    Gina has a thread up on this in the Maintenance Announcements section - https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/366588/pc-mac-na-eu-downtime-8-16-10-40am-edt#latest

    That said, not everyone looks there without a reason so I think having a thread here in General is a great idea.

    That's why I did it. I wasn't just trying to be stupid or annoying. (and because I resent people who exploit things - it makes me sick and just ruins things for everyone)

    Hey while you guys are bringing the game down fixing an exploit why not fix other problems the patch caused as well like the controller bank ui issue, or treasure Hunter perk.

    That fix will be in the next incremental, not during this downtime.

    What is the exploit please @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

    Due to the nature of the exploit, we aren't able to divulge any details. That said, you can rest assured that we will be fixing it, and any accounts found to be abusing it will be taken care of.

    Please explain us once again, why downtime is done only when EU prime time is nearby? Few hours for fixing some exploit? Since when applying fixes takes so much time? You need to replace whole game data at servers or what?
    We certainly avoid taking the server offline during prime time, but in this case, the issue was serious enough to require us to apply a fix immediately.

    While doing that, make Linchal Grand Manor buyable :)
    When will it be on Sale?! ::)

    Sure, but if there is an EU server somewhere in EU why you won't set maintenances with EU time zones but you still keep it with NA time zones. Is this hard to share 2 different servers maintenance time between two different time zones?

    The broken thing was being exploited by the fictional DDoS attack that just happened to coincide with the PvP Event. :)
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    Any MMO server going down for unscheduled maintenance without much of a warning usually means the bug is very severe. I smell duplication bug.
    Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.

    I hope those who get the No death / speed of Vhf won't get banned ... Cause it's not our fault if we get them once Vhf completed . And i won't accept to get banned simply because i have finished a dungeon that i have paid for.

    btw, you can't say use the nature of the exploit , but can you say us if this is not about the Vhf achievement ?

    When that Treasure Hunter is fixed I'm gna be so happy. Really like how you're knuckled down fixing this stuff.

    Hi Gina. Can you confirm if the increased bounty players receive for killing Nobles and other "hard" NPCs after HotR was intended? I didn't read anything about it in the patch notes. I am not complaining about bounty or the justice system, I am just trying to find out if this was an intended change. Thanks for your time!
