    Probably, followed by a 5-8 hour download of the patch. :D

    In all seriousness, I don't expect to be playing on Monday.

    Hm... I'd say to expect: A long download for the patch, complaints of the long patch, complaints of how classes are ruined now and or overpowered, complaints about how poisons are overpowered, and last but certainly not least — tons of bugs to be fixed.

    Well when TG came out some guildies took the day off to play - I went to work, came home, downloaded the patch and started to play at the same time they did.

    So yes I expect the servers will be down for 6-8 hours :smile:

    Another thing I expect is the lack of mats and armor in my inventory to fully dress the 7 new "v16's"...

    I expect the usual, more glitches, more bugs and lots of whining that nothing reported in pts has been fixed along with the added extra of QQ threads about poisons being OP.
    The blood and wine expansion for witcher 3 is being released on the same day though so I'll be playing that anyway :smiley:

    I plan to play,as usual.Just not in the new zone. I might go there for a few minutes,but that's about it.
    I'll wait until the crowd dies down a bit to come in and play.I played some of it in the PTS.
    It'll be fun to finish.

    I'm hoping they start the downtime at like 3 AM so that whatever "issues" there are with the patch can be addressed earlier in the day on patch day. I anticipate a pretty long downtime, easily 6-8 or more hours.

    Thankfully the Dark Brotherhood patch was actually quite small, about 3.5GB if I recall correctly.

    However I would caution against planning any kind of time off/holiday around this because (and I stress this is not ZOS-exclusive) games that are updated very often have a lot of issues on release day, possibly even leading to an entire day wasted.

    Once we know the maintenance schedule, probably later this week, we can plan ahead! :smile:.

    You never know what to expect. With Wrothgar, I was playing around 10:00 EST. I can't recall if TG went that smoothly, but other patches have resulted in very long down times. Best advice is "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst:.
