Need IN-GAME Downtime Warning

buffbcub17_ESO

Thanks for the notice, but now is it possible to get *some* idea of when maintenance is going to be over? I finally have some time to play today and the game is indefinitely down? Some update...or time frame would be wonderful.

BUT if I'm playing the game I'm not lurking these forums so posting a message HERE is no good to warm players about it.

I dont want to be warmed, i want to be given a notice. I have beer and vodka for warming needs.

well, if it's urgent bug-fixing maintenance, than why is it only on NA server?

Would be much appreciated. Either configurable multi variable warnings client side once server sends out notification. Or 30, 15, 5 Minute Warnings. Would be very helpful for Players building crafting skills on trying to increase Traits on their Skill Lines.

I was just getting off work when it went down.
Plz next time use the intercom so I don't have to hurry home.

AFAIK they did something like that in one of the betas?

For this maintenance I was in Daggerfall when I saw the notice of 15 till server being brought down. But the warning flashed on the screen so fast I almost missed it. Leave the warning up a little longer and provide more than a 15, 10 and 5 minute warning. A 60 minutes, 30, 15, 10, 5 and 1 minute warning would be great.

How long are they down for, it said it was down yesterday night its still down 12 hours later, so much for my 3 days early access i guess...

The server was down earlier today for about an hour or so. This one was brought down at 1am est and still down at 3:53am est. giving them till 4am then calling it a night and hope to comeback tomorrow.

I don't believe what I'm reading here. All you people complain clearly do not understand the problems and the need for emergency maintenance for an mmo just starting off. Give them a break and be thankful you are getting to play before the offical launch.

They didn't have to give us a headstart. They could have just made us wait till the 4th. As long as they are fixing things during the maintenance there is no reason to complain. Clearly judging by these posts mmo's are not for alot of you.

I only hope Zenimax ignore all this whining and offer you some cheese to go with it.

I received a 15 minute warning in-game, as did my friend I was with. Sometimes it's necessary to perform an emergency patch on short notice, but it'd be nice to have an idea how how long the process could take.

I think they should add vocal system message that is voiced by the prophet that tells us that the servers will be going down soon

THIS.
