    Dont normally hate on ZOS but good lord this is becoming a thing.

    Fix the game! no more silly events or dlc until the game is actually playable have some balls devs!

    Who runs this *** show? Firor? needs a p45 man!

    I have to agree. I'm a huge fan of their games, but ZoS needs to put the DLCs in the back burner and focus on all the major issues currently breaking the game and their servers. This is coming from a developer who's worked on major MMO titles. They also need to switch to rolling patches.. I mean, it is 2016.

    Dear ZoS, I understand that this is your first MMO release, so keep at it ZoS developers. These current issues look like a work flow issue with a hint of corporate pushing deadlines. Things aren't being tested/maintained properly. Just my two cents.

    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?

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



    Can you post me a link then?

    Nope, sorry. Doing your own research is always fruitful.
    I'll give you the bottom line though : it's because it would cost too much money. Either the game/subscription would be far more expensive, or the game would not exist at all because its business model would not be sustainable.

    You have a PTS server that doesnt give realistic results.....so they have to 'test on live'
    You have primary servers with massive dowtime while the PTS servers sit redundant.

    Repurpose the PTS as a standby server and they can improve their uptime remove their downtime and actually test properly.

    So in one hour, the server will be ok ?

    I'm sure having the game offline is not in Zenimax interest.

    Every online game have "Terms and conditions" along with "Code of conduct".

    Both you have to accept to even be able to play the game. In these documents you agree that ZOS is not in any way liable for loss of playtime in situations like this and so on.

    In other words - when you whine and want compensation, you are "violating" what you have already agreed to accept :smiley:

    Everyone knows there are maintenance mostly every Monday, occasionally even Tuesdays. Simple solution - do not play Mondays! Stress avoided :)

    Everyone also knows that within the next 2-3 weeks from a major update, there are bugs and problems to be expected, as not everything can be tested on the public test servers, especially when not even nearly enough people play on it!

    Just relax, watch a video or two, and the game will be back again eventually :)

    Everyone knows? Well in past ZOS gave us such impression but I don't think everyone do accept it or should accept it as normal thing. I'm pretty sure some players are expecting that ZOS will improve their service quality regarding maintenance, but sadly ZOS has shown no such clues until now. As for Terms and conditions, yes I know that, even though I didn't read it I know such things always exist as long as you are doing business with a big company. But that only exempt ZOS from legal issues, not from loss of credibility or from criticizes. By the way, I in fact find a pretty unique things here at ESO community: that we customers are often asked to understand ZOS the company, but not the other way around.

    LoL.
    PTS is ONE server.
    PC-NA and PC-EU are TWO separate servers. It's technically impossible to :
    1/ merge the databases onto one server
    2/ PTS cannot support the strain of TWO megaservers. (That's why there are TWO megaservers in the first place).

    Well last I checked, I was paying ZOS for the game, and not ZOS paying me to test the game. If they want an improved Quality, they should test their Content before release i.e. the EU-Server Login issue. So if you want to look good for ZOS, just don't call ppl idiots!

    I had a post where people could choose to have less DLCs and better service on already existing content, keep the promise of 4 DLCs per year, or even extend it.

    Sadly the majority wanted to keep 4 DLCs or even extend it, completely aware that this will always be on the expense of service of already in-game content :confused:

    As a company, it is importand for them to keep new content coming, but I also believe it is importand to balance it with proper service of the already in-game content, to keep the game as stable and reliable as possible.

    I do believe that 3 DLCs or even 2 DLCs per year and more bug fixes and balancing between, would be much better, but that's just my opinion.

    Why do you call them "idiots" ? People are free to use the PTS as they see fit, and I don't see why it should be so "selfless". After all, I don't have to be ZOS' QA for free. I don't mind providing feedback and bug reports on PTS but the primary reason I use PTS is not to "help", it's to see new features ahead of time, or redo some quest lines without having to reroll on live.

    Why don't they just rollback the faulty patch, test it more and include it in the scheduled maintenance for next week? why try to write a fix on the fly and hope all is well? just rollback to the previous stable version and do more testing.

    Hi folks, we ran into a bump that's going to extend the maintenance time a bit. Current ETA is around 1:30 ET.

    Not everyone goes by Eastern Time. Did you conveniently forget the folks in Europe are actually in a different time zone? I know you guys like to think there is no universe outside of USA and all, but please, have some bloody respect for your EUROPEAN customers!

    Just so folks know, ETA will be 18:30 GMT.

    I'm in BST, and to be fair it's not hard to google "1:30 edt in bst", which then yields what time it would be in my timezone. Same goes for GMT

    I know, but it just smacked of yet more proof that ZOS do not give a rats behind about its European customers. So sick of everything being Americanised. You know, everything going the way of the dumbest country on Planet Earth.

    This so-called "dumbest country on Planet Earth" is where the game was made and the company running it is based. ZOS is using the time zone they're in, not because they're trying to stick it to the EU players, but because of convenience. Remember that not all Americans actually have the same time zone either. Just google a time zone converter if it bothers you that much.

    If you look past the salt and rage he does have a point.

    Whenever a game that is based in america goes down for maintenance its usually during core euro playing hours and many players see that as the techs and developers and publishers just not giving a rats ass about them which too be fair considering this happens a lot is a fair assumption to make.

    This though is a bit weird when they have two separate mega servers to bring down separately which they have done in the past.

    Unless something Idk has happened.

    The day will come when their crappy programming backfires at Zos and causes problems overhelming them. We'd be looking at a few days maintenance in such scenario.

    I personally believe they are already in this situation. Each time they patch they introduce issues that require firefighting and another patch that very week. Of course, all change has the potential to cause issues, but the extent and frequency of it here, and the length of each outage, seems really high for a game that ought to be pretty mature by now and I see it as a signal that it's all a bit overwhelming and seat of the pants.

    Love the game itself, but the support elements are very poor IMO.

    I have to agree here especially since DB patch the fix to issue ratio is slowly but surely getting way out of balance, this big 'snowball' of constant issues caused by previous 'fixes' for issues caused by the previous 'fix' is most evidently catching up to ZoS.
    They need to STOP 'digging this hole', they need to stop pushing out new content new implementations, and concentrate on fixing or eventually it will bury them, they will never catch up.

    Last patch with T1, i don't see any new content. Only gear and more broken mechanics. They basically gave uS 3 month of grind with new sets and nothing new to do. People have already cleared every possible content of the game and the new sets maybe made it 2-5% easier but that's about it.
    THERE WAS NO NEW CONTENT IN T1
