Released on May 4 2020. (forum post)

The Elder Scrolls Online v6.0.2 introduces the Summerset Celebration for testing this week, in addition to fixes and adjustments to Kyne’s Aegis, the Antiquities system, and item sets. We’ve also made several fixes that should aid in performance and overall stability. This patch includes a character copy of all PC EU characters, and is approximately 458MB in size.

New Features / Updates / Big ChangesEdit

Summerset Celebration EventEdit

Return to the Summerset Isles this week on the PTS! Earn bonus rewards by completing daily quests in Summerset, exploring the zone, or battling powerful monsters.

  • Each daily quest you complete in Summerset, as well as completing the weekly Cloudrest quest, earns you a Summerset Coffer which contains crafting materials, style items, overland set pieces, flavored salable items, and chances at valuable Summerset motif and outfit style pages!
    • In addition, the very first of these quests that you complete each day (per account) instead awards a Glorious Summerset Coffer (which is even more bountiful than the normal coffer), along with 3 Event Tickets.
  • Continuing to explore Summerset after your daily quests are done is encouraged! Additional non-Glorious Summerset Coffers have a good chance to drop from Delve Bosses, World Bosses, and Geysers; a lesser chance to drop from Safeboxes, Thieves Troves, Treasure Chests, and Psijic Portals (but only the ones in Summerset) and a tiny chance to drop from crafting nodes, regular monsters, or random lootable containers such as barrels, crates, and sacks.
  • All coffers have a chance to drop a style page for this event’s new outfit style, the Snowhawk Mage.
  • Furthermore, the Cloudrest weekly quest grants two of its normal reward boxes instead of one, and defeating the Trial in hard-mode grants you two Crests of the Welkynar instead of one.
  • If that wasn’t enough, during the celebration all Summerset resource nodes, creature crafting drop, daily quest reward boxes, and Psijic portal loot are doubled, and World/Delve bosses give you two draws from their usual loot tables!

New MotifEdit

Pyre Watch Motif chapters, as well as the associated style item Consecrated Myrrh, are now available to test and will occasionally drop from bosses in the Unhallowed Grave dungeon.

Template UpdatesEdit

  • Corrected errors in the tooltips for the containers for the sets found in Kyne’s Aegis.
  • Adjusted the traits on items in several PTS template set containers to be consistent with similar containers.
  • Removed mercenary contracts from the Endless Sack of Siege container.
  • Fixed an issue where the “Master Weapons, Perfected” container contained non-perfected weapons.

SummersetEdit

Quests & Zones

General

  • Slaughterfish in Evergloam no longer allow revival outside of a Wayshrine or graveyard.

Combat & GameplayEdit

Combat & AbilitiesEdit

Nightblade

  • Shadow
    • Veiled Strike: This ability and its morphs now stun and set targets Off Balance when used from the flank of an enemy, rather than when you are stealthed or invisible. This change was done to offset the loss of the ability to activate this portion of the attack with the recent fixes to Heavy Attacks properly breaking invisibility.

Guild

  • Psijic Order
    • Acceleration
      • Channeled Acceleration (morph): Fixed an issue with the timing of the visual effects of this ability when used with a Two Handed weapon.

World

  • Werewolf
    • Werewolf Transformation: Fixed an issue where other players in Werewolf form could appear to use emotes while opening menus.
      • Pack Leader (morph): Fixed an issue where the Minor Courage from this morph did not appear on your character sheet, and could sometimes stack with other sources.

Itemization & Item SetsEdit

Item sets

  • Bloodlord’s Embrace: This set now grants 1535 Magicka when it procs, up from 685. This will allow the set to be much stronger for targets who do not block frequently, while still ensuring it grants a sizable return for those who block off the 250ms cost cooldown.
  • Malacath’s Band of Brutality: This set no longer allows Arterial Burst to Critically Strike.
  • Merciless Charge: This set now continuously activates from Stampede through bar swap.
  • Spectral Cloak: This set now persists its refresh capabilities while bar swapping. Due to the large amount of effective power this allows you to keep up potentially indefinitely, we will closely monitor how this effects the total power engagement and will address it accordingly.
  • Sthun’s Favor: This set now grants 5312 Physical and Spell Penetration for 10 seconds when you damage an Off Balance enemy, rather than passively granting 11,130 of each versus Off Balance targets. This allows the set to be reined in much tighter in power by not being bound to the Off Balance cooldown since it can refresh at any time you meet the conditions, similarly to Armor of Truth.
  • Thrassian Stranglers:
    • This set now decreases your healing taken and effectiveness of damage shields by 2% per stack as well to increase the risk of constantly staying at high stacks.
      • Please note the set still has the opt-out mechanic of activating crouch or invisibility to immediately remove your stacks to remove these dangerous debuffs in a moment where your character might otherwise die.
    • Added additional layers of security to this set to prevent gaining additional bonuses if you somehow bypassed the 20 stack cap.
  • Vrol’s Command and Perfected Vrol’s Command: These sets now affect up to 12 targets, up from 6.
  • Winter’s Respite: This set now properly functions with Necromancer tethers.
  • Zaan’s: Fixed an issue if this set procced Burning, the damage increase would also apply to the status effect.

Base GameEdit

Alliance War & PvPEdit

General

  • The Battlespirit tooltip now correctly states you have 60% healing reduction instead of 50% while in Imperial City.
  • Volendrung's protective Shield will now properly fade away in all cases when it should.

MiscellaneousEdit

General

  • Fixed a crash that could occur when logging out after getting in game, selecting ‘Back’ at Character Select, or clicking ‘X’ on the client window to close the game.

    • Fixed an issue with visual effects on non-combat pets sometimes not appearing when another player would come into view.
    • Fixed a crash that could occur when a non-combat pet was put away.
    • Fixed a memory leak that could occur if you logged out while other players were putting away pets.
