wait, how 6 pm? did I calculate it wrong? I thought it should be 11:00 pm
I mean CET
This maint will only be worth it if by "to avoid running into issues in the future." ZoS means fixing lag in Cyrodiil and random and long loading screens are fixed. Otherwise, what exactly are you "upgrading" during these down times? Because as much as I am glad that you're trying to explain why there is maintenance, I still have no clue as to what you are exactly fixing or upgrading.

One could argue that this is only a video game and that Zenimax isn't in the health care industry, so no ones life is in jeopardy here, but you're offering a service where some members are paying a monthly subscription fee and the game is down for 10+ hours, two days in a row?! Personally, I'm not buying that this was a "planned" maintenance, rather this sounds more like a production outage that they're looking to resolve. Instead of providing spurious apologies, ZOS should give their subs some sort of compensation (an additional 500 crowns or something..) regardless of the fact if this was a planned maintenance or not.
I also understand that no company would want to air their dirty laundry in forum post, but for the love of god, show some sympathy here, especially for those of us who have been loyal subscribers since the original launch.

Some of you people are unreal with what you expect.

Honestly did zos understand what they were getting into when they decided to get into the mmo department? At times it seems like they're severely understaffed or lack leadership in key areas to get stuff done. Bugs and glitches last entirely too long and now 2 days of at least 6+ hours of maintenance smh. If it wasnt for a certain ps4 Japanese mmo's lack of good pvp id go back to that. Regular updates, holiday events, an actual crafting system that you had to work at, open world bosses that actually required a large amount of players to tackle and the ability to have almost any style on any piece of gear crafted or acquired from a drop. Yet zos cant even fix a mechanic like the hotbars locking upcausing you not to be able to cast any powers or use weapon attacks. Thats a day 1 bug btw. Even that half-***** mmo superhero mmo on ps4 would've taken the game down and fixed the load screen issue within a week of it becoming an issue. So get your **** together zos, or you'll be the mmo version of Tracy Mcgrady. There will be moments of greatness but there will be something missing that kept you from being in the company of the greats.

Did you even understand what you were getting into criticising ZOS with this petty crap? Reading this leads me to conclude that you underestimate the work that goes into running a quality MMO. Any glitches or bug fixes are for YOU... Because ZOS addresses more problems than most, they have more fixes, which take time. So get your stuff together and let them work for you, dimtwit....
So are we meant to believe that they planned to do maintenance on the login side of things and didn't expect that that game would cease to function as expected really? I don't mind maintenance usually but checked Sunday no maintenance scheduled monday hours of maintenance and now tuesday again hours of maintenance so was it last minute and they are just covering or what?
On a slightly cheerier note can't wait to get the Orsinium update played a fair bit on PTS and have collected some cool gear I know will take far longer to get on live cos karma's a bi***

As we mentioned yesterday, this is basically a preventative maintenance for the datacenter, and these upgrades need to be done in order to avoid running into issues in the future.
