New Features & Updates
Waking Flame DLC
- Two New Dungeons, Red Petal Bastion and The Dread Cellar
- New Item Sets, Collectibles, Outfit Styles & Dyes, Furnishings, Achievements and Titles
Base Game
- PvP Campaign changes, where existing No-Champion Point Cyrodiil and Imperial City campaigns will now also prohibit proc sets from firing. ZOS has expanded the number of sets from the original grouping that worked during the initial test several months ago.
- Rewards for the Worthy added three new item sets that can be acquired
- Multithreaded Rendering is an optional performance optimization available in the video settings panel as beta. This option enables a separate thread for the render process which can improve performance and provide a smoother overall experience if the limiting factor on a player's device is CPU processing, rather than GPU processing.
- Interaction Priority Changes. This was a long awaited change in which ZOS added new rules for determining which things a player will interact with when there's a potential conflict. Interactable objects that are valuable to a player, like resource nodes and lootable corpses, will have priority over things that were mobile or player-made, such as Companions and Mementos. Same goes for doors, Dye Stations, and other permanently available interactable objects, such as Jubilee Cakes or Sorcerer pets
- ZOS finally added a Mail Reply option to received mails, which would open a new mail with the subject line and a player name prepopulated.
- New Collectibles
- New Furnishings
- Tutorial Portal Videos, in which the cutscenes tease the main quest of the area a player is going to, and features voiceovers from characters integral to the zone and its main questline
