This Maintenance is a Little Excessive

Sometimes upgrades/maintenance just go sideways. If you believe things could be better, I hear ZOS is hiring. Maybe you should apply and help them out.

ITT: People who know absolutely nothing about telecommunication equipment attempting to critique the efforts of those whose job it is to maintain said equipment.

At this point it not about knowing anything but rather reading their own words, this was originally told to everyone as a 3 to 4 hour maintenance. Now I understand issues happen but to say things are going well when you are WAY over schedule is a bit of BS. At least they could be honest with us.

As long as stuff isn't breaking in the tech field, things are going well.

If things start costing actual money (not potential profit), things are not going well.

I wouldn't want to work for them. I'd say it's an unsecured job opportunity.

How do you know they are doing their best? As far as I know, they might be sleeping as raccoons in a cold december day...

As a general statement, the OP title is true. Hopefully technical issues get resolved with the hardware updates which would then make any downtime worthwhile.

Hey I'd rather them take their time and do a good job rather than rush things and have a warp core breach . . . Nerd points

The sad part is how much some of these naysayers actually spend time bashing Zenimax while still staying on their forums or even in their game. They either have nothing better to do with their lives or are just plain trolling. Either way, quite sad...

I love these people who pretend like they wouldn't call the power company if they were without power for 12 hours, and someone will say you lost $150 over last two days, well multiply that by everyone affected and its big money. This should have been communicated WEEKS ago, you are upgrading hardware and thought you could sneak it in? QQ is for sheep who just got home from work and started drinking. They also pretend they have been waiting for 13 hours.

No it's not players fault that zos gave a timeframe and blew it out of the water. Twelve hours of maintenance is a little much, but beyond that you spear people for complaining when they have athe right to their opinions just like you. Will complaining do any good probably not, but they certainly have the right to be upset considering yesterday and they said it was going down for 4 to 6 hours today and its been 12 already. And as far as they are doing the best they can, please a little common sense goes a long way.

If youre (not you specifically) going to complain when the servers are up and when the servers are down what do you expect them to do? Let them have have a few hours or days of down time to get their *** together before the next DLC. if it means a smoother transition then so be it.

The problem is it wont be a smooth transition and I guarantee more downtime this week.

If said opinions were not disregarding Zenimax's open statements for the sake of saying they are incompetent then yes we would not spear the people stating said opinions.
