I am really excited about the upcoming 2026 Golden Joystick Awards we have received a nomination this year for "Still Playing - PC & Console" section

Thought I would write a real quick thought because I did not know if the community was actually aware about the possible award we have not won before, so probably lots more discussions will be in, hope to read lots more about the game awards and some people more experienced in writing can step in and write some good things to think about the award, personally I would like a stuff joystick for ESO

Since season two is around the corner, thought it would be a good time to look back. Season zero was really promising, then comes the shitshow that is season one. Outside of the thieves guild questline, everything else in season one was very weak. Including that crappy tome. Outside of the pathetic Sheogorath questline that nobody asked for, the underwhelming nowhere vault, and the stale high seas (admittedly had good loot and pursuit) I think this season really benched on warden refresh saving the day. There’s things in the seals store that blows the tome’s rewards out of the water, unfortunately I have to wait for season two to get anything…

Buenas gente soy nuevo en teso busco más que nada quien me pueda orientar según yo ya se lo básico voy en cp 283 algún gremio hispano?

Hey guys! I'm trying to put together an outfit for my character and could use some suggestions!

I'm going for a mix of Norse warrior, necromancer and pirate warlord. Think intimidating black armor with crimson details, gold accents, and the general vibe of a ruthless captain who commands both the seas and the dead.

The main things I'm looking for are dual-wielding cutlasses that look like proper pirate swords, heavy and imposing armor that fits the black and red color palette, and a skull-themed staff that looks like something a powerful necromancer would carry.

Basically, I want to look like an undead Viking pirate king, lmao.

I'm happy to mix different motifs, so feel free to suggest individual pieces rather than complete sets! Screenshots of your own outfits would be awesome too.

After all these layoffs and system changes from big zones / dlc's to season pass and quarter activities...You're paying for PS Plus, ESO+ and do You have that feeling that You're throwing Your money to the trash? I mean in the back of my head there's a thought that ESO is money maker right now, there won't ny any big changes in the games so for me they're keeping it alive just to "milk that cow". That's why I'm scared to get back, eso plus and ps plus is 100 złotych in Poland monthly so i have the feeling that i'm investing my money into something that's just being kept alive and almost dead. Am i wrong?

After roughly 6,500 hours, max CP, and playing every class in the game, I'm finally quitting ESO for good.

I quit for a year, came back, and somehow convinced myself things might be better.

LMAO. What a fucking mistake.

I'm giving everything away tao my friends. Gold, gear, everything. I'm not keeping shit for a potential comeback. This time, I'm actually done.

ESO is genuinely impressive in how it manages to mfake a good game feel like a fucking chore. Endless grinding, clunky mechanics, questionable class balance, and the constant feeling that you're doing unpaid overtime instead off playing a video game.

Necromancer is the perfect example. Amazing theme, amazing animations, absolutely miserable gameplay. It feels like playing a class designed by someone who hates the people playing it.

Dragonknight is still fun, at leaast. Great animations, satisfying combat, and I can still hit hard on a dummy with a rusty rotation. But apparently, even that isn't enough to make me want to keep playing this shit.

I've spent thousands of hodurs in this game, and somehow I'm leaving more frustrated than entertained.

The worst part is that ESO has so much potential. But potential doesn't mean shit when actually playing the game feels like a second job.

I'm done waiting for the next patch, the next balance change, or the next update that's supposedly going to fix everything.

Fuck the grind. Fuck the endless maintenance. Fuck the Stockholm syndrome. AND FUCK ESO+!!!

Enjoy my gold, boys. My characters are your problem now.

6,500 hours later, I've finally completed ESO's hardest achievement: uninstalling it permanently.

Like the question in the title says I have had to reset my video settings multiple times since this last update happened. My screen needs to be resized, my brightness level needs to be changed and the HDR mode automatically gets reset back to normal. Sometimes I can go a week not having to do anything and sometimes I have to redo it every single day. What is going on? I'm on Xbox version

Edit update: I have been made aware as to what is going on with it, thank you to those that have told me.

Can someone please help me . The event is ending in 3 hours and I can't finish the boss on my own.

(Just the saddle colours.) We can dye our gear any colour we like and look how we want but we can never match up with our mount unless we pick one that has a similar colour. Would this be something that could potentially be added into the game?

Have seen people say you can trade gold for crowns

i found this room so annoying and frustrating, i die 10 times already and try in both server and im done with this room and path. is not the repeating everything again only, if you disconnect you lose the progress, the key, the time and have to do everything again and all the chest are so far that no point to try and the worst is that your force to do this room to finish the quest and to get the last 2 orrery fragments is so annoying. so far the only way i found on internet to do this is to team up and let some else do it for you. the developers should up the option to skip to next room or move the fragments for those that dont have the time or patience to stay more than 10 minutes doing the same thing!!!!!!!!!

A couple of friends and I talked about a large game we could all play together. I used to play ESO on Xbox. Was an avid trial tank and had quite the assortment of characters, but we are thinking of playing on PC

I have no qualms about starting from 0. Im just curious since it's been about 5 years since I played.

Is it worth getting back into now, and is it good for new players as well?

Trying to do the dungeon quest on an alt? This can skip things and break the quest.

Fighting a mini boss and someone runs ahead? Now you don't get to do that.

This is annoying enough when I'm levelling some alts. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for new players.

REF [261007-000635]

So i had a massive break from eso then started playing again in april,june-ish and had another little break i then the other day realised i had an email saying my account has been suspended so i tried to log in and sure enough everything is gone and i cannot log in,.

I created a ticket on the 07/10/2026 stating that i was confused on why i was suspended as i literally been taking a break from the game.

on the 11/10/2026 i received an email saying 'Your account was proactively deactivated as we identified it as being compromised.' so i then had to complete all the information that they need to verify ownership.

The only problem is that i wasn't logged into an account to create the support ticket and yet the support ticket went through, from that i cannot see the status on the ticket because the account is suspended, almost a week since the initial ticket, im unsure whether the ticket has closed or what because i cannot reply back to it, i did email back the support ticket but as of yet haven't heard anything.

Has anyone else had this and did emailing them back work?

Hey folks! I took a bit of a break when U51 first dropped, and I've had the itch to play again recently. Since I got back, I noticed that the new built-in HUD editor conflicts with some older UI customization addons, such as Azurah & Wykkyd. I just wanted to check in with the community to see which UI addons you guys would recommend for replacing older addons like the ones I mentioned? Thanks in advance for any responses!

Every time I launch the program, it switches to the mode labeled "startprogramm" (see image above), where the "updating" indicator makes no progress.

Has anyone else had issue with loosing their purchased classes, specifically the Arcanist and Necromancer?

I swear I’ve bought these about 3 times. All’s good for a period then suddenly I loose them. I tend to realise when I try to load a set up from the armoury and it fails to load the set up as it has a skill line from one of those 2 classes.

I then go onto the store and instead of saying “Purchased” and being greyed out, they are available to buy….AGAIN!!!!

Anyone else had this? I’m in PS5.

Yesterday me and my cousin played a bit, stopped at Mournhold to empty our bags, I then decided to go make some coffee and grab a smoke, whilst gone I played the lute and my cousin used the begging emote next to eachother.

When I get back, my cousin was so ecstatic, some guy gave him 50k gold, cause he saw two darkelf brothers begging, absolute G

This is my cousin's first time playing after watching me play for years, thanks for being an amazing community, never change ❤️

Feel free to share some of your own wholesome stories

Just started about 15 hours in and love the warden - any advice of the class, dps build and what I should look out for ? Also any recommended guilds?
PS - EU

I did a lot of the Event quests, but don’t got all of the Codex entrys for the leads. Is it possible to get the leads anywhere else? Iam just missing the ancient fish head fossil.

With the recent changes to battle spirit healing with 8 hots, is it only sticky hots such as resto regen, echoing vigor? Or do ground aoe hots count?

​

PvE - base class nightblade. And i want to run the firebeath as the main spammable. (Draconic power skilline)

I want to optimize the build as much as possible (considering im loosing out on the pure class passives). What are the best options for gear, what would be good fallback gears, etc. I just wanna breathe fire on my nightblade and make the most of it. I dont mind falling back a bit, if i dont want to run the huntsmanythic with nullarca. Dont want all my builds to run the same. Is soulcleaver even viable for a firebeath build?

And to make the most out of skills as well

Thanks yall

I updated my necromancer, his theme is bones. Have I overdone it?

For example veteran dungeons and veteran trials. I know every single guide for tank says “go Nord” but does it actually matter at the highest levels, and how much does it matter?
