Why do you keep doing maintenance on Tuesdays?

It says PC maintenance is done on Mondays and Wednesdays so why do you keep doing it on Tuesdays?

    No idea, usually it is either a US holiday or a German holiday that makes them move the Maintenance day.

    But can't find any for either on Monday, everyone is on summer vacation maybe? :P

    It's really frustrating because we originally had our group sessions on Mondays, then we changed it to Wednesday because of the maintenance, then they decided to occassionally have maintenance on Wednesdays so we changed it to Tuesdays and now they have these unnannounced, really annoying Tuesdays maintenance. And they never explain or justify themselves, so tiresome >:(

    More than likely they have the most amount of people in office during the week, if something goes wrong they then have more people in office to work on it.

    Might be during the week that's when the least amount of players are actually online. I'm just guessing!

    They postpone maintenance when there are events running. They had too many complaints, and events ending early, before when they took servers down for maintenance during events.

    It's simply to avoid that trouble. This is ESO Plus week.

    A pretty dumb system, why not have the ESO Plus weekend ending Sunday night and have maintenance on Monday?

    Since most mid year holidays are on a Monday, and if someone is going to extend a weekend with time off, it is a good chance is its a Monday, it makes sense they do Maintenance on a Tuesday. I actually prefer this.

    Whether or not people agree with the day the MINIMUM ZOS should be doing is sticking to one day. It does nobody any good to keep changing maintenance days like amateurs.

    I agree it should be a specific day each week. I have been moving and setting up a new house so I have real sporadic play lately, but I thought all the last few changes were on a Tuesday. Now, there have been some hot fix types on other days lately, but those are not normal.

    So we go from Maintenance on Mondays, to now on Tuesdays a few times and now we on Wednesdays?

    Why is it changing all the time?.


    I thought players were in agreement for maintenance to be held on the same day, not a random changing day every week

    Not just the almost random day, which could do with being not a Monday, Thursday or Friday due to US public holidays
    Also could we get an explanation of why PC/EU is down tomorrow and not both PC servers?

    My guess is that it is a fix for the server issues on PC EU.

    Guess - but it would only take 30s for ZOS to actually post a confirmation
    but I guess that is too much for anyone there :(

    It will be tomorrow (Wednesday) to load in the extra servers etc for Midyear Mayhem starting on Thursday.
    It's not rocket science that they need to preload stuff for events.

    In a perfect world, it should be consistently on one day.

    In a real world, I have a hard time caring (and I'm sure there are reasons for it bouncing around--different events starting/ending on different days/Bob the Hamster taking a day off to visit his sick hamster mother, etc.)

    if it was anything to do with the event then all 4 servers would be being worked on, the event is just a timer tick.

    Because only lame people play ESO on Tuesdays!... Just kidding.

    As someone who works regularly with updates, Tuesday's, on average have the least traffic of any day of the week, which is why we usually do our updates then.

    It's not deep. We're just trying to inconvenience as few users as possible.

    Yes. If you want a quiet day in Tamriel, visit on Tuesday.

    I'm happy they do it on Tuesdays right now and I'll enjoy every week they choose to do so for as long as it may happen - for years now it has been on Mondays, and thats for some jobs like mine the regular free day in the week. So yay for breaking regular patterns once in a while :)<3:)
