Just remember to leave your client open before you catnap so the patch downloads.

Does that work? Will the client, if open, do the download automatically when it becomes available?

It does, I've done this for previous updates

We've had a tweet and a couple articles on other sites confirming the release date...but has anyone seen an official announcement from ZoS confirming this?

Maybe I missed it, but there is nothing posted on their news section as there was with previous big patches/DLC's.

it has been on the pts for weeks....

did you miss that?

Nope, but you missed the point.

There is no official announcement on the ESO website stating that tomorrow is the release date.
It was announced via 1 tweet, but nothing like this:

Does that make more sense now?

those are all dlc's if i'm not mistaken.

'Update 11' was not technically a DLC.It included a smaller set of DLC, but was a much larger set of changes to the game, and it got an announcement. So did Craglorn and other updates.

This is the largest set of changes to the game that's ever been made. I just find it really odd that no formal announcement of its launch is being made.

Even if it was only 2 dungeons, it was still something extra you buy, hence DLC. Craglorn is also a whole new zone.

Just like any other update, dude.

This has been the worst thing since I joined this game. I had been playing another game that NEVER goes down. I think once there was a few hours downtime for an emergency in the entire 4 years it was running. Patch day means logging out, downloading a small patch and logging right back in play with people who still haven't patched.

We're looking at like 20+ hours of downtime during this last week alone?

Ticare · October 2016

There's certainly something strange about how they're treating this whole thing like nothing is happening. There's going to be a lot people logging on tomorrow wondering what's going on, probably even those who haven't even heard of one tamriel.

You forgot the three hours of download time.

Good point..........Sooo they only advertise and promote things they can sell and make money from.............good to know and good to know where this company has its priorities. imb4 Crown Crates get advertised EVERYWHERE pre launch

Not to be cynical, but yeah, pretty much it would seem. For what it's worth, there are a number of news articles about new features coming with update 12.

Assuming this time is like previous updates, leaving the client open should automatically download when the patch is ready.

I don't know when it will be done but I do that the patch is amazing. Finished the Craglorn story 4 times already after having done it under the old group-only version and now going for the 5th go.

IF we're lucky, otherwise it's on Monday. And actually, Monday is Columbus Day - does ZOS get that off?

*breaking news from the future: half of the characters from every account have been deleted. Deer and lighting were added back in on accident.

Cheers!

By "client" you are talking about the launcher?

I've no idea what area you're referring to, but what is the attraction of some areas going to be? What is it about those places that will suddenly make everyone rush to them from other alliances especially if they think the performance there is going to be badly hit. What are those areas going to offer that isn't already provided where people go normally? It's an aspect of One Tamriel I can't quite get my head around.

Basically, don't leave your characters in Rawlkha, Mournhold, Elden Root, or Wayrest. Probably also Orsinium or Abah's Landing. We have no idea whether instancing will work properly, but given that these areas are already busy (and sometimes cause loading issues for some people) and will have even heavier load, I have no wish to leave any of my characters in an area that may be the cause of "wah I can't log in" threads after the update.

Thanks, but it doesn't answer the question as to why everyone will go to those places when they know they're problematic. Also, unless there is a drastic increase in player numbers the fact that one place becomes more crowded will surely mean that another place will become less crowded? One Tamriel simply takes the same number of players and spreads them across the map so that for every DC player who goes to AD there's likely to be an AD player who goes to DC.

Because a lot of people aren't very educated about changes to the game. I've spent the past week answering questions in various Guilds about things which I thought all regular players should know by now. It isn't so much that people intentionally go to major cities to log out, it's that they log out where they happened to be doing things last - like turning in Pledge quests or Guild Trader shopping. In the course of a normal day, this isn't a problem because people log in steadily throughout the day, but after a patch or other maintenance everyone logs in at once. This means it can actually be impossible to log into Mournhold, Rawl'kha or Orsinium.

To give you all a quick update, it's looking like we'll be wrapping up maintenance in the next couple hours or so.
