How are you coping?

ramenwaifu

Since all this maintenance and whatnot is happening, I’ve noticed the flood of threads complaining about how the event is unplayable. And a lot of negativity towards ZOS. So, without being negative or taking a rude stance/complaining, how are you dealing with all this? Are you praying that the servers will be fixed? Quitting ESO forever? Taking a nap? Complaining in the forums? (won’t be mad if you say this haha)

Philosophically. Stuff happens. It's irritating but I learned long ago not to get pissed off, it doesn't help. I am dying of curiosity as to WHY this is all happening, though.

I don't care. It's a game. There are more important things to worry about.

Like... what will you have for dinner?

I'm drawing... and being bored. Feeling bad I'm losing my chance to expand my motif collection.

It's just fine with me. Any online service can have problems. And... it's just a game, you know. Just pictures.

Several years ago there was an Internet catastrophy in my city - 4 days with no Internet at all. Imagine all those banks, shops and etc. How were they coping? How I was coping, provided that I was a freelancer that time, and all my work was through Internet? We coped just well, you know, and noone was yelling in the streets that the end of times has come.

What I see here? Just this: people yelling about end of times because of the... game.

Ah yes, I agree, undoubtedly the most important question in the world. Food always helps.

I haven’t had any issues either but I am curious to know how people are doing haha. And I wont give you salt, hopefully no one else does either. There’s no point in being salty tbh, it is what it is and you can’t always get what you want.

Been around long enough to know they will get it sorted and just using the forums to have a little fun while we wait

Playing RL-Offline. It's really nice with the seasonal Spring: Sunshine & Warm Wind event.

Drawing can always be therapeutic, I would do that but now it just stresses me out haha. As for motifs, I’m not so familiar with them so I’m not too worried about that aspect personaly.

Just listening to some dagothwave music while the server is down. As you do...

Ooh interesting, personally never had an interest in that game but events are always cool.

I do my stuff in the morning, before the flood of players come on and the server gets unplayable.

This way I can do my Dailies in peace, and on the afternoon / evening I can do whatever i want xD

Smart, wish i could do that, but either way i don’t have many issues with the game in general. i just havent had much time to actually play this week

Civ6 and Mankind Divided.

Once you're mature enough (not necessarily old) you find that things beyond your control aren't worth screaming, shouting and getting mad over. Sure it's annoying and frustrating and the lack of a detailed explanation doesn't help, but you move on and find something else to do or accept that it just is.

If this is all you have or all of why you need then it's addiction, or fixation, and should probably serve as an alarm bell for your situation.

But it won't, and that's why nothing changes.

I've been playing ARK on Xbox One, while trying to connect to ESO every once in a while (On PC) to see if my ''connectivity issue'' were affecting anything besides ESO. It's really sad when a game made by Wildcard is having less issues than ESO (Previously I'd always jump to ESO when ARK was derping out).

Oooh servers are down? Lucky me I got my dailies done and am getting my home ready to sell. Muwaahahahaha.

people forget. they dont have to do ANYTHING for an anniversary event, people are ungrateful

Dodgy sleep schedule a few days ago. Slept past all the server issues

Been a little busy with events irl yesterday. Skipped past the server issues

And today my PC (gpu) stopped working after a power surge, so my monitor would say no signal, tried everything un/re plugging it, swapping monitors etc, different cables, unplugging gpu inside, nothing... Then randomly started working, so I skipped all the server problems.

Fate saved me from server issues.

Philosophically, I don't have that much time after I get in from work to actually relax and play ESO so it's a bit of a pain to be honest.

But life is too short to be running about with my hands in the air. Confident ESO will sort this and see us right.

I’m coping by taking online classes. Zos’ negligence with this event has forced me to better myself. I demand compensation!

At least you’re getting it done

compensation would be nice

I'm on NA so the worst I'mg getting is frequent disconnects, but I do think ZoS should extend the holiday for EU a few days.

I too would love to know what this all about. For the rest I have a stack of books sitting on the nightstand that I haven't read yet. I just get one of them and a cup of coffee till I can play again.

Well at this rate half of the anniversary event was not available to EU.

Icy_Waffles

This is partly due to my time zone, but i work regular daytime hours. Im gone from home from 430 am and get home around 530pm. I have been fortunate to not have had to deal with this.

The times I have experienced it, I just find other things to do and I dont stress. If anything, the event shoupd be extended perhaps.
