Ok people, place your bets! Will the thread make it to 100 pages before the server is up? It's gonna be a close one.

Just a reminder to anyone who hasn't already:
If you wish to join Downtime Defenders -Please- Send either @Zaeros‌ or I a message with your ingame name and Alliance!

Thanks Guys!

Jessica, are peoples' accounts getting hacked by other players who obviously know their login credentials because of the foolish system in place whereby we are always forced to show them in all friends' and guilds' lists?

That's my biggest concern-- this whole lack of security in ESO. It's noobish to say the least. In a climate where other games are adding extra layers of security like authenticators, not only do we not have that, but we're forced to show our logins to every would-be hacker out there. Random strangers spam me with friend invites and I can't help but think they could be potential hackers. The gold farmers (organized crime, folks) are already in ESO in droves. You're just rolling out the red carpet for account theft with dumb ideas like this.

Yea I don't really think there going to get tons more then what logged on yesterday. I mean who says I don't want 3-5 days early play time I think I will wait till it comes out.? I am sure there will be more but not a lot.Lastnight was the start of the 3 day. But heck just guessing

Yes but the 3 and 5 day pre-orders will still be there playing. One would think more will join right ?

Yea more will join .But I don't think its going to be a huge stress on the server when released.As most people that wanted to play pre ordered for the early time. I mean I just don't think it will be a huge influx from last night and Friday when its full release.Most gamers don't wait to play a game if they have a chance to play it now.

especially in an mmo where starting early is an advantage point. as for me i want to get all achieves done b4 any major content is released. of course i like to take my time and actualy enjoy the story as well as the amazing sights. this is te 1st MMO i have actually taken time into to here the quest stories. i am a major FF Fan and i could not get into the lore of FF14

Be smart. change ir password at least once a month and dont watch ur pornos on ur main computer and u wont get hacked. been wow for 4 years and one of the times they had a major data beak in. i didnt get the authenticator till my 5th year. perfectly fine, never once hacked even tho ppl know my email its still 50% no diffrent here

Dear Jessica Folsom,

Do you actually play ESO?
If so what are the rules in regards to staff playing with the players?
I would be interested in joining you and your co-workers in game if permitted.

Talk to you soon.

I do. All of us do. ZeniMax Online Studios employees are not permitted to reveal themselves in-game to players. The only ZOS employees you should ever know about are in-game support staff who appear if you need assistance.

But yes, we do play. Some of us every night. So, you never know. You could have some of us in your guilds right now.

I do not have any ambition to post all of the super awesome equipment that I use for gaming...

Can I just send you my new egg parts receipt with prices????

Does that earn flexible epeen, like writing all that useless "my comp spec" info in a forum discussing server downtimes?

Sucks to spend that much money on a computer and not have a SSD main

My current rig is running an i7 3630QM processor with 16gb RAM and an intel 4000 graphics card. Not the best graphics wise, but it's a beast laptop for what I normally use it for, especially for what I got it for. Will be upgrading to something around $2000 when I intern over the summer.

I have to admit the launch is still more polished than SWTOR's was. I mean they didn't even finish painting it first.

Haha fair call man. I do to usually. Just in this Downtime thread, happiness will keep it going!

circilion

haha, yea server downtime blows. I had today off, was hoping to get some 'serious' gaming in before my wife gets home and begins telling me to act my age XD. Its good though, I got disconnected almost every time I tried to make a potion last night. I would rather play a game that is fluid and lose some game time, than a game that frustrates me.

This was a forum about server maintenance, not what build your computer is. Stay on topic.

Delightful and a tease at the same time. It's a warm feeling knowing you all play with us.

come on we've not had any fights since a certain person left about 30 pages ago .. lets not start up now.. :P any news at all @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Still here, lurking, reading, enjoying the screenshots. We're working on pushing the new build to the North American megaserver right now. No changes to the ETA yet (still looking at a few hours, maybe a couple.) As soon as we can provide a time, we will.

12 hours of maintenance. I hope this fixes all the mission bugs. I can't make sense of one thing though. Why only the NA server? Is the EU server build different?
