"When we UNDERSTAND the events that occur to us, the events become history. History is understanding. Otherwise we're all just dumb animals trying to get in out of the cold."

Hi all, Atvelonis here. I can't help but fear for my country's future this election day. I only hope that whoever the winner is, they don't slap us with another SOPA/PIPA a few months down the line. Anyway, let's get to the update!

TES news

 * Bethesda has released an optional beta version of the Special Edition of, which is available on Steam right now (follow the directions here to download it). It fixes the following issues:
 * General performance and optimization improvements
 * Fixed rare issue with NPCs not appearing in proper locations
 * Fixed issue with saves erroneously being marked as Moddded, even though no mods are active
 * Updated some sound files to not use compression
 * Note that this only fixes some sound files. I haven't tested which ones are still compressed, but hopefully all of the sound files will be uncompressed in a future update.


 * On Monday, November 7th,, the second DLC for , will be celebrating its first anniversary. ZeniMax announced that the following would be available during the event:
 * Double the items received from crafting nodes in Wrothgar (This only applies to normal crafting nodes, not nodes spawned from Survey Reports.)
 * Double rewards received from the chests in Maelstrom Arena for both Normal and Veteran difficulty levels
 * Double the number of reward boxes received by completing a daily delve or World Boss quest
 * The return of the original Orsinium Collector's Bundle to the Crown Store at a substantial discount, featuring:
 * The Orsinium DLC Game pack
 * The Cave Bear mount
 * The Cave Bear Cub pet
 * Five Crown Experience Scrolls
 * 75% off Crown Store purchases of the Orsinium DLC Game Pack
 * This means that the DLC will cost only 750 Crowns (equivalent to $7.99). If you'd like to try out the DLC, this would be a very good time to get it for a reasonable price! I'm probably going to get it myself, as the DLCs for ESO don't go on sale too often. The event will end on November 21st, so don't feel rushed to get it on the first day.


 * This happened a couple weeks ago, but I didn't see it until now. Bethesda employee Pete Hines stated on Twitter that The Elder Scrolls VI was not currently in any stage of development. This is a little disappointing, but I suppose they'll get to it sooner or later.

Wiki news

 * The Consensus Track thread I created regarding NPC image sizes has come to a close. In the future, you will be allowed to upload NPC images at any size higher than 432x720 pixels, as long as it is in a 3:5 ratio. For example, 540x900, 600x1000, 648x1080, 864x1440, 1296x2160, and so on.


 * I'm going to have to remind certain users that edit warring is prohibited, and as such may result in a block. I don't have the time to settle every editing dispute myself, so it would be intelligent to figure something reasonable out independently; only contact a staff member if absolutely necessary.

Moot
Somehow, there wasn't anything to talk about during the moot this month. At least, nobody had anything to present. The next moot will be held in the Chat on Saturday, December 3rd at 4:00pm EST. Be there or be square.

That's about all I have for this week, folks. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend, and as always, happy editing! ―Atvelonis (talk) 00:06, November 6, 2016 (UTC)
