    heh, I have no doubt that people are getting worse here BECAUSE they aren't posting here as much as they used to. I completely agree that they should hire someone to fix the PR mess that they have here.

    I'm just saying I don't blame them.... its like walking into a minefield while blindfolded... you just KNOW you are going to be blown to bits.

    On the 4 June they announced here, in the official forums, that the patch would be implemented this week. There is an announcement on the top of every page that says maintenance will not happen at its regular times. I am sure once they know exactly when the servers are going down for the patch, we will hear it here and on other official media pages first .

    This guy. Did you read the Reddit post? She specifically states when it is going down. FFS. Stop with the fanboism.

    ACTUALLY, the way she worded it, it isn't set in stone yet, they are just trying to get it done for tomorrow. Once it is official (which granted, likely won't be until tomorrow morning) it will be posted here since anything they post here would be "official"

    As I stated, she specifically states when it will be coming down. Tentatively or not, there is specific detail in what she said. Does school teach reading comprehension any longer?

    In all fairness, this is the official forum. This should be the first forum that any and all relevant information gets posted on. Negative feedback is certainly not a valid reason for them to do otherwise. There is. Negative feedback on reddit as well.

    That being said, at least the info is out there. I am personally much more concerned with the content of the patch than I am about who hears it first.

    Perhaps they just dislike the forum layout here as much as a lot of players do. As to the idea we have to be nice to them or it will frighten them away...sorry but they are not bunny rabbits or kittens.

    Probably the only place on the internet with a worse layout is reddit which is where they post. They also seem to make changes based on the feedback they get from reddit. I'm not sure why they love that place so much.

    I feel incredibly stupid now for thinking that ZOS's official website would be the place where ZOS would publish information. What a daft assumption.

    This forum has become a cesspool of people who have nothing better to do then post non-constructive bashing of ESO instead of being constructive in the criticism and then go back to enjoying other parts of the game until what they want fixed is fixed.

    You neglected to mention the die hard fanboys who like to stir up just as much trouble as the haters. Zenimax need to clean up their official game forum, not avoid it.
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Kari, they are the folks who create the content; ignoring you own forum, even if you have a lot of whiners on it, is not the answer.

    They need to push their presence on the forum, not hide from trolls. I totally get that some of the negativity is a pain and that " OH no my nightblade, stamina build, healer cannot go manno a manno with a VR12 titan!!!!" nonsense.

    The Forum is their tool to interact with us. If they can't be arsed using it as some of them prefer twitter or facebook etc, then they deserve to fail

    Blizzard does this too and their excuse is "people dont use the forums" like copy/paste is hard.

    We want it posted here.. RIGHT MEOW... :)

    Actually it would be nice to see MORE of the ZOS posts in the "Official News & Patch notes" MORE often. I see LOTS of updates by the Community REP team spread out across the forums, but not a lot of focused "FYI" Communication in the spot you would think it should be posted.

    I had to go OPEN the Road Ahead update or PTS notes to view the changes, and then the latest update by Jessica I think was made in a Templar post as well this weekend.

    I disagree that they are not communicating ENOUGH, but instead we have plenty of communication and it just needs to be focused in a specific area (Official News to me would be that area). Keep up the good work ZOS Rep team! Might want to tweak posts (Not everyone goes to Redit, Facebook, Twitter) - Call me old school, but most that stuff I don't pull in my gaming posts for privacy issues.

    Ah yes, reddit. The horribly disorganised, pain in the ass to find anything cesspool of "might as well be 4chan".
    If they arent going to use the official forums, take them down.

    Hey there, everyone. What Jessica said is correct - we are tentatively scheduled to release update v1.2.3 starting tomorrow. That said, we are still testing the build and want to wait until we're completely sure it passes before announcing the maintenance. We should have news for you very soon, and we'll message it out as soon as we know!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno‌ - thanks for the update.

    It wouldnt be a cesspool if ZOS had some competence in developing a mmo.

    I can not justify spending 1 payroll hour for some one to reply to any of tbe posts made here.

    And no.... this is nlt a product of there own doing..... crap game or not. Its up to the person to be decent, instead of pointing fingers, spazing, overreacting, hate speech, I want love or im out.

    Nothing to see here.....move along

    I disagree.

    Have you *seen* other game forums? Theyre just as bad.

    Have you guys ever been to reddit? It makes this place look very nice and well behaved. That is where they choose to comment so it isn't the "cesspool" that is keeping them from commenting because that place couldn't be much more negative.

    I kind of think it is funny that a major game update is still "tenative" less than 24 hours before they plan to push it out on a non-patch day and they don't think it is worth mentioning on their own forums.

    If it is tenative there is something you are not sure about so why not just get it right before pushing it out. Anything that makes you not sure you can test until Thursday and push it during the scheduled time.

    Better to wait few more days for a CLEAN patch, than waiting weeks for hotfixes for things broken BY that patch.
    I just hope it won't be the same bugfest as 1.1.2 patch.. I really hope they've learned their lesson there, and won't try to lose any more subs because of that. We really don't want to see the game messed up even more than before patch.

    This.

    These forums are more toxic than Molag Bal's breath.

    Almost every thread here can be summarized as follows:

    - Zomg, you are teh failz! There's nothing wrong with the game! L2P nub. I is fanboi #1.
    - This is why I unsubbed. Although I'm unsubbed, I will continue to visit and post on the official ESO forums to complain, offering no constructive input of my own.
    - My post is completely off-topic, but I feel I must post and complain about my problem. Yes, the same problem I started ten threads and biased polls about and have hijacked every thread I can to complain about.
    - I'm too timid to post, therefore I will change the meaning of LOL and hit that button instead in the hopes that the poster will catch my sneering derision through the Internet.
    - Wildstar is better.
    - WoW does it like this...
