EU server constant rolebacks

I just wonder here, coz I haven read any valid response to that, WHY does the servers have to be OFFLINE during the maintenance, as I found couple of posts on this forum about how it it possible to do so without turning them off?
AND if there is a valid need to take them down, WHY there is no refund to for this time to the ESO Plus palyers?
Just curious....1 -
ad4mss✭✭✭Will the players get a refund for all day server downtime?_______________

Hope it's sorted out soon!

You have to be glad that they went out of their way to inform you as a customer that there is an extended downtime without any reason specified.1 -

Every serious game dev refunds players time they lost cuz of such reasons. ZOS still did not include such thing, dunno why, especially it's not a f2p game._______________

Look at the time it posted.
11:29AM
It is now 12:00 noon.
I know I went to school before the stone age, and we had to shoo the dinosaurs out of the way to get in the cave, but 11:29 a.m. to 12:00 noon used to be 30 minutes. Excuse me, 31 minutes. Before someone points out the discrepancy.Edited by JKorr on October 24, 2016 4:06PM0 -

So then, we should double that ETA, add the first number we thought of and add a random number of hours from some random number generator, and that will be closer to the ETA.........if past experience of ESO downtime teaches us anything at all.
It's called estimated for a reason.
Usually, estimates should at least be more or less in the same ball park. Past ETA's from ZOS have not only NOT been in the same ball park, more often than not they are a different sport altogether.
Your sarcasm aside, from what I have read of this forum so far, there are just too many people who act and post in a way that implies we are not allowed to express both our opinions and our frustration, you being one such.....
Maybe I should add the disclaimer: 'Fanbois need not reply!' to every single one of my posts.
I wasn't intentionally being sarcastic, so I apologise for any offence caused. Opinions are allowed on the forums of course, provided they are constructive. And yes, I am a fan of the series, that's why I'm here playing and supporting the game, I don't understand why that's a problem. Also, estimates are only ideas at that moment in time, they can vary by quite a bit, but also not that much too. I understand your frustration in that you expect the estimates to not vary by much, but unfortunately they do sometimes.UESP Staffer & Wiki Editor0 -

Look better. You'll also find a couple of posts explaining precisely why it is not done this way.

Man, the earth's rotation has *really* slowed down.....
Somehow I could see it was posted here over 1h ago, dunno why. Now I can see it was posted 30 min ago, so my bad._______________

This perticular problem was affecting players online with constant rollbacks and disconnections. In other words - no one could play anyway and was only getting more and more frustrated so the logical thing to do is to take the servers down while investigating.
In general, it depends on what they actually need to change whether it can be done with the servers up or not. Temporary content such as a specific dungeon or nation, can be changed with servers online, as long as no one can enter that area meanwhile. Most of the updates are sever-wide changes, which means they can not be updated while being in use - as they are when servers are online.
It is kinda like trying to change the name of a document when you already have it open.
This is to explain it very easily and short. Add to this that it is millions and millions of codes to go through for this whole game, because it is a MMORPG, which also means that it's not only the base gaming code affecting, its the random servers for the connections as well, that have to communicate well together.“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.” — Winston Curchill0 -

I had an idea: someone should create a graph showing their planned and extended downtimes plotted with the corresponding times.
That way we had a graph which should reflect an incompetence of zos prolonging their downtimes into the prime times.5 -

The downtime is a weekly Thing for ZOS, that means we will get bonuses each week
