Longest hotfix maintenance ever

agelonestar

So we’re getting a huuuuuuge hotfix maintenance to fix Tales of Tribute - the card game played by about 0.01% of what’s left of our population, but nothing to fix the shopping list of bugs, errors, and nonsense from Writhing Wall and the last update?

Diabolical!

8 hours downtime during an event for a hotfix nobody cares about ???

herkemur

I'm completely with you on this. The cumulative effect of all these "patches" will drive people to less junked up games.

There is a leaderboard for this crappy cardgame ? Lol yeah it must be very important to fix 😄🤷🏻‍♂️Best they can do is just patch the whole card game out of the game….

Wait what? Dude.
I have a week off, yesterday the weather was bad so I was like 'nice, gonna chill and play ESO'.
Maintenance day.
Today I had other stuff to do, but I told myself 'well tomorrow I'm definitely just gonna chill and get some ESO time in', and now this? 8 hours, for a hotfix, for a leaderboard? I hope they made a typo in the announcement there because this can't be right.

It does feel pretty bad that a long unplanned maintenance is for TOT of all things lol

Wise_Will

Seriously, 8hrs!!! for TOT highscores? can it not just wait until the next update? again... 8 HOURS?!?!

Brumme

Now again....
8 hours for a measly patch for something no one uses?.
I have to admit that I'm starting to get a little tired of the long downtimes, maybe it's time to play something else

Wise_Will

I almost want to report the announcement post for trolling.

This is totally wild, urgent maintenance with 8 hours downtime to fix ToT, but *not* all the issues that came up with the event? Or all the animation memory reduction problems? Or any of the zillion bugs that actually affect most of the core of the game that we're told we have to live with till the next incremental?

It's only gonna get worse. Ten years of patches and hotfixes are building a skyscraper on a foundation of sand. The term foresight has no meaning.

April fools is late this year.

To be fair, it's been edited. This is what it said before.

I'm pretty sure that was edited in later.
Still an extremely long time for the second maintenance this week, during events.

That was added after I made my post. You can see the edit date stamp.

That said….. so what? Writhing Wall was already full of bugs and issues, and Update Whatever has only exacerbated the problem. Half of what they introduced with the update is broken in some way, and they broke more besides. But what do we get? An incredibly lengthy hotfix in the middle of TWO events, for the least of issues.

I would like to know how the code got bugged given there is nothing in the patch notes that would indicate they were changing this code.

Spaghetti code + carelessness + incomplete testing = bug city

We get it...

Most of y'all hate ToT. But others enjoy it and want to see issues involving it be resolved as quickly as possible.

LunaFlora

i had no idea about the edit. nonetheless, people do in fact play and enjoy Tribute.

if PvP leaderboards were broken i would want them fixed too despite how much i dislike pvp

Bought a PS5 Slim yesterday. Did not buy ESO.

tincanman

Imagine if stuff was thoroughly tested before pushing to live?

When PVP leaderboards were broken it took 2 weeks to fix. No special downtime.

Then I hope you get paid a lot because that is a terrible job to suffer through each day.

Wow! And they wonder why players are disillusioned

Well they had to say SOMETHING instead because the original announcement is INSANE.

But leaderboards? *whocares*

Islyn

HOW is it LONGER than patch maintenance? MAN. As soon as I find out what my repair costs, if it's not about a NEW CAR - it's all the GW2 expansions. This SUCKS.

iyx

ESO definitely has the most ridiculous maintenance times and duration of any mmo I've ever played.

LadyLethalla

Yep... 2nd time this week I miss out on tickets, due to maintenance. That's 4 tickets.

Siiiiiiiiiiiiighhhh...
