Maintenance Timer

Dirtybyrd

About what time is the server coming back up? I was in the middle of buying the Crown Store "FURNISHING PACK: TRAPPINGS OF MEPHALA WORSHIP" So I am waiting up so I can grab it before it's gone

Well maintenance never really has the same time amount each time so it's hard to make a prediction. Since there's been a lot of server issues which I assume they're currently addressing, it might take a while depending on what addressing it entails.

Is the game inherently broken ?
Since I started playing this game, every week there is "maintenance" for hours on end. Cant think of any other mmo that I have played that has this much maintenance

They do a maintenance every week to make improvements and any hotfixes, it's a system that works honestly. Instead of setting random dates for hotfixes and/or improvements, they put a set date and time (Mondays at 4 EST) to let everyone know this is when there will be maintenance.

What Zac said.. It works I am just hoping it will come up before the timer runs out on the pack. And maybe if it do because of the maintenance they will give us more time to get it

Frankly speaking, yes many things are broken. Things which have been talked about for years.

If you think eso is broken you have not been playing other mmorpgs. The fact that eso is as big as it is and runs better than it's competition is pretty f*ing amazing. Half the people who complain are probably trying to run this game at a laundry mat on a borrowed laptop. The rest wouldn't know what an ethernet cord was if it was a snake and bit them, let alone what "system specs" mean. Or driver. Or update it. Or gaming computers are bought to run games but secretary computers are for emailing your boss.

Yeah so many of this games "problems" are because people play on either old slow machines or unreliable internet connections.

I know all those things. But I still complain. Why? Because I like to whine and complain. It's fun. Whenever there isn't something to complain about, I complain about that. And I'm not alone. In any forum of any MMO you get serial forum complainers. And those that complain about the complainers. Kinda like you just did. Some people play ESO by doing quests and stuff. And some people buy MMOs to sit in the forums and complain.

You are wrong. Been gaming for 20 years and played several MMOs longer than ESO has even been out. ESO stands out for its poor performance, regardless of computer build. Name another mainstream MMO that consistently performs this poorly for so many people. You would have to name some obscure title. Your statement is full of conjecture.

All the games I play have weekly maintenance. It's most annoying when they all decide to have it on the same day.

I play this game on the most powerful console ever released with an external SSD that ONLY has ESO on it and the game crashes to due coding errors and stutters constantly.

And I have been playing other mmorpgs. I recently started playing a FREE one on the Xbox and it performs infinitely better than ESO. Has never crashed a single time while this game, a supposed Triple A title, crashes multiple times a day. Saying ESO runs better than it's competition is a joke
