    WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG???????

    It takes longer than you think to wipe all of the spilled coffee out of a server.

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

    Unfortunately, ZOS doesn't give a damn about guilds. Any other day, I would happily be playing something else. Tuesdays, I'm having to batter the login button to get in to make sure my guilds have traders.

    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!

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

    What you describe doesn't actually sound like that quest to me. (quest name, "Nothing to Sneeze At," given by Tilenra Sildreth.)
    There is a congregation of cats near the end of that quest, outside the door of an Altmer's shop in Suran, but it is part of the quest, and I'm not sure if you can see them if you aren't the one doing the quest.

      I *have* come close with him. Thankfully, he hits the back half of the seat which leaves me room to sit on the edge if I'm already fully committed to the sit.
      I'm in my 50s and have had cats around me my entire life, so I've become wise to their ways, and I've gotten used to the fact that he gets triggered whenever he hears the floor squeak outside my bedroom door. Plus, he's a big boy and not silent as he makes his charge, so I hear him coming. I keep hoping "maybe not this time...," but he always comes running if he's not already in my room.

      My heavier cat, the "little heffalump" as I call her, is the one I am most likely to sit on as despite being very heavy she is lightning fast in getting into my seat. She has a habit of doing it when I have my hands full with a tray of food ... mine, not hers. The other one is more likely to be clambering over me and getting in the way. They each have their quirks and habits.

      Unfortunately one of their more annoying habits is they like waking me at 3am or other silly times so they are shut out of my room over night. Much to their disgust and blatant trickery and sneakiness in trying to get in there and find a place to hide.

      I have to keep my door shut at night, too. A big big tabby boy and an ebony girl - both rescues and still a bit feral - they always will come in but never sleep with me. Just on the bed and up to a window sill. Jarring. If they would just conk out on the bed, I'd be happy. For all that, they are affectionate in their own way and get along swell.

      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!

      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).
      Can you please next time select a different window for maintenance, not during peak online.

      PS 12 hours for a firmware update? I can completely reinstall dozens of servers from scratch during this period.

        I logged on at just after 6am this morning to do my dailies since I was up early anyway and was anticipating this sort of nonsense this evening. But still annoying and boring to wait. Just wish they would communicate as to what is happening.

        Sadly, due to computer trouble, I have had to reinstall ESO, and unfortunately it didn't download fast enough and hit maintenance, so I am waiting until maintenance is over so I can hopefully get it installed and see if it will work and hopefully get my daily freebie.

        Apparently I was wrong. ESO kept downloading so I was able to get in surprisingly quickly.

          You really don't care about Europe... Basic decency requires giving us at least all endeavours seals and login reward for that day. But no. Even this bare minimum is too much. But what am I expecting after all these years?
          Disappoitment as always.
          I don't know... Is this some kind of mentality difference between Europe and NA? I would be ashamed for treating my customers this way.

              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!

              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).

              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.

              while backend maintenance is boring, an initial window of 11 hours is still 2-3 times longer than the normal maintenance window so it would have been better if there was some explanation why the long downtime

              it took 2 threads about the maintenance to get them to even mention that there was a delay on the maint making it take longer than expected

              i think thats the kind of communication that people are expecting that isnt happening

              Well, something like firmware upgrades isn't a quick and dirty one and done. Now, I don't know what sort of server blades they're using - but the only time I ever had to do a firmware upgrade on a machine of my own the warnings were over a page long, and didn't really give me anything but "palpitations" to quote my grandmother.

              That whole thing went "okay" - but I was very worried the entire time. After that, I just paid someone to do it. It was easier - if the shop screwed the pooch, THEY would be on the hook (that was "back then" - shops now have "exclusions" of course).

              In any case, anyone expecting ZOS to provide chapter and verse ahead of time hasn't been around here long....
