Online:Patch/1.3.0

Released on July 08 2014.

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls Online v1.3.0, our third major content update. In this update, we've added armor dye stations where you can change the color of your armor with dyes you unlock through achievements. We've also added and improved many guild features including the addition of guild heraldry, guild traders, and improved guild management.

Another exciting change is the updates to our campaigns in Cyrodiil. We've implemented new campaign options, each with their own rule set. We'd love to get your feedback on these new options.

Alongside these new features, you'll find many fixes to quests, combat, art, and audio. We're also continuing to work on the overall class balance, but are doing so carefully so as not to impact your build too much.

We're looking forward to your feedback with all the new features and updates, and can't wait to see what you think. Enjoy the rest of the update!

Big Changes / Updates / New Features

Armor Dyes

• Armor dyes have now been added to the game! You can visit a dye station and interact with it to dye any piece of armor that you own.
  • Dye stations can be found in at least one town in every normal overworld zone. There are new map markers add for these dye station locations
• Every piece of gear has up to three separate areas that can be dyed individually, and you have tools available to do so.
  • Color Sets: You can use the special dye tools to create and apply custom color sets.
  • Eye Dropper Tool: You can use the eye dropper tool to pick colors from previously dyed gear, and apply that color elsewhere.
  • Paint Bucket Tool: This tool applies the dye you've selected to the corresponding color area of every piece of gear you have equipped.
• At a dye station, you can see every color available. Dyes you haven't obtained yet are displayed with a lock icon. Hover over any locked color to see which achievement is associated with it. You can right-click on it to jump to the achievement panel and read the achievement's completion criteria.
• When a dye is unlocked, it will be available for all characters on your account.

New and Improved Guild Features

• Improved Guild Management
  • Guild leaders can now create, delete, and reorder the guild ranks.
    • Hold left-click and drag to arrange the guild ranks. This can be done in the list itself.
  • Guild leaders can also assign unique icons for each rank.
  • Guilds can have 10 ranks, including the Guildmaster rank.
  • Each guild rank has its own set of permissions. When creating a new guild rank, you can clone the permissions of a previously existing one.
• Guild Heraldry
  • This feature unlocks once a guild has reached 10 members.
  • Guild leaders can design a heraldry that will appear on equippable tabards. Customization of your heraldry costs a fee in gold that is automatically deducted from your guild's bank. To modify the guild's heraldry, guild leaders can click the heraldry tab on the Guild window (displayed before the history tab).
  • There are over 250 colors, 63 backgrounds, and 136 crests available for creating a heraldry.
  • Once a heraldry has been designed, any guild member can purchase a tabard by visiting the Guild's Store and searching for items of type 'Guild Items'.
  • If a guild leader changes the tabard, all tabards update in real-time.
• Guild Traders
  • Guilds can now hire merchants from The Gold Coast Trading Company in locations across Tamriel to serve as public outlets for their guild stores.
  • Guilds will participate in a blind bid that lasts one week to win the traders' services for one full week. You can only bid on one trader at a time, and the highest bidder will be the winner.
  • Guilds can also hire a trader for a flat fee, as long as the trader is currently un-hired.
    • You can hire the trader during a bidding cycle, though you'd only be hiring him for the remaining time that's left on the bidding cycle.
    • This hire lasts up to a week, until the end of the current bidding cycle, and is first come first served.
  • A hired trader will display the guild store of the hiring guild to all channels, including Veteran versions of the zone.
  • Guild traders can mainly be found in zone capitals, though a few can be seen selling wares throughout various overworld zones.
• Guild Bank Gold
  • This feature unlocks once a guild has reached 10 members.
  • Anyone in a guild can deposit and withdraw gold into the guild bank.
    • Note that withdrawal permissions are on a guild rank basis.
  • Some systems (Heraldry/Guild Traders) can directly deposit or withdraw from the Guild Bank.

Alliance War Campaign Updates

• All Campaigns that were running up until this patch have been closed, and 5 new Campaigns are opening up:
  • Bow of Shadows: 5 day Veteran Rank only Campaign
  • Blackwater Blade: 5 day Non-Veteran only Campaign
  • Haderus: 7 day standard Campaign that anyone can join
  • Chillrend: 7 day standard Campaign that anyone can join
  • Thornblade: 30 day standard Campaign that anyone can join
• If you were assigned to any Campaign prior to Patch 1.3.0, you will be given a free Home Campaign assignment on each character previously assigned to a Campaign.
• Once Patch 1.3.0 is deployed, you will be rewarded according to the placement of your Alliance within your Home Campaign.
• Switching Campaigns (Home or Guest) will now have a 3 day lockout timer associated with it.

Instant Weapon Swap

• We've made changes to the way we cache textures for your alternate weapon that will allow you to swap weapons reliably and instantly. The previous delay when swapping has been reduced significantly, so swapping to your second ability set will be seamless and fast, making combat feel more responsive.

Color Correction

• Brightness, contrast, and color curves throughout the game are now adjusted via post-processing. In some locations, the effect will be subtle, but it will be more noticeable in others. We've done this to improve the visual quality of the game by increasing contrast in scenes, balancing overall color values, and reducing the influence of yellow in the sunlight and interior lighting. You'll notice more color depth and a more realistic look in the world. We don't anticipate these changes having any effect on performance, since we were already making a post-processing pass, but you can disable color correction by setting the COLOR_CORRECTION value in your UserSettings file to "0." Check out these screenshots showing the new color correction versus the old version:

Armor Colors and Tints Adjusted

• To prepare for our dye system, we've re-evaluated the color palette we use for armor and have made some adjustments to how colors display on gear throughout the game. This gives us more flexibility to add new armor sets and crafting materials, provides some more saturated colors, and will make upgrades consistently look more significant. The upgrade may alter the original colors on armor you already own, but you'll be able to choose your own color schemes with the dye system should you dislike the changes.

Difficult Mode

• We added a new and optional difficulty mode for the final fight in Aetherian Archive and Hel Ra Citadel. Look for clues near each Celestial to find out how to trigger this new mode. When you complete the difficult version of a Trial, you will be rewarded with a piece of armor from an upgraded version of the Mage, Serpent, or Warrior Item Sets which contain better stats and visuals. The colors in this set are exclusive to this armor, and cannot be duplicated with dyes.

Delves Updates in Coldharbour

• The delves found in Coldharbour are now larger, and contain more monsters and loot. This is an ongoing effort to make all delves in the game larger.
