✭✭It never ceases to amaze me the number of people who come to the forums who have a highly unreaslistic 'I want it now & to work perfectly forever' attitude. & just don't have the first idea of how servers etc function
1. They didn't PLAN to take it down at primetime.... so stop saying its crazy that they did.
2. They had an serious issue to resolve which requires a reboot.... newsflash: ESO runs on computers... Reboots are a fact of life & will happen occasionally.
3. You may not have seen whatever the issue was while you were running around in deshaan or wherever... but nobody here is running their servers... they can see whats really going on with the server, we can't.... so many keyboard server tech's out there!
4. It's only down an hour or so... if you want an ESO fix go watch one of @Alcast s fantastic vMSA youtube vids or something that he's put a lot of time & effort to make!
5. I can count on one hand the number of non-scheduled maintenances in the two years the game's been running... that's pretty good, and not happening 'All the time' as others are dramatizing on here.
Rant over!

A lot of people are frustrated with how both the infrastructure and the developement of the game is going.
A lot of stuff goes unfixed for many months at a time.
On top of that this is the second time servers go down today.
I can understand why you are writing this and I see how you're just trying to be rational about it.
The truth is though, these posts come at a faster and faster pase now than they did half a year ago because they are a symptom of a community where a lot of people are getting tired of ZOS's way of handling things, or they lack of action.
I am one of those people...
While I do agree that a lot of the outbursts aren't warranted in the specific situation, they are definately warranted as a sign on how people feel about the developement of the game.
I know developers and server technicians are not the same guys, but they all work at or for ZOS, and ZOS is the target of complaints here.
I think it is totally understandable that people feel this way, and I think it is solely on ZOS.
A lot of times people are self-entitled ***, but the increasing amount of rage on forums lately is more than that.
It's a sign that ZOS is not living up to their job at maintaining the game within certain areas.

So . . . You'd rather they didn't fix it? Irrespective of whether they broke it or not.
It's not my job to find a solution that won't make ppl mad. They should have their own ppl for that.
Not what I asked
I didn't notice any problem when I was on, so I guess the fix could wait a few hours. But as I said, I'm not the one paid to figure stuff out for ZOS.
Servers can be a little like people in terms of their health, so to illustrate your logic I will replicate it for the human body...
You have an accident & are hit by a car.... you didn't plan to be, but it happened because life is unpredictable.
The medics, the ones who are 'paid to figure stuff like this out' do their scans etc... you can't see the results, or understand it because its not your speciality...
.. They say you have internal bleeding, and they need to knock you out to perform some simple surgery to make you better. It's very simple... sew up an internal cut... but if they don't then it will bleed internally and eventually you'll be seriously ill/die.
DO you turn around and say to them "Nah mate... I can't feel anything wrong in there so it must be fine, just leave it a few hours I'm a bit busy this evening yeah'?
Of course you don't... you accept that in life sh%t happens occasionally, and you let them get on with it.
Servers going down at primetime is a VERY rare occurance... lets just let them get on & fix it.

+1 for a very eloquent & rational reply
I actually agree with most of it too... and think you have a very good point, that a lot of the 'self entitled ***... raging' is a symptom of where ZoS hasn't performed in other areas and people are very frustrated.
My point is just that taking it out on them for something like a server needing an emergency reboot is focusing on the wrong stick to beat them with, & the hyperbole from some people about it happening all the time is just made up nonsense.

Oh okay, that's why they have to do maintenance at 3-4 in the morning US time? Makes no sense!Isn't the EU server in germany somewhere?
Yup. The regular maintenance hours make no sense.0 -

This!
As ZOS stated above, EU PC maintenance has been planned for tomorrow morning and apparently an unexpected problem has occured and it needs to be resolved immediately. People, make a quick decision: do you prefer to wait a while and be able to play without any issues or play now and complain about things that don't work properly. Get a life, go for a walk, clean your room... just do something... useful?2 -

They might aswell do the entire maintenance now then instead of taking the servers down tomorrow aswell, get their workers to take an all nighter if needed, show us some good will.
It's getting late here anyway, by the time they are done we will all have gone to bed.
