If people are too busy getting drunk on their holidays/working on 1.6, fine, but how hard is a plain server restart really? Even if it doesn't fix majority of our problems we will at least know that much. My game has never been less laggy than after last maint though, I miss that feeling:'(

They are waiting for Sage to return from Hawaii. No one at ZOS dare do anything without his approval.

They have allready won mmorpg.com face-off. They don't have to try or pretend now.

Well yeah perhaps they are so much infront of other competitors, that they decided to give them a little advantage by messing their own game

You prob wont see Maint until 1.6 on pts or maybe even live. Remember all the incoming changes are designed to balance out the game so it is no big deal for them to have issues that slow down levels/quest completions right now as new players wont be as stressed out as players who are already used to these issues.

a maintenance is long overdue, the game is really breaking down

Well I like so many others will say again....If you not happy with Zenimax then show them the ONLY place they care about.
The wallet, unsub and wait for problems to be fixed. The more that do this you can bet your ass they will fix them quicker.

Why The ***** Not?!

The laggier the game, the merrier the postings... well, no, actually that's what I'd like to know, too...
...Besides of falling through the gameworld (also several times just recently) and getting random loading screens at every corner, it's getting a bit much by now.

That'll definitely help with immersion.

Yeah, it is really immersive indeed^^ After recovering from the shock from losing the ground below my feet out of nowhere and getting lost somewhere far below ground level, it's quite a sight with all the non-textured hollow mesh parts, grass and monsters above. It feels like really being there lol
But only when landing on the basic watermesh which stops the fall. When there isn't any, you'll fall down into nowhere infinitely or until the game crashes which is not that immersive.
The only problem with the landing-option is, you'll have to fasttravel to a wayshrine to ever get out of there again, since, other than f.e. in Morrowind, even the non-rendered sides of the meshes (also ground) have collision.

The collision in general can be pretty unstable sometimes anyways. Like using Teleporting Strike and landing within or behind a wall and never get out anymore without fasttravelling, or knocking back an enemy which also gets stuck behind a wall. The latter can be funny, though; since they are still in combat mode, you can see the dual wield dagger stabbing attempts through the wall, but only if you get close enough, otherwise they calm down. But, this topic belongs to another thread. For the part in the first paragraph, I blame the server still not being maintained, though.

Everyone is complaining about the issues they DO have. You're just one of the lucky people who don't.

Beating LotRo is hardly an achievement I've played flash games more enjoyable.

A new bug I'm seeing more and more frequent is no target reticule when jumping on a ballista, and if you fire the ballista it hits the floor in front of you?!?

My angst made me blind to the word "not". Sorry.

Why annouce "NOT DOING" maintanance? Is this something they are proud of?
Is this some kind of new PR trick I am not aware of? Anouncing things you are not going to do?

Because they do maintenance on the US server on Mondays and EU server on Tuesdays, regularly.

Thus, they announce it because it's an exception to that practice.

Still, the servers NEED to be restarted, things are mesed up atm

I am not an expert, or even anywhere close BUT for the past week my playing experience has got gradually worse and worse.....

To the point that yesterday I just logged on a few times to put stuff in Guild Stores, I did not play at all because the day before all the weird behaviour had driven me nuts.......

Usually I have little or no problems, so to me the only possibility is the server desperately needs a reset.....

I have of course done a FULL RESET of my own equipment after all it's only common sense!!

I would guess its not broken enough yet. There was a thread other day about all the problems lack of basic cleaning their game is causing, but sadly you can't seem to get all the people that complain :in game: to get their rears here and vocal

Don't they know that complaining on the forums is an uber mini game?

Last night I was finishing up Doomcrag in Rivenspire, in the second to last room.
The opponents are 2 lvl 30 undead, followed by a lvl 30 gargoyle. There was no way to stop the opponent spawning. the supposed que to destroy certain devices never appeared. I ended up in continuous combat for slightly over an hour killing 2 undead followed by a gargoyle every 40 seconds or so. Burned over 30 potions, had to re-provision mid battle, totally discharged my sword, and wrecked my armor to 50%.

It did raise me one whole level though

Plus I also had the 'beating your spell to the opponent' thing happen all night.

Wir haben Anfang nächster Woche voraussichtlich einen neuen Patch - Version 1.5.8.
Das Live-Team untersucht, ob wir die Server vorher noch einmal neu starten, um auf eure Bedenken einzugehen. Aber zumindest in unseren Anzeigen lässt die Performance der Server nicht wirklich nach, wenn sie länger ununterbrochen laufen.

We expected early next week a new patch - version 1.5.8 .
The Live team investigated whether we previously restart the servers over again , to address your concerns. But at least in our classifieds lets the server performance by not really care if they run longer without interruption .

I don't speak german but others do so I'm sure someone will be along to translate better. The best I got is google translate.
