It would be great if we all could still play offline and when servers went back up our progress could be uploaded.
Dungeons and other live events would not be allowed but crafting, home furnishing, skill building, etc. would be nice.

✭✭✭Maybe they could release a related game that draws some inspiration from ESO but doesn't really require you to be in the game. And then we could play that during down time.
Maybe a card game or something.5 -
zharkovian✭✭✭The explanation is simple according to ZoS, one of their fixes on the maintenance patch broke something else. The game is like some digital form of Jenga and subsequently, because the patch wasn't fully tested, hundreds of thousands of players have nothing to do until (at least) 4pm Eastern time. I was saddened once again to arrive at my PC this morning and find that "computer says no"3

No, it does sound a bit more complicated. Originally it might have been a simple maintenance update, but organic bovine fertilizer happens. [This is possibly why I shudder every time an armchair coder/dev insists "of course they can do [flying/swimming/mountain climbing/whatever] its easy, they're just lazy]
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/7709918/#Comment_7709918Update: We have identified the issue that was causing this, which was tied to one of the fixes that went into today's PC incremental patch. We are working on removing the necessary elements now. Please be aware it will take several hours to get everything fixed, tested, and completed; we will continue to provide updates in this thread as we have them.

Unfortunately this is not feasible because that would mean the client would be updating the server information and would be easily opened to various bad actors. Imagine a client sending information that 2 million dreugh wax was acquired while offline.(Math before coffee, except after 3, is not for me)4 -

I'm sure the patch was tested but you can't possibly test every scenario. If you tried to do that it would takes several months of testing just to get a fix out.1 -

How about just Housing ? I was thinking about a total disconnect that would not affect anyone else.

Sure, let me upload my entire gallery of Velothi paintings
So you're saying this is ripe forexploitation? Moving around furniture in your own home offline shouldn't be difficult.

Once you give the player's client the authority to make changes that normally happen server side, you open a whole can o' worms. It should never happen.GM of Gold Coast Corsairs - PCNA5 -

Everything that you do on your own computer, without being checked against the server all the time, is a wide open door for tinkering.
If you do something, the state of the game has to be saved somewhere - on your disk, in memory, whatever. That saved state can be accessed and edited. So even if you restrict home decorations to only moving stuff around - no placing, no crafting - having the state of your home stored somewhere on your computer, means that this can be extracted, edited, and so on.
Yes, there are ways they could innoculate the game against these things. But that means lots of additional development work, effort that isn't nearly worth the reward.2 -
