Lack of Schedualed Maintenance

I raised a ticket last week, because i couldn't que for cyro anymore... Once my client crashed during "Entering Cyrodiil" and after that every time i try to que for cyro it tells me that I'm already qued.
I called costumer support and they told me it'S an known error and will be fixed during the next maintenance. Until then i could join via travel to player or group-que...
unfortunately travel to player doesn't work for pop-locked which they are most times when i play.

So thank you for not having maintenance and basicly locking me out of cyro for another week.

What about next week, buisness as usual? will there be a server restart?

You act as though they decided to delay maintenance until Thursday, two days from now not a week by the way, to annoy you personally.:p. The game doesn't consist of just you. Pro tip to help balance out the post

, you can queue for a campaign off of party members by going into the campaign window, just as you normally can for your home and guest ones, instead of porting to party member and getting an error message that it's full. You're welcome

actually, they seem to actually HAVE an excuse for this one. they wanted to add the new crown shop items they had on display (the ordinator costume, fox pet, and palmino mount), so they pushed it back to thursday, may 7th (apperently the date is one their facebook page) to be able to do that.

Why this kind of info isn't posted on, say, the game's own news page or forums, is beyond me.

Thanks for passing it along.

So if they take the servers down there are posts complaining that it wrecks the kiosk bidding, if they don't take the servers down there are posts complaining that it means they don't care a jot for PC players. Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Hey there everyone,

Just to clarify, generally Monday's maintenance window is used to push large updates or incremental patches. As there was no incremental patch this week, the maintenance period was skipped. We do monitor the servers for performance issues and perform maintenance when it is necessary.

Pushing Crown Store items is a separate maintenance that does not take the servers down, and only affects the Crown Store itself and account website.

Hope that helps!

Of course I'm personally annoyed, like you are when you try to play pvp for the couple of days but can't. I totaly get it that the game isn't there just for me, but since they stated its an known error its perhaps not just me.

Thanks for your tip anyway. Will try that.
Yesterday there was only a announcement that there will be no mainance. I don't use facebook.

well i'm sad to read that aswell. with all the major issues around (*** lag first of all) skipping maintenance it's a no sense. There still many active subscribers around that are waiting for ingame fixes. tnx

Yeah, because let's have them take the servers down for maintenance whether or not they have any fixes that are ready for implementation! That makes total sense! I mean, it's not like fixes have to go through testing cycles in dev and QA environments before being pushed to live or anything... If they're not taking the servers offline it means that they aren't doing anything about any problems! Obviously!

Hmm, where's that rolling eyes smiley?

You really think they test their bug fixes?

Seriously, I have to imagine that QA is slammed right now, since they have some big release happening in a couple weeks. They might also have other things besides console testing going on and they want to put incremental patch content into that instead of spinning off new incremental builds.

Fair enough.... I was basically just commenting on the way you wrote the post

. The suggestion on grouping with someone and queueing through the alliance war window is for real though

I'm crashing way more often than usual since the last patch- is this just me or is it happening for everyone?

Pyr0xyrecuprotite · May 2015

@Wodwo - no, not everyone, but lots of people - yes.

That must mean the 'known bugs' list must be empty .. er .. wait, it contains bugs that have been around since release, guess it's kind of early to expect them to be fixed.

They're never in a hurry with bugs. How long have we been waiting for Dolmen completion exp to be fixed now? They need a lot more staff.

In that case Monday should have included maintenance... Are there any updates regarding server stability? PvP was another lag- and crashfest last night.

Maybe that was due to their monitoring.

Aye there has been a few times where there has been no maintenance.

It will come again, so no worries:}, maybe they actually fix some stuff next maintenance:}

What worries me is, not even a server reboot!

We all know what kind of problems this cause last time a server reboot was needed.

Damn I was seeing bugs I've never seen before!

The lack of scheduled maintenance is more than made up for by the abundance of broken and false promises made by ZOS.

Cinbri · May 2015

I don't care about server maintenance as long as zos said that 7 may=Almalexia's Hand costume.

bloodenragedb14_ESO · May 2015

Elsonso · May 2015

Memorial Day in the United States.

ZOS in an email said that the PC to Console migration would be happening on the 1st of June, it'll be a big update and chances are lots of things will be broken. I foresee lots of QQíng on the forum after the migration.

If it were my business model, I'd not perform routine maintenance so close to when a large update and migration is planned to be pushed across.

P.S. Didn't know about memorial day as I'm not in the US.
