    Bring back SUBSCRIPTION only and we wouldn't have as many issues

    Come again? It was exactly like this while the original subscription scheme was in place, as well.

    With the exception of the year I've been away, I see no significant difference in the alarming frequency of unscheduled maintenances now from what it was in closed beta or the first half year after launch.

    I guess we should consider it a feature by now.
    Ok, who aggroed? I did? Never! I wouldn't. I swear.

    Compensation for Downtime coming soon...no ETA...

    Yep! Ur "compensation" will be that you will HAVE TO PAY THEM MORE! ... because the time its taking for them to fix this huge problem. It will come from our pockets. Prices will be jacked-up some more! In a time of possible economic crisis/collapse, their prices will go up.

    Just speculating sarcastically with possible truths.

    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...

    Seriously ZOS, there should be some compensations for these unplanned downtimes!!!

    What about for example:

    - 10 000 gold for all players
    - 5 free experience scrolls
    - one free rare mount of our choice
    - 100 sweetrolls for all (without an arrow to the knee)


    !!!!????

    @ZOS_GinaBruno

    like they would ever give a free rare mount for this...... knowing zeni, if they would give something for compensation it would be a pet or some other cheap crown stuff

    You guys seriously have to give us some insight as to why we have seen so many downtimes in the recent weeks/months.

    It is more than frustrating to experience an unpexpected downtime, wait hours and hours and hours for a fix (without being able to play), have it fixed (more often than not beyond the timeframe that I can spend playing) and never get any explanation whatsoever about what happened.

    Agreed. I've been playing MMO's since the late 90's and I have played many different MMOs in the intervening years. Downtown, even when it stretches on, doesn't annoy me much. It's just part of MMO life. However, when there are a lot of issues, it's a different story. When we start seeing a pattern, it's really a problem. Lately there has been more issues directly following a patch.

    At the very least, let the players know that's being looked into.

    Also: Warn the players before you take down the servers. It's not just polite but politic.

    Ok i am out... i am getting constantly pissed recently by ZoS and their customers services - eh i meant customers *** up.

    Servers laggy and down all the time.
    Rollbacks
    Lags and exploits and so on remain unpursued

    I'll go for another game for now.
    See you in a month (if your server hasn't exploded since then)

    **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!!!

    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.

    I'm not certain that this is true. It is certainly true that you do a good job of notifying players within game whenever there is the weekly scheduled maintenance, however, whenever there have been unscheduled maintenances such as this one, I do not recollect ever receiving an in game warning.

    It is also not logical to expedite a process 'to prevent further loss of progress' when expediting the process might cause far more people to lose their progress for whatever in game activity they were involved in.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    i commented on that post too, if you dislike that they are actually fixing the issue then stop paying for sub and be quiet. no one cares that you think you are owed anything. As for this being the "same" issue as last month like you claim it could be or it could be something else. we do not know what is causing the issues only ZOS knows. I -do- know how ever that running a mmo is not as easy as most of the people n here think it is.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno ....Are you serious? No warning, no countdown.....and don't say we posted it on the forums because naturally if you are in game doing a pledge, trial, DSA, etc. you are not going to say..."hey give me a minute guys, I need to check the forums to see if they are taking the servers down before we kill this last boss."

    At what point did you, ZOS, decide not to inform the players IN-GAME that the "Server is going down in 15 minutes"
