Maintenance on a weekend?

clapp clapp after 14 hours

wonder if they will extend the orsinium event

Meh, it is what it is. I'd love a scroll that gives 16 hrs of double exp to make up for lost time but I don't see that either. Just take our losses and move on.

I love how the moment the maintainance is [FINALLY] complete, they issue another maintainance banner literally straight away warning us of another inconveniently timed moment of downtime. 3pm? Really??

Understand your frustration for sure; we try to avoid having maintenance on the weekend at all costs. We were already prepping the PC build for Monday's maintenance, but due to how patches are prepared, we needed to publish 2.6.9 during today's downtime. It's a complicated process, but the good thing is we won't need downtime for maintenance on Monday at least.

@ZOS_GinaBruno - I think it would have been a great help if you'd explained the problem this way to begin with. I understand game forum communities are always a little unforgiving but I think there's a lot of people who just want to understand why they can't play.

Couldn't you guys just put the reason in the official announcement rather than on page six of an unofficial thread towards the end of the maint window?

yo @ZOS_GinaBruno
the hotfix!
what was it for?!

There was no hotfix. I'm sure. But of course they can not admit that. And no, Xbox players get no compensation.

You could have gone to the patch notes and seen them.

Those patch notes were for PC not consoles and as far as i know ZOS has yet to say what they had to hotfix on the consoles.

This why online gaming is crap stupid updates and patches that comes with glitches all because the lazy programmers won't do there job.

GIVE US ELDER SCROLLS 6 THAT IS WHAT THE FANS WANT NOT SOME OVER PRICED RUBBISH ONLINE GAME THAT NEED MAINTANCE ONCE A WEEK

Anyway the update stands, they started doing work, Xbox had an issue, and they can't wrap up their update till MS resolves their problem. It's not holding at Zos end, and the updates are what Microsoft can give which right now are minimal.

I appreciate it's out of Zos' hands and it's not their fault but what on earth compelled them to do maintainance on a Saturday of all days AND the same day Microsoft roll out a pretty huge update themselves?? Why skip their usual Tuesday slot and perform it on the busiest day of the week? It's not their fault, yes but they should still be held accountable for such a lousy decision

Emergency maintenance must be done immediately. That's why it's called emergency maintenance. The issue obviously didn't exist on Tuesday, and couldn't wait until next Tuesday.

Funny nowhere in the maintenance post or the patch notes does it anything about an emergency. All it said was a small hotfix. I stress the word SMALL, so where is your information coming from. Sources inside ZOS? Because they damn sure didn't give it to the rest of us.

In short, we found a problem that had to be fixed immediately.

If it has to be fixed immediately and can't wait until the next scheduled patch, it's an emergency. If it requires downtime, it's maintenance. Hence, emergency maintenance.

Now xbox users are getting login failures.

There again nowhere in that statement said emergency, a small, I repeat small hot fix. You know if we knew what it was for it probably wouldn't have gotten to this point. Not saying anything leads to rumors and in general pissed off customers. I'm not mad about the down time, I'm mad at the lack of information.

People it was something wrong with the crown store that's the only thing that works in this dam game they had to fix it.
