • The Necromancer and Stygian item sets have been removed from the Champion 160 Hel Ra Citadel item set drop tables, and the Hide of the Werewolf has been added. The Necromancer and Stygian item sets will be reintroduced at Champion 160 at a later date.

Exploration & Itemization
General
  • Crusty Sweetrolls and Crusty Bread found on tables in the world will now scale to any level.

Miscellaneous
General
  • Fixed an issue that was causing Memento functionality to break if your Memento cooldown expired while on a load screen. (Note: While this fix will not retroactively remove any existing timers, we are working on a supplemental fix that will clear any remaining timers in a future patch.)
  • Loading screen tips that referred to the old Group Finder have been updated to reflect the new features and functionality.

Quests & Zones
Main Quest
  • Soul Shriven in Coldharbour: If you ignore the Prophet upon returning to Tamriel and running around without turning in this quest, your quest pins will no longer try to direct you to Auridon, Glenumbra, or Stonefalls.
Auridon
  • Plague of Phaer: Fixed an issue with this quest where the guards could shove you into a post, resulting in your character becoming stuck.

UI
General
  • Fixed an issue where lockboxes, Thieves Troves, and chests displayed an item name instead of the correct container name.
Japanese Game Client
  • Fixed an issue where the day character (日) associated with the guild creation date was being displayed as a blank square on the guild screen.

    Cool, literally the only piece of gear that'd I'd be interested in trading. I'm going back to never owning a bloodspawn helmet, because since debut it remains the one helmet that I've never been able to loot, not even in a bad trait.

    It seems rather strange that you state that monster set pieces cannot be traded, yet right below that, the screenshot that you use to illustrate this feature shows a tradeable monster set piece. This is rather confusing, as you might imagine.

    Also, if monster set pieces cannot traded, this begs the question, why? This exclusion makes absolutely no sense and substantially devalues this feature. If everyone was there for the boss kill, why should they be barred from sharing in the loot?

    Same as everyone else, non-tradeable monster helms when you show it as tradeable?

    And Powered weapons from vDSA? Did you mean the powered trait, which is garbage for non-resto staves, or did you mean an EMPOWERED version, that is better than the normal weapons?

    This is only an incremental patch, one they anticipated including trading and dye stamp, chances are many of these changes were already set in stone and therefore any attempts to adjust based on feedback will have to wait until the official changeover to EU.

    I wish you wouldn't keep adding nonsensical traits to places they don't belong. Like Prosperous and Training on endgame gear, and powered on other things than resto staves. Sure there will always be one or two people who will use powered on a destro staff or a bow, or whatever, but for the majority of players it will be a useless trait. I feel like the endgame gear should have traits that people desire.
    Precise/Sharpened/Nirnhoned on offensive weapons, Defensive/Powered on defensive/healing weapons.
    Infused/Divines/Nirnhoned/Reinforced/Well-fitted/Impenetrable on gear pieces.
    The other traits are extremely useless for the most part as they either don't compare to the good traits or simply have no proper application at end level.
    Training is good for levelling, but that's about it.
    Prosperous is good for ???, I've yet to figure out if this actually is good for anyone but inefficient goldfarmers.
    Charged on weapons doesn't really seem to do much either.

    EDIT: At the very least if you aren't going to make the traits sensible, give the players a way to change traits. Maybe a max level crafter has a cooldown ability to change one trait on an item per week or something like that.

    Not all items that are bind-on-pickup can be traded. Monster Shoulders, since they drop from Undaunted chests for example, are not tradeable by design. (Monster Helms, since they drop from Veteran Dungeon final bosses, on the other hand, are.)

    So, Monster Helms are tradeable, Monster Shoulders are not.

    We're planning on discussing the Racial Passives during ESO Live this Friday, so we'll address some of the concerns and questions.

    "Not all items that are bind-on-pickup can be traded. Monster Set pieces, for example, are not tradeable by design."

    Hm, but you show a monster helm as example. And these kind of items should really be tradable, while most groups are formed for helm-farming.

    A full set of prosperous won't even generate enough gold to cover the repair bills for grinding out gold while wearing it. Yes, it helps, but it's not nearly enough. Prosperous is a neat idea but doesn't do well in execution. Prosperous may have worked well as an alternative to the Treasure Hunter CP passive to give you a higher chance to loot more/better items, but as it is, getting Prosperous from vault keys and other end game rewards is just aggravating.

    Someday they'll adjust it so that the quality of ornate items dropped by mobs is increased.

    You said that Monster Set pieces are untradeable by design... but the picture shows a monster set item which says it can be traded. So, uh... can they be traded or not? D:

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom clarification please? That's a really confusing image.

    We're working on getting this clarified now. Stand by!

    clarifie it as tradeable...pls:)
