The Elder Scrolls Online remains restless even on Day Two after the content patch. While a hotfix has been applied to address the memory leak, it does not solve all issues. Moreover, some players have been affected by a ban wave. With a generous dungeon, the new maximum level, Veteran Rank 12, has already been reached within a few hours.
Last night, a hotfix of 50 MB was implemented to solve the memory leak and the infinite loading screen problem. Additionally, the overly strong mobs in the veteran zones have been toned down to their pre-patch state. However, this only takes effect once they have been defeated and respawned. Currently, Zenimax is working on a solution for the 301 issue, which has disrupted some users’ weekends. We have already reported on the issues with the first content patch here.
Ban wave due to full mailbox?
In the English forum reddit, numerous players are complaining about an unjustified ban wave. This issue has occurred several times in the past. Individual players have already been unbanned with the apology that there was an error. Details are still not known at this time, and complaints about unreachable support are once again increasing.
The communication in this regard leaves much to be desired, according to the sentiment in the English forum. Without more detailed information, wild speculation ensues: some indirectly blame a mail addon for overflowing the mailbox and thereby causing concern for the devs. Others suspect that Zenimax is looking at players with excessively high gold earnings, and some think that Zenimax might even punish the Kaldara exploit.
Go to Kaldara, they said…
Some players are bypassing the lengthy quests in the new zone Kargstein by farming the instances. In the ruins of Kaldara, a boss gives about 1% of the required veteran points for the next veteran level. The bosses are not a significant problem, according to users on reddit, and can be summoned multiple times per run. Doubts are arising on reddit regarding whether the very high exp gain in the dungeon is intended by Zenimax. A nerf or a corresponding statement is anticipated.
There’s exp to be had, they said…
Quote from reddit user (translated from English): One might see this as a bug because a boss gives 34,000 veteran points. Perhaps this is not intended. Maybe it’s not intended that one can summon a boss multiple times (sometimes 5-10 times) per run, depending on drop luck. (Certain mobs drop an item that allows you to summon and kill the bosses, averaging around 5 times in succession).
Since there is no lock-out for the dungeons like in other games, the impact of such a lucrative dungeon is enormous, as it can be farmed as often as possible. Since power gamers fear that Zenimax will address this soon, they are now fully exploiting this perceived balance gap.
According to another reddit user, it is currently possible in Kaldara to go from Veteran Rank 10 to 12 in 7 to 15 hours.
