Before 1.0.7 patch
After the patch
Here are the official patch notes:
The Elder Scrolls Online v1.0.7 features more fixes to quest issues and blockers, in addition to some fixes to backend systems to improve overall game performance.
FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
Alliance War
General
- The Elder Scroll beacon effect will no longer vanish when the carrier uses the vampire ability Mist Form.
- You can no longer use the ability Bolt Escape while carrying an Elder Scroll.
Combat & Gameplay
Vampire
- Fixed an issue with the ability Bat Swarm so it will no longer stack with itself. It will instead refresh if re-cast.
- Reduced the cost reduction per stage of vampire abilities.
- Reduced the movement speed bonus of the ability Mist Form.
Patch Notes v1.0.6
During today’s maintenance a new patch will be deployed. It seems to contain a lot of fixes (even more than previous patches) to various quests and progress blocking issues. I can also see some client bugs that caused freezes and crashes fixed. I wonder what “everyone must pay the COD fee to accept COD items” means exactly? Does that mean that the receiver of in-game mail with COD attached is the one paying from now on and is the “tax” shown in the UI before accepting the charge? I guess we’ll all see soon enough.
FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
Alliance War
General
- Fixed an issue where new characters of different alliances could get automatically assigned to the same campaign.
Combat & Gameplay
General
- Fixed an issue that caused some Nightblade abilities to become unresponsive when you were engaged in combat with a large number of enemies.
Patch Notes v1.0.5
This is the second patch deployed this week and it focuses on fixing a lot of progress blocking quest bugs. It should also help with long loading times when changing instances that some of us have been experiencing. If you play as part of the Ebonheart Pact and are in Eastmarch you will be glad to know that Ashmalah has been found and will now spawn! Here go the patch notes:
FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
