HI folks. Really a question directed at @ZOS_JessicaFolsom or @ZOS_GinaBruno if I may...

What actual TIMES is the DLC available to purchase/download/install?

I ask as in the UK, the 31st is actually a Bank Holiday and therefore, from a demographics perspective, you would see a MASSIVE peak in players on that day, inclusive of the DLC which always looks good fora EU Press Release :)

Could you guys make it as early as possible please? 12.01am GMT on the 31st would work best for most I think :)

Also, will there be a chance to "pre-purchase/download" a day or two before as it's going to be a MASSIVE download?

    So far I do not think they have said anything. But usually mmo's do their download for the date on the calendar for the part of the world the company is in. So that means you get it on September 1st if they go by that model since the company is American. But here's hoping for ya over there in EU land.

    If the 31st is a bank holiday in Europe do you guys really want to see it tied up with a long download/update? Admittedly you could do something productive like yard work or such but who wants to do that on their day off?

    Bank holidays are the best time in the UK, as everyone is stuck on the motorways. :D
    This post will not take you an unusually long time to read.

    Oh yeah, I know the patch days are different, but it says nothing of the sort in the official release notes.

    Hence, asking for clarification on dates/times :)

    AS per here: http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2015/07/15/imperial-city-launch-details

    Very clearly states PC/MAC for the 31st. One would assume a global release on the 31st, more than likely geared to the East Coast - which again sucks for EU...but who knows :) Staggered might be the best option if DONE RIGHT! :)

    01.09.2015 03:00/04:00 AM should start the EU update. It should require (guessing) 5 hours to pacth the Server with IC.
    01.09.2015 09:00/10:00 AM the Server should be back online for EU

    It will be the regular update time as always. It will likely take a few hours for the server to be updated and then depending on the speed of your Internet, a few hours to download the patch. They are not doing anything special for the patch outside of the normal. The EU server is usually updated at 10 pm EDT, so that is when it will be patched. If the PTS is a good indicator, it was six hours offline for maintenance and patch deployment.

    Yes, I understand the frustration about the patch coming the day after a bank holiday, but it is a Monday and most people have weekends off. I suspect that they will need to have as many people on hand for patch deployment. I suspect that with my internet, I won't be able able to log in until 9 pm, a full 12 hours after the server goes down. Look at it this way, you will be getting the IC weeks ahead of the consoles.

    Content patches have always been released on schedule. That has actually been the problem in the past. They won't take their time to fix possible bugs before release.

    Take a look at the PTS section. It's not ready.

    That's what I'm saying. It doesn't matter if it's ready.

    Doesn't mean it won't get released.

    It will get released. No doubt about it. They put it on PTS to find the minors flaws their QA missed but once it's on PTS it's a done deal regardless of player feedback.
