Genuinely curious, why does an inauguration in the U.S. delay a video game company releasing information the next day? Is the information/reveal not finished and you need more time? Will everyone be in D.C. at that time? Will the inauguration overshadow the reveal? I'm not upset, it's only a week, just honestly curious as to what one has to do with the other.
Their head office is not far from the US capital, so presumably even though they are working from home, most employees also live in the area. Probably postponed out of an abundance of concern for their employees.

I'm not from the US not even from an English country, but even I are aware of the chaotic that politic state are in the US, then isn't a surprise that zos has taken this choose.

This indeed begs the question if the PTS and the update will be postponed as well. To stay on track, the PTS would have had to start at the 25th. Is this obsolete now?

PTS (and the actual Update release date) will very likely postponed by a week (PTS to Jan 27 or later, DLC to around March 15-ish?), for sure. That said, it hasn't been officially announced yet, so no harm, no foul. Any potential release dates posted here are just speculation until the actual announcement.

it would be better if Zos said that they simply do not have time to prepare. little lie, but a lot less questions

Arent they all working from home?
Woulnt the stream be from their home like pretty much every stream since march/april?
If so wouln't they be in security in their own home?
I personnaly dont really follow the us news that much(i only know there was a riot at the capitol last week) is the situation so dire that people may not even be secure in their homes?
Stay safe all of you my southern neighbour!😇
I hope that the situation do not explode in any way
And ill be happy to see you guys on the 26 for the stream😁

They've stated it's for safety reasons, though. There's no question after last week that that's an entirely legitimate concern. Why would they lie and say they haven't had time to prepare? You know stuff like that actually has an impact on a business?
they are broadcasting from home. what can happen to them? if only they themselves want to participate in the rallies ..
Seems like Twitter is more priority, especially in dlc feedback. 🙃16BitForestCat wrote: »I do wish ZOS had been more open about it being a safety issue, though, instead of just sticking it in a Twitter reply to one person that many will never read.

Another thing that is really starting to wear thin, is the constant stream of world shaking calamities infesting ESO Tamriel on basically daily basis. Back before these yearly stories were a thing, when Dark Brotherhood and Thieves guild were the hot new stuff, and most of us were still busy with Wrothgar, we had stories with more sensible scope. Local issues, things not having godlike beings trying to destroy or conquer the world. Now ESO is turning into a version of Marvel New York. If it aint an alien invasion, or some sort of demonic cataclysm happening, then it has to be mythological gods trashing the city on a weekly basis. If a month passes in that town without at least one world ending event taking place, then there is something seriously wrong with reality itself. And ESO is starting to paint a similar picture about Tamriel.
Created a new Twitch account so my second ESO account can have the frog pet, too. Wanted to link my new twitch account to the ESO account. ESO: the account System is under maintenance. Until 1 hour after the stream has started.
Like, really???

Notification about the maintenance was there for quite some time. Also, I'm not sure, but you may be able to link accounts after getting the drop and claim the drop after that
