It is always going to be a bad time for someone.

Are you effing serious @ZOS? 4 weeks in a fricking row you have decided maintenance is best scheduled during the peak Australian & New Zealand time.
Not to mention all the unemployed Brits are also logging on.

Great to know exactly what you think of those who pay twice as much for everything.....

unfortunately with only NA and EU servers you will be in the minority quite often even if your peak time is now. The total traffic now is still probably some of the lowest even with australian/Nz/Asia. it would probably be even lower 7 hours ago, but european server is in europe They wont do scheduled maintenance at times outside of normal european working hours as the cost is probably colossal and no point (if its scheduled) for it not to be at the optimum time. eg. Minimum traffic without entailing excessive cost

Do aussies use NA or EU server?

If they can't give us our own server then the least they can do is at least rotate the maintenance times. Once every three weeks at peak time is something I can handle but this is taking the mickey, I agree OP.

Just rotate it, do it at 6am for us then 6am EU then 6am NA and then we all win, well except for EU and NA who have to deal with not playing at 6am...

Both mate.

Play on a Oceanic server cluster then. If there isn't one, then you are SOL.

3 hours from now is European prime time, so shut the servers down for the hundreds of thousands so that the 20 or so Aussies can be saved from the onerous server maintenance?

Sounds fair

@Heathenpride precisely what I believe mate. Im all for maintenance but 4 weeks in a row feels like a major slap in the face.

Why is "slap in the face" such a popular saying on every MMO forum now?

@DaveTheMinion - My point was that the 7-9am period everyday is noticeable lagwise in pve for aussies at night, around now (when server is up of course)
Although I was basically pointing out that this time period affects more than just us, It was also a tongue in cheek quip at a few brits I once played with or still play eso with that are unemployed who will probably read this.
I am frustrated obviously and do apologise for offending you.

Edit - The pay more line was not at the unemployed. In Australia & New Zealand, we pay $100-120 for a new release game.......

@Gelston must be the 20 aussies now playing mmo's on consoles!?!
Actual answer - this is my 1st mmo & only forum I look at so cant help you there.

Unlike you aussies us brits have crap weather. So get you lazy arse outside.

At 21:20 in the middle of winter? I grew up in Tasmania so I can handle the cold but even I am not keen on that idea...

Now its up exactly 10 minutes before I have to leave the house. Im gonna kill myself. Thanks.

I get your frustration mate and you didn't offend me, however I cannot speak for all the other working class in the UK that play this game.

As for game prices, my brother lives in Adelaide and always rubs it in about the weather, so I always rub it in about how much I pay for my games although I would prefer the weather.

@Ja50nX it is indeed man, I wonder if the other 18 of us feel the same way?

Also mate, that motif would be awsome mate if it's still available?

@Gelston that saying has been a popular one in our micro-nation since well before MMO's, seems the rest of the world has borrowed it!

Seriously? When manners were being distributed were you AFK?

It is this sort of attitude on the internet that makes most people cringe.

You could have said that a hundred different ways but instead you choose to insult my country, by inferring that it's a backwater with the population of a village, and insert a mediocre level of poorly executed sarcasm.

For shame.

Blah blah blah, the OP started the tone of the conversation by calling the UK playerbase unemployed. To then bring racism into things as an attempt to score points like you are shows your arguments are pretty weak even to your own ears.


I ask again, why should the vast majority be negatively affected to improve the experience of a tiny minority?


I feel the OP was actually just being facetious with his post. I feel that you are being pretty offensive with your racist accusations.
