Wow, I've had fairly benign comments *edited* and this person can spew anti-Australian BS like this? Americans like this make it difficult to proudly claim I'm an American.1 -
mystercee✭✭In response to the OP....
The past couple of weeks of the changed time for scheduled maintenance has definitely thrown a spanner in the works. Here in Vic we already started DST and so scheduled maintenance would start at 11pm Monday night. That worked well.
But, as the OP pointed out, the last couple of weeks it has shifted to Tuesday night our time which is around 8pm AEDST. Additionally, the maintenance, while usually only being an hour or so seems to going 5-6hrs or longer. I dunno, can't stay awake that bloody long.
It has been implied on other threads in the forum that this change in schedule and the time involved is as a result of preparation for Orsinium. Well, considering that Orsinium is only available on the PTS I fail to see how that impacts maintenance on either of the PC megaservers.
Like the OP, I pay for sub and I am now effectively losing 1 night's gameplay each week because of change to server maintenance schedule. Where is the kickback to compensate for the loss or at the very least an explanation of why we are getting royally screwed on game time.
To those that think Australia/NZ/Oceania only represent a small proportion of players, I would argue strenuously that ZOS would soon notice if we were all to cancel our subs.
Frankly I am getting sick of tired of getting the rough end of the stick. Entire game was sent into FUBAR mode after IC was released and nothing ZOS has done since seems to have addressed lag and loading issues. If not for the fact that I love Elder Scrolls so much I would have ditched this stress-inducing, frustration-fest of a MMO months ago.0 -

Once again the previous schedule for maintenance was fine, it allowed a couple of hours in our prime time period before down time, it's not about that it's about the sudden change to the scheduled maintenance which could now not be any worse for us.Edited by SienneYviete on October 27, 2015 2:55PMDelta

I can guarantee that the Oceanic player base is bigger than the US player base at 5am. IF the maintenance was pushed back by two hours, we could have two hours more of time to play in the evenings and hardly any US players would be impacted. Some common sense, mate.I can guarantee the EU or US playerbase is a lot bigger than the Aus one.6 -
mystercee✭✭@SienneYviete Forget it mate, might as well be flogging dead horse. ZOS don't give a damn about their customers in general, so no reason to think they will care that what they're doing is affecting "that small minority".
And I think it's clear the US education is lacking, since most of the replies on this thread imply a total lack of basic comprehension.

You don't pay for having no weekly downtimes.
You pay for the free access to the DLC's, the XP bonus, the Crowns and maybe some other stuff.

✭I would like to know from those complaining: when should ZoS schedule these maintenance windows?
Keep in mind: this is a US-base server, whose vast majority of users are in US-based time zones, where the peak hours are from 5PM EST to around 2AM EST (give or take).
Also, keep in mind any answer you give that isn't "the hours they're using now seem impact the least amount of people" will make you look like an ass.

Dev✭✭✭✭Considering the game targets the North American and EU demographics, they should always have their time best suited for those audiences. Just because you can buy the game and connect to the servers from the oceanic location, doesnt mean that
- you should expect them to alter the maintenance in any way that helps you since it would potentially harm their main audience
- that any company should go out of their way for an audience which isnt their key demographic
- or that anyone in those main areas would care if you cannot play
If it means that those not in the continent for the server have awkward or upsetting time frames for maintenance, then so be it. They have to schedule based on the audience for where they are marketing.
I would also expect that any game produced and targeting an Oceanic audience to have their maintenance during the best time for that audience. Unfortunately though, i cannot think of any game that specifically targets that audience. perhaps if a game was made from an oceanic company targeting an oceanic player base, we wouldn't have so much angst over this?

So, when?
As has been stated numerous times in this thread the time that maintenance has always been was fine for us as it allowed a few hours of prime time play before the server goes down... now it has been reduced to zero.
Also it seems as though alot of people here drastically underestimate the size of the Oceanic /pacific player base in this game.Edited by SienneYviete on October 28, 2015 2:25AMDelta
