And yes, it's a contributing factor - why would this have to be proven or disproven?
Communication should be a two way thing.0 -

Because those screaming at the sky think this is only a ZOS thing when it happens to EVERY MMORPG.0 -

It doesn’t happen like this with every MMO tho .. The last MMO expansion launch I was a part of was FFXIV: shadowbringers. I even took the launch day off so I could play and I don’t remember having any issues at all. No lag, no rollbacks, no infinite loading screens etc. the only negative I remember was that there was a huge queue to get onto my server.1 -

Then you haven't read all that much. There's many responses without anything about the sky falling or the world ending that are pointing out for instance that this is a repeat occurrence (re: Elsweyr), which is quite frustrating, partially due to the very unfortunate combination of factors...
Also, as stated: communication is a two way thing. With the server being down just about the whole day, why shouldn't people ask for instance about the daily rewards: they log in every day for those rewards, and now just about everyone will miss out on one of these rewards. It shouldn't be all that difficult for anyone at ZOS playing the game themselves to figure out that something should at least be done there? I see these types of questions on several media... mostly without any drama
Maybe I should ask what exactly is the point of your statement?
I must say I've seen quite a few instances that went a lot smoother than several I've seen for this game. Not only for big updates, but for instance for events and such as well (and yes, also some that probably will be worse than this one, if all is fixed in the few hours they now have scheduled again)0 -

Atreidus✭✭✭The insane, ridiculous and down right sad responses we are seeing on here and EVERY OTHER MMORPG on content release is why ALL video gamers get a bad reputation.
Troll bait and attacking of the whole community. Plus a maybe payed worker ranting about we are demanding a working product for our money. Why we shall say "thanks." or so anyways? You do ignore all of your error reports, suggestions and whatever anyways. Since years.
Thats why some developers are having gotten souch a bad reputation.
I mean: i was nice ..sayed thanks(for even working and testing for you for free).. Gotten a buttkick from your community management. This times are over.
ps.: don´t take this as a offense please. I know it are stressfull times.Edited by Atreidus on May 26, 2020 9:41PM1 -

Zekka✭✭✭✭Because those screaming at the sky think this is only a ZOS thing when it happens to EVERY MMORPG.
It doesn't happen nearly as often to other MMOs and the devs fix is usually much faster than ZOS.
ZOS are very lucky that there is barely anything else other than ESO in the action MMORPG genre right now, and this may change in the future...0 -

This. And even if it were true, that should not give devs a free pass. Unless, of course, Jaxious is one. 😉Edited by The_Lex on May 26, 2020 9:41PM1 -

Have you considered that the gaming industry has an appalling record of delivering customer service and is often called out for making promises that it can’t deliver? Potentially, gamers - also “customers” - are used to having sales promises delivered by other organisations in sales and services industries and are therefore frustrated when games companies appear to give not a flying feck about them.
Have you considered that you’re looking at a forum for a game that has a history of declining performance, and where the latest and most expensive update failed to launch properly the first time due to entirely foreseeable quality control issues, and then failed to launch properly the second time, and is about to go in for a third try?
So, you can lump us all together and like any troll, you can attempt to incite a riot...... or you can simply see the situation for what it is and has some empathy for those who are quite simply not being treated well as paying customers and who are frustrated by that.0 -

That's the issue if a poster doesnt jump on your doom and gloom we want heads on a stick bandwagon its trolling and every post gets reported and of course the moderators who I agree are pretty bad ban some just to appease the foaming at the mouth vocal minority.0 -

I had edited this a bit to making it not looking that bad. More like a 2 sided perspective.0 -

✭Can't speak about many other games but i played GW2 for several years and over all those years - with 2 expansion releases and multiple smaller content updates - total! server downtime was lower than ESO downtime on a single patch day.
And since aforementioned game just had a content update today i quickly glanced over the official forums - and the difference compared to ESO is like night and day. Because surprise, surprise - that game is actually playable. On a patchday. Just imagine ...
You got proven wrong.
