(really) Server is up PC NA

Blackwood was such a smooth launch. On time and great performance on Day 1.

I wonder what happened with High Isle.

They changed the hardware in the data center. The only server that is having problems is the one connected to the data center hardware they replaced. So, most likely something small was missed in the replacement that just got discovered with the update. See my earlier linked video giving an insight into complex systems.

I will be fairly upset if I miss out on the $100,000 daily reward because I couldn't log in today due to this maintenance.

I am thankful I logged in before going to bed to be sure to simply tick claim expecting it to break today.
My poor husband, daughter and son did not so they most likely will miss out on this

That's awesome your whole family plays!

play is kinda over statement LOL
Back when it was new 4 of us played beta and had preorders of the game: Myself, husband and 2 sons. After release one son dropped after a couple months. The other dropped after a year. My husband literally falls asleep playing with me.. I will find his toon walking into a wall and him out cold at the keyboard. My daughter has an account but only logs in when I need to 'bounce' mail, she will return it to me. They only 'play' when I ask for a little help with something. I did ask them to simply log in each day to get the gold, but yeah that is out the window it seems now LOL.

I do miss when we all played, but sorrowfully 99.9% of the time I am alone.

Just get it all out now, so we don't get interrupted while actually playing.

I can't play it for another hour anyway. Unlike many, I actually have a job and a life!

Some of us work at home but made time to play the expansion, and the result is that I did none of one and not as much of the other

Something tells me that if enough server offline time accumulated in a certain period, that would not stand up in a lot of jurisdictions. Not that I see anyone trying to take them to court. But regardless of any legalese, the company should take it upon themselves to do the right thing. That's what a good company that cares about its customers does.

About now, I am setting personal expectations for 10 pm next Tuesday, then I can't possibly be disappointed.

Wait. You mean you actually bothered to read it?

Just the part's I knew would stir people up. Don't get me started on the rules they snuck in there about game play!

Hopefully this will make it better when it hits the EU....perhaps they will have one or two of the problems ironed out....perhaps

Reverse auction where no one wants to bid for a longer downtime

Will miss daily login reward on one of my accounts also I think.

Whilst I understand these things happen and I am not all "raaar, compensation", I do think it would be a good idea for Zenimax to redo the rest of the login rewards this month so no-one misses out on any as a result of this - just combine the last 2 rewards into one and give it a day early and no-one will either miss anything or (if they were able to log in today) get anything extra.

Or give everyone the login rewards for yesterday, today and tomorrow (or whenever it comes back up). Then no one can say "They made me miss my daily reward". That would be decent at least.

Carcamongus

Blackwood's launch last year went smoothly, contrary to expectations. Before that, Greymoor's launch was such a sorry mess, which included long queues to login, that the devs gave us a free bundle of goodies that had a pet and the Mace of Molag Bal outfit style. Something changed for the worse ever since Ascending Tide DLC came out. It took a long time for many of the new problems to be dealt with and even then the game didn't return to its previous shape. For example, longer loading times remain and that annoying bug with the WB and delve icons was only partially fixed (at least until yesterday, as I haven't been able to play today yet).

Just guessing. The servers will come back up during prime time, then there will be login server issues/ques, then down again 4am for 6 hour maintenance. Sound about right?

MreeBiPolar wrote: »

One more extension and we get it past the daily logins checkpoint

Ummmm. Even once there up, good luck getting in game. Login issues/ques. Might as well play something else folks, and try again tomorrow. Just saying.

I didn't experience any real problems with Update 33. And I am not talking about how long it will be before they work out all of the bugs. I am talking about how long the servers will be down for. If we are counting working out all of the bugs, then I will set expectations for the second Tuesday of next week. Or the 7th Wednesday in March ... Whichever comes last.

I can sympathize with the devs trying to fix a problem of this magnitude. No one wants such an extended downtime.

But it really doesn't look good on them that they can't get a major launch right. All those resources spent hyping this release and it gets eclipsed by technical failure and customer anger.

I can only imagine how much panic is going on behind the scenes right now.

What if the next update says...

Sorry folks a complete server wipe is needed.

The title- High Isle the new beginning.

I had an MMO that I play do this very thing.

ESO prob never will do this, but since I have seen it happen. You never know.

catdancer1_ESO

Does this mean the daily rewards are messed up? Do we lose the end of June Reward?

These repeated extensions tell me they have no idea how much longer it will be, provided they even know what’s wrong.

This, any excitement I had for this chapter, which wasn't much to begin with (not interested in the card game) is pretty much gone now.

Thanks for the laugh. My favorite part is the word offline at a slight angle. Well done.
