Maintenance Start Time Should Be Earlier! Start Earlier Then Get Off Earlier! ^^

Blade_07

Maintenance start time should be earlier so as to not keep us the customers hanging for so long. Come in early and get off early, cool! I really appreciate and feel maintenance is absolutely necessary but making it start at least a couple hours earlier would really be cool for us customers! I'm sure a schedule change could be easily done for Mondays. So, you guys come to work a couple hours earlier on Monday, no big deal really specially because you will get off work 2 hours sooner then normal. Its really a win, win situation.

Yes, because people usually don't mind waking up at 4 am to get to work just so that you can get your early morning playtime.

These people have families as well. I get that you want to play the game, but come on.

Oh wow,this has never been posted about before...well, apart from the other 10000348 topics about it.

It's been the same for over a year, it wont change any time soon. So get used to it!

No single time is convenient for everyone. Sorry it doesn't work for you but hey that's life.

Yes, they have families so that is why I brought up the point that they will get off early! I use to and many people in this world have wired work times so what! I have a wife and three kids and I worked the times that I was needed to. Besides, its awesome to get off work earlier then normal! Surprised that you cant see that. O.o

OMG.......to the rescue.


Its just an idea and you guys dont know, they may just like it. Will it actually happen I doubt it but hay, this is a forum for peoples ideas and thoughts. Figured I would throw tis one out there. Figured yall would be in support of this idea but if yall like waiting during your prime gaming time then more power to ya then.

My launcher did not even start patching until 5 minutes ago, so I don't how you got eclusive early access. You must be an ESO Premium+ member lol!

My issue isn't that they chose to have the server go down during the morning although highly inconvenient. My issue is the EU server goes down very late at night when the server population is at it's lowest. Also the EU servers go down a full day after the NA servers do giving them time to see if the patch brakes the game. It's almost like ZoS a Germany based company cares more for the EU players than the NA ones. I mean that can't be right it's almost like instead of using the PTS to test stuff ZoS uses NA server to test for the EU server and the PC/Mac Servers to test for the Console. No way in hell that's what's happening right?

You should have whined about it a week ago when they announced it. You had plenty of opportunity.
I get that when you get back from work/school you want to relax by playing ESO, but come on, it's just a few hours. You can wait a few hours right? You're an adult aren't you?

Really, thats when maintenance should be done. If the customer is really so important then why do maintenance during play times that effect all American players? In FFXI they did maintenance late at night so that we would not be interrupted by it. But Square Enix takes their games and customers very seriously. High five for the Japanese! ~.^

Also would like to point out that my friends NEVER got disconnected during those hours.. they just now logged off and have been playing all morning..

If you were playing at the start of the update you were allowed to KEEP playing as long as you did not log out..

Now they are patching, but they played for the 2+ hours I was sitting at the "Maintenance" screen.

Being an adult has nothing to do with it. Just threw an idea out there is all. Not whining about it. I think its ok to come in here and voice your opinion right? This is a forum right? I could understand if I trashed Zenimax but I did no such thing in this thread.

I am going to assume based on this comment that you don't actually work. Showing up early only means showing up early. Their shift doesn't end when the game is back up they have to remain at the office for the rest of the day doing work.

Patch installed and server is up.

Seeya!
