If that is the case this one would like to state that every single ball of yarn she has gives her much joy and she is not parting with any of them.

I just had to check my calendar because I thought this had to be a Aprils fools joke.

Is this why we have been getting very long loading screens all this time, because of loot we store away?

I've never heard of an MMO expecting customers to wait possibly hours to log in, that is just terrible. What if the game crashes while on a long loading screen? Just expected to log in and wait again from scratch?

Shocking, it really is.

Thank you, ZOS, for giving me an excuse to do the spring cleaning I've been putting off for years.

When it comes to console I'll just login when I get to work, hopefully an 8 hour day will give it enough time to get through the load screen.

is there a way to use inventory insight to export a spreadsheet of all items? I recall reading about a hidden function in the code

there is also this: http://teso-delve.com/

I already have troubles logging in. Sometimes I disconnect 3-4 times before I can finally get in. I hope this doesn't completely lock me out of the game.

we’ll be implementing some code related to ESO’s database that will allow us greater flexibility with updates and maintenance as it continues to grow over time.

Does this mean this is just an update for future ease of updates or is this going to make an impactful difference that we will see immidietly?

Yes, you can log in on all your chars, open bank/storage and visit your homes before you log off for the night, and then copy the Inventory Insight saved variable file and paste it on your desktop or something. It'll be in LUA and s**t to read, but it will act as a log of your items.

I'd also recommend grabbing a screenshot of all your currencies. I'm sure they don't intend for something to go wonky, but it never hurts to be prepared, and it could help expedite the support, should it be needed.

Opportunity arises from adversity.

I'm putting together a contest for my social guild for Mother of All Load Screens day.

We're coordinating logins via Discord. As each contestant successfully logs, he or she will drop a gift in the guild bank. Last one in gets the pot... as a sympathy prize.

The Contest No One Wants to Win, lol

This is the best comment I have seen so far. GG dude!

Additionally, how has there been no communication yet?!

No communication about what?

While I am here... @ZOS_GinaBruno ... Do I have to log into both NA and EU to trigger both of them? I assume so?

Not surprising at all that @ZOS_GinaBruno can't be bothered to respond to yes or no questions. Thank you to everyone translating @ZOS_KaiSchober for us! Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

Sylvermynx

Yeah, I don't have a really good feeling about this.... I'll be logging in on my second account (which has gobs LESS of everything - including toons - than my main account.... so hopefully will be done fairly quickly).

My main account.... I might leave it for as much as a week, depending on what happens with the second account. Since I'll effectively be OOBW after the download.... well....

Umm... Like, all the additional questions that has been posed in this thread?

Cleared my mail.
Stacked potions/foods/recipes/poisons/etc. in one place.
Put my active characters (plus 1 storage character) in the same place.
Will log back in around 12:30 to clear any sales, fill the broker again then put my crafter with everyone else.

See y'all on Tuesday, hopefully!

Numerikuu

Oh hoho... this is going to go swimmingly!

D0PAMINE

Wouldn't it be hilarious if I logged in and all my items were missing? That would be funny.

I took tomorrow off to go off-shore fishing. Weather is going to postpone that.

Thought, "Well, I have the day off...I'll just stay home and play ESO."

Looks like I'm going to work tomorrow. Damnit....

Soooo...people are actually spending multiple hours to clean up their inventory to avoid a possible 2 hour load in...????

If it only was two hours it would be ok, I'm fearing a far longer one though....
And besides, it's good to clean up once in a while, as I had like over 60 surveys and now had a reason to do them. Thus now I won't have as many inventory problems as usual for the next time now, with over 60 item slots more. XD

"Couple of hours" doesn't mean "2 hours" .... (for french guys )

By the way... what about the materials bag ??? ouch !

Perfect day to watch a movie

Yes, exactly, the German Thread implies strongly a time span of more than two hours as possibility as well. It was also said there that the craft bag counts as well

DirkRavenclaw

Well, before loging off I wished all Guildies a Merry Xmas, just in case🤣🤣🤣🤣

My 15 characters probably average >130 inventory slots used.
My back currently has >400 slots used.
I have all the strorage chests.
I have a craft bag.
I have some houses.
I surely have over 3000 inventory stacks or items total.

It was easy to clean up an extra 1% of that as a direct response to Gina's request in this thread. I may actually have gotten 2%, plus another 2% by being sure I didn't have a backlog of unopened hireling emails.

Yay me!

My main concern is that you can't just let the loading screen finish. You'll get booted for inactivity. So you have to move the mouse and click elsewhere frequently in order to not get disconnected. We are supposed to sit at loading screen that lasts couple of hours, great. At least, this feature should have been turned off.

You only get booted for inactivity once your character is fully loaded in, which happens at the very end of the loading screen. Presumably your character will not fully load in until this update is done. I would be genuinely shocked if they expected people to periodically click the mouse or whatever on a black screen for up to two hours, especially since there's no reason for them to do it that way.
