What it means does not mean what it means on these forums.0 -
Kaizokugari✭✭Well, to be fair, ZOS ETAs aren't in the "may" or "sometimes" realm since ever. More like the "always" one. In fact I don't remember when was the last time a first ETA was around the real TA, if there ever was one.1

Of course we do. It means Expired.2 -
Ramjet249Soul ShrivenGive ZOS a break!
Most of you have no idea how much depends on drivers, updates, code that comes from third parties outside of their control.
The technologies involved on the servers include authentication, networking, databases, backup on the outside of the game as well as the game framework which has most likely multiple entry points with the server services, all of which require staff expert in these areas having to meld with one another. When things don't start up right, troubleshooting all of this stuff is time-consuming and can be hit and miss.
ZOS may not have the luxury of having identical environments to achieve a very high success build of the server every time.
so.... Is the server up yet?
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 !!!
Lol, sufficient manpower? This requires paying for the skill in the appropriate fields. The funds are going to come from the crates I guess, which are real expensive for what you get! Fanboy? a derogatory term applied to someone 'on the other side' of one's opinion..sure I am, as nothing else out there has my current interest (waiting for Star Citizen), considering having played all the other MMOs worth their salt. I for one could grumble as I had today off, and cannot play... hope it's back soon.2 -

tunepunk✭✭✭✭✭The wayshrine from my living room to Tamriel didn't work at all today, on my day off work. So noticed a NPC in my kitchen. Apperently this NPC is my wife. Quite a pleasant person actually.8

Jeshima✭✭I didn't see anything in the patch notes that seemed that major.
Is something big happening to the game that needs the extra time like the new life festival?
Now I am picturing all the animals in tamriel running beserk, wreaking havoc in all the towns.Edited by Jeshima on 12 December 2016 18:381 -

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.
You are going to have to buy way more crown crate if you want a test environment.Edited by jmgrant44ub17_ESO on 12 December 2016 18:363 -

My thanks for the ETA's provided, though this should be standard for any company in this day and age.
My only feedback would be, if you say it will be 1 hr, don't respond 1hr 9mins later saying it will be more time. You should know by <50 mins that your not reaching your given estimated time and it should be updated to reflect another ETA.
I can certainly use my powers of deduction to discover, after an additional 1 hour 9 mins server offline that your not meeting your first ETA of about an hour. It takes 30 seconds to make a forum post and considering your representing a company to thousands of people, this 30 seconds time should be scheduled in for you.4 -
ArvenAldmeri✭✭✭✭✭I want a whole day of eso+ refunded in crowns. Seriously tho, in EU its taking all day now.Magicka sorcerer from start until the end. Always. Through the good times and the bad, even now when its probably saddest PvE dps it has ever been.
Even as an owner of one radiant apex mounts I am against radiant apex mounts and anything thats not obtainable by direct purchase.3 -
Europe server maintenance schedule is unacceptable. There is zero excuse for it to begin at 9 am GMT. I would've been largely fine with it if it lasted a maximum of two hours. Not four. Not ten.
Your company has the resources necessary to provide the proper service. I don't care about excuses, I want already implemented solutions. The solution is easy: push back Europe maintenance times at least 4 hours earlier. I don't care about NA schedule, I don't play there. The servers have had separate maintenance times in the past, bring them back.
Do something. You can. So do.
I'm very disappointed today in the team behind this game.9 -

Nearly 10 hours - UK GMT Current time: 6:40pm.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.0 -
