Yet another event with unplanned maintenance...

Jaraal

Can we get another day of Whitestrake's Mayhem to make up for it? That's a lot of AP and rewards boxes missed, not to mention having to start the hours long queue all over again.

Yes, it's a pain, especially on the weekend. But it's worse to leave the game up and running with so many issues going on.

I logged on to the forum today to request that they reset the servers because Cyrodiil performance has gotten really bad the last 24 hours, and it's totally borked right now. So it's good they're taking the server down and resetting it I think.

The fix for the crazy long queue is to raise the population cap.

I already Own Wrothgar Orsinium but yet I have to now miss my game time on a weekend? Geez Louise. I work tonight. I hope we get something in return for this.

Gray_howling_parrot

Only a couple hours at least on the positive side

Gederic

X to doubt its only 2 hours

kwinter

How about keep the servers up it give the reward on another day after you figured out the issue

kwinter

Just put it the crown store for free for a week so players can get it that way. Taking servers down for weekend during event isn’t smart unless it’s game breaking

Maintenance during a PVP event on a weekend day when we have a ton more pop in PVP. We should get another weekend of White Strakes !!!

People didn't just not get Orsinium. It can't be redeemed and is blocking people from any further rewards for the month. The Daily Rewards are pretty much dead until this is fixed. I don't think the player base is going to like being locked out of all daily rewards for days or weeks while waiting for a more convenient time to take servers down. 2 hours seems a reasonable downtime to fix such a major issue, even during an event. This being a bug in the first place is the problem, not the fix.

Maintenance is only on PC NA... so they decided to test their fix in prime time on the NA server instead of anywhere else. LOL.

So wait til 4 am tonight when they normally do maintenance and give automatic credit for the day 2 login... losing this time on a Saturday afternoon during MYM is far more game breaking than having a day of delay in receiving daily logins

Also interesting that they are testing the fix on the server with the most time left in the day. The other servers are much closer to the end of their game day.

dosco

It's around 19:15-20:15 in EU, if that's not prime time idk what is

EIGHTS

No!!! I hate PvP event.

CrushDepth

Today's outage was for "testing". Testing on a Saturday afternoon is beyond stupid, regardless of the outage duration. They could have definitely waited for a better time to test and that is for sure and for certain.

The test had to be early enough that they could decide what to do before the day is over for the EU players. After that, the mess becomes much bigger.

I'm pretty sure, from what they have said, they will only know IF the fix works - by doing the Maintenance.

colossalvoids

Wasn't the issue solved by players porting places, read: played the game?

@ZOS_Kevin would be a good idea to extend MYM as only PvP event we have, not because tickets but because PvP that's actually happening and will be missed on a weekend people waited for.

No, it wasn't solved. Yes, some players were able to resolve it by porting to certain DLC locations but not everyone.

My Xbox acct, and my alt PC acct that have no DLC except Murkmire and IC still can't claim the Day 2 reward.

Aylish

At least you PC NA people will (hopefully) be able to claim your March‘s rewards as intended. Many EU players missed it or will miss it before our servers get the hotfix, since our reboots take place 6 hours after reset for 3rd day.
Some players don‘t have access to the workaround zones and won‘t be able to reach day 31 at all.

@anadandy

Try porting in and out of Betnikh until you can claim your reward. I have heard that works.

@Aylish

VisitHammerfell

We definitely should get another day, but there is maintenance scheduled for Wednesday so not sure how that would work. Perhaps extend the Mayhem later in the year by a day? Gift us some AP as a oops sorry?

You can port between zones you have unlocked, not just dlc ones. Worked still for many. Also relog was working afaik.

Didn't know about anyone where none of those steps helped yet.

Many people are still not getting their daily rewards after the emergency patch.

Yeah, after reading a page there was at least one person whom travelling never helped, which might say there's at least some who in a same boat.

Still MYM surely would need an extension as it's not the last maintenance needed yet.

Calastir

Can't even switch characters with 10 minutes to go until maintenance due to sudden constant "lost lobby connection"...

Drammanoth

3-4 hours downtime...

Seriously? And No, I don't mean ZOS, I mean people who have no life outside ESO.

Calastir

Apparently people with lives outside ESO spend their time on forums complaining about paying customers cheated out of their weekend gaming time?

Maitsukas

A maintenance for a few hours does not mean the end of the world.
