Steam account can't login: "Server connection timed out please try again later"

    This is somekind of a bad joke from ZOS!
    I mean we are nearly 12 hours mark and we cant play the game.

    Would you be so kind to do some reading? Everything was already explicitly explained by Gina.
    And everything IS said about fixing: they're fixing it right now.

    Hello friend could you give link to details?

    i don't think there's any detail, no explanation has been given about why this is happening, i checked the dev tracker.

    what has been explained? all i see is that when we have an eta we will let you know , while i asked also for an official explanation for this major issue today. maybe would you be so kind to read my request?

    Oh, I see you're so special, that you need the direct explanation... Well, we, the humble crowd, have already seen the message from Gina. But as for you, Your Majesty, you can stay waiting for a personal one.

    lol warrior there's no need to get acid and troll nor you are the official defender of the staff here, all i asked was politely for a specific explanation about why this is happening since none has been given, it's not personal, if it was personal it would have not been on a public board. when i feel i want a comment from you i'll let you know

    I know but an update after 12 hours maintenance is all we need.

    Even I really would want to play, my day off´s and all, but tbh, I kinda feel for them, they probably not siting and just sip coffee. Im shure they trying to fix it and situation make them mad as well, I really hope they get top of it, those downtimes do no good for game community. I would love to be able to log in but I can find other things to untill they fix issue.

    You messed it up. Potato is the Zenimax servers, whilst the plug is Steam. The issue is with this game afterall, its just ZOS not being able to make it fully compatible.

    I don´t know, why is everyone bashing Steam ? Steam hasn´t done a "mandatory database maintenance" for 8 hours, so why blame them ? The Only Database afflicted is ZOS-Server Databases....

    I'm not bashing steam, but I'm frustrated, because If I have bought ESO from website instead of Steam, I would be playing right now. No matter If it's steam's fault or zeni's, I just regret my decision, because I didn't know that there would be issues.

    because people always feel a compulsion to blame someone.

    If ESO is down obviously steam is not going to work people

    I don't play ESO through Steam and I'm sorry to hear that Steam players can't login to ESO.
    I found it weird that Steam stats doesn't reflect that all players can't login.
    What is this about ?
    Is it fixed ?
