I think that this behavior on the part of ZOS is a very serious disrespect towards the players. They don't write until what time the maintenance is extended, nor do they give the game back, nor do they write why they had to do such a long maintenance

and no compensation either, like most of the game developers do in any maintenance cases.

I actually normally wouldn't be able to log on at that time. I usually get up at 6am and exercise before work, but today I had an appointment this morning so I was up early, no time to do my exercise, but just enough to log on and do my daily endeavours and crafting writs. Just a coincidence but not normally the case that it falls like that. Usually I end up missing a day when this happens.

I have the feeling that I am going to miss a day, because I bet the game will want to start from the beginning downloading *sigh*

Do you think the Diablo servers run on the same server system as ESO?
Both are down at the same time currently, coincidence?
(insert conspiracy theory here).

Hey everyone, just wanted to give you all a heads up that we will begin opening servers in just a few minutes. Thanks for your patience - we know maintenance today has been longer than usual!

Diablo was expected to be down today to patch up for the new DLC season.

Is there a reason for it being longer than usual?

The work being done today was all backend work that needed to be completed on all Live megaservers (such as firmware updates, among many other things).

They were having an entire office attackers vs defenders keep fight in Cyrodiil, and didn't want us players to interfere or make lag.

I think firmware updates is code for greasing the hamster wheel axles.

All this talk of cats reminded me that I saw a congregation of cats in the game the other day. One appeared to be holding court and all the other strays in the area (with some delightful names I can't remember now) were wandering up to listen. Now it is going to bug me as to where I saw them. And unfortunately while the maintenance is going on I can't go retrace my steps to figure it out.

There is such a congregation in Suran, Vvardenfell. It's part of a cat quest that results in a very cat-appropriate furnishing. I highly recommend any cat fanciers do that quest as soon as possible!

Why are we only learning this after the fact though? Nearly an hour after maintenance was supposed to end. How many promises of better communication will it take before better communication actually happens? You don't even remember the Maintenance Announcements forum exists.

The maintenance is always boring backend stuff unless they announce it isn't. I don't see why they need to announce it every time. Besides, it's not exactly good operational security to announce that your firmware is out of date and requires patching.

Is there a reason we did not get any informations about a new ETA earlier? Witht he background of trying to improove communication that would be an idea, no?

Any new estimate on how much longer we are going to sit by the keyboards and stare at the login screen?

That sounds like it might be the right place. I was probably pickpocketing in that zone at the time. Thanks.

What is a "few minutes" when it comes to ZOS, its been almost 20, that's a lot more than just a few

@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks for the Update.

I have a serious question tho. Would it be to much just to add that little piece of Information to the Maintenancetime.

Like: Servermaintenance from time X to time Y (Firmware Updates etc.)

Would save you guys a lot of work and would save others a lot of brainspace for their theories as to why it takes so long xD
A bit more Transparency would literally make everyones life and work so much more chill.

Chill out go eat a croissant and smoke a cigarette or something. it'll open when it opens

I deal with community cats. A cat that lives to 15 or beyond is something for a community cat. Also hard to know for sure since wasn't there for birth. My first cat was hit by a car. 2600$ later to save her life and she died a year later from her heart murmur. Had 3 die since july. it's hard to take. When you take on a community cat you get a shortened life expectancy in most cases. My FIV+ cat was at least 16 and had a major heart attack and so we put him down rather than let him suffer and probably have another or a stroke and such. Another developed jaundice and they put him down too. His was unexpected. Likey wont have a cat live much beyond 15 if that. 20 is typical for a well cared for cat. Sadly most cats arent well cared for and the avg for a cat is closer to 15. beyond 20 is a huge blessing and speaks volumes for the care taker and the cat. Though i know nothing really. I stumble along as i go along.

I'm so sorry for your losses. My cat lived to be 18 (had free-reign over the house and outside as well--picked on local dogs which came on my property I have no idea how she managed that one but they ran off in terror lol--she could be one evil B!), and I haven't got another one since.

Feline hugs from over here.
