The Smoothest Chapter Update so far

I'm sorry if this is a jinx or anything, but overall, well done on the smooth nature of this chapter. Compared to previous years, I think this would have to be the chapter with the fewest maintenances and no take breaking bugs so far. My only complaint is that the PvP campaigns reset without us getting any transmutes. Perhaps the rewards could be doubled to make up for this? Anyways, really good work today, ZoS. Here's hoping we see this more often.

What I have seen today from ZOS is a 180 degree turnaround on communication. While not every comment can be communicated on there are a dozen or more in which ZOS has come online today and communicated with the players. Now that is what I call customer service. I hope it continues and to see more of it as this Chapter unfolds.4

Does your stats change when you zone or is it just the icon and timers that go away?0 -

It's a UI error the buff is still active. I noticed it on the PTS but lets face it, that's really not the place to report bugs anymore.
Overall i do agree though. This actually seems like a rollout that just works™ and there hasn't seemed to have been any world-melting issues so far.4 -

✭✭✭Yes, it was indeed a pleasing surprise. I already got ready for a day without as I usually do. Instead I had a blast playing my new orcanist
Good job zos 👍Never get between a cat and it's candy!

Overland difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 24 DLCs. 40 game changing updates including One Tamriel, an overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver & Gold as a "you think you do but you don't" - tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game. I'm bored of dungeons, I'm bored of trials; make a personal difficulty slider for overland. It's not that hard.0 -
M0ntie✭✭✭✭✭Actually credit that as soon as the servers were up I could log in and play without crashes so gg for this ZoS1

✭it was a good launch. there are some minor issues but overall i'm pleasedPC EU - Steam client0 -
BenTSG✭✭✭✭I will give credit where it is due, I was expecting a long queue to get in around the hour after the servers went up, but nope, straight in, and once in there was no lag, delays or long loading times between zones or characters. Only issue, and for me at least was a minor one, was that the free character slot wasn't given straight away so I had to delete my unused 'One Life' character to make room for my Arcanist, but now I have the free slot so I can remake them if I choose to do it again0 -
blueprudence✭✭Yup agree. Thank you and we'll done Zos.
BUT, please give options to turn off other's and make smaller, my own crux indicator.0 -

The buffs aren't lost, only the UI indicator related to them. Also, that issue obviously isn't universal, because I haven't had it today, and I've played ESO 3 times today.Lost buffs and taking a month worth of PVP rewards are spoiling it.
[edit] Forget I mentioned it, see my post below, I've seen the problem also now.

No idea, and I just saw the problem myself, so I take back what I said above.FeedbackOnly wrote: »
What are you doing for it not to happen? It's beyond annoying.
I saw that my XP buff indicator was missing, so I used an XP scroll to test others' theory that it will prevent you using it if another XP buff is actually active (whether it's displayed or not). The scroll was used up, complete with the gold glow animation, even though I was quite sure the existing XP buff had 1 hour left to run. Then I noticed that in the character screen the timer had 1 hour remaining, even though the XP scroll was for 2 hours. So now I have no flipping idea what's going on with this. I think I might just avoid XP scrolls until it's fixed - this won't affect me much, since I only have 1 character, with no current plans to create another.Edited by Beilin_Balreis_Colcan on June 6, 2023 9:18AMPC(Steam) / EU / play from Melbourne, Australia / avg ping 3901 -

✭Yes, only two of my 81 addons went wrong, but Baertram at ESOUI provided a solution how to fix the issues.
There are bugs, reported at PTS, which went live (like losing food buff on rezoning), but overall - bravo, ZOS!

Crimsonorion✭✭✭Only "bug" I saw which was confirmed by a couple people in Zone, in both Necro and Acro are random spots where you just get taken off your mount and "You cannot use a mount in this location" will pop up. Happened around 5 times while going around getting wayshrines and WB's, just random open fields/nothing around me spots where my character would get off the mount and when I tried to get back on, got the message until I had moved a little bit away..wasn't horrible just odd0
-
I remember that kind of bug from PTS testing. I never made it into Acro as there was a long period in which players could not login but in Necro you can't mount up if you are under one of large corridors or whatever they are in the city. If you are already mounted up though you can go ahead and ride under them at least that was my experience.Edited by Dovahkiin02191973 on June 6, 2023 11:16AM0

Well, yeah, that's the thing I mentioned needs to be addressed hah, I was REALLY betting on getting more transmutes for the new toons I made. Now they need to consider either doubling the rewards or resetting the campaign now and letting the next be shorter.1 -

✭✭✭The Arcanist beam attack cost no resources for most of yesterday, until zoning eventually fixed it. I'd say there's a lot of little bugs but nothing game-breaking. Yet. Until someone uncovers a dupe or something else malicious.0 -

Yeah, not at all happy about this part.2 -
E_Lucan✭✭✭I like the positivity! Sometimes I feel like all I see here are complaints, and while I'm ofc not saying they're invalid, I do think it might be nice to add some appreciation to the forums so we're not all perpetually upset at one thing or another.
I know the PvP update has had its fair share of unhappiness linked to it, but as I have 0 experience with that side of the game (stepped into Cyrodiil once, got totally lost, left asap), I can't comment on it much so my only contribution is I hope it's resolved, whatever they need to do for that - so besides the PvP stuff, I do agree.
I'm used to maintenance times getting extended significantly for stuff like this (PC EU), often through basically the entire day due to the timezone difference, but this time the update was honestly really smooth. Haven't yet heard of any massive issues with bosses respawning like it was on High Isle, the game feels a bit more stable than it did during Firesong's launch, and so far the worst I've encountered was the occasional typo in the dialogue boxes. So gotta give credit where credit is due, this must have been pretty stressful to set up and execute and yet it went pretty well.1 -

Tbf they did actually mention this in the PTS patch notes week one. Also to be fair the wording was slightly confusing as I had interpreted it to mean the camp would end immediately when the patch went live. Having a second read of it later I did realize my misunderstanding though.2 -
