Maintenance for the week of May 25:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – May 25
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – May 27, 6:00AM EDT (10:00 UTC) - 4:00PM EDT (20:00 UTC)

Poor times to do maintance.

This really is a joke. Who in their right mind thinks of it's 4:30(where everyone finishes work and school) to bring out and update. Elderscrolls are you trying to get us all to stop playing your game? It's heading that way... Then 5 hours, bloody hell pay me half and I'll do it in an hour... Let's behonest it's going to be longer than 5 hours as you never meet your targets..... Then people that are already on get to keep playing??? I was on and got booted out and then bam maintance... Think you need to put your corporate heads together and sort yourselves out.

    But you can always play on EU while NA is down, so really does it matter?

    Tbh though they could have done the maintenance earlier or later, peak time is a horrible time to decide to do it

    Prioritize. There are more important things that waiting impatiently for them to finish maintenance.

    Do homework, prepare for upcoming tests, make dinner for your partner... catch butterflies.

    Butterflies? Not a good idea. Could be a Daedric Prince.

    Here we go again...
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    I find that I'm downloading updates or can't get on due to maintenance more than I've actually played.

    Though I'm not complaining as when I DO get on I find it hard to put the controller down.

    Actually there's been more than a few times when the end of my session has been dictated by my controller dying. BOTH my controllers dying.

    This is my signature.

    Not on console - in a ZOS post a few days ago, they said that for "technical reasons" they had to do them at the same time. I don't know how they managed to do that, given that they are so separate you can't copy your character between them...

    So yeah, they are doing todays update during US daytime. Which means European Evening. Which, even on the European Server, appeared as a notification on console in US Time...

    It really is not that hard to localise time on consoles... <sigh>

    I start working at 7 am, maintenance starts at 8 am. As long as its up at 7pm when i get back its fine.

    In other words, you cant satisfy everyone at the same time. Im sorry to tell you that im happy because your mad, if you were happy id have to be mad.

    So you expect the developers to get up bright and early just so you can get on the game after work?

    But this argument isn't over someone annoyed due to it happening, it's the fact it's the peak time.... Morning or night. Then everyone's happy...

    Wow you're a genius!!!....half an hour!! Really? Mhm.

    Think you need to remove your head out of your errr, ummmm. We llyou know what I mean ;) If they don't do maintenance oh boy you would be first to complain when the game freezes on you, kicks you out every five minutes and so on and so on.

    EOSTU is an online game...maintenance comes as part of the package.

    Relax, have coffee or juice or something....let the cat out. Take a shower. Talk to another human being. Its easy once you get used to it.

    Meantime, have a good one. :p

    EU server would usually indicate EU times.. 1530hrs (BST) is a stupid time to do it! Why not do it at 0100 hrs?

    15 people to allow millions to play... Yes to your question... Motorway maintance do majority of work at night, so it's off peak time and doesn't affect majority... They will have all the coding ready so it's just upload time and initialising.

    Excellent time for one of the following:
    • Read a book
    • Do PT (physical training ... you know, that running y'all like to do in the game ... but for real)
    • Make a grocery run
    • Walk the dog
    • Watch TV recordings you've saved up until now
    • Play another video game (there are lots out there)
    • Pray, read your religious book, or whatever your preference in that area

    ... or, just come here to post.

    I never seem to understand why people think that everything revolves around their time period.

    In a game that has people from all over the world playing it, there is always someone that will be inconvenienced by when maintenance is preformed.

    Get over yourself, you aren't any more important that any other person.
