Karamis_Vimardon✭✭✭✭Glad they are doing some upgrades, but boy did I pick the wrong week to take off and spend some quality time with my games
Which is another reason, besides good business and PR practice, that they should inform the player base that we can expect a10 hr maintenance on Tuesday.... And if they are going to change hardware tomorrow... How long will everything be down for that? Is so curious to me that MMO companies always treat their customers with such disdain while pushing for more money to be spent on their pixel items and DLC. Informing us is basically a display of good manners and professional conduct.
Up to 6 hours expected, there's your good manners and professional conduct.

In case anyone is confused the maintenance scheduled tomorrow is not to improve anything. It is an enhancement to ensure that maintaining one server does not crash the others anymore like it did today, thus delaying the actual maintenance.Guildmaster of Power With Numbers in PS4 NA Server's Aldmeri Dominion.

M_TeK_9✭✭✭That means they probably just fired the dimwit who broke it yesterday and replaced him with a new guy aka hardware.0

altemriel✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭awesome!!
hopefully they would upgrade it so, that the server will not lag anymore when in large scale fight!!!
maybe they could upgrade them so, that the could finally drop the non-sense AoE cap and introduce spellcrafting!!!
increasing the server capacity this way would solve a lot of PVP problems!!!0 -

Because that may have been true at the time. There may have been issues in the software that were the root cause. Yes, upgrading the hardware is an option, but it wouldn't fix the issue solely until software bottlenecks were resolved first. Once the bottlenecks were cleared out, other issues may have shown that, yep, while X was a major performance bottleneck, now that that's fixed, it turns out Y is equally as bad.I remember Sage saying in a video about how they can't just add more hardware and the lag will be magically fixed.

well both sides of this issue have to be solved (software and hardware). maybe some software bugs would be solved with server capacity increase, as they are due to calculations lags.

During this process, all European megaservers unexpectedly became unresponsive.
What part of "unexpectedly" is it that you don't understand ?
The maintenance was announced. Was longer than expected due to unexpected. Wanna hold "unexpected" against them ?

Tors✭✭✭✭✭You are all making a massive assumption that this is a real benefit to you.
They have not said what they mean by hardware upgrade.
Its probably just the fans on the blade chasis that keep dying and need replacing.
At least the servers wont overheat.
If this was increased processor type stuff or resouces being given to actual game play that you will notice then they would have made a massive song and dance about it.
Instead this comes out as an addon to a crash and a forced "hard ware upgrade"

Agreed, hasn't happened in months, unfortunately people forget all the stuff that actually gets fixed, and just focus on the negstives.
Like someone said in another thread, there wasn't lag when the gsme launched, and ZOS introduced it somehow due to monitoring software because there were hundreds of people hacking the game and cheating in cyrodil.
So now zos gets flamed for lag, but if these people hadn't been running rampant with cheats they wouldn't have had to try and prevent it.0 -

✭They are just upgrading the hardware for Orsinium. I don't think this will fix the lag but we can hope.

It's possible the upgrades are related to unplanned outages. I hope they are performance upgrades but they may be nothing more than redundant power supplies, or something of the like. Crossing my fingers it's performance related.Edited by Armitas on October 28, 2015 10:29AMRetired.

That's right. This isn't just your ordinary, run-of-the-mill maintenance.
Let's hope this fixes the lag.
No pressure or anything...
