Based on the old maintenance windows, the NA servers would be going down basically at this time anyway, while the EU maint was performed late night/early morning for EU.service the servers separately... problem solved. Why is that impossible for a company as large as ZOS?
All that money and they can't even do *that* ??
Give me a break. Give me. a. break.
Here on the west coast we are getting screwed by the scheduling of the maintenance.
As an Aussie being affected by this, I'm still going to admit that despite your claims of 'tons of people' being online now, it's actually the least populated timeslot of the game.
So I will say this for the NA SERVER , here in NA aka the U.S. we have PST and EDT which are 3 hours apart from eachother. Of course we have other time zones, such as central but no time zone is more than 3 hours apart from another... besides Hawaii... which nobody cares. It's an island with very few people
I have not done research on which time truly has the least amount of people on in NA, but I would be surprised if it was night time because, that is the best time to play. At night.
The optimal time for maintenance for NA (Not talking about EU, they should have their own schedule because their time zones are drastically different), would be somewhere closer to 6:00 AM Pacific. If you do 6:00 AM PST you are doing it when everyone is at work. I have to say that would be better for everyone.
So you basically think ZOS should base their entire schedule on you and your own personal needs because it's most convenient for you? Disregarding every single person in NA who does not play at night(it's actually low time on NA btw. All my guilds have less people, my friendlist has least people, PvP is emptiest and it takes forever to find groups for dungeons. So Idk about you but for most people your night is obviously not the best time to play) and every single person who is not from NA but plays on NA(which is a lot btw).
This is not how a multi-thousand people service works. Well, unless you're the main sponsor. If you give ZOS enough money to outshine thousands and thousands of players who do not find this time "best" then we might be onto something. But something makes me think this is not the case...0 -

I assume you're mad because I proved the haters wrong by coming up with an OBJECTIVELY better maintenance time for the NA server of 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EDT. The perfect time.
Actually I'll have you know that this is a patch. Meaning that if they do NA and EU at different times, Let say NA first, that means the client would update so you can play... However! Because the client was updated, I wouldn't be able to log onto the EU server because it hasn't been updated yet.
IE. The downtime has to be the same for BOTH NA and EU, as they use the sames files. Stop trying to sound smart and think of a better excuse for this sadly pathetic thread.Roleplay Character - Caylee Vesari

drakhan2002_ESO✭✭✭✭✭You do realize they post the maintenance schedule on the front page of the forums - this announcement was made yesterday that there would be downtime today - did you not read the notice? ...it should not come as a surprise to you when a new Chapter (expansion) or DLC comes out the may need to fine tune the rollout on the servers. This is part of online gaming.
Over time these short maintenance windows will make your gaming experience more stable. While I do understand your frustration at not getting your gaming "fix", I assure you that the game will be playable soon...Edited by drakhan2002_ESO on May 24, 2017 11:00AM1 -

Smaxx✭✭✭✭✭If you think about it, the time frame is the perfect maintenance time, because if things go wrong, they've got all their regular staff coming in to work, able to look into things and get it fixed ASAP. if they'd pick a different schedule, they might have to call in people during the night or (worse) keep the server down for half a day or even longer.
Not to forget that in some European countries (remember the EU megaserver) you'll have to pay an additional 50% or 100% wages depending on the day and time of the day someone has to work, if it isn't their regular working hour.3 -

It's unbelievable.
What about the people who play at night time I think there are a lot of us?
Why don't you do it during the day when people are at work or better yet, roll out content that is tested so we don't have to be in this constant state of maintenance.
I barely have any playtime because there is so much maintenance practically every day. And if it isn't maintenance it's a DDoS, or * add in excuse here why the servers are down this time*.
It's just unbelievable. What's the point of spending all this money on a game and expansions if the servers are always down.
Definitely not a vet gamer. This is normal after a major update to any game. At least they're putting in a fix within 2 days instead of waiting a week or two, and wait for normal maintenance days. I'm fine giving up a few hours of game time if it means making the game playable. Would you rather have a broken game?
You don't know what it's like losing a day every day on SUNDAY because of maintenance they do it at night when tons of people are playing, such as myself.
And then they add in more days like today and I bet there will be more this week.
Why don't you tell me why I should spend hundreds of dollars on a game that can never be played?
I assume you play during the day (when most are at work). So you probably aren't affected by the maintenance.
Technically, you're not losing time on SUNDAY. 4 AM Eastern is 1 AM Pacific. So Monday maintenance is on Monday even if it's 1 AM. In case you didn't notice, there's a post here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/75114/regular-maintenance-days-times#latest that's been there for the last 3 years. So you can't say that you weren't notified before spending your hundreds of dollars.
I've been playing MMO's since before they were called MMO's (21 years). I've played many games over the years at different times of the day, so don't assume anything about me. I currently get in an hour or so in the early mornings (6-7 AM Eastern and about an hour, or so, in the evenings. So yeah, maintenance affects my game time. But as I said, I'm fine giving up some game time so that the game is playable.2 -

Ceram✭✭I'm a casual player and got the game April 1st 2014. I've been playing now and then during the years and always been amazed over the frequent maintenance. Also how many hours it takes each time. And I'm comparing to other online games I've been involved in. I'm afraid it pushes players away from TESO to other online worlds.
So after have been a beta tester for Morrowind I'm actually a bit surprised they still have to fix a lot. Someone at Zenimax is not doing their homework.
Hopefully Morrowind will run fine June 6th at release.0 -

If you can be pushed away to another game by a few hours of maintenance a week, you're probably not that into it anyway. Yes, I do get frustrated sometimes by buggy patches and the occasional off-schedule maintenance to sort out whatever got ballsed up in the scheduled maintenance, but if in those few hours I got lured off into another game, then maybe this wasn't the right place for me to start with.
I'm not someone who has any particular love for Zeni, but although a lot of people often talk about these other games that they go off and play, I don't see anything that I'd like as much. I'd rather wait a few hours for ESO server to come back online

That little sleep isn't healthy :PI have not done research on which time truly has the least amount of people on in NA, but I would be surprised if it was night time because, that is the best time to play. At night.I assume you're mad because I proved the haters wrong by coming up with an OBJECTIVELY better maintenance time for the NA server of 6:00 AM PST / 9:00 AM EDT. The perfect time.
How can you say you objectively provided a better timeslot when all you have is the subjective anecdotal viewpoint that you feel that 3am pacific has more people online than other times. ZOS have population figures. They would know how many people are affected by a 6a-9a EDT maint slot vs a 9a-12p EDT slot.
That may be true but it is really shocking to me. I'm surprised so many people are able to play during the afternoon. How do you get money without a job? lol
For some of us things are just starting to get good at 1:00 AM.
If you ask me this is the best time to play. Right now. But unfortunately that is not always possible.
Which is why this thread had to be made .1 -

To be honest, if you've played on and off since 2014, I'm surprised you're still surprised that things are awfully broken after a PTS cycle and new update.I'm a casual player and got the game April 1st 2014. I've been playing now and then during the years and always been amazed over the frequent maintenance. Also how many hours it takes each time. And I'm comparing to other online games I've been involved in. I'm afraid it pushes players away from TESO to other online worlds.

trust me if I could play video games all day without having to work I'd probably take it. Many of you must be living 'the life' then.
Just completely mindblown - if you are ever in hospital in the middle of the night, who do you think would be caring for you? Robots? Or perhaps people who do a very valuable job but just happen to get home at lunchtime after a 12 hour shift and think the perfectly human thought "hmm, maybe after a long shift at work I will fire up a game and crack open a beer and kick back for 2 hours before I have to be in bed ready for my next 12 hour night shift of caring for people who don't value me because I am not at work in the afternoons?"

✭✭✭This will contain several improvements for the current issue where you’re unable to queue for a Battleground while in a group. We expect this maintenance to last approximately 3 hours.
Where is this battleground?
Why can't this wait until next Sunday?
Why can't these players go without? We are...
I'm not.Aussies getting screwed is nothing new. We're used to it by now
This battlegrounds are in Vvardenfell. It cannot wait until next Sunday because it's one of the main selling points of this expansion/dlc/whatever and it's awfully broken right now.
These players can't go without because many of them actually bought Morrowind solely for Battlegrounds.
Fixes now>>>fixes later. And I haven't even tried Battlegrounds yet btw, nor am I sure I will try them any time soon. Fixes are still good.
And yes, unfortunately their maint is at Aus prime time(the usual Monday maint). It sucks but it is what it is.0 -

This has been a very big week and much has gone very smoothly. Much more so than many they expected yes.
These things they happen. Read a book, take a nap or chase some yarn.
All will be well and you will be travelling again soon.

Smoothly, you say?
I didn't buy Morrowind or acquire it any other way. Yet Morrowind has borked my gameplay and cost me three nights lost time (I spent last night re-installing after realising that I have the strength of a limp lettuce).
I also doesn't get released until 1 June.
So I am still somewhat confused by how, a game that hasn't been released and that I won't be buying, can impact so severely on the game that I paid over $700 for. Yes, I buy Crown Crates and actively contribute to the MAINTENANCE FUND. perhaps if everyone did, we'd all be complaining.
I got suspenders for saying "Testicular Mass" instead of "Balls". like, rilly.0
