ESO – Fallen Banners & Base Game Update 45 Now Live on PC/Mac

The developers of MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online have announced that the latest free base game Update 45 and Fallen Banners dungeon pack are now available on Mac and PC. PlayStation and Xbox consoles will receive the update on March 26th.

The Fallen Banners is the latest dungeon pack that consists of two new, challenging PvE experiences for you and your team to explore: Lep Seclusa and Exiled Redoubt. Unlock new achievements and earn new rewards including item sets, collectibles, and more as you fight to preserve what little peace remains in the war-torn region of Cyrodiil.

ESO Plus membership is required to access and play the Fallen Banners dungeon DLC. If your ESO Plus membership lapses, you will lose access to the DLC until you renew your membership or acquire it by other means. There will be additional ways to acquire it in the future.

Arriving in tandem with the dungeon pack is the Update 45 base-game patch, a free update for all ESO players that features additions, bugfixes, and improvements to the game. As a part of developers’ ongoing commitment to keep ESO as modern and welcoming as possible, several zones have received a visual refresh to bring them up to more recent standards. These five updated zones – Bleakrock Isle, Bal Foyen, Stros M’kai, Betnikh, and Khenarthi’s Roost – have all received visual improvements and now benefit from the team’s long experience.

In particular, players will find improvements to their lighting, enhanced ground and water textures, updated structures, and the addition of more clutter or props.

ESO – Update 45 QoL Changes Include:

• Improved Base Mount Speed – Mounts now start out noticeably faster than they did previously, while still ending up around the same final speed for most.
• Craft Champion Point Improvements – If you’ve reached level 50, you’ll notice some changes to the way the Craft constellation works.
• Tamriel Map Cleanup and Messaging – Update 45 also includes an effort from the UI team to make the continent map of Tamriel clearer and more usable. Clutter has been reduced, and zone names now appear on the map as you zoom in.
• Disguise Items Added to Collectibles – Many quests that featured a player disguise now grant that disguise as a permanent collectible among their completion rewards—no inventory space required!
• Mundus Stone Boon Visibility – The power granted by a Mundus Stone is a crucial element of many character builds, so the team has taken steps to better convey its value to new players. Additionally, the Mundus Stone Boon area of these screens now turns red if you reach level 20 without an active Boon to remind you to acquire one.
