    Thanks for your continued patience, guys. We know you're itching to get in game. At this time, we have QA testing a few things and we should be wrapping up within the hour.

    Similar stuff was said hours ago :/
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    I'm not really upset about the servers being down, and none of you should be either! That means they are working hard and making sure its 100% when it does come back up! If it weren't for these people there would be no game!

    LOL, this game has NEVER been 100% since release, no matter how much maintenance they do! Nice sentiment though.

    So we have waited 10 hours for nothing? Where is the festival :(

    The festival doesn't start until Thursday.

    And similar to the Witches Festival, it's already in the game (it's been in the game since the PTS), and they'll just turn it on and off with the flip of a switch on their end--no patch or downtime required.

    They seem to be on a time, which is even better! :)

    Is it intended that this event has been removed from the PTS with the latest patch (2.5.2) @ZOS_GinaBruno?

    Yes, apologies for not messaging this out clearly in the patch notes. We needed to test the automation process of the event turning on and off, so in this case, it must've worked because the event is off as planned. ;)

    Thanks for everyone's feedback on this event - it's very much appreciated!

    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    Well,really depends on someone's view. The destruction staff ultimate is quite overpowered and is not a proc. And a proc solo is fine,a proc in a 1vX is what truly gives it on a solo PvPer's nerves...

    Define within the hour ... Apparently ZoS's concept of "hour" is a damn long time... I cannot blame you for any difficulties concerning the servers,but please, be specific,that's all we require from you as a community :)

    Give us a break, why most of the MMo can figure out ? Because they want to, and put the suffisant manpower/skill to achieve it. This is simple as that so stop being a fanboy. IT IS ALWAYS LIKE THIS ON EACH MAINTENANCE !!!

    Quit you're *** whining, you big baby. You clearly have zero idea what it takes to update a backend infrastructure like the one this games uses. Nothing is simple about it.

    I do....

    20+ years in development & test here. Let me tell you there's something called a test environment which eliminates downtime like this.

    well, I rather have an ETA that might change, with a new ETA when things go wrong, then guessing if it will be a 4 hour or a 24+ maintenance.

    People only see the "TA" part of "ETA". They have no idea what the "E" stands for.

    Is something big happening to the game that needs the extra time like the new life festival?
