You wait like everyone else..?

Mitrenga

The new patch needs to be patched in order to fix the problems introduced in the latest patch.

Meh...everything isn't borked. I'm truly curious as to what went wonky this time. I did notice that right before the announcement that the store abruptly shut down.

both, eu/na?

There's an xp bug where players don't get xp at times if they're fighting together or something. Just had to leave the NA server because they're fixing it now over there.

MW2K

XP exploiting, I believe.

DTStormfox

I've heard shareholders pushed the developer team to release a patch filled with bugs. (rumours in chat during the short uptime)
In other words: 'Rather make the deadline and keep investors happy, than actually delivering a consumer-friendly product and service.' (not an actual quote from a ZOS official)

Probably this.

DieAlteHexe

Thank you for the reasonable answers @RobZha and @MW2K

I think I'm all out of patience for today so, cup of tea, feet up and watch the reactions. Tomorrow will hopefully see it all sorted.

It’s up, it’s down, it’s up again, this is worse than a drunks underwear

People here on EU are searching for XP farm FAST (quote)
I hope Zenimax will identify all these exploiters and punishes them properly.
Yet instead, a rollback would probably be the best solution.

This is called Professional Services. Thousands of players getting screwed cuz dev team did not test game patch properly before release. Elder Scrolls Merchandise is losing cuz of such unprofessional moves. Every damn DLC they replay this scenario.

RobZha

Well now I've truly got no ESO with both servers being down. It was fun for a while I suppose. Got my NA char to level 10 and got a free mount as EU was gone, that was cool. Time to see what that real life thing is like for a while then.

Probably wont happen tough. Atleast it didn't back when enlightment was bugged and people grinded Skyreach for insane amounts of CP.

It just was too good to be true - I go online, see that there is a patch for the patch, it downloads, I start, login screen fine with announcement of it being "live", logging in ..... loading screen takes an eternity .... I get curious what can't be right ... character screen comes up, hm, let's see, I choose my Argonian .... character loading screen takes an eternity ... finally, the region is loaded ... I see the crown store features window ... I want to start playing - server will be shut down in a minute ... wtf!!!

I tried to made it to the quick xp thingy but didn't get there on time

ZOS screwed up, they should fix it. Nobody should be punished except ZOS. Rollback is the best way to go. Otherwise I call *** if everyone is running around with max CP except me. Give me my money back! Argghhhh!

mouton

I played 10 minutes ! Yeah !

agrr70

My entitled snowflake is butthurt

Ulo

Managed to get my writs done before the server went down so i got my priorities right :P

Methariorn

Please ZOS use some of the money from subscritions to buy food for the server's hamsters

Identical story for me haha. Minus the argonian.

Latonia

I guess no-one should be shocked or disapppointed but I am. This happens practically every single update. Maybe ZOS has not heard of testing before updating? A strange concept to them, it seems.

One thing which did make me laugh, I heard that for about 5 minutes, a house was on sale for 1 crown. They obviously soon realized and closed the store down but I wonder if anyone bought one for that price and if so, will ZOS let them keep it

From Bethesda Support's Twitter:

We are bringing down the PC/Mac @TESOnline servers at 3:20pm EST / 8:20pm GMT to address an issue with in-game XP gains. Expected downtime is a few hours. Please watch here for updates, and thank you for your patience. #ESO

I've only managed to do daily writs and respec my Champion Points.
I'm so done.

Xoelarasizerer

Meanwhile, all day the launcher has been freezing up at applying patch at around 28300mb-28700mb remaining mark (of both 43% and 28% of the patch in the two attempts of getting the update) and locking up my machine.

Not a good day to be a EU player at all.

notyuu

The server literally just went up, had barely enough time to complete one supercharged superspeed fang lair and then they immeditly go down for maintaince....

I'm going to be rather frank about this, your fuckups as a dev have cost me and many other subscribers a day of game-time that we PAY for, so.. eaither give that day back by extend eso+ membership on all eso+members on the eu-pc server by 1 day or by giving us the equivalent in crowns/gold/crates for the wasted time

Peekachu99

Annoyed if I have to redo all my outfits (took three hours).

jasann

Looks like it is time for a change
