Since I have been playing ESO, I havent seen the devs indicate HOW LONG maintenance would last. (eta) (ish).

What good is knowing its going down at 6 am MST (8am EST) if there is no indication on when I should check back and see if its up.....

    It's usually something like four hours. Today it'll probably be longer.

    Bump; this is a great question. Some type of a window would be nice to know; and if its finished early all the better. ZoS please let us know.

    Actually, they normally will tell us a rough estimate of about four hours for a NORMAL maintenance day.

    Seeing as how this is a big patch for everyone, I think it was probably wise.
    Though I do hope they post to let us know if they're starting to wrap things up so we can start getting excited. XD

    Normal maintenance down time is approximately 2 hours.

    Patch & update down time is approximately 4 hours.

    WOW, people go outside and play, turn off your computer for at least 5 minutes, help mom, she pays for your game, just do something productive. TAKE A SHOWER :)

    Actually I PAY for my game..... Mom passed away in 2008 from COPD. And since I JUST STARTED playing this game (and play casually at best) my days off are spent the way I WANT them to be spent. But thanks for the insight you provided :-P

    The shower idea isnt without merit however......

    Agree, a estimate would be sweet

    No, it wouldn't.

    See, when the developers provide estimates, players forget that an estimate isn't a promise. So when the maintenance goes one minute beyond the estimate, the forums blow up with players demanding a refund, threatening to blow up national monuments, etc. Not providing an ETA is probably the smartest thing the developers can do on any maintenance day.

    Agreed, when swtor did patches they provided an estimate, which was of course never accurate, and the first thing people said on those forums was either "Patch took much longer than you said, what are you incompetent or something" or "patch was quicker than you said, I could have been playing an hour ago, what are you incompetent or something".

    So nobody in their right mind would give an estimate.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!
