    I dont know what you are talking about (cough cough), please dont look at my sig to see a V1 Khajiit DK waiting to unleash the furry. Haha.

    Hopefully it will be easy to get people to run all the old dungeons again. I am going to need undaunted leveled on three toons.

    Yeah...levelling Undaunted to 9 on all my new alts is going to be quite a grind. Not looking forward to that. Fortunately, you can solo or duo pretty much all of the group dungeons these days. Might make it a little easier.

    The Spanish Inquisition.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Um. It's not being released on Monday. It's being released on the 31st--on Tuesday.

    Probably because ZOS doesn't want a long downtime on Memorial Day. And probably because ZOS employees don't want to come in on Memorial Day to push out the DLC.

    I expect the people who don't keep up with forums and the coming changes to be shocked and pissed off at the skill and passive changes. I know when I got into the PTS I was pissed at the changes...I still am but at least its not going to be like a bucket if ice water in my face when it goes live.

    Couple hours downtime for the patch, a few minor bugs, an a pile of qq.

    Watch a movie, avoid the forums.

    That's kinda silly. I understand it's a holiday but most people will have the day off and will be expecting to play. You think they'd have it done for the holiday.

    You would have to be crazy to take the day off on Tuesday for this. I suggest taking the following Friday off.

    It would be madness to schedule a big update/downtime for a day when most people are free to play the game. It would be equal madness to schedule it just before then so that if and when issues arose most of the team were off. End-of-week or weekend downtime is never sensible, it's best done at the beginning of the week, but not when the beginning of the week is a public holiday.

    No experienced gamer ever plans his time off around patch/update days, he/she knows better than that. Yet some less experienced gamers do, and they invariably end up making rage posts about how they planned their free time around an update that everyone else could have told them would only ever end in tears because of extensions to the scheduled downtime, unexpected bugs and exploits, and the resulting extra unscheduled downtime for hotfixes (and, if you're really lucky, rollbacks). Even if things go smoothly an update day will attract enough players to cause performance issues, login queues and the like. The wise ones go and play something else that day because, guess what, they know that the update will still be there in a day or two's time.

    Half a day to download, a whole bucketload of crashes to get in, laggy new zone, bugged everything. Another day in the life of a DLC release.
