When the game is in maintenance

So i have recently started playing a free to play game from steam, and enjoying it by all accounts, today is the first time ive encountered maintenance on this game, and have to say its quite a refreshing feeling seeing where maintenance is actually upto in terms of how long its taking.

So they give you a start time and endtime(rough estimate) the other thing they give is a % slider that moves up as maintenance progresses, so if it does go over, like it has today you can see where there up to, i suppose it stops, to some degree, the "How long is maintenancegoing to take" posts on there forum.

Would be cool if ZoS could implement something like this on the landing screen of the game when ESO is in maintenance.

Thoughts?

The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
This is the place in the North West of England

It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



And make us a record, a new number one

And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

And make us sing louder and make us believe it



that this is the place that has helped shape the world

And that this the place where a Manchester girl

Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



And this is the place with appliance of science

We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

Mancunians in union delivered it all



Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

And so this is the place to do business, then dance

Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



And this is the place where we first played as kids

And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

And this is the place where our folks came to work

Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



And they built us a city. They built us these towns

And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

And to work and to build, to connect and create and

Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

Because this a place where we stand strong together

With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

We support local groups and the great work they do

So can you …help us help… local people like you?



Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

That this is the place. We should give something back.

Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    I don't think it is possible for ZOS to have an ETA for every update/maintenance. Just let them do their stuff and people will eventually learn that spamming forums with ''WHEN IS IT OVER'' won't do anything

    Is the game doing maintenance. I thought it was tomorrow.

    If it's possible it would be nice to give that information. But I'm not sure how much of it is routine processes where they can tell us how long it'll take to run and how much is a matter of looking at what needs doing and figuring it out as they go along. And I'm not sure how well it would go if the time to completion went up or the percentage completed went down because they found an additional task needed doing.

    Having said that maintenance isn't a big deal, even when it always seemed to happen on Monday morning my time, which is usually my day off, it was only a minor annoyance. Extremely jarring after years of Guild Wars 1 and 2 being my only online games because I'm completely forgotten that most games went offline for maintenance, but it was just a matter of doing something else (like playing GW2) until the servers came back online.

    Progress bars are great when they're consistent (or shoot up), but if the bar is stuck I'd bet my buttocks to a barn dance that the forums would be filled with threads asking why the bar is stuck, even to the point of fury. No point showing me a bar if I don't know what it's doing to help my experience in the game, because then it's just something to look at and the technicians to have to interrupt their work and tick boxes on the launcher.

    I like the idea but I appreciate that the techies want to get their job done without additional eyes on them. They've already got deadlines and whatnot.
    Just play Pathfinder Kingmaker while ESO is down, like I do.

    At the risk of a lock, how is it? Not played Pathfinder myself but it looks fun enough. ^^

    True successor to Baldur's Gate. If you are a fan of classic CRPGs, you need to buy this one. Much more down to earth than, say, the Pillars of Eternity series.

    Would rather have a useful in-game feature. Remember, for every feature they work on there's a host of other features that are "deprioritized."
