So, what is the name of the character you can't wait to play when the server goes back up?
Mine is Genevieve Vallei- Breton Templar of the DC.

M'iaq the Honest is concerned for the state of Tamriel. M'iaq thinks his estranged brother's immoral ways have finally caught up with him, and this is why M'iaq cannot continue saving the world. M'iaq thinks other must join him in reprimanding M'aiq the Liar.

damn, almost 12 hours of downtime and counting. I saw it had been down for about 8 hours before I went to class, didn't expect it to still be down when I got done.

Not telling you how to do your job, but maybe a better place to put this is in the server status forum for those that don't want to search 94 pages of bs for a simple answer. Plus the server forum has not been updated in 3 hours... Just sayin.

Done, thanks!

Minor correction: 96 pages.

I just said I was leaving but this thread has a way of pulling you back in! I'm looking forward to completing some heist with Fork-Stealer, the friendly Argonian Dragonknight of the Daggerfall Covenant.

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.

Question: is there a chance of this same issue happening on the EU servers and/or when can EU expect the patch v1.0.1, if NA are getting it upon the server reopening?

Keep it up guys, we know you'll get it sorted.
Thanks

Who knows, we might get it during this maintenance.

not trying to be rude but get over it, this guy is proclaiming his sexual affection for a girl, you have no right to muzzle that. RP in the game, keep it real here.

He was sexually harassing a Zenimax Online Studios employee on a public message board. I'm not going to speak up for Jessica, because it's not my place, but I'm pretty sure it's NOT cool.

Do not worry my friend. Rah'Jiin picked up that book before leaving that place. But he thought it'd be even better to let it sit within the screenshot.

Just remember that it can't be worse than the SW:Galaxies launch

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.

maybe you weren't clear enough?

Maybe you weren't in beta and need to shut the *** up about things you know nothing about. The beta was buggy as hell and I reported on basically every problem being fixed right now. They prioritized what needed to be fixed. You are looking for a group to blame and *** off like a dumb ass troll.

now now now, be nice no need to have the "Beater" attitude. At the end of the day, they fixed quite a few bugs for early access, some of these are new ones some are not. No one can expect a perfect game at launch no matter how much beta testing is done

uh oh i'm getting some page lag you guys. maybe servers are coming up?

Not every bug can or will be found in beta. It's just not possible.
No test is perfect. No launch is perfect. No game is perfect.
Years later, this game will still have bugs.
There is no such thing as perfection.
Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Not to mention the fact that many of the bugged quests were fine with multiple runthroughs of them in the beta. So, things change, HarryWolfe.

Balreths been bugged for six months man.

I guess what I meant to say was the experience changes, and just beta testing the game did not gaurantee a bug would even be seen by most people. I personally encountered no quest bugs in beta, only gameplay ones. But then at launch my progress was blocked completely in five different quest lines that I had not encountered before. And I played Ebonheart through multiple times in beta, testing the crafting and whatnot. So my point is that some of the bugs may have become much worse at launch or may have even been thought squashed. Who knows.

I again, blame this on the whole "weekend event model" of beta testing we seen become popular after World of Warcraft. Consistant testing would have probably exposed these issues by the sheer volume in which they would occur, I know myself I didn't beta test the last weekend, I wanted to keep the game fresh, and since all your beta progress is for naught, and we were LOCKED into the Stone Falls/Bleakrock zones the server population was probably a lot lower then it was in the start of the 3 day access.

I didn't understand the limited weekend beta's myself. It it comes down to ZOS fixing the actual reported bugs in the end. We cant fix them only report them.

Well since this is such a hoot and i've pretty much met a bunch of new peeps who are frankly *** hilarious, if you see me in game, come up and punch me in the head and steal my sweet roll!

I play a bosmer she-elf, red hair of course (sorry, can't help it...) Emma Leah D'Vaeh ... I'm in Fraghaus Guild (and soon Downtime Defenders hell yeah!)... seriously...say hi, flip me off..something...this has been a blast for something that could have really REALLY sucked...
