Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

NO Patch Notes, so I guess no 1.5!

As there are currently no patch notes available I take it the AIM of getting 1.5 at the begining of November has failed!

    Patch notes are not usually released until a short while before the servers come up again. Plenty of time yet!

    Hi there, folks! Wanted to pop in and reconfirm that Update 5 will be coming on Monday for NA, and Tuesday for EU. We are updating the sticky right now to make it clearer that the European maintenance is going to be very early Tuesday morning for the EU (which is very late evening Monday for those in NA). :)

    That seems pretty confirmed to me.

    No patch notes just means they have not been posted yet, usually takes awhile after the servers are back up for the notes to appear!

    Thank you @MissBizz‌ for your response.

    Still don't understand why there are no Patch Notes, do they not know what they are adding?
    Now whilst unable to play the game is when you want to read the Patch Notes, not when you want to play!
    Do they not realise they have an entire page http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/categories/official-news-discussions for keeping the communtiy informed.

    @ZOS_MichelleA why is it we have to rely on searching for the information or relying on a member of the community to give the information.

    Honestly since the launch of this game I have been disappointed by the communication from ZOS or at least the lack of.

    They seem incapable of giving clear communication on what they are doing, while admitidly the Forum is awful to look at they do have there own page to update, which if you look at, they do it very poorly.

    I knew if I put a discussion on the forum, the community would give an answer to which ZOS is unable to do themselves clearly. Whether that being a comment in another members thread or from a completely different forum that the developers seem to prefer to this one!

    They never post the patch notes until they are sure everything they are adding takes to the live server. It has been this way since release. Like people have already said, patch notes show up right at the end of the maintenance or shortly after it is done. If you want to know a good majority of what is in this update, go to the PTS subsection and read the 1.5.0 and 1.5.1 patch notes there.

    @ZOS_MichelleA‌
    maybe you could use the main forum information

    currently it says
    The North American megaserver is now offline for maintenance, and is currently unavailable.

    How about if it said
    The North American megaserver is now offline for maintenance, and the addition of patch 1.5. Patch Notes will follow soon. We look forward to letting you try the new content soon. :):)

    Customer service is easy, you just give information, make people feel excited.

    Here is their response they made the last time this question was brought up.
    Dominoid wrote: »
    I think your too hung up on the word finalizing. The reason you don't get patch notes first is because not all patches or fixes might be "accepted" by the system during update it hasn't happened in a while, but there was a maintenance time early on when they had to scrap the whole patch process because of an error encountered. In your scenario of having them released ahead of time you would have people complaining about not getting something that they were promised. At that point they would have "lost" something.

    They aren't typing the patch notes when the patch is being applied. They are waiting to see if the patch is finalized. Not the notes. On the live servers we always get the patch notes before the server is brought back online.

    You are being highly critical for no reason of a process that needs to work in the way it does.
    This is, for the most part, correct. The patch notes are generated, created and edited before the build and maintenance take place, but we do wait to see if any changes have failed before "finalizing" them. It also takes time to format them properly in the forums - the longer they are, the longer it takes. This is something we do need to do manually.

    Every patch time I see topics like this. No patchnotes, where is patchnotes and etc. First time it was ok, but now it's really annoying. Patchnotes are always at the end of maintenance!

    They said over the weekend that 1.5 was coming today. The patch notes were going to be posted regardless. Your thread like all the others didn't do anything.

    Hey there folks,

    We just wanted to drop in an confirm that Update 5 is indeed coming to the servers after their respective maintenance periods. There was a discussion related to the delay in patch notes a while back, which explains the process behind the patch notes and why they are posted later on in the maintenance period. If memory serves, the patch notes for Update 5 are the lengthiest to date, so we appreciate your patience while they are formatted!

    My Thread is hopefully to highlight the lack of offical notification of said Patch, as I've mentioned already they have an area to keep us informed of all upcoming updates and patches, however they fail to use it.
    I'm hoping in the future they will use this to keep us better informed.

    @ZOS_GaryA‌ this doesn't explain why the fact the patch was coming is not in the Offical news page
