Yeah but can the people that ordered the physical edition get into Summerset on Monday before the mail gets delivered?
No, but it'll take a while for the thing to patch so I wouldn't worry about it too much.PC/NA: Primarily Daggerfall Covenant.

✭Do we know yet what time Summerset will be released on Monday 5/21 or when the maintenance starts? I'm considering taking a vacation day for it but don't want to waste it if we won't get it until the afternoon. Does anyone remember what time Morrowind was available on its release day?
Ah i see, you're more or less new player, impatien and maybe a bit of a dreamer. That's ok. But i have bad news for you.
Take it from the veteran from -14. Don't get your hopes up of spending nice evening playing ESO after major patch.

✭Yet again, PC gets extra weeks of headstart, while Console gets the shaft. Love how pretty much every other game manages to give the same stuff to both PC and Console on the same schedule... unless you consider games like Neverwinter... but, really, do they honestly want to be compared equally with those guys?? The excuse last year was the vetting process on Xbox causes the delay... ok, well, they had a year to plan for that obstacle, and yet, here we are again! They still do not care a bit, and on top of it, they have the twitch crates for PC only... so many benefits for playing on PC, would be nice to be able to play there, but, I can't because of my hands - need a controller for playing. So... when will they discover that Console deserves as much reward as PC does?
Thats not console getting shafted thats console getting the game a year and a half after PC, it mean't that development needed a shift and so because PC content is always a few months or weeks even in front of console in terms of content development the console team will be a bit further behind. Just how it is.
Also the vetting process is very much a thing, some content gets delayed by months or even weeks with other games including games like overwatch due too that very same process.
As for the twitch crates non of us like it one bit so honestly complaining about that is somewhat silly.
You can use a controller on PC xbox controllers and others are fully compatible.
Btw, no, wrong on the why. They have stated that the only reason PC gets the headstart of a couple of weeks is because Microsoft has the game review/vetting process. This tells me that they plan poorly, because they are a big major company, they should know this happens, and allow for it, whether that is hold the game back until it is ready on all platforms and THEN give a headstart (which if they did so, we would never notice, because it is all done behind the scenes), or give PC the headstart then give Console something else to make up for that, or charge Console less since we GET less.
There are several ways to handle this with class and style, to show players that they actually DO care about their business, they continue to choose otherwise (check out the Twitch crates - only on PC; benefits for purchasing expansions on Legends - only on PC, etc). The last time I played on PC I was told they had no plans to implement controller support, so I moved to Xbox and have everything built up there (including social network). I'd love to play on PC if I could actually have all that I have worked hard for (and spent a lot of money for) moved back over now that they have controller support that they said would not be happening (so, yet again, not my fault, and I am STILL a paying customer).
But, I have quit Legends because of the stupid BS around their very obvious love for their PC playerbase. Btw, I probably would not ever even make a purchase on Twitch (to get the crates), but I still lobby against that crap, because it isn't right. They claim only for PC "At this time", but every time they say "at this time"? It results in "Never" for console. That's almost blatantly misleading, because the usage and statement of "at this time" implies it WILL become available for the others. And misleading in business talk is called "false advertising" after it is done enough to have a history...
I just want all platforms treated fairly and equally. They all pay the same, they should all receive equal worth for that money. Once again, check what THEY have told us, before claiming it is because of something else... they contradict what you are claiming.
I commented as knowing what the general practice in the industry is and I assumed it was the same here nothing more the same happens in reverse with games that were on console first. No need to get all high and mighty about it.
Oh and just so you know, ZOSs "word" unfortunately isn't good enough as a "they said this" argument as there have been plenty of times where they've said one thing and something else was actually going on or said one thing and done another. At least not on this forum.Edited by xeNNNNN on May 17, 2018 5:14PMAh, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right.0 -

I am joking of course though I do hope it goes as smoothly you're hoping.

+1 to this question.

that is fantastic! because chances are, even with prime delivery, it will take me a few days to get my hands on the actual box, cause half the time USPS refuses to deliver down our street (we have dirt road)dirty worthless casual.

oh its not so bad, UPS and Fedex still deliver with no issues. its just USPS that is special. post office is near by anyways, but even if I just ask them to hold it, wouldn't be able to make it there until Wednesday, so... yeah...

At time of writing it is coming up to 00:00 UK and 19:00 EDT. That's the UK 5 hours ahead of EDT just now and I konw Germany for example is UK time +1 hour (family in Paderborn). So;
EDT 04:00 will be 09:00 UK and EU times will vary accordingly. If both servers are handled together, we could see EU access late morning or early afternoon in the EU. I'm also guessing that this will probably not be true and do not expect to get into EU server until late afternoon to mid evening at best (from EU).
Of course, much of the issue relies not only on server availability. We all will need to download Summerset. If we could download a day or so before Summerset goes live this would, possibly, be helpful. I guess, again, that launch day downloads for many will be more like launch week downloads (I jest not) especially for those in the EU or using EU server. With recent history in mind, Zos need to get Summerset launch to work flawlessly or as near to for EU customers. I do not like to being negative but that recent history between Zos and EU users has set a bad precedent.

Actually it was. And I answered it fully. Maybe i went in to too much detail for you but I did answer the question. The EDT thing is particularly pertinent in relation to what Gina wrote earlier and the difference between EDT and EU time zones. The download part, although not strictly needed is there to point out what should be bleedin' obvious and the Zos / EU history thing is fair warning to those that may not have been involved but could be affected if history does that repetition thing.
I gave my estimates on when Summerset may be available server side (as you kind of asked) or playable (as is realistic) based on past experience, knowledge of time zones and other factors
You are welcome!
