Hi everyone,

"We wanted to give you another update. As mentioned earlier this morning, we are testing a fix for the game crash that many of you are currently experiencing. If the fix passes testing, we are looking to move up the incremental patch to this weekend. We want to get this fixed as soon as possible, and are doing everything in our power to expedite the process. We'll keep you updated as we have more info. Thanks again for your patience".

Thanks Wolfpaw.

So, you personally plan to answer all of the "WHY ARE WE HAVING MAINTENANCE OUTSIDE OF PLANNED TIMES I WANT COMPENSATION!!!!" threads?

PvP is not playable at this time. For those that PvP, there is little difference between shutting it down and trying to play.....but less frustration if it's shut down and being worked on. It was idiotic from the start to put PvP and PvE on the same server physically.

CP may be unplayable but no CP seems fine, you can play there till Monday if you need to.

if people would reply directly to statements by ZOS instead of opening tons of childish *** threads, they would not miss that a new statement was added, indicating a bugfix this weekend.

Well, that would perfectly work if it was an official statement in a topic that ZOS would post on their own, now wouldn't it??? Not a reply on a topic that's now buried on the 3rd page of "recent" discussions.

Why wait? ZoS devs are maybe the least competent MMO devs and maybe the least competent in the video game industry(AAA) in general. They can't fix basic stuff. For every bug they fix, they code five new ones in.

ESO forums. lol

Honestly, I'd rather not have the servers shutdown for a patch during weekend playtime. I haven't had any more disconnects than normal anyway.

Imagine how fast this *** would get fixed if it was something crown store related.

While we completely understand everyone has their own opinions, thoughts, feelings and even frustrations, we want the forums to be a civil and constructive platform for the game and it's community as a whole. So please keep the thread civil, constructive and on-topic.

that is very bad

fastolfv_ESO

emergency patching is something every mmo deals with except eso, and thats a bad sign. Every single other mmo in existence would bring the servers down for a few hours no matter what time it was, patch the thing, and move on. Who cares if it inconveniences a few people it needs to be fixed. This is why ESO will forever be known as the most bug ridden poorly managed mmo to ever exist, its a lesson to every creator out there how not to fail

Can i remind everone of postern walls in outposts that were impossible to close for months around summerset?
I'm happy it only takes a week...

Wolfpaw

I must continue to share the secret truth, brace & prepare yourself....

Matt said "we're killing it",... that was code for ZOS to begin their master plan of destroying Zenimax Media's golden goose ESO, in a joint effort with gaming media to conspire against their daedric overlords on the board of directors at Zenimax Media?

The truth is out there....

We assume that ZoS is capable of doing so. What if they're not?

fastolfv_ESO

if zenimax cannot emergency patch thats the biggest design flaw i have ever seen. How could any company assume they will never have a bad update

Mr_Walker

Because testing? Zos may be trying this, instead of the usual "just push the button she'll be right mate".

5 years later, you still think that they care about the pvp player base ? LOL

There is no PvP player base. In off peak there are more people in Alinor than there are in every single campaign.

So, I say "f you" to someone that says "stfu" and get deleted, yet their comment is not?

Why let us hang till 2020 to improve the servers when the massive issues were acknowledged in January ?

ZOS logic, mate. It's kinda like when you add the adjective "military" to something, it changes it meaning deeply. Military music isn't really music, military medecine isn't really medecine... ZOS logic isnt really logic.

I’m glad they are going to try and patch this over the weekend probably on Friday.

Being in IT myself I’d personally want to patch this problem before the weekend because if I don’t chances are I get called in over the weekend for something being broken. Those folks need a weekend off sometimes so here’s to hoping they have this patched by 5pm tomorrow so they can enjoy their well earned weekend off

idwilson

Ok, so maybe the weekend.

CiNNeR

I must say I am a bit affraid they will choose a relatively good time for the NA-server and prime time here, like saturdaynight. But I am glad the moderators reacted a bit this time and we know they are working tot get this fixed.

MajBludd

Who thinks the patch will actually fix anything or it will be a band aid that causes even more problems?

sharquez

Because there is no magic button to push that fixes everything. There are man hours being put in to make adjustments, Investigations to make, data to pour through, tests to be done. A service interruption will only put fuel on the fire, especially if the service interruption results in even poorer performance due to an oversight. It's in no ones best interest to half ass the work.

alainjbrennanb16_ESO

the probs with not doing it day 1 is they will lose peeps, the question to ask is why it seems they are not bothered

Hello everyone,

Tomorrow, we are planning maintenance on PC NA and EU in order to publish the next incremental patch early. This will include fixes for the recent crashes many have been experiencing this week, in addition to implementing additional safeguards for the guild trader and multi-bidding issues that occurred last Sunday. There will also be a number of additional fixes for combat, dungeons, and multi-crafting that will be outlined in the patch notes; these will be published tomorrow morning during maintenance.

Regarding the excess gold some guilds on PC EU received last weekend after the multi-bidding issue, we'll have an update for everyone on this tomorrow.

At this time, we're planning maintenance to be finished by 8am EDT. We appreciate everyone's patience.

If they cannot hotfix it they do not want to bring down the servers. People actually complain about maintenance, especially outside of normal times. They do not care about what is being fixed.

This right here...... They care more about releasing new DLC content and crown store items as long as people log on. On PS4, we have dealt with issues for 5 years now that have not ever been addressed. If anything, the problems are getting worse with each DLC/addon. Since people seem to struggle with the same certain server issues on PC/PS4/Xbox it's not a console issue/ hardware issue so much as a game/ zos server issue. If they don't care to address it, then we can not expect it to improve.

That one person working on the patch has got his ring hanging out.
