    There's nothing wrong with AI images. Post to your heart's content.

    Also damn why couldn't this crap happen last week.

    For this duration of time, err umm err, are you not doing some type of *database restore*? possibly point in time?

    You cant take this long to start things 'in order', can you??

    Since portals and teleportation exists in the game, why is there no time travel?

    There has to be an secretly technological advanced society in Tamriel somewhere. With the dwarf technology, khajiits finding a way to get to the moon, and magic, it should exist.

    Can we create a new rule where AI slop is banned?

    Don't worry, you won't be able to tell in the next gen.

    You'll get it but lose out on the last day of the month's reward. It's 5k gold and I miss it most months because I forget.

    It'll be fine.

    They *might* do something about it but I wouldn't hold my breath over it.

    So we just lost a day. Got it. I thought maybe they announced something about it.

    Nope, no announcement.

    If they're going to though it'll be announced.

    I'm in Europe and play on NA, I managed to get it before the servers went down, but not everyone did.

    Waiting, cloaked and ready. Feline crouches in anticipation...

    Cleaned the house and dived again into my chests of "Maybe this could be useful later" still sorting and thinking and unfortunately most of the useless things still go back into the boxes , one never knows what could be useful in the future.

    Reflecting on perhaps I spend too much time in this very enjoyable game while other activities are neglected.

    Baking a juicy meat-pie right now and the aromas have me salivating.

    They better do, not for just causing us lose a day but also, making us depressed. I want them to increase ESO+ Trial period to 10 days.

    If one gets super depressed about missing a day in a video game, I'd say one has a need to maybe see a therapist. It shouldn't make you depressed.

    I'm not bothered by losing a day or two in login rewards, personally.
    I just hope everything will be back in working order, and the team behind fixing the issues is alright.

    That being said, I do have an itch cause I was relogging between characters, shifting gear between them (got new build ideas).

    Got back to watching old cartoons I liked as a kid, like W.I.T.C.H.
    "AI bad" but I found a YT channel that used AI to restore this show to it's crispiness and filled in some in-between frames.

    My eyes were hurting for some reason at first, but it went away. It's nice to see your childhood as vividly as you remember it.

    Let me explain like this, I play this game because I cannot afford therapist.

    Hi, I came here to express my sorrow and rage that the server is down and I can't play right now. So here I go!!

    [snip] it's Friday night, the whole reason we subscribe is to play RIGHT NOW, you think a person who has somewhere to go on friday night would subscribe? how about no?

    OK so thank you, that's all I have got to say. Thanks a lot

    I'm bummed about not being able to play, but I 100% get why this takes its time. It's different to be annoyed at extended maintenance vs a thing ZOS has no control over, so it's fine to wait. I wouldn't want to play on broken servers, I'm glad they're taking their time to ensure everything is running smoothly.

    Anyway, I'm planning to continue my Summerset replay once the servers are up again, it's been a blast.

    I think if people know more about how the technology actually worked they would be less afraid.

    I agree with almost everything you wrote, because facts. But! Certain companies are developing robots who can do pretty scary things, so to me it seems not all concerns are invalid. I think it's very healthy to remain conscious about what we - the human race - want robots to do. Or not.

    I've been gaming since the 80s, trust me this is not even the worse mess that has happen over the years. More how zos/mircrosoft will handle the aftermath of such an event hopefully they at-least give an answer on what trigger the complete power shut down. just hope it wasn't fire or such

    But have a feeling was maintenance issue that triggered the data center shutdown and was a false flood/fire so hope they get the wiring fixed or figured out if the centered was hacked



    tBut good luck in whatever game you end up in

    Sorry it's not working out for you though.

    Not using a UPS to shutdown the servers properly when there is a power outage is a big fail.
    Hopefully, lessons will be learned from this incident.

    Why not bring back online the login server first, this way EU players will not have to wait until the late afternoon on Friday to play.

    I would suggest the same thing, IF they didn't take all of the servers (including EU) offline once they got sufficient power back to reach the EU datacenter and bring the entire operation offline to fix the issues.
    Friday the 13th.. Is real??

    For me, it's not Friday the 13th - it's Monday the 13th that gives me the super duper bad luck.

    Of course, this month is shaping up to be the one exception...

    I honestly don't get the fervent disdain I see for all things AI. I mean I get when it is totally lewd anime garbage, but this image is totally fine. I don't see the difference calling for a blanket ban on "photoshop slop." It's just colorful themed pixels, and seems totally fine.

    Mostly because it gives commercial enterprises, corporations, etc. an avenue to create art and not have to pay artists.

    AI, when used responsibly, can be a powerful tool. But like any tool, you build it, people - or in this case, businesses - will find a way to abuse it.

    It leads back to the whole "rich get richer, poor get poorer" shtick, but that's not something I will be bantering about on a Friday morning.
