Yes, at pretty much the same time that the Bethesda Support twitter posted that PS4 EU was back up.

Anyone else suspect that action on PC EU was being held off until all of the other servers were up to contain complaints to a single server?

I'm not usually happy to be wrong. I am glad that I am wrong this time.

Of course with the 10 minutes required to log in, it is now dinner time and my time to play today has been entirely wasted... but what was I hoping for?

What's the big deal with maintenance being extended? What's the big deal with playing 1 hour later?

What's the big deal of making a big deal of people's post and complaining about it?

You started A WHOLE NEW TOPIC whinining why the maintenance kept more than they said and you say that I made a big deal out of it? I only answered to your illogical topic, didn't start a new one for absolutely no reason. IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE to have extended downtime during maintenance because unexpected issues are common with such complicated hardware and software. There is absolutely no reason to act as if they stole your sweetroll and stop making a big deal just because you lost a few hours from your play time.

If you are not illiterate, maybe you should have realised that yes I started a new topic, but just STARTED it, all these so-called "whining" comes from different people with similar feeling making comments here. And if there is the slightest trace of sanity in you, you should have inferred that when a post is not off-topic and attracts so many comments, then it is not a "illogical topic" "posted for absolutely no reason" except by some truly illogical standard. And finally, if you are not so egocentric, you should have noticed that if by your definition anyone posting a complaining topic or comment should be judged as make-big-deal whiner, then this is exactly what you are!

You started the topic when extended maintenance was announced. And just because others have the same mentality as you do, doesn't mean you re right. Their whinning is as absurd as yours. 10-100-1000 people with wrong opinions don't make their opinion valid or their negative reactions logical.

Also, what I did was ask you a question, reply to your original post. I didn't start a new thread moments after the maintenance was extended, as if it was sth SO IMPORTANT we should worry about and whine in a separate thread about it.

"Extended maintenance makes no sense" LOL

OMG, detective Cluzo uncovered my true identity!

"I only answered to your illogical topic, didn't start a new one for absolutely no reason." Then you claim that "Their whinning is as absurd as yours." to those also just made comments. And I admire your thick skin to first say "What's the big deal blabla" and then pretend like some harmless rabbit "I'm just asking a question! nothing offensive or sarcastic!"

"10-100-1000 people with wrong opinions don't make their opinion valid or their negative reactions logical. " Surly, and a lonely man must be a hero! What does this hero do? Make another list of whining! I'm sure making a new post is something more terrible that 4 hours sever down(initially) without any reason, so complaining the latter makes you a whiner, but complaing the former make you a truly hero, like undaunted!

I have to admit that at beginning your comment really make me uneasy, but this level of narcissism? Now I just feel amusement. Thanks you for bringing so many pleasure to us in the down time.

"this is just server reboot and will take approx. 2 hours" . what are they doing, server reboot in EVE takes about 6-7 minutes, shutting the cluster down and bring it up again.

Lannharr

And EVE has only one megaserver!

Ah good times playing it!

Celephantsylvius_Bornasfinmo

I can taste the downtime or is that just the heat getting to me.

idk

Restarting servers, especially complex server designs as MMORPGs have, is not like restarting a PC and sometimes things happen.

Lysette

Yeah but it feels more like - "ah, finally the server is down, let's have some tea and scones, well, we have no scones yet, but we have enough time to bake them first and then have tea and scones before we bring the server back up, sigh" - this is how it feels like with 2 hrs. scheduled for server reboot.

Post after post and you keep skipping the core message of my first post, which was "what's the big deal with an extended maintenance", hiding behind characterizations and baseless counterarguments of the type "you make it a big deal by asking why I am making it a big deal" when I am not making a big deal of anything, you are by starting a topic which is like announcing your opinion to the public, totally different from a simple post. No matter if I am a "harmless rabbit", a "lone hero" or some "illiterate guy" (English is not my native language), it doesn't change the fact that you found the extended maintenance sth important to complain about by starting a new topic. That's what I am saying. It isn't important and you shouldn't care so much.

Now, you can keep making baseless assumptions and reach absurd conclusions to make yourself feel better and not "uneasy".

1. Start db servers
2. Start app servers
3. Start front servers
4. Start auth services


Not that complex.

If they've encountered an issue they need to deal with then extending it is all they can do. It happens. I want to play too but it isn't going to kill me to wait a bit longer. I'd rather they fix the problem that's cropped up.

Nah, we should all react as if it is the end of days, a meteorite threatening to wipe humanity from the face of the earth.

"OMG, I lost 3 hours from playing ESO, how am I going to deal with it?"

Reasonable sentiment wrapped in bias. Not everything is filtered thorough your disposition. Some people have limited time to play or are sick or sad and need something to distract them from that. Or want to enjoy the game just because they respected the provided timetable. When that timetable changes significantly it will cause some discontent. Looking down at impatient players so you can seem level headed might have the opposite effect.

I am probably referring to those impatient enough... Not those with limited time to play...

We are currently investigating issues some players are having logging into the megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
How unexpected

Good distinction to make that doesn't really detract from my point. I, for one, had time. Waited calmly for the extended maintenance to end and now I get log in time out errors. Server capacity issue perhaps, I don't really know. It's not a matter of patience for an unforeseen issue anymore. This is now the definition of insanity.

Post after post and I only see your ignorance rise to higher and higher level. "it doesn't change the fact that you found the extended maintenance sth important to complain about by starting a new topic" yes it is, and stop pretend that your eccentric oddity lies on stating this fact. No, it lies on your attitude and your judgement. I see no problem to start a new post complaining, and others see no problem following it. Then you come in, claiming that there is some kind of qualification of posting new topic, and you would be the hero to point that out, while others are simply being absurd. You say "English is not my native language"? In fact I seriously doubt if Earth is your motherland. For Human race normally will consider that, if there is really some standard, then 4-hour server downtime should be something worth complaining more than complaining about server downtime. To be frank, most people don't bother judging such king of thing as big-deal-enough or not-big-deal-enough, it's no problem to us. But it should be a problem to you, since you are so insistent that we make such judgement. That's what amuse me, a "hero" who are so eager to judge others and to ask others doing so never judge his own action. You just shamelessly claim that " I am not making a big deal of anything"!

Now do you get How earth human reason? Normally I would elaborate such trivial things except to young kids. So this will be the last time. If you still don't get it, I have to say you are hopeless.
