    My biggest concern for the update coming for PS4 is what bugs we have on PC/Mac that won't be fixed, and what new bugs they have created just for the consoles. It is probably going to be a good month before we get another console update. I know some of the bugs won't be there, like the XP bug, Cyrodiil queue bug, and Crown Store massive discount, but this has been a very buggy update in general. Much more than average.

    I'm not looking forward to the update. I like a lot of the things that are in it and I can't wait for no aoe caps, but I'm sure consoles will be unplayable for a week, then barely playable for a few more weeks.

    Be careful with stockages ! Don't delete your char just after you put some nice item in these stockages, or all your items will be delete.

    When you go to the Outfit Station, pay attention to the drop down menu.

    No Outfit is your equipped gear and you can dye it freely. There is no gold counter and you can't dye weapons.

    Outift 1 is your outfit. The first time you go there, it will look identical to your equipped gear, but you will be charged gold to dye and you can dye weapons.

    If it looks like you are being charged to dye your equipped gear, dont panic like everyone on PC. Switch to "No Outfit" and dye away freely.

    It depends on your playstyle, not everyone is experiencing all the bugs you read about here. In fact, if they were more common than the usual issues there would be a great many more people posting here rather than the usual ones.

    The more serious issues are reportedly being patched on PC on Monday, so hopefully they will be fixed when the update goes live on console.

    Not trying to sound snarky or whatever, but I would honestly advise just taking a break from the game. Wait a week, see how things are shaping up. If you're not logged in, you'll suffer from bugs a lot less. Catch up on that backlog of games you've been meaning to get around to for like 6 years, or revisit an old favorite or two for a while.

    If you're some kind of ambitious weirdo or whatever, you could go outside or exercise or whatever it is that those people do while I'm playing ESO. ;P


    And the advice about scooping up any motifs you can now is sound. It'll be a while before prices die down, most likely.

    Go farm motifs to sell for some of that dank profit.

    Xivkyn pieces are going for about 5k a pop on PC, and faction ones for a bit more. So jump into IC and get grinding for that dank loots.

    I'd start looking into your game backlog now... Find a game you haven't played but want to try... it'll be a great opportunity for that, it seems ;)

    As you'd probably need some other game to play coming next weeks (after patch lands) specially if you PvP in Cyrodiil

    (I'm referring to the queue issues we seem to be having... which, weren't solved yet and are still happening at this moment.)

    Prepare for a total mess and nightmare. The DLC and Update was not ready for release but ZOS with their ultimate wisdom released it anyways. None of the bugs that we have been putting up with this entire week have been fixed. Have to wait for the next patch. *** poor game support.

    Also weapon swap is a mere suggestion to the game engine now.

    Even worse if you dye your weapons. takes even longer to swap.

    Have you tried setting your textures to low? I had the bar swap delays even before I dyed my weapons amd changed their appearance. Later, I had outfit dyed weapons and had very few swap issues after changing to low quality textures. Admittedly, Cryodiil was ugly, but I had less issues than what I'd had before.

    Find a new game to play for a bit. I’m going through a Life is Strange phase myself now that I’ve got my hands on Before the Storm, so I’m good for a little while :smiley:
