Devs confirmed research is still working, so downtime isn't negatively effecting research!
What if your research was scheduled to be done hours ago and now i cant research anything new?!?! thats pretty negative to research to me!
I understand where you are coming from, and yeah it sucks not being able to play when we got early access, but instead of complaining on the forums why don't you find other things to do while you wait? I was playing some Goat Simulator and FFX HD, but suddenly DD happened and I've become a little more preoccupied =P
All i'm saying is ESO will be back up eventually and nobody is holding a gun to your head saying you have to play, so just relax, enjoy something else, and wait for it to come back up

Shiva✭As a LONG time gamer and vet of MANY MMO's I must say this is all MY fault...
Every time I take a day off of work to be able to maximize my early access the damn servers go down... Seriously.
As for NOT buying for Early Access - hogwash. Seriously. But for not expecting there to be down time... I must say that those who are surprised by it are really, really short sighted and completely inexperienced in gaming and software development in general.
Am I annoyed? Yes. Am I angry? No. After all I wanted 5 days early access but was still on the fence due to the subscription. Once my friends pounded me down I went for the pre-purchase so I could catch up AND get my Elder Scrolls fix in an MMO. I never pre-order for the bonuses - I always pre-order for:- Early Access
- My Best Buy Gamer's Club and Elite discounts
- To be on the servers and out of the starter areas before the mass onslaught
So I am just trying to hang out, avoid doing work or school work since I am supposed to be off (I will probably take tomorrow off too to make up for today) but I will most likely try to get jump on studying since if I do that I will have more time to play when the servers are online.
And 12 to 14 hours down is not a big deal or out of the realm of anticipated problems. When WoW Vanilla went down for 2 days (effectively) they did give folks extra time added to their subs, but honestly its not needed or expected since the 30 days has not started.
For me at least, its no big deal as I know what is happening with me and this game. Something I did NOT anticipate. I am hooked. As hooked as I was with Everquest, DAOC, Vanilla WOW through to WOLK - this is a game that gets measured in YEARS of play for me. Not minutes, hours or weeks. The last game that sucked me in this hard was The Secret World - and I burned over 300 hours in it and have a life-time sub (just means I get free content not that its B2P). I am a Skyrim junkie with over 300 hours EACH in PC and Xbox 360 versions. (I'm an RPG/Shooter/Adventure game junky anyway). For me the journey of leveling IS the game. End game is a place holder for me waiting for more content to become available. I will at least 3 characters - one for each alliance - within a month and all of them will be midland at best in terms of levels. A couple of years from now and I will have 8 characters, 1/2 will be max level.
I savor games and enjoy them to their fullest. I READ all the books and lore. I try everything there is and in that way I ensure I get my money's worth. So 14 hours of downtime is NOTHING when you look at the long view.
Just wish I hadn't taken the day off... sorry folks I tainted the NA servers with my early access curse...

We have enlisted the Mages Guild to help teach the Elemental Guardians English. These things take time, but they're fast learners.
(This will be fixed in the next content patch.)
you say NEXT content patch, curious when was the last one? how often are they? just wondering if we wont see english dialogue for a week or 3 months?0 -

So what your saying is. We should be friends because we will most likely pour most of our time and energy into this awesome game? ^_^(When were not working of course lol!)+So the night will fall and morning will rise once again.+1 -
