    Never forget, @Ahtu , that customer service is a dying art. Whether it is Walmart, governments, or software companies, most workers of today do not understand what that term even means. I actually taught a course study in customer service and it isn't too far away from the word "hospitality".

    When I think of excellent customer service, I always think of Disney. The customer service I experienced with anything Disney was second to none. To this day, when I'm at a restaurant and I get the best service, I always say, "That was Disney service!" and I tip generously.

    The key to great customer service is to exceed the expectations of your customers. Unfortunately, companies tend to do the talk and not walk the walk.

    Here we go again ... as someone who has built and deployed software for some of the largest companies in the world, the proverbial feces is going to happen. It just is.

    The world's space agencies are known for their methodical quality processes, yet spacecraft blow up or miss the mark. NASA spent $125M USD to build and launch the Mars Climate Orbiter. Damn thing burned up in the Martian atmosphere because spacecraft engineers at JPL were using metric calculations and Lockheed was using the Imperial system of measurement. Whoops.

    Microsoft is the world's biggest software company, employing over 150K people, yet bugs still get released. The horror!

    The inimitable Mr. Murphy has enjoyed a rather long and successful career in dealing monkey wrenches to those who do not desire them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murphy's_law

    So ... chill, and give them time to sort it all out. Sure, it sucks, but it's just a game. Trust me when I say that ZoS is just as disappointed as the rest of us in this, if not more. I know, I've been there.

    Just sayin' ....

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    .

    I keep seeing this pop up, and I've tried to ignore it, but I just have to ask: If you're truly this unhappy, why are you still here? If you check my post history, you're going to find a rather shocking detail: I was gone for a very long time. Why? Something made me unhappy. I didn't haunt the forums, I didn't grab every opportunity to troll ZoS, I left. I left to the point that I had uninstalled the game, and removed the bookmarks to the forums, which I had to reassign when I came back. I'm not even sure how long I'm planning to stick around, so unsure, in fact, that I didn't bother to purchase this expansion, despite being able to do so. I also didn't raise a big fuss about it in the threads dedicated to it, and yet, I see a lot of this. "I've been traumatically unhappy with this game for 6 years, and yet I'm still here". It doesn't say as much about ZoS as you'd like.


    I have to say, I often see this argument, alongside the "go and have a walk" argument. It's sloppy, lazy, and condescending. I'm still here. The game is terrific. The community is awesome. But the doesn't mean there are not massive issues with the game and the developer. There are precious few places to communicate about those - this is the primary one.

    Interesting, how is an honest inquiry into the motivation of one's making themselves traumatically unhappy "sloppy, lazy and condescending"? It's not like I held the door open for you, or even offered to. I simply asked a question, and gave the reason why I might be mystified by someone choosing another route. So resorting to these characterizations is, in fact, "sloppy and lazy". I can't really go to condescending, but the first two are pretty easy to see. The better thing to have done, instead of trying some half assed character assassination, would have been to omit the first two lines, and just provide your viewpoint, yes? That is, at the end of the day, what I actually asked after. So hey, I guess I can get to condescending after all, right?

    I've been playing since 2014 and i do not share your frustration. I would love to see you do better. But i highly doubt you could, since you know, being an armchair game developer and all that lol.

    So how about you go to school for coding and programing, get hired by ZOS to work on this game, do better than they are, and MAYBE you'll actually have an opinion on game development that is actually worth something.

    otherwise, idk, shut up and accept that coding is not perfect and never will. all it takes is one line of code to *** up any of the existing code. And even if they did test every update out for months or even years to ensure perfect working order. People like you would then just get pissed that it takes so long. So yes, it is about you feeling entitled to an entertainment product.

    ZOS is damned if they or damned if they dont by people like you. So I can see why they kinda have to not care about these kinds of opinions.

    Your right many of us could not do better because that isn't our job, but as with my customers they expect ME to provide a service or they will find someone else.

    Sadly there are very few company's out there wanting to invest in MMOS because the free to play method makes no monitory sense whatsoever, so the few that do provide a service really don't care that much otherwise we would get some meaningful dialog wouldn't we ?

    I didn't remember that this happened with Elsweyr, probably because I was working in the office and not from home, so I had to wait to get home to install the update before playing so I didn't notice any additional downtime.

    With that in mind, I'm guessing it won't be much longer. Hopefully anyway. 🤞

    You must realize that people come and go as software developers and each person uses a unique code then the other person, the new developer then most decode the old one to make a new one, this takes a lot of time, and can bring out old and new bugs in doing so. Not only that but there will always be bugs in games, no matter how many times you update or try to fix a game, something new will arise. I have played many, and I mean many games, and I can always find a bug somehow, no matter how many times it has been updated and fixed.

    Also, you must remember it is hard to test things currently with the virus going around. You being extremely rude isn't going to fix things. You must be patient, if you have an issue with the game, you're free to leave.

    redgreensunset, you must remember that Zenimax Studio's and Bethesda ARE IN the US (Maryland to be exact).
    I have been a member of ESO since April 4th 2014 but didn't get a code until recently when I asked.

    What?! Doesn't every consumer expect to buy a product and not be able to use it, even with an extra week of delay in release?

    I'm just glad my bank account already shows the money taken out for yet another broken product. At least that is a constant we all can depend on.
    </semi-sarcasm>

    Seems to be a recurring issue with Bethedsa/Zenimax products altogether. I am scared to see what ESO and Fallout76's babies are going to be like. :trollface:

    Server down for 2 hours now with no ETA in sight so it could be a few more hours because the new chapter was free for everyone? How could such a large issue be allowed to be released into live? What testing if any if being done before these patches are pushed out?

    What compensation will we be receiving for the game being down most of the day when it was promised to be released at 08:00?

    Doesnt surprise me and i bet only tomorrow we'll be able to play :) as for compensation? they dont care at all its all money they get anyway why compensate?

    Then no one is disappointed.

    There would be some disappointment, I guarantee it, if they pushed release date back.

    Also, this "tolerance" in the community is why I've come to love the ESO community over several other MMO communities that I am (or once was) a part of. They are generally tolerant towards newer players and are happy to help correct their mistakes, while they are not as tolerant towards people looking to troll. They are generally tolerant about pushed back release dates, and also generally quick to "help" ZoS find problems (such as the issue leading to our ongoing maintenance, which could have gotten much worse if this wasn't quickly spotted (and thank Jehova it was)).

    I'm sure you're not gonna like saying this, but if you don't like that you can't play while they fix issues, then I kindly suggest you find another game.

    How old are you? Why does everyone expect compensation because their game patch is a few hours late, or the perform maintenance? What the.....

    Why shall we not want one? Others give compansations to pre orderers or buyers. also 1 week of "previewing live" for pre.

    Yes really.

    No, you’re not getting “compensation.”

    Now sit down and wait patiently for the servers to open like the majority are.

    Wow, calm down. Issues happen. To expect some sort of compensation because your entitled self didn't get to play right at 8am on the dot is ridiculous. You want a working game or a broken game?

    Lol "working game"
