✭Not this week because of stupid stadia
Edit:
I dont expect anything anyway. There were 5 weeks of pts and nothing was properly fixed so why nowEdited by Anyron on May 24, 2021 4:55PM16 -
Jameson18✭✭✭✭✭I just got a couple friends to get xbox and the game, based on the earlier video/interview where they talked about changes and server updates. My GF and I play regularly together. We enjoy PvE progression, quest content etc. etc., and PvP heavily. I've got 11 toons.
Now I feel terrible, as since then, performance has gotten worse, and this patch/update is about to exist. I'm really hoping there's some further updates before it goes live, or they at least heed feedback in the live notes.4 -

✭This is usually the end of the PTS cycle. What we have now, is usually what goes live. It was why I was annoyed about the broken Templar focus, despite being reported weeks before.2 -

(EDIT: From what I understand) Stadia, like the consoles, require an internal type review on standard patches/dlcs before they go live. They need about 2 weeks(ish) for that review, particularly with a dlc this big.
If they were to drop a new patch today, they would have to delay the pc launch until it gets reviewed on Stadia.Edited by BlueRaven on May 24, 2021 6:05PM4 -

✭✭At this point what you see is typically what you get. All you can do is hope for the best because even with easy reproducible bugs there's no guarantee they'll be fixed at release.
All corporations who have software products will put a freeze on development at some point prior to release of a new version. I suspect ZOS is no different.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, there wont be any more significant changes until after it goes live for PC1 -
dhoward5b14_ESO✭✭✭The first week after new update on PTS nothing changes. The next week is when all the significant changes usually happen. After that there are rarely any significant changes.

Ahh, so not really stupid Stadia, as ZOS is doing what they always do and Stadia is taking advantage of that to look out for their subscribers.(EDIT: From what I understand) Stadia, like the consoles, require an internal type review on standard patches/dlcs before they go live.

Well Stadia is definitely a delaying factor when it comes to pc patches. Outside of hotfixes, it’s a factor in why zos is not as nimble as they used to be when fixing issues on pc/mac.4 -

Does not matter. ESO is on Stadia, and Stadia is on the PC servers, so this is the way it has to be. ZOS is not going to pull support from Stadia.0 -

Does not matter. ESO is on Stadia, and Stadia is on the PC servers, so this is the way it has to be. ZOS is not going to pull support from Stadia.
But if Stadia doesn’t survive or goes into the “maintenance mode” some are predicting, I wonder if the cert process will be dropped and ESO might go back to the more timely PC updates.
I’m not sure where Stadia’s headed, to be fair, but they might not know either. They lost several major executives, including a VP, earlier this month.0
