Omg do them once a month, every time you do a maintenance you break the game and just to make a few fixes. Please for love of Akatosh stop the weekly maintenance.

    Servers won't crash if they don't do maintenaces ok maybe it will after a very long time without maintenance but that's actually what happens when they do, so if its going to crash anyways then at least it will be without the patching downtime and then they can patch when they actually need to, we get double patching time now

    I wonder, this maintenances are to fix the game, or to prevent it to crash once and for all?

    The truth is that you don't actually know that. Just as the previous poster doesn't actually know about the databases becoming inconsistent.

    We don't know what ZOS's backend architecture is, or what is going on during their maintenance periods. Claiming to just makes you look foolish.

    *zos actually listens to you, then you complain why the game is laggy/unstable/whatever then*

    Nah 1 month u think i want to play with 999 all the time. Every day 1 hour like EVE does and it would be great, but i guess it would cost more money.

    "In response to the ongoing issue, the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers will be taken offline for maintenance."


    Your reasoning is off, brother... First you complain about being forced to pvp for 2 hours, now that. It's getting annoying, don't become the next champ thread spammer.

    When i find an issue I talk about it, that's what forums are for. Defending everything is actually getting annoying

    Please do so. WHEN you find an issue. At the moment you are venting for nothing. Maintainance is needed and explained why they do it now. People actually demanded it after the innoumerous rollbacks today.

    Folks that are outraged with every minor inconvenience is far more annoying.

    you call it outrage, yet I made a very simple recommendation, I don't see why you are so annoyed, I am free to share my opinion even if it disagrees with yours

    Of course you could have 5 megaservers.

    PS4
    XB1
    STANDBY/patch/multi-platform

    24/7 uptime and instant fallback
    If the patch server is stable then you can upgrade the main server and switch.
    If the patch server fails, fall back to the main server, fix and try again.

    Logging onto the forums and counting how many weird, wonderful, and just plain wrong ways of spelling 'maintenance' there are.

    Did I ask you to stop? Nope.
    Of course you are free to share your opinion. And I am also free to ridicule it. This is how free speech works.

    Also, I'm not annoyed. Snowflakery amuses me. :smile:

    This would be silly, because the middle of the night varies for people all over the world who play ESO, when there is a maintenance, it has to be done, the game has a ridiculous amount of down time, and yes as frustrating an annoying as it is it HAS to be done. So instead of complaining I have learned to grit your teeth and bare it....and sent ridiculous gifs.

    Not in europe, everyone on the EU server has the middle of the night at the same time. Other games do their maintenance at 3 or 4 am in the morning too.
    Also why not complain? If I order a pizza and it comes 6 hours too late, you can be sure I would complain. This game is just a company providing a service as any other. I never understood how gamers would just take customer abuse like this all the time and then even go and defend it.

    Wow.. can you be more ignorant

    Almost all major mmo's do server maintenance weekly.. and yes server can become unstable and shut done if you do not do the maintenance... even more stable mmos then ESO do it. Maybe you should educate yourself about why and the effects of not doing it before running you mouth off...

    Because where you live is the most important place in the world? Please don't make it in the middle of the night- the time and day is fine as it currently is.
