Maintenance for the week of January 20:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – January 20
• NA megaservers for maintenance – January 22, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 9:00AM EST (14:00 UTC)
• EU megaservers for maintenance – January 22, 9:00 UTC (4:00AM EST) - 14:00 UTC (9:00AM EST)

Do We Deserve Another Day of the Event?

One day of the event is being taken from us because of maintenance. Considering the event comes once a year and doesn't last very many days, I consider this very unfair. I believe it would be correct for ZOS to now give us one additional event day in order to make up for this lost event day. It is only fair. What do you think?

    I personally don’t see the harm in an additional day. Why not extend it a tad bit longer?

    I’d assume the days missed are accounted for in their original date. So my “no” is based on your faulty premise. Otherwise; of course I would like more time with the goodies, as most people would and why your poll results will be biased.

    I’m not completely against it, but people shouldn’t feel entitled to automatically getting sub or event time refunded for maintenance. If Zeni decides to do it then tats fine, but the TOS clearly states that they aren’t required to do so by any means

    One day? It’s a few hours at best. The achievement takes a day to complete, two at best. 3-4 if you have to work all week. This is not even close to being worthy of an extension.

    Do you want more days to be taken from it too, or only 1? Just trying to understand your position, that's all. :)

    Lol @ people like this. How pathetic

    There are no days taken from you. We always know when maintenance is. We knew this one was coming before witches festival was announced.

    Don't blame zos because your parents raised an ignorant fool

    Is there a bug that is preventing completion of any part of the event? No. Do we deserve and extra day for downtime that we knew of prior to the event being announced? No. Are you acting like an entitled child and presenting a bias poll? Yes.

    In the past, launch day maintenance have generally been pretty short. You'll lose a quarter of a day. Not a day.

    Also, they already chopped a whole week off of the official duration this year compared to last year (this is not counting last year's extension due to an achievement bug). So it doesn't seem like ZOS is in a particularly generous mood this year.

    If you are in-game the entire Witches Festival, soaking up every last bit of exp possible and hoarding ALL the plunder skulls, then I can see where the loss of time for maintenance could be gravely harmful for your progression.

    Otherwise, let's be honest, we lose much more time in the festival in order to sleep.



    (Now, yes, I understand that this maintenance hits players in certain time zones worse than it does others, as maintenance schedules usually do. That sucks, and you have my condolences.)

    pretty much, it's easy for you to say when you're not affected by the loss. That's all I'm saying.

    It's "a few hours" if you're in the EU timezone. In AU/NZ maintenance happens right at prime playing time. For me that's 7pm, and I'm very unlikely to be able to login afterwards because it's then bedtime. Coupled with the fact I have to work all day, every day, yeah, that's an event day I'm going to be missing.

    It does affect me. To say it doesn’t is presumptuous. I guess I just don’t feel like I need any sort of compensation for maintainence/patch downtime. The “no” on the poll is just too passive aggressive, I think. It would be nice to have just a “yes”, “no”, and “other” to remove bias. *shrug*
