R.I.P. PC EU

SmukkeHeks

Out of frustration, I just got tomorrow’s meeting prepared while I ate the rest of my sons licorice pibes.

There’s gonna be hell to pay tomorrow if I forget to replace them before he’s home from school. And it’s all zos’ fault.

Hope it’s up by the afternoon tomorrow

I think login servers are shared these days. At least the last time there were login problems due to maintenance, again all users were affected across all platforms even those not on maintenance.

I'm guessing the login servers are simply not coping with the stress that started from PC EU coming online and users flooding in, so they packed it in. As traffic reduces for the night the servers will start becoming responsive again and ZOS will be out with their "we've fixed it" response while having done absolutely nothing. And the issue will repeat next maintenance.

Couldn’t that be fixed with some foresight and a que?

Then they could at least implement a queue system and traffic limitations for logins for these cases. It's not like if they're &%$ing exceptional, and it'd already be better than what we have now.

Of course, the ideal way would be more bandwitch and more powerful servers, but of course I'm not gonna ask them that much :P

Hireling rewards lost too on many ALTs. They could at least give everyone a free crate

While a queue might prevent the "ddos" effect we're seeing, the net effect to the user is almost the same. There's no difference to me being told that the login servers are offline or that I'm 47329th in the queue and should probably try again tomorrow.

They ultimately need more spare capacity to handle traffic spikes like those after server reboots.

You expect a company that doesn´t react to issues being pointed out for them by players to actually proactively identify and adress a problem THEMSELVES?

There is to me. I don't mind queues.

And it's better to add gradually more players in-game rather than to have ALL of them offline.

Agreed, it's simply not good enough, this happens all the time, nearly every time, enough is enough. Something needs to happen to get this fixed once and for all. People are really sick of this now. Its the servers nothing else we all know this.

It's 10pm @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Any news on the advancement?

Got some people queuing up back here.

And servers are down for all platforms. It's time to make some popcorn

Well, I'm sure the technicians are doing their best. But there's only so much that you can do with bubblegum, duct tape and paper clips...

I guess ZOS doesn't like it when we point out the real state of things...

Surely. They never take responsibility. They management too sensitive to criticism in spite of the fact they deserve every bit of it .

Zeni always finds way to break the game. It's gonna be another expac before they fix it and before they break something else.

I have logged in as have several friends. The server appears to be up again.

No doubt because people in continental Europe have started giving up and going to bed, as it's after 10, or 11pm (depending on where you are) there.

12 hours without being able to log on.

Just was said before. Looks like all the money allocated for game they spend not on performance improvement or servers upgrade, but on censoring forum threads

Things are looking good for Midyear Mayhem, eh lads?

At least a player told med why I could not login, and another player told me, now you can log in again... The developer: silence
