Some Advice From A Seasoned Veteran Regarding Greymoor
arena25
✭✭✭✭✭
Hello there, everyone, and congratulations! We're less than a week away to Greymoor release!
Now, I'm sure a lot of you are chomping at the bit to play Greymoor, especially since some of us may be fresh out of a job as a result of COVID. So please allow me to give you some advice.
First, I know that some other ESO veterans will tell you that chapter releases almost always have at least one or two hitches, even during the best of times (e.g. Summerset and it's issues with Abyssal Geysers on launch day). As you can tell by our current state of the world, we are far from the best of times. As ZOS has stated multiple times, this will be the first-ever remote launch of a major content update. I am sure that the devs for World of Warcraft, TERA, and every other MMO out there that is still relevant are going to be watching how the patch maintenance next week goes and will be taking notes, specifically on if ZOS can pull off a release of an expansion (and solve any major issues that can only be detected on live) without sending anyone to the datacenter/office to fix the issues. If ZOS pulls it off, you can expect that other development teams will push out major content updates remotely, and will continue to do remote updates until the day comes when we can relegate COVID to the dustbin of history.
Second, if you were planning to play on patch day...here's a piece of advice...DON'T PLAN ON IT! As stated above, every chapter release has had one or two hitches that come with it (some even required an emergency maintenance). This is not an ordinary chapter release. There will likely be some hiccups with this remote launch, and possibly a few bugs that break the game so bad that it requires emergency maintenance after the patch maintenance. And again, ZOS is going to do everything in its power to not send anyone to the datacenter/office in an effort to keep themselves safe, unless there is no other option but to send people to the office. Expect bugs, expect hitches on release day, and plan on catching up on housework for the entire launch day.
Finally, it is expected that Western Skyrim will be a major lag zone for the next few weeks. If your system can't handle it, consider playing in other zones until things calm down a bit.
That is all. I look forward to seeing you all next week! Possibly in Western Skyrim, possibly here on the forums in the so-called "Natch Potes" thread, but regardless of where, I hope you're just as excited as I am.

soniku4ikblis✭✭✭I know a lot of other companys who are able to send their employees to their data centers for testing and found measures suitable to create a good working enviornment.
I know, because I work at one.
Sentiment is appreciated, but in honesty, your points are a bit trite.
Nothing is impossible, but possibly just improbable.Edited by soniku4ikblis on May 20, 2020 5:29PM__._-*._._._.-*'"{Sonic Euphoric Bliss}"'*-._._._.*-_.__0 -

Nothing wrong with it at all, there are always naysayers out there, I appreciated it.0 -
Twilanthe✭✭✭I won't be playing on release day, and wont be going to Greymoor right away. I've got a lot of stuff I've never done, including Elsweyr, Summerset and Orsinium so I've got plenty to keep me busy for a while.
And on release day I will be sitting here, munching popcorn, watching the forums burn.Lüc - Argonian Necromancer Healer

✭✭✭✭✭I am definitely planning on, and counting on, playing ESO on patch day, both in the new zone and in the old zones. I know that hitches happen, but despite playing ESO through Steam (which according to many non-Steam users here is more prone to hitches) there hasn't been a day yet that I haven't been able to log in and play ESO. I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

Let me te you.........
The way this game plays compared to any other MMO is crazy bad. There are bugs that exist from old content still. (Just found out that in the Lord warden fight hitting the buttons while falling has a 50/50 chance if working.........)
[snip].
Zos should have pushed back graymore rather than releasing something that can make anything in any other content broken.
