What ?? Really? You said that?? WoW !
yea I did. Why doesn't it make sense that an US made game hosted on US servers wouldn't prioritize US prime times? It would make sense to me if it was the case with any other country it is simple logic, I dont understand why you would disagree.
Because ESO is not JUST a North American, EDT MMO. It is WORLD WIDE.
Yes the EU servers are in NA, right now, but they will be moving to Europe in the future.

You are not being rude and I do realize that. I just don't understand why someone wouldn't understand that a company based out of the US would prioritize US prime times over say Australia...
I can't see a rational argument against that.

Hahaha I'm right there with ya buddy. I'm just saying the age range for this game since it is mature but of course you will have teenagers playing is an age range that is more likely to be home on the computer at noon on sunday than midnight on saturday.bkpiazzab14_ESO wrote: »except those of us with kids

I'd be willing to bet there are more 20-30 year olds playing this game then teenagers though honestly.
PC gaming tends to attract an older audience from my experience.2 -

Hey, we just want to vent and rage. Stop calming us down and making us feel like everything is going to be ok. OMG, THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END HERE! My weekend is destroyed if I have to go do laundry instead of gaming! It’s not like our complaining will stop them from fixing what needs to be fixed anyway… Have a pitch fork… join us.

Anthony45122✭✭✭You think 20-30 year olds are at home playing on the computer more on a saturday night than noon on sunday? I know some of us have kids like me that do sit home at that time but most of the people I know in that age range are out on saturday nights.0

If they were to do that, then they would run the risk of offending a Large group of people from different areas of the world; not to mention a Large amount of Income.
I can not see them prioritizing anyone over anyone else. My money is just as good as someone else's money half way across the globe.

it is easy to disagree when you are not in the same situation.
I bet if the shoe was on the other foot, you would be here also complaining that they brought the servers down during your sunday afternoon play time.
As many have stated there is no good time to bring them down.
but seeing as this is emergency and not scheduled then everyone's point is moot.

We're not complaining about "unscheduled maintenance." We are complaining that a non-gamebreaking issue for many, if not most people (I still question as to whether the people having problems are trying to run this game on hardware below minimum specs or with shoddy ISPs, or GBs of *** downloading at the same time or something, since I'm having no real issues), is the cause of PRIME TIME maintenance. It would be different if they were patching a major exploit (like Cyrodiil population controls not working??!) or something like that.
To be fair, if you couldn't log in, you'd think it was game breaking.
I can't login. On a DSL line with a high-end, Alienware gaming machine worth several grand that has previously played the game fine and lag free... as long as the servers were actually up and running at the time.
There are a lot of people having issues logging in - if it was a small percentage, they wouldn't take the servers offline on a weekend and alienate and annoy the other massive percentage able to play. I suspect many of the wary people waiting to see if the game was worth buying decided that it might be, and we're being hit with the second wave this weekend.
I'm far happier about what I haven't had to do - sit in a wait queue. I haven't seen a wait queue ever, since about three Betas ago. I can understand the crashes and wait patiently, I'd be far more annoyed if while the game was up, I *constantly* needed to wait 45 minutes to 3 hours to login. The downtime is frustrating, but at least there haven't been lines I've had to waste time in waiting.

I would absolutely complain. What I would not do is try to argue that it doesn't make sense for them to prioritize (other country who made the game) prime time....because that makes no sense.

Laerian✭✭✭By the comments, I guess the maintenance affects mature aussies without kids trying to play on Sunday.
You know, aussies always get screwed by maintenance times

They do prioritise though. Which is why they have set scheduled time for early morning for both EU and NA servers on a wed, and sun. Which just happens to be my evening times.
if its midnight there, go to sleep and wake up extra early to get you fix. You won't lose any time that way.Who has time? But if we never take time how can we ever have time?0 -
Skjlvald✭✭✭So I work 3rd shift.... I got off Friday morning exited to play and it was down from 8-1 and all the while had to go in to work Saturday night. So clearly I didn't get to play that day.
I just wake up now excited to play on my only night off this week. Seems the game is always going down exactly when I am off of work. Clearly it's not going to come back up until I have to go to sleep again.
I may have to cancel it until I maybe get a different shift. idk

Alyrn_Grey✭✭✭ahh well i logged off about 3 hours ago and everything was fine nobody complaining etc... so i just figured its just the same ol issues that have been going on for the past couple of days.
Nope, starting at about 10 PM Eastern/7PM Pacific most people started to fail to login with interesting and creative errors. Those who did make it in found everything from other peoples characters, to their own banks missing slots and stuff and stats reset and well lots of fun stuff.

Not in this household, which is representative of many in rural Illinois and most of the rural Midwest US. Sunday is the day we go to church and try and stay off the computer.0 -

Just get it through your thick skulls no matter what the reason it is gonna annoy people and rightfully so.
That's fine and dandy, but have a little bit of compassion to the regular developers and IT folks who have to get paged out to respond on a Saturday night to fix an issue like this. Developers and operations engineers are people too, who need sleep and get frustrated when something they worked so hard to release have unexpected, inexplicable, critical problems like this.
