    As a LONG time gamer and vet of MANY MMO's I must say this is all MY fault...

    Every time I take a day off of work to be able to maximize my early access the damn servers go down... Seriously.

    As for NOT buying for Early Access - hogwash. Seriously. But for not expecting there to be down time... I must say that those who are surprised by it are really, really short sighted and completely inexperienced in gaming and software development in general.

    actually its all on the Beta Testers.. they didnt do their job right, and now us early adopters are being punished for it....

    I can't speak for the rest of the beta testers--- but I spent FOREVER during beta writing up bug tickets.
    Like, DAYS of reports.
    A friend was over and heard all the typing and said, "I thought you were gonna be doin beta this weekend and do the research paper later.."
    -__-

    There was an in-beta rumor making its rounds saying that ZOS was holding back the polished version of the game from stress testers because they didn't need to see the final product to stress the servers-- that all of our bug reporting was essentially for naught because those fixes had already been implemented in the "final/launch" version.
    [At least] 3 of us wrote up reports for all that Balreth crap, the horse garbage, and so on; this patch [hopefully--- dear GOD hopefully] is the culmination of all their fixes for said reports and those since.

    :neutral_face: maybe you weren't clear enough?

    I'm assuming your with the Daggerfall Covenant, if your speaking of what I think you are, that is telling you their PVP rank.

    The 12 hour downtime so far is annoying, but not all that upsetting for a new game launch. What ticks me off is the lack of communication on their part.

    They gave NO indication of any type of time frame. All they said was "maintenance"...they didn't say this was a game patch, a server upgrade, routine or whether it was planned or not.

    How difficult is it to say "we're expecting between x-x hours for the downtime, will keep you updated." Leaving us hanging this long is ridiculous; every other game company gives their customers a time frame so we can plan around it.

    I've generally ignored these posts, but I'll make attempt at reason and let it go:

    They needed to perform maintenance on the server. Maybe they thought it would take two hours, or maybe four. It's taken more than that.

    Imagine how people would have reacted if they had said: "Okay, it'll back up in two hours." Then they had to come back and say, "No, make that four hours." And so on.

    "Communicating" is a truly a double edged sword. You might have been satisfied, but someone else would have been outraged.

    Understandable, but it's much better PR to give us what they expect as opposed to nothing at all. Nothing can be interpreted as they don't care about their customers, apathy, whatever. It's bad all around.

    We're in the final stages of QA testing the new patch on the live server, then we'll re-open it to all of you. ETA is between 2:00 and 2:30 PM EDT. If that changes, we'll let you know.

    got times in UTC for international peeps?

    math... its an amazing thing. >.<

    maths is what got us into this mess.

    no something more like 'Insert inventory.playername, inventory.itemtype, inventory.itemquanity Into eso_inventory where playerid = 'unique id'; not being coded properly likely got us into this mess ;) (and yes i know the sql statement is incorrect it's now 4:35am)

    It's a new message when attempting a login (permissions). Apparently it is up for testing. Let's hope the testing goes well and it is released to production shortly.

    Since we're nearing 100th post, I think I'll say my farewells for now and be on my way. But look out for Fork-Stealer the friendly Argonian in-game! If any of you Covenant players need a hand or some entertainment, he's your man. Or, well, lizard. Lizard-man. Whatever. I'll also have characters in the other alliances at some point, and I'd be delighted to join the Downtime Defenders as well!

    Happy adventuring, comrades. Thanks for such a great forum thread. :)

    What did you all have for lunch, dinner, or whatever other mealtime in your timezone?

    I just finished separating all the chicken meat from the bird I roasted last night, and am making a mushroom and tomato sauce to go on top. It would be cacchiatore, but I'm going to add a hint of cream BECAUSE.

    Edit: and I was planning on having a bowl of cereal, so thank you for the time to cook.
