Is there some hotfix you must implement or something? Can't it wait till Monday like usual?

    Most likely an exploit or something they want to get fixed.

    Literally on the giant yellow banner below the schedule.

    Hotfix to nerf @Vaoh for being unfairly fashionable. Have you seen the screenshots!?

    Lol patch on a weekend, further down the spiral we go. If it's not a server issue I'm sure it could wait til normal Monday maintenance, it's a couple of days ffs.

    The question is what needs a hotfix?

    Weird thing... no patch on the last monday.
    Everything was fine... then suddenly a weekend patch CLEARLY INDICATING there was something NOT FINE.
    So why not just stick to the classic patch days and just DO IT RIGHT instead of messing it up again.

    What is the reason for the hotfix. Is there something a select few are exploiting? Can it not wait till Monday? Everything seems fine to me.

    @Calboy
    They will probably not announce the reasons until the patch is on the way.
    If it is an exploit some people would read it and start exploiting as long as possible.
    (like the Maw of Lorkhaj Chest issue... i am honest... if I had knew about it I'd have used it as long as I'd gotten my Divine Twilight Embrace)

    This is really inexcusable business practice. People work, people look forward to the weekends to play and now this? I dont want a patch on weekends, I`d happily wait for you to patch it when I`m working. This is so void of any respect to your EU customers.

    ZOS you are stretching it.

    7:00pm till 1:00am for Oceanics on a Saturday evening for maintenance, this is without a doubt the worst decision Zos has ever made regarding downtime scheduling lol.

    ^-That and Good too know. We will see how that holds since maintenance is spotty for this game in terms of doing it right the first time.

    For us Oceanics it's going to be 7pm - 1am on a Saturday night......

    Whatever they are "fixing" better be god damn worth the 6 hours I'm losing tonight.

    Yes I'm mad.

    Bad move.
    If you need a hotfix, do that quickly. But to include the monday path here and prolong the downtime on a weekend...do you at @ZOS really think? Do you really understand your customers?

    Furthermore, "need" ... what kind of need would that be? We have a lot of gamebreaking bugs that don't get fixed for weeks or months. What kind of bug suddenly is that urgend it can't wait two more days?

    Compared to other games, patch management in ESO is really bad. Hotfixes in other games take minutes to install, and even feature patches seldom take more than an hour. Weekly maintenance happens, but is much shorter. Download sizes are much smaller (but the game itself is as large as the tamriel world). And most importtant: bugs like broken skills or mechanics are fixed within a few days (or the feature gets disabled until fixed).

    Rather do small hotfix today, then maintenance on Monday as per usual. 6 hour downtime on a *** Saturday? Use your brains a bit ZOS.
  • EdgarLecter
    ''We have discovered an issue that requires us to publish a small hotfix on all platforms which will begin tomorrow, November 12 at 4:00am EST / 9:00 UTC. As we were already in the process of prepping for the next PC incremental patch, we will also be publishing PC patch v2.6.9 during this downtime (due to this maintenance, we will not be having our regularly-scheduled PC maintenance on Monday, November 14).

    We’re currently estimating console downtime to be approximately 4 hours, and PC/Mac downtime to be closer to 6 hours. We’ll update the banner at the top of the forum as each maintenance is complete, and will publish the PC patch notes during tomorrow's maintenance.''

    At least we are not getting a maintenance at this monday.
