Ok all, we're going to be opening the PC and PS4 servers momentarily. We're still working on completing maintenance on Xbox.

Thanks

Hmmm Xbox still not up

How big is the patch we have to download?

A massive 318MB I think.......

So.. what was the issue exactly? @ZOS_GinaBruno

Maybe it's a hot fix to take proc sets out ! I can only wish

Absolutely so many entitled cry babies in this forum post. I really wonder what would happen with those that always complain about maintenance if ZoS just said. "Ok, you know what, we give up. Taking all servers offline permanently"

Then i bet those same people would be back here crying because they couldn't play the game anymore.

Well, if they take the servers offline permanently I at least wouldn't be paying not to play so I think I'd at least be "crying" less and would feel less entitled to access it on my gaming days considering I'm no longer paying for it.

I do apologize if me feeling I'm entitled to play something on my gaming days when I pay for the privilege to do so offends you. Because I do feel entitled, since you know.... I'm paying.

Correct you are paying, you are also agreeing to the Terms of Service which states that they can take the game down and do maintenance anytime they need or want to do so. So if you feel like complaining about something you agreed to, then i suggest you take your money elsewhere instead of the same people every damn week coming here and complaining about the same thing.

Pretty much everyone that complains each and every time the servers go offline fits what Albert Einstein said

Understand your frustration for sure; we try to avoid having maintenance on the weekend at all costs. We were already prepping the PC build for Monday's maintenance, but due to how patches are prepared, we needed to publish 2.6.9 during today's downtime. It's a complicated process, but the good thing is we won't need downtime for maintenance on Monday at least.

Do you? Calling the "avoided" maintenance on monday a "good thing" in this discussion raises serious doubts. Most people writing here said they don't care about monday downtimes because they will be away, working.

"due to how pateches are prepared" and "it is a complicated process" ... perhaps you should think about your processes then? Others have proven that preparing hotfixes at any time IS possible. There are things like source control, aotomated build processes, feature and hotfix branches, automatic merges in source trees, and so on.

Furthermore, you had an obvious choice: postpone that planned patch for one week, and just do the hotfix. Nothing in the patch notes is urgent.

I'm in the software business as well, and I know there are emergencies, and sometimes ugly bugs show up. Finally the customers decide if and when they are p***** off, and when. You can only try to make your product and processes as comfortable as possible to please your customers. What happened here today was far from optimal. Rethink your build and distribution processes and start to learn from your mistakes.

If everyone simply took their money elsewhere instead of complaining when a service they are paying for is interrupted then I fear you'd have nothing to play. Airing a grievance is necessary if you want to see something changed or prevent it from happening again. I'm sorry you are one of those that sits back and accepts what ever the situation is even if it affects you and others negatively, not everyone is like that. I'm sorry you don't understand how these things work. I pity you as well for not understanding there was plenty Einstein complained about and tried to change/prevent as well.

I guess they are altering the drop rate of Sharpened weapons from vma that has been unusually high since double drops

I am so afraid you might be actually right, especially since ZOS is so quiet regarding this hotfix. Yesterday I did 5 runs in vMA and I noticed that the traits of both weapons from the final chest was always the same... I mean the trait of the first weapon was the same as the trait of the second weapon. That's why I got 4 sharpened weapons, including bow and lighting staff (no inferno though....), 2 precise weapons and 2 defending.

Bro, it's a video game. Pretty sure Einstein would tell tell you to chill your ass out.

Or at least Michaelangelo would.

Fyi "Genius is eternal patience.'

Hello again! @ZOS_GinaBruno

When comes the Hotfix Notes?

Can everyone stop moaning like [snip] kids and let these poorly paid coders fix the issues instead of replying and dealing with extra stuff thats taking thier time away from fixing it? Id be playing WoW again if I used my PC but we all love these games where we can be an orc and stuff...fight goblins, whatever...if a better game came out and offered the same stuff we'd go to that in a heartbeat, dont kid yourself...but there isnt anything so we are here waiting like the nerds we are.
