Looks like I'm going to miss my Dremira Skull for the day... PST, 11:50am right now, servers aren't going down for a couple hours for those still in then the ambiguous wait time.

Won't make it in before 5pm... that suxxors, and I was trying to get my Dremira skull too, logged and here we all are.

/sad reacc

DandyDev · October 2018

Now I'm missing my daily login rewards and a chance to get an event ticket

StShoot · October 2018

So no eventticket for me today..... why do you have to launch a dlc during an event, Murkmire needed some more pts cycles anyway

Katahdin · October 2018

I wish they had waited until after the witches festival to launch Murkmire

I thought that was the purpose of the PTS. Then again ZOS never seems to fix any problems reported there before they go live on the real game servers.

Wait what I'm still playing. When does it go down?

Logout = lockout right now.
They said they will kick when they actually start the maintenance.

Ah, thought they were already working on stuff then kicked to complete it. Makes more sense I suppose.

well, I guess you have to blame consoles for that - due to this approval process of Microsoft and Sony, stuff cannot be easily changed and patched for consoles. It could be for PC, but then console players would complain and eventually MS and Sony would be angry as well that their consoles would be at a "disadvantage" - which could make the approval process more unpleasant - this is all a tricky issue due to consoles being part of the whole thing.

Vinterskald · October 2018

I'm glad that they try to fix stuff, but I am kinda sad they choose to do so at this time - us EU folks have to sleep once in a while as well

so here's to hoping they'll compensate for the wait time with a free extra event ticket for everyone

Alkapton · October 2018

I was SO excited, I wanted to round up lizards either to sell at market or fry into lizard frikosee. Now I can't. I'm hungry I want my lizard frikosee`

shadyjane62 · October 2018

We should get an event ticket.

eso_nya · October 2018

Im at work, someone posts a "Worldfirst" of the new, challenging content intended to keep ppl busy for the next 3 month, while im still reading patchnotes.
I arrive at home and wait for the download, get into the game and start the nice minigame of activate AddOn -> lua error -> update AddOn -> Remove CustomTitles and AnnyoingUpdateNotifications -> Repeat for next AddOn.
I manage to do a few writs. Server goes down for maintenance.

Typical patchday, nothing to see here.

Malcadicta · October 2018

I finally had a free evening with nothing planned but chill and eso (was planning to do some skull farming probably) after a hell of a weekend, downloaded patch notes just in time to see the servers taken down...

I completely forgot about Murkmire to be honest. Otherwise I'd have planned something else knowing what new DLCs always do to the game xD

maybe they'll extend the witches event <g>

idk · October 2018

It is looking more and more like some in EU will be missing out on an event ticket today. The longer it takes the m ore that will miss out due to Zos' planning.

schattenkind · October 2018

And as always after a new update, the game is *** up again...... I was just on last boss in vFL and wanted to relog to another char and then BAM! Out and gone!

TY for the nice gaming evening ZOS. Not the first time and I should've known better and not be playing the first 3 days after update. I was stupid enough to do so...
*** this game...

Pretty much yeah. Unless they finish with maintenace in like 3 hours (doubtful) it's gonna be over midnight (and I'm in the earliest timezone in Europe so I'm still in the best situation).

ZharaX · October 2018

Useless!

1 More Day or 1 Event Ticket!

FlyingSwan · October 2018

Ah, Zenimax with their classic, 'patch to fix a patch', charade. I am sure they'll peddle out the lame old, "b.b.b.b.b.b.but you can't test this stuff until it's live' garbage, despite the fact all other game companies pull it off fine, month in month out.

That's assuming ZOS have the term 'planning' in their dictionary, something we've not yet seen evidence of.

Palidon · October 2018

Folks did you really expect anything else after a new DLC was released. As far as I am concerned ZOS should put a hold on all new DLC until they get a handle on fixing all the current game performance issues and bugs with their game

Ravensilver · October 2018

Oh... Just got done with my day and wanted to do the dailies and get my event ticket... and there we are without a game to play... ;__;

I do hope that ZOS at least lets us have the event ticket for today. Since by the time the servers come back up, I will be in bed and snoring happily. ^^;;

phairdon · October 2018

A second lot of maintenance? Was approximately 12 hours ago maintenance kicked in.

GlorphNoldorin · October 2018

Usual zos........ new patch, new round of break downs.

I just hope:

a) there are no old bugs that break from this patch (like in combat bug and all the others that came back)
b) there are no new bugs (ha ha ha....... good one)

For all those complaining that this maintenance is in your prime time, at least you don't get this on a weekly basis. Oceania gets routine weekly maintenance in prime time.

I don't remember the last time I wasn't able to play on launch of a DLC... back when the Crown Store was first introduced I think, up to this I haven't experienced any trouble (lag, banding, server down etc) till now. This remind me of Launch Day in 2014 with no info...

Maotti · October 2018

The daily reward reset will be in a few hours, i hope the maintenance is over before that happens.

KingMagaw · October 2018

Gina's last post was ~2.5 hours ago.

Seems a couple of hours to ZOS means more than 2

If over shoot first approximation, least you can do is post an update

Blaming it on Zeni is way easier.

fgoron2000 · October 2018

in addition, this is just the login server, in preparation to take the entire server down to put whatever fix in place...I'm still in-game, and waiting for them to take it down, so it'll prolly be an hour or two minimum after that
