The Elder Scrolls Online Prepares to Set Sail for Adventure with High Seas of Tamriel, Its Most Ambitious Experiment in Years

The Elder Scrolls Online is introducing the High Seas of Tamriel event, which focuses on naval combat and underwater exploration as part of its new Season One. This event marks a shift to a seasonal update model, allowing for a dynamic content delivery system that includes a new reward system and various enhancements at no extra cost. The event features instanced content such as naval battles, underwater combat, and scavenger hunts. Players will defend their vessels from boarding enemies rather than controlling ships against other ships, creating a chaotic atmosphere. The event is designed to be accessible for both solo players and groups, with an emphasis on exploration and discovery in the underwater segments. Combat scenarios will also be present underwater, including bosses and unique mechanics. The developers are open to expanding this direction based on player feedback, potentially leading to recurring events or permanent systems in the game. The Elder Scrolls Online is available on multiple platforms, including XBOX Series X|S and PC.

May’s big Rust update adds new, rare workbench upgrades, if you can find them

The latest update for Rust, titled "Upgrade Hard, Raid Harder," introduces mortars to combat rooftop camping and features nine rare workbench upgrades that enhance gameplay. Players can apply these upgrades from the workbench inventory, and they are not mutually exclusive. Mortars function similarly to cannons and require players to gauge distance and angle without a visual guide, with two types of shells available. Tin can alarms have been improved to accommodate various warning signals, and the vending machine interface has been redesigned for easier use. Loot distribution in the Deep Sea area has been adjusted, and drag has increased for boats with flat bows. Third-person grenade-throwing animations have been refined, and the computer station now requires power. New achievements related to the Naval update and Deep Sea zone have been added, and a Discord shop has been launched, offering a 20% discount on DLC. Facepunch is upgrading to Unity 6, which will discontinue support for Windows 8 and require server hosts to upgrade to Windows Server 2019.
