Online:Patch/3.0.1

Released on April 24 2017.

The Elder Scrolls Online v3.0.1 is the first incremental patch on the PTS. In this patch, we've enabled the remaining two game types in Battlegrounds: Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch. In addition, we've also activated some Medals that you can receive by participating in Battlegrounds. This is a work in progress, and not all Medals have been added yet.

We've made several fixes to content found in the Morrowind Chapter, including things surrounding Vvardenfell quests, Battlegrounds, new furnishings, and Halls of Fabrication. We've also made several fixes and tweaks to the Warden class.

In the base game, you'll find that we've focused mainly on bug fixes for this patch, though there are a few tweaks to class abilities. We do have some further tweaks and adjustments planned for future PTS patches, and we'll also continue to monitor all your feedback.

The size of this incremental patch is approximately 430MB.

New Features / Updates / Big ChangesEdit

Battlegrounds Updates

• Capture the Flag and Team Deathmatch game modes are now active in Battlegrounds!
  • Capture the Flag mode is a more structured attack-and-defend styled game type that will be most enjoyed by those who thrive as part of a team. Capture your enemies' flags and return them to your base while carefully defending your own.
  • Team Deathmatch is perfect for those who don't want to worry too much about mundane things like "objectives" or "teamwork." Find and destroy enemy player characters with each kill granting your team points.
• Medals are now active in all Battlegrounds.
  • The goal of Medals is to reinforce the activity of the game mode you're currently playing. In a Domination match, you'll get Medals that encourage capturing and holding the flags on the map along with standing your ground, whereas in Deathmatch games you'll earn Medals purely on your combat prowess.
  • Medals are awarded on a per-action basis per Battleground type, and are currently exclusive to those game types. This means you can earn Double Kill Medals in Deathmatch games, but not Capture the Flag games.
  • These Medals contribute to your Leaderboard score on Flag Games, Deathmatch or Land Grab Leaderboards.
  • Currently, all players on the Leaderboards will be rewarded at the end of the week for testing purposes. This will be changed to be a percentage of the top 100 players in future PTS cycles.
  • The number of Medals you earn affect whether you earn a green, blue or purple reward at the end of matches.
  • Currently, these thresholds are 5 Medals for a blue upgrade and 15 Medals for a purple upgrade.
  • Medals also contribute to the amount of Gold, AP and XP you earn per Battleground.
  • Important note: Not all Medals are complete and there is currently some disparity between the amounts of Medals you can earn in Deathmatch vs. Capture the Flag vs. Domination matches at the moment. This will be addressed in a future PTS patch.

Housing

Furnishings

• Achievement Furnishers may fail to display their goods under certain circumstances. This will be fixed in the next PTS patch.

Morrowind Fixes & ImprovementsEdit

Alliance War & PVPEdit

Battlegrounds

• A basic amount of Experience, dependent on your level, is now granted when completing a Battleground.
• Assistants, vanity pets and Mementos can no longer be summoned while in Battlegrounds.
• Various changes have been made to the queuing process to aid in match-making. This includes a potential fix for the issue where only the group leader would be ported to the map, and the issue with groupmates being split after joining a Battleground.

Art & AnimationEdit

General

• Fixed various graphic and animation-related issues.
• Neria Lerano is now, thankfully, wearing pants.
• Fixed an issue where collectible emotes would remove you from first person view.
• Fixed an issue where apples would clip through Taluri Salen's hands. Ouch!

Combat & GameplayEdit

Warden

• Animal Companions
  • Savage Beast: This passive ability now generates Ultimate when you cast an Animal Companion ability, instead of when you deal damage with an Animal Companion ability.
    • Developer Comments: This change will make generating Ultimate from this passive more reliable for Wardens, as it can now proc off non-damaging Animal Companion abilities such as Betty Netch and Falcon's Swiftness.
• Green Balance
  • Accelerated Growth: This passive ability now grants you Major Mending when you heal an ally who is below 40% Health, reduced from 50%, and the duration of Major Mending has been reduced to 1.5/3 seconds, down from 3/6 seconds.
    • Developer Comments: With the universal goal of reducing Major Mending uptime for all classes, we've made it slightly more difficult for Wardens to obtain this buff category and also reduced its overall duration.
  • Maturation: Reduced the duration of the Minor Toughness buff applied by this passive ability to 5/10 seconds, down from 10/20 seconds.
    • Developer Comments: The duration reduction for this passive is meant to be paired in tandem with a change to its functionality, which is coming in the next PTS patch. Maturation will be changed to proc off any healing ability the Warden uses, rather than only Green Balance abilities, due to Wardens lacking a large amount of "global" passives (a passive that doesn't require or modify abilities from its skill tree).
• Winter's Embrace
  • Sleet Storm: Your camera will no longer tilt when casting this Ultimate.

Monsters & World Bosses

• Kimbrudhil the Songbird
  • It is no longer possible to avoid Songbird's Embrace, or break out of it, without using its synergy or allowing it to expire.
  • Songbird's Embrace now immediately lifts affected player characters into the air.

    • Developer Comments: Increasing the duration of this passive's bonuses will improve the overall survivability of Nightblades.

Item Sets

• Tremorscale: Reduced the duration of the snare applied by this Item Set to 4 seconds from 8 seconds.
  • Developer Comments: Reducing the duration of the snare from this Item Set to match its cooldown means it will be more difficult to maintain 100% uptime on any given target and gives that target more counterplay to avoiding being locked down by it.
