astraea360✭✭I know a lot of downtime usually means software updates- which many times do not always go as planned- along with server replacement, data backup, etc. It seems like every time one of these maintenance sessions goes this long, it never is a good thing and typically means something has gone wrong and they're trying to fix it. Like a couple of times I recall they had to bring servers down again the following day to finish what they had previously started the day before.
In any case, idle hands are the devils playground, and with the game being down so long players tend to take out their frustrations in the forums.
It happens. At the end of the day this is a business like any other. Software updates are flaky, bugs happen, maintenance runs over estimated times. Some of it cannot be avoided.2 -
purple-magicb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭Going on 9hrs now. It is unusual for maintenance to take that long. It takes however long it takes though. Stuff needs to get done and they need time to do it. Last time it took this long they had some major crashes.
edit: thot maint started @ 4, but actually started @ 6 so I guess its more like 7 hrs - still a long maint sessionEdited by purple-magicb16_ESO on January 5, 2016 6:10PMI don't comment here often but when I do, I get [snip]0 -

Are you replacing the servers or something? What maintenance takes 9 hours?
Ha any engineering department on a standard work day (8-9 hours). That will be the day. (At least in my line of work)2 -

Holy crap....1pm? 9 hours, if we're lucky, for maintenance to be completed? Sweet merciful Jesus.
Are you just going to whine and moan all day? Are you capable of happy feelings?
Fanboys... Listen if we wanted to be jerked around most of us wouldn't have to pay for it. Let alone have to pay for it and it be painful and you want us to smile? Sorry pal im not into weirdo stuff.2 -

Patches are easily downloaded and played quickly and they even have a new feature now that allows for playing even while downloading so long as you have downloaded up to a certain percentage.
I may be playing this game now, but that don't mean I cannot miss some things from other games.

Problem solved. Everyone go play GW while this game is under maintenance window.Edited by astraea360 on January 5, 2016 5:58PM0 -
Armenua✭✭✭It is encouraging to me to finally see others reflect my perspective that open-ended maintenance on a regular basis without any direct thread and comment from ZoS is quite unprofessional. I have played a variety of MMOs for over 10 years and never experienced the level of irresponsibility the forum representatives demonstrate. It is also a bit concerning that they have to do 8 to 9 hours of back end maintenance so often. I love this game and it is irritating to be kept waiting, but I've come to the understanding that they feel justified and will only offer the minimum of information when pressed. And the fanboy forum guys will harass you no end if you find it distasteful.0 -

Also, @Gelston is correct in that this week's maintenance does not include a patch, but is only back end work. We're looking at next Monday to potentially have another PC incremental patch, and later this month for consoles.
When lag fix ?0 -

So yes it is indeed ZoS fault when it comes to this matter, it's taking ZoS more time to produce a patch (which is entirely the same) for the console platform.
I'll have to assume they'll end up releasing it last week of January when thieves guild comes out for PC. So basically we'll have to wait for the DLC to drop when till we receive two important things that help improve the awful performance in cyrodiil and RNG in vMA.
We still have lag on PC #NA0 -
mdylan2013✭✭✭✭✭The maintenance is scheduled to start later tomorrow than it was today (even though they started earlier). The NA maintenance will hopefully be completed soon, so MOST NA players will not have their 'prime time' interrupted.
Unfortunately the EU maintenance looks like it will be starting at 11am UK time so will probably eat into 'prime time' for most people in the UK/France.
Hopefully they will start the maintenance early again tomorrow to avoid it as much as possible.PS4/EU

TremulousXHSoul ShrivenDo a quick Google search of games made by Zenimax Online Studios.
Or if you're lazy (economical): they have ONE game in their portfolio. And that is ESO.
So, they only have one game under their belt. And it's an MMO. Not an easy undertaking.
Quit'cher whining and give them a break. At least the game isn't like it was at launch, as people that've been playing that long have told me, a guy that just got ESO from the Winter sale.1 -

✭Funny that a worldwide game has its interruptions carefully scheduled to not damage "prime time" of players that can stay awake for all night and early dawn. XDI am the very model of a scientist Salarian, I've studied species Turian, Asari, and Batarian.
