Why would anyone waste their time reading the dev notes when it's the dev's responsibility to convey information to the user, not the other way around.

They should have posted clear messages, readily available in game and out what was going on, when, and why.

Yesterday's patch broke some quests so another maintenance today to fix what ZOS broke. ZOS is famous for this.

Hi everyone,

As some of you have reported, after today's PC/Mac incremental patch it is not possible to complete certain quests. We will be pushing a hotfix for this tomorrow morning at 6:00 AM EDT that will require a few hours of downtime. We are reverting the fix for the "A Cold Wind From the Mountain" quest as part of this hotfix. If you currently have a quest that you cannot complete due to this issue, you will need to abandon the quest and pick it back up after the hotfix is live.

We will post our usual hotfix messaging, forum banner, and login screen announcement to let everyone know about the hotfix maintenance. Thank you for your patience!

aw caome on why always the mainatnces screw up the days? Put your self together ZOS. And change the EU maintance to the night, in the daylight it is zero logic to steal the game time in the tracif bassis.

Anyone check out General Help section lately. Quite the issue going on which they seem to be actively removing evidence of from the General Discussion.

Does anyone know if they plan on fixing the stamina drain bug?

Blocking while not being attacked drains the stam pool exponentially. Haven't seen anything posted about that on the forums but I could have easily missed it as I'm not very active here.

Just curious if that will be fixed in the near future. It's quite an inconvenience.

So we are paying 1 month sub, barely play 25 days in a month. hmm.

Sex... Now our partners aren't stuck in front of their computers all day/night, and we can finally get some.

SEX!?! Forget that... Sleep, too tired to care about anything else...

And yet again good ole America First Zenimax deprive us Europeans of daylight playing time. Go on, Zenimax, once, just once, do a maintenance during our (European) night time.

@Cavedog .....

"They should have posted clear messages, readily available in game and out what was going on, when, and why." ..... They always post on the forums and not ingame .... never seen an ingame section for posting maintenance messages on what you request "what was going on, when, and why" ..... They did post this on the forums .....

The maintance was announced as usual, this is what started this thread. The specific reasons were posted by the Dev's in a thread on the discussion. The Dev Tracker would of shown this information if the OP would of taken the time to research. But no, they decided to start a thread asking a question that had been answered by the Dev's .....

The Dev's respond to an issue once, this is typical. They do not post the same answer in multiple threads as the tools are available to find previous answers by the Dev's. If there are 10+ posts on the same issue requesting a response from the Dev's that has already been answered they do not take the time. The forums offer a search and a dev tracker tools for all forum members .....

It is a shame more do not use it and clutter the forums up with posts that have been answered, then wasting peoples time .....

My favorite is the whining posts on why they cannot get an answer from the Dev's when they have already responded to the same question/issue in another thread .....

Then again it is always lack of communications from the Dev's because the person whining never took the time to search on their issue ......
