PTS Patch Notes v3.1.2

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

The Elder Scrolls Online v3.1.2 includes several bug fixes surrounding Horns of the Reach content, combat and itemization, numerous furnishing items, and more (next week's patch will bring some combat-related balance changes). We’re also activating the upcoming Witches Festival for testing, and have enabled all Battleground game modes in the Grab Bag. This week, we copied all PC/Mac European megaserver characters for aid in testing. The size of this PTS incremental patch is approximately 4.2GB.

Witches Festival
This year’s Witches Festival is now enabled for testing on the PTS! This event is similar to what we offered last year with a few adjustments.

We’ve adjusted Plunder Skulls to drop a wider variety of items. This includes a number of spooky new furnishings and furnishing recipes, as well as a chance at bundles of furnishing materials.
We’ve also added two variations on the traditional Witches Festival masks: the Hallowjack Spectre and Thicketman Spectre!
- Please note that the original masks are still available if you missed them last year, but are much less likely to appear.

Battleground Updates
All game modes and maps have been placed into the Grab Bag Battleground Queue for this round of testing.

Housing
General

Player homes cannot currently be previewed, and instead give an error indicating that you lack permission to view that home. This will ultimately prevent you from purchasing new homes on the PTS. We plan to have this fixed in the next PTS incremental patch.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

General

Fixed an issue so you will no longer get stuck walking near the pillar and plank in Seyda Neen.

General

The Redoran and Hlaalu motif books now have the correct text and icons.

Quests

Curinure’s Invitiation: Once you complete this quest, you can no longer accept the Mages Guild invitation quest from other zones.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

Dungeons

Bloodroot Forge
- Dreadhorn Blade-Bearer’s Javelin ability will no longer display an erroneous Action Combat Tip suggesting it can be CC broken.
Falkreath Hold
- Morrigh Bullblood’s Basilisk Powder now displays a telegraph.

Updated the descriptive achievement text for Bloodroot Forge and Falkreath Hold so it’s clearer how to complete the achievements.

General

The Bulls Horn emote now displays the correct icon.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

General

Fixed an issue where Racial Skill lines were not maxed out on the PTS character templates.

Item Sets

Earthgore: Fixed an issue where this item set’s proc would occur regardless of the target’s health percentage.
Maelstrom Restoration Staff: Fixed an issue where this was not providing enough Critical Strike rating relative to other item set bonuses.

ZOS_GinaBruno · July 2017

General

Fixed various boulders that had openings on the bottom.
Fixed a variety of flames from braziers and lamps so they can no longer been seen through various objects.

Potion reduction enchantments now correctly reduce the cooldown of potions. For real this time.

Eidetic Memory

The following books can now be found after completing their associated quests:
- Ode to Ethrandora
- Ritual of Appeasement

Furnishings

Fixed the icons for a large number of new furnishing items.
Fixed an issue where several new furnishings had the incorrect gold value when selling to vendors.
Fixed an issue that prevented a number of new furnishing plans from stacking to 200 in your inventory.
Fixed the name of the plan for the following furnishings to match the item:
- Rough Torch, Standing
- Primal Brazier, Rock Slab
- Hagraven Cauldron, Rough Stone
Fixed the plan for the “Dres Sewing Kit, Masters” furnishing so that it correctly requires both Bast and Heartwood, instead of requiring Bast twice.
The "Mammoth Cheese, Mastercrafted" furnishing now requires actual cheese to manufacture. Cheese on, noble souls.
Updated the name of the "Shriven, Robed" furnishing to "Soul-Shriven, Robed".
A number of furnishing tooltips now contain more accurate sizing information.
Fixed an issue where some new furnishings were appearing in the wrong category within the housing editor.
Glowstalk furnishings now actually emit light.
Adjusted the quality-value of several Coldharbour foliage furnishings.
Target Dummies purchased from the Crown Store no longer bleed when taking damage. They’re not even real!
Corrected a number of minor typos in various furnishing names.

Homes

Added previously missing plants from Hunding’s Palatial Hall to the beach and in the bay.

General

Fixed an issue where some smaller art items would appear slightly less often than intended when stealing. This also caused certain containers like wardrobes and nightstands to occasionally fail to contain anything when you tried to steal from them.

Stonefalls

Fixed an issue that prevented some quest targets from spawning correctly. This affects the following quests:
- A Goblins’s Affection
- Restoring Order
- Savages of Stonefalls

Guilds & Guild Stores

Franieck · July 2017

Are the new motifs finally in the template chars now?

PS4_ZeColmeia · July 2017

Nightblade here, any changes to classes for the final patch? Those usually don't have those types of changes so are things stuck as is for class balancing?

I'm not personally affected by the twisting path fix, but we still have issues related to our rotation (grim focus, duration of some skills, cloak still not fully fixed) I was hoping to see in this patch.

Dr.NRG · July 2017

How the hell is this patch 4 GBs lol?

Lord_Eomer · July 2017

Changes not even worth reading!

May someone found intersting!

Sandman929 · July 2017

"Added previously missing plants from Hunding’s Palatial Hall to the beach and in the bay."

Hands down the most pulse raising part of the whole thing.

Even the announcement that "this will be boring" didn't prepare me for just how boring it was.

Time to banish him back to Auridon, methinks, and let Tolendir Gals take his rightful place as Magister and Quest Giver.

Rex-Umbra · July 2017

New homes?

Interesting. Here I thought I could be lazy and just enjoy the double xp, haha. It's awesome there's some new masks coming!
