At E3 2019, a big new update for the mobile MMO The Elder Scrolls Blades was announced. The patch is already online and fans love it.
What’s in the patch? The Elder Scrolls Blades, Bethesda’s mobile MMO with great graphics, received its first major update at E3 2019. In it, you get among other things:
- A new questline featuring a dragon that wreaks havoc
- New jewelry
- Solo arena battles
- New jobs
- Leveling up beyond level 50 to level 100 (However, you won’t receive any attributes or skill points after level 50).
Additionally, there were a number of bug fixes and minor adjustments.
„Finally a studio that listens to feedback“
This is how the changes are received by fans: Usually, after updates, there is a lot of complaining in the community of any game. And especially The Elder Scrolls Blades had some dissatisfied players who were unhappy with the rocky launch of the game and some design decisions.
However, the new update seems to reconcile many players on Reddit and address issues that had been problematic:
- Okay, it looks like you fixed everything that was wrong with the game… and then some! Damn good job, Bethesda! I was already surprised by what you packed into a mobile game and now I’m even more surprised at how you’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in mobile games.”
- Such a huge update! Thank you, Bethesda!”
- “Wow, this is the first time a studio resolves its problems as suggested in the feedback!”
- “Finally, there’s action with dragons!”
What isn’t going over so well? In fact, most players are overall happy with the update. But one thing seems to be causing issues. Those wanting to enter the “Abyss” to acquire fat loot are likely to experience many game crashes.
And this, despite the Abyss having received some bug fixes and allowing for fewer exploits. It seems that something got accidentally broken in the patch.
- “The Abyss crashes more often than I can play it!”
- “Almost every time I enter the Abyss, the game crashes!”
- “Hopefully, a follow-up update will come soon”
Still, players are not letting the joy be taken away from them and are optimistic that Bethesda will close this gap soon as well.
