Hey all, I am working today and left the ESO Launcher on at home, just heard the update it tomorrow which is a day of work for me. I've made my fourth Alt and wanted to complete Cold Harbor with him tomorrow and get him to V1 but with the update I'm assuming the servers will be down for quite a while for such a big update?

B)

Let me know how long you assume they'll be down! >:)

    Given this is merely a content update then such a situation would be pretty appalling frankly, no reason for it to introduce server instability or many 'hotfix' restarts.

    I fully expect to be able to play as normal once the servers come up, as I have done in many MMOs after updates far larger in scope than U6.

    I hope the servers are going up and down for the next week or two after update if its because they are fixing exploits/bugs when they appear. But who am I kidding. These bugs/exploits are part of the game for the next few months.

    With 1.6, or what we like to call ESO 2.0, we will be re-launching the game. On March 3rd, the servers will come down to update the game and the servers will stay offline until we are ready for re-launch on March 17th. We decided to do this so that the game will have a "fresh" feel to it for both PC gamers and console players.

    Sorry dude.. thats delusional. With what all ZoS is changing. every NPC and skill in the game, this should really be ESO v 2.0.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    The megaserver didn't really care for math in 1.0-1.5 so I think it'll neglect it with 1.6 and everything will be fine!

    It was confirmed in another thread

    Considering the PTS was offline until late in the after noon when 1.6 hit that, I am guessing that the live servers will not be up until late day. Then the huge patch hits the clients after that. So, figure a few hours for that.

    So, no game tomorrow for most people I would imagine.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    lol, thats not how coding languages handle math. As much as I don't like the big numbers 500050 - 400040 and 600 - 500 are no different in performance when it comes to coding the difference is decimal points and the difference between constants integers and floats. A constant is exactly what it sounds like its 1 number that never changes so the computer only pre-loads that 1 number for that block of code, floats and ints are a bit more expensive as they pre load a million different variables unless defined as a constant int. I cant remember if you can define a float as a constant but I'm sure you can as a float is just a hole humber there are a lot more defining calls in blocks of code but those are the basic 3.

    The PTS server was down for 6-7 hours when 1.6.0 was deployed to it; but some of that time included a character copy which will not occur. I expect Tuesday's update to require about 6 hours of time.

    The currently booked window is 8 hrs, but that means little. If it goes well, it will be up in 7hrs, but we all know there is always some issues.
