More maintenance ?

Is there really ANOTHER round of scheduled outages? I appreciate that the event has been extended, but surely some “mandatory database maintenance” can wait until the next scheduled window? Quite unbelievable really.

Yep, extremely frustrating. I've said this in another thread, but I'll say it here, too. Why on earth can't they do this during normal business hours (NA) when the vast majority of people are at work? "Based on player feedback" is what I've read, but there's no where to give any feedback. lol1 -
PunkAben✭✭✭3 maintain in a week and the week is not over so maybe we can have more ?
It is to much !
If you can't control the game maybe get professional help from some who can make games like Blizard.
I thinks it could be nice for all so we could have a game with not all this loading screen and less bugs and errors in game.

from what i've heard, blizzard also has some issues with its servers in general...
but anyways, it is what it is, and things happen. yes, it may be frustrating to have to endure all this waiting, and not everyone has the patience for it, but lets try and think how hard the team has been working to satisfy us throughout today and the week.NA PSN: Abymeng's waifu✽ Thottie I Magplar I AD

They sure did, to the tune of nearly a month of compensation. I have to laugh every time I see this sort of post. Blizz had some really rocky times. Most MMOs do.

Cuwen✭✭✭Ah. Thank you for the info! Did you all experience NA downtime yesterday, too? My friend and I did, though we were able to play just fine on the EU server.0 -

I get it, but I’m afraid complaining is all I have. Given the sheer number of issues over the past two weeks, and given how much I pay for the service, I feel I’m entitled to vent a little frustration.
I’m very appreciative that the event was extended, but let’s be honest: the event does not equate in any way to the real world cash that I spend to be able to play. This isn’t some overblown sense of entitlement, it’s simply about wanting to realise the service that I pay for (as I would in any other walk of life). If I were in a restaurant and the service was poor, I’d complain; there would be an expectation that I shouldn’t have to pay as much for poor service as I would for good.
Overall, I really do think the guys any ZoS do a great job and they have produced a great game. That’s said, we have experienced server issues for way too long and it really is about time paying customers were treated to an explanation and a lasting fix.0 -

✭as I see it, due to the fact the servers are 24/7 available, it is absolut okay to use a few hours for maintance,
like that more then downtime due to any issues.
but yeah there will always be ppl who have just then their timewindow to play, and will complain, that is just natural.0 -

Same for the eu by the look of it. Which kind of makes my point. Multiple unscheduled server downtime, and not even at times that were notified.

Ah, the arguing of how one phrases or chooses to use a word. That part where the original argument is lost and new ones must be found.

ZoS Lawyer or Community Ambassador ?
I do not go much into the forum but every time I read you, it is always defending ZoS in some way.
Nestor always helping and giving information like MissBizz an the cat girl, cant remember his name.
Do not get me wrong, I usually agree on what you say (Like this, few hours is nothing) but the only thing you do is defend ZoS, as if they needed it.
Just curious.2 -

I was going to log in any way and I (like many others) was especially frustrated with the downtimes because they interrupted an event.

ZOS did something they didn't have to do in a way of making up for issues, this isn't something common for them either so sure I am going to be happy with them seeing we were upset about losing time during the event and giving us more.
They could have just ignored us, they didn't, I get some extra XP farming time and event boxes, that's cool with me.

I in no way have the level of intelligence required to be a lawyer, I would have thought my forums posting gave that much away at least (I lose a lot of debates).
I do defend ZOS a lot, mostly because the level of abuse they get I often feel is unwarranted. I understand peoples frustrations with the game, I agree the game has issues and a lot of my posts reflect that.
However I also don't generally think it's fair to disrespect developers (they're people too), I hate people who have nothing to do on a forums but be toxic, I dislike the spreading of misinformation and I love to debate people who do such things.
I've also done this long before I was ever a CA, I was also like these people for a time and complained, threatened to unsub, even took a six month break at one point. When I came back I took a new approach to ESO, I took the game for what it was, stopped worrying about what it wasn't and started to have fun again.
The thing is once you get a CA on your name people suddenly forget everything else about you. Suddenly you're no longer allowed an opinion, especially if you happen to have one contrary to their own. And clearly if you think ZOS did something good then you're on their books.
I have close to 15,000 posts on the forums. If people only ever read the drama and rage threads (and let's be honest they're the most fun) then yes you're going to see me defending ZOS a lot.
If you read the ones about how botting, exploiting, lack of communication, push towards weaving etc. you'll see me speak of the things I dislike about ZOS or ESO.
If you read threads where people ask for help I normally do my best to help in them or tag someone who is wiser than me on the topic.
People can take me and my posting the way they want. If it helps people sleep at night thinking I am a ZOS lawyer then good for them, I'll just be here trash posting and enjoying life.
TL;DR I post too much and yes sometimes I argue with people I disagree with.
Edit: I am also super annoyed at myself I didn't just post that "OBJECTION!" meme instead of trying to be constructive. I would have farmed way more Awesome points.
