Same here on both things you said here. I love the waterfall and pond one; the rocks and even the style of that place.








I've seen a couple vids on them, but they brush by the personality ones and just keep going back to the drunk. And one vid said the "Heroic" was glltchy.

I was actually hoping for housing neighbourhoods rather than a few set houses dotted around the wilderness, but that still looks good.

Still got at least 6 months until it's released, strange that it's already partially up on the PTS.

They probably want to make sure everything is stable before incorporating anything. I wonder how it will work ... and how much it will cost!

^^^ A fair amount of news in this one. All about update 12 and One Tamriel, with some big changes to the game. Exciting!

I'm excited about this one !!! Thanks, Hazmick !!!


** Has anyone else had trouble with their game since Monday's patch? Any characters in Coldharbour or certain dungeons when they shut down the server and applied the patch can not be accessed; and anyone who was not in a bad sector and was able to access their characters cannot go to Coldharbour or those certain dungeons.

(It goes to a loading screen that never ends, you have to close out the game and reload it to get your character out of that limbo)

I haven't had any issues like that. My game crashes a lot in Orsinium and Grahtwood, but it's been like that for a lot of Xbox players since before the Dark Brotherhood.

My advice - check the forums to see if any other people are having a similar issue. You could also contact customer support but I'm not sure how good they are.

hazmick, thank you for that link!

Update 12 looks like it is going to bring ESO closer to the open world of a TES game. I am delighted that they are re-working Craglorn with the solo player in mind. I’m all for tough world bosses and certain dungeons designed for groups, but I believe that the questlines should be doable on one’s own.

mALX, I just got the latest patch this morning and haven’t done much exploring since. Orsinium was laggy, but no more than usual. Is there any place you’d like me to check? I will be home by late afternoon and hopefully will be able to get online. (They’re tearing up our streets and service has been unreliable.)

There have been several with the issue - we did complain and it seems to have been fixed without an additional patch, meaning the error was with their server or something and not with the patch itself.

Our area was fixed without a patch, but my friend from Australia couldn't get on again last night. She only had one character ever since she started playing over a year ago; and had it parked in Coldharbour so couldn't access it.

She had to start a new character because it was the only way she could report the issue; but she has no desire to play a new character so won't play again till they fix the issue. (But she still got on TeamSpeak to talk to everyone the day after the patch)

@ Grits - Hearing about areas like Craglorn being made geared more toward single player and smaller groups is what has me so excited too, I have been in with just two of us and been slaughtered. It wasn't fun, but ... they had skyshards I wanted, lol.

Craglorn's also the highlight for me. Haa-Rei tried it a while ago, and it wasn't the difficulty that stopped us but the fact that you straight up couldn't enter some areas without more than one person. I hate it when games do that, so I'm happy that they're changing it.

Ditto, but I was also dying too frequently from groups of 20 enemies hitting at once. It kind of kills the fun when you can't walk 30 feet without dying, lol.

That’s what steamed me in Craglorn, that some quest mechanics required more than one player. It’s hard to find players there at all, and when I’ve joined a group they always want to do something other than the quests.

Craglorn taught Jerric to carry repair kits. (And to make sure that he’s wearing a chest piece under his costume. )

mALX, I’m glad your issues got fixed without waiting for another patch!

Yes, me too. Not being able to go into dungeons was frustrating for me; but at least I could still run around and have fun. My friend Aussie not being able to access her only character - I felt a lot worse for her situation.



** EDIT = I just caught that about Jerric, and after his trip nude to the brothel in the middle of the night I could just picture him nude and throwing on a costume,

I want that Kagouti mount and the Pocket Mammoth pet. I should have enough crowns for one or the other.

Thanks for the update, hazmick. Buffy's riding her Imperial City pack white horse while hoping that the palamino will become available again at some point.

Thanks for the news, hazmick! It’s going to be fun to see kagouti mounts and pocket mammoth pets running around. Good luck deciding which one to bring into Haa-Rei’s gang!

My Imperial Rowan Varrus is getting a do-over as a Dragonknight. I suspect that she will want the Cyrod formal gown. It’s very pretty on the NPCs.

Thank you so much for posting these updatesl, Hazmick! I've been wondering about some of the new armors!





@ Acadian - Did I remember to tell you that you can change the names of your mount (and I think pets too) ???

Thanks, mALX. Yes you did tell me and one of the first things Buffy did was change her horse's name to you know what. Lol. And her pets have their own names two.

A new video by Alcast looking at some of the upcoming weapon ultimates. Really interesting stuff.

WARNING: some strong language.

Ooh, nice preview! Thanks, Hazmick!
