[2023] PlayStation Patch Notes v2.52/1.34

The Elder Scrolls Online v2.52 (PS4) / v1.34 (PS5) includes some adjustments to the Gibbering Shield and Blazing Shield abilities and some fixes for a few Class Sets. We also have several fixes in Endless Archive including bonuses from item sets not functioning, situations where your character could be teleported to empty areas or losing a thread inexplicably, and making it so pets and companions take less damage. The size of this patch is approximately 1.025 GB for PS4 and 543.7 MB for PS5. General

• Fixed some additional issues where abilities that granted passive effects for slotting on either bar could persist through restricted ability bar effects, such as Werewolf and Oakensoul.

Arcanist

• Soldier of Apocrypha
• Gibbering Shield: This Ultimate and the Sanctum of the Abyssal Sea morph now have a limit imposed on the amount of damage they can deal per tick, roughly equal to the maximum size that each shield can reach with their natural scaling.
Developer Comment: [spoiler]This limit was added to prevent situations where this Ultimate could absorb tremendous amounts of damage when paired with other shields, allowing for damage values that could kill other player characters in a single damage tick. We've opted to go with this cap, rather than trying to enforce a situation where it only deals damage based on how much the actual shield itself absorbed, to avoid situations where you receive other damage shields in conjunction with this ability and prevent this specific shield from absorbing damage. We'll be continuing to monitor this effect and determine if we need to re-design this aspect of the ability, if it continues to create similar situations as it was.[/spoiler]

Templar

• Aedric Spear
• Sun Shield
• Blazing Shield
(morph): This morph now has a maximum limit imposed on the amount of damage it can deal, roughly equal to the maximum size it can reach against 6 enemies.

Class Sets

Quests
