ZOS I will make this simple and to the point. You need to get your act together. These down times are getting old especially for those of us who are paid subscribers and are missing out on game time with no reimbursement.

I am a paid subscriber, and I expect no reimbursement for them doing their jobs. It's not like ESO+ costs $50 a month you know...

Not everybody has the same ammount of free money to spend every month,
some people,including me,have to make choices in what hobby's are worth paying for reguraly.

aaand my gold keys are gone n_n

Oh my gosh you people complain to freaking much, if they didn't do this, the game would be complete junk, what would you rather have? Lots of maintenance to get a problem fixed, or have it where it's not and get kicked, get viruses, and a bunch of other stuff all the time, I seriously doubt anyone here could do better, so quit your griping and complaining, either get on PTS, another game, or just be quiet.

While we normally make every effort to give in-game notice when we're bringing a server offline, we wanted to expedite it in this particular case to prevent further loss of progress that some of you had already run into. Again, as mentioned earlier in this thread, we expect downtime to be at least a couple hours. We'll keep everyone updated in this thread.

Gina, you posted notice of it going down here long before the server was switched off in game. One of the guild guys said the servers were going down and we thought he was joking around.
Sorry, but there are way more people in game than on the forum and there is ABSOLUTELY no reason not to give even a five minute warning.
It is rude and a very stupid way to treat customers, because that's what we are. Customers. And this customer is very very cross.

Customers are people that walk into a store, buy something, then go home and (typically) never deal with those employees ever again. If anything we are consumers rather than customers. Also not everyone pays for this game. At MOST, they buy the game and that's it. Further payment is optional and on you. Why don't people get that? Seriously they think they are entitled to legit trash talking Zenimax just because they buy crowns and/or sub...

Consider the alternative for a minute. The earlier login issues are fixed and you can get back into the game. The root cause of the login issues remains unfixed, but ZOS wants you to be able to play.

Because they did not fix the root cause, everyone keeps getting indeterminate and spasmodic rollbacks. Which is worse - indefinite rollbacks until the next scheduled maintenance, which is five days away, or maintenance now to fix the root cause, and no more rollbacks?

It's not that they didn't fix the root cause, it's that, historically, they CANT fix the root cause of pretty much anything.

Thats very nice of you but in prime time? Seriously? You guys must consider not only changing your useless employees who can't repair the game but also refund for EVERY player. Even without subscribe. May be even in-game presents. Because turning down servers in prime time is just... Violently
Maelstorm sharpened daggers would be nice :P

Those "useless employees" make playing this game possible in the first place. Those same "useless employees" are who will have the game back up and further rollbacks not happen. Hate to break it to ya, but replacing those people will not do any good. In fact, it could very well make things worse!

You people really need to chill and think with a level head. Your anger issues are so fargone not even Jack Nicholson could help you.

LoL nice Jack Nicholson reference

This happens every time there has been a maintenance the previous day. I am a paying ESO+ member and think it is time ZOS give us free game time every time this happens. Someone is not doing their jobs properly and it's causing downtime.

It has been happening far too often now.

No exact time for completion, but expect it to be at least a couple hours. Sorry, guys. We're going to try and get you back in as soon as possible.

a couple of hours ?????????????????

I am so done with this game...week in week out the same story....

I feel for you all but considering the game has been unplayable to me since last Friday because of persistent crippling lag I'm probably the only person here excited for emergency maintenance.

**Patch Notes**

General

We're sorry to announce but we are going to rollback servers by 7 hours. The issue was caused by our recent corrections to certain Quests in Stormhaven, where we changed the line-up of option paths to represent the story better.

*snip*

This is the most frightening thing I've read all day. 7 hours??! I farm consecutively for XP. 7 hours will knock me back so far!!!

Maybe this offers you more ways to learn your char instead of grinding to max level and complaining about content being too hard for your gold equipped min max char.

People grinding in this game to reach an endgame they won't ever participate in.... Humanity please!

@ZOS_GinaBruno will there be any hashtags of any selfies?

Honestly Darkness, all we are asking for is a warning....you know the countdown saying the server is going down...you have played this game long enough to notice that they usually give you a countdown right?

So, was ZOS the beneficiary of malicious third-party targeting? The conspiracy theorist in me wants to know.

If Wal-mart is the third-party, then yes

With weekly (long) maintenance these things should not happen at all,
and these things happen way to "frequent".

im with you im happy there doing something, Something is better then Nothing honestly

I love the way people think that bringing servers down over and over and over again is "ZOS doing their job". NOT bringing down servers all the time and keeping services running is doing your job.

Somehow other MMO devs manage to run their games without 4-8 hours of maintenance every other day. And none do this when it's the prime time. And yeah, i couldn't do this better, and that's one of the reasons i'm not trying to run a mmo.

All the people complaining on this thread... and it's not shut down!!!???

I thread something like 'almost' everyone else is saying and I get a thread shut down and a warning! Let's be consistent now....

If the comments were THAT out of hand (some of them are, but not all because people are entitled to fury lol) mods would edit or delete them.

Sometimes, complex technology runs into complex problems.

Be glad it's just your game server this time and not your dialysis machine.

There are some problems in your logic: we can't play, it's just impossible.

Does anyone know where this one was taken?)

Nah sorry not buying it.

There is once or twice, it happens. Over and over and over again, in prime time every week with no real information about what's going on isn't right.

All MMO's have done this so you cannot use that excuse.
