What is wrong with providing hours in GMT?

No need to be mystical like Khajits.

Sure ! Who else ZOS cares about EDT ?!?

Hey y'all. Right now we're looking at around 1pm EDT to complete maintenance, though please understand that's just a rough estimate. We'll let you know if that changes as soon as we have some more information.

Way too go to screw over your EU customers. During day we have maintenance and in the evening Cyrodiil is a freaking lag fest. Awesome.

I'm not a developer and have limited knowledge of these things, but wouldn't it make sense to have 2 servers each for both NA & EU to avoid any maintenance downtime whatsoever? For example, EU server A is up while EU server B is under maintenance, then server B goes up while A is under maintenance, and so on... Sort of a leap-frog thing. I'm sure there are reason why this isn't the case, but... thoughts?

Probably it is a bit expensive. These equipments are not cheap to keep a spare machine offl most part of time when maintenance is not happening.

Just a quick note to let you all know that we have encountered a technical issue during today's maintenance for the NA and EU PC/Mac megaservers. As a result, the maintenance window has been extended. Apologies for the extended downtime. We'll keep you updated; thank you for your patience.

Stand in corner and shame on you! You are kidding us gamers every week again. And by the way your "every-man-will-understand-but-we-don't-say-anything" excuses are hardly to except anymore. Also I begin to wonder, why the hell I do pay my fee every month since 04/14 to get be ... now every single patchday with overwhelming troubles by the best support team ever.

You know you have a eu server that majority of the players are eu based? Would love if u could post ETA in CET or GMT for the eu server thanks.

ZOS only care about NA Players that is perfectly clear

K. this is the like 4th time this month you guys have done extended 'emergency, oops, we screwed up' maintaince on days where I'm actually able to play the game. I pay you money every month for the roughly 12 days a month I can play and so far you've screwed me out of 4 including today.

That's a quarter of my playing time you're absconding with this month. This is unacceptable and you're gonna be getting a support request asking for a partial refund of my subscription time because this is *** ridiculous.

*shrug* if they don't, I'll be cancelling end of month and just buying the Gold Edition digital when it comes out instead of paying each month to them money they aren't earning.

So the server will be up in one hour. Theoretically.

There has been a "technical issue" EVERY SINGLE maintenance for the last month with extensions that take away a game day for the EU players.....

Ever since you pulled EU and US servers together these "technical issues" has been there every single time.

This. As sad as it seems, this past month has been highly annoying on mondays. It's the old 'European customers get the ...'-problem, because extended maintenance that ends on early afternoon hours by far isn't as frustrating as maintenance during prime time. The fact that this has been happening consecutively for the last 4 or 5 patch days really looks as if nobody at Zenimax cares much for EU players.

It is exactly the opposite: Zeni loves us so much that they want to make it better for us. This then takes longer though.

raglau · August 2016

Just come back to the game after a year off, generally pleased with the changes I see.

But clearly some things never change. ZOS not quite got the hang of patching yet, and the age old hunt for an official patch announcement amongst obscure forum posts.

Hello everyone,

Today at 5:30pm EDT (in about 20 minutes), we'll be bringing the PC/Mac EU megaserver offline for a short, mandatory maintenance. We're currently estimating downtime to be approximately one hour, but we'll let you know if that changes.

Thanks in advance for your patience.

It used to be like that until some 6-7 weeks ago. The troubles all started when they clustered the maintenances into one event.

I think we as players already spent so much money with this game that we can request some kind of refund for this long breaks. We get no information about ETA, and even when we get it it's written in NA time zone, little weird. Such issues are since year and all we received as refund is "Thank you for your patience" sentence. Please be so kind and start taking us players seriously, many of us are mature people who are spending their money on this game to receive in back a well-working service, many of us are ESO+ members and we are losing average few days of playing each month because of this "maintenance" thing. Please consider to release some more detailed info's or find out a way to refund all this lost time especially for ESO+ members.

It must take awhile to get those bears back in line

And why isn't this posted in the official maintenace thread?

After 7 hours people have to dig through ONE of the MANY maint threads to find this?

I'm sorry lads, that's a bit unprofessional.

I kept checking the "Maintenance Announcements" section looking for something regarding why, once again, the maintenance is seemingly taking forever.

Seems like a good place to put that information imo.

Fixed an issue that was causing the game to crash for some players, ultimately causing unexpected server downtime.

Glad it was fixed. Now the game wont load for anyone and surprisingly not so unexpected server downtime.

Is this gonna finally address the people crashing to the loading screen with no error message with varying intervals? absolute joke of a game at places, the running and management of this game is laughable considering you need at least 5 years experience of programming and experience on previous games to work here, and they hire the biggest clowns possible to patch their game over and over again until the game is so broken they require 8 hour maintenances every Monday.

How do they get away with this?
