The Elder Scrolls Online v1.30.1.0 contains several important fixes including a fix for block being cleared after dodge rolling or bashing, a fix for several Antiquity Leads that were not dropping, a number of quest fixes and crashes, a fix for Kjalnar's Mask Style Page not dropping, and more.

Please note there is a known issue involving block that most commonly occurs when attempting to swap weapons while weapons are being drawn or sheathed, preventing you from blocking again until zoning or relogging. This should be fixed in the next incremental patch.

The size of this patch is approximately 2.17GB for Xbox One and 1.1GB for Xbox Series X.

Hi everyone,

While we can confirm we have fixed the original issue with block, we identified the cause of this new blocking issue that went live with yesterday’s incremental patch. This issue most commonly occurs when attempting to swap weapons while weapons are being drawn or sheathed, preventing you from blocking again until zoning or relogging.

We are working on a fix now and want to take some time to thoroughly test over the next couple days to ensure things are stable; unfortunately, the fix for this issue does require another new client build and is not something we are able to hotfix. It will also be present after the console incremental patch on Wednesday.

We understand how frustrating this is for everyone, including us. We’ll let you know as soon as possible when to expect the fix but expect it to be on or around December 19.

Hey all, just confirming we've seen these reports and are investigating. Thanks!

@ZOS_GinaBruno any news on a hot fix??

We're still trying to pinpoint what exactly is going on. Given this is supposedly only happening in certain instances and there's no known way to reproduce it, it's been tricky to figure out. We've been investigating all morning though and will continue to do so. In the meantime, if anyone is in-game on PC and runs into this issue, please stay put and let us know.

Thanks for sending this over! Could you try enabling the in-game Scrolling Combat Text to confirm if you are seeing any blocked damage or not? Just trying to eliminate the possibility of this being an animation issue.

Same here. Appears to be instanced. It's fine and I can block with dodging and bashing in some instances, but others can't block at all in. Been porting between trials, can block fine in SS, DSR, KA, but can't at all in AS, for example. Update: seems to be instance-based. Resetting the instance eventually fixes the issue. So lottery.

Is it against any specific monster in AS or just all over the Trial?

All monsters, but when I ported out, reset the instance, ported back in, I could block again. Hearing similar reports from some other people that they're having to reset the instance until they get lucky and can use block again. So rather than being triggered by dodging or bashing or any particular monster, something about loading into an instance...

Edit: Also if anyone has a video showing the issue, that would be massively helpful. We're getting a lot of mixed messages about what the issue is - if there is any issue - so that would help with our investigating. As of right now, we're not seeing block as being completely broken or in a worse state. Thanks in advance!

The Elder Scrolls Online v8.2.7 contains several important fixes including a fix for block being cleared after dodge rolling or bashing, a fix for the game crashing when utilizing the /encounterlog command, links to player homes once again functioning properly, a fix for several Antiquity Leads that were not dropping, a number of quest fixes, and more. The size of this patch is approximately 146MB.

Hey everyone, thanks for your feedback here. You've brought up some very valid points that we should have initially considered. The style page and associated Arms Pack will be extended until January 18 so you'll have 4 full weeks to obtain it once the style page is properly dropping.

Hey all, thanks for the feedback here. Wanted to give everyone a heads up that in next week's incremental, we will be temporarily disabling target markers on enemy players and their followers in PvP (with the exception of duels). We're working on some improvements for this system in Update 37 as it relates to its use in PvP but wanted to at least make this temporary change in the meantime.

To clarify, will you still be able to mark friendly players in PVP? This was quite useful for keeping groups together and positioned correctly.

I do think you'll find a pretty wide consensus in the PVP community that this was way too powerful for marking enemies. It definitely needs to be removed (not just hidden) by crouch-stealthing (but not removed by abilities like cloak/vamp-run/invisibility potions just suppressed like it is now ...

Hey all, we can confirm this style page is currently bugged and not dropping. We're working on getting this fixed for an upcoming incremental patch.

Thank you.

Can you say if that will make it into the patch for the 5th, or has it already missed that deadline? If so, that would put the next incremental after that on the 19th (assuming standard cadence), which doesn't leave much time for the page to drop unless the drop window is extended.

At this point, there isn't enough time to get the fix into next week's patch so it'll go into the next one currently scheduled for the 19th. To your point, given this would only give everyone a couple days to obtain the item, we will be extending the time for the page to drop - along with the currently-available Arms Pack - until January ...

@ZOS_GinaBruno

I haven't seen tomorrow's maintenance banner change; just to clarify, did today's maintenance render tomorrow's redundant or we are still to expect another five hours downtime tomorrow?

Tomorrow's maintenance requires work on the backend and is separate from today's unscheduled maintenance - there will still be maintenance tomorrow on all servers.

Update: PC EU should be reopening within the next 30 minutes.

For real this time?

For real real. We're wrapping up now and the server should be opening momentarily.

Hi everyone, just letting you know maintenance for the PC EU server should be complete within an hour or so. Too soon for a Monday joke?

Are we there yet? :p

Not quite yet. We need a bit more time - will update with an ETA as soon as we have one.

Hey everyone, just confirming we are continuing to investigate this issue but we did find that a number of accounts did become unlinked unexpectedly. If you are missing crates due to becoming unlinked without your doing, please submit a ticket with Support so they can assist; you can pick "missing item" as the category. Thanks!

We’ll check on this but given the studio is closed until Monday, we may not be able to confirm until then. We’ll circle back as soon as we have more info.
