Xbox users should receive 2 days free

N0TPLAYER2 · October 2015

If we are eso plus members, we should be given two days added to our memberships. (Xbox members)

I have the rare week off from work, and the last two days instead of playing the game I planned to play during my vacation, I am stuck reading the forums while everyone complains about the game being down.

We pay to have access to our game and have our "premium" benefits. Since you've admitted it wasn't an intended outage and the mistake was on your end, I feel strongly that Xbox users should be given this time we've paid for back. Any thoughts?

That won't happen. I mean why that logic PC users should get a year and a half free since we beta tested for consoles.

N0TPLAYER2 · October 2015

You weren't paying for a membership you couldn't use. That's the difference

Wow. I don't get it. If you paid a Netflix membership, and their servers went down for two days, they would happily add two days to your current membership. How is this different?

We paid for a game that was made B2P for the console player base, then they tried to make it better by giving perks for membership. They had made promises they couldn't keep and can't keep now that they lost a large percentage of they're player base due to the console release.

It should be made fair.

Console users should probably get screwed out of as many days as PC users lost in the last year and a half.

Read the ToS, it's not guaranteed access, and believe me and every other PC user here from the start, two days is nothing.

Dude its worth it in the end, maintenance is a necessary evil and its silly to complain about them actually doing their job

This. Some of the early maintenance downtimes were...you'd play another game for a few days.

pronkg · October 2015

How about they give you 1 dollar back or 1 free crown cause that's what 2 days are worth

eligh0716 · October 2015

No I think besides today and yesterday the maintenance for this game are really not bad. Plus they tell you each week when they are so you can kinda plan ahead. If we didn't have maintenance you wouldn't be playing for even longer...I don't mind the 1 day a week to maintain the servers or even in this rare case of two days, still not bad. I do feel bad your only days off where when they have double maintenance I feel for you lol but I'm calling that bad timing. Hopefully you get to enjoy a little bit of eso today.

N0TPLAYER2 · October 2015

I understand that pc users also have been screwed over. I am just frustrated that my down time - that I planned in advance and also pay to be a member of, is down two days in a row.

I paid for a month of access. Instead I got a two days shy of a month

Seeing as it's in the terms it won't be happening, but I still feel it should be made right. Any cell phone company, Netflix, cable company, Internet provider etc would do so.

Will a post be made once the maintenance is over?

And why only the Xbox users?

KozawahGaming · October 2015

I think EVERYONE should get a couple days of ESO Plus, everyone is affected by whatever ZoS broke.

N0TPLAYER2 · October 2015

Has the pc been down two days in a row? Ps4? Didn't think so. That's why I said Xbox users

The flaw in your justification here is that those examples are examples of companies that provide a service. You pay to have access to game content. While entertainment is a service, its a whole different ballpark when it comes to games. And you're talking about less than 2 days out of a 30 day billing cycle. You can kinda see how unreasonable that sounds right? I'm sorry your schedule conflicted with down time, but I hope you check the forums at least weekly to find out about down times.

Should my college lower my tuition cost for every time my professors cancel class?

Vyle_Byte · October 2015

You xboxers aren't the only ones missing out.

Yeah, you pay a membership. Im gonna bet that you'd pay that membership even if you weren't playing ESO. Or did you get your xbox just for this game? Doubtful.

My point. You aren't the only one losing out on time and money here. Many of us still sub to this game and these 2 days affect us as well. Think you are being a tad selfish here.

Fact is though, there will be no compensation. Would it be nice? Well, sure. But the gimmie attitude around here is getting a bit... rank.

Yeah, it sucks. I know, we all know. We all would rather be playing our game then sitting on these forums talking about it. Its not a run of the mill maintenance, they are upgrading hardware... which tells me they are working to make our money go further. Guess its all in how you look at things.

For some people, assuming timeframes, yes, yes it has. You were saying?

xAPxZeez · October 2015

I agree with the OP something should be done. I will take 1$ back just be sure to give it to EVERY eso+ member that will be a lot of $$ they don't get. F2P is too attractive in this game and if your F2P this topic doesn't even concern you.

PC players you probably should get something but you did get the ability to transfer to consoles with your OP characters and dominate new ones in PvP so those of you who have did get something.

Along the same line eso+ needs more to it. The F2P model in this game is almost as good and costs nothing.
You want to increase eso+ memberships increase the QUALITY/RARITY of drops and chests by 25% for eso+ members.

Chibs · October 2015

You didn't pay for a month of access. You payed for a month of benefits. ESO is Buy to Play not Pay to Play. Do you not get that?

Tors · October 2015

I think anyone playing on a console should be given something for being the red headed step children

Um... actually.... yes. I haven't played in 2 days. PC here. Yeah. So.. there's that. Try again.

PS4 had hitches and went down too. Wasn't just XBox

To add to your point though - I don't agree. ZoS are doing this so we have a better experience on launch next week. If you read the news thread Gina rightly says "it's a necessary evil"

This has to be the first time you've used a "How about no" image that I've understood and fully agreed with. I think we're getting somewhere.

CapnPhoton · October 2015

Extra down time means they are fixing something. This ultimately leads to less long term forum whining and complaining and ZOS witch hunting thrown around due to something broken. Therefore I am all for it.

Find something else to do...

heres me thinking you were asking for 2days live membership

BlackEar · October 2015

There are other things to do in life. You are not "stuck on the forums". You chose to be here.

EDIT: I am so tired of this victimizing. Stop it.

iiKiiNG522 · October 2015

Stfu ps4 has to pay as well. plus you didnt even include all the people who pay for eso plus( xb1,ps4, and pc) so quit whining

Brrrofski · October 2015

Why?

Pretty sure it would be in the t&c about downtime due to maintenance.

Don't be so spoilt/naive.

Actually, PS4 went down at 500Am EST for about 5 hours on Tuesday morning, and then again this morning at 4 am. So yes, 2 days in a row. This is very frustrating, but like he said, they are doing their jobs. I just think of he technology and how many things COULD go wrong, and i'm happy that this is it.
