Im not from the us, but i googled Seattle time zone and it says the current time there is 05:30 AM. So i'd say a few more hours until atleast 1 status update.

I know everyone is eager to get PTS and/or patch notes, but let's try to keep things in perspective.

Usually, PTS doesn't come until a month before release. On that timetable, we shouldn't even have PTS or patch notes until October. Even if the timetable slips to next week, it will still be very early.

I'd like to note that they said at Gamescom One Tamriel is coming in October. Your time table is off by a month.

I feel so much better now, thank you.

Yeah, I really think they're trying to hype up One Tamriel at PAX before releasing the PTS patch for us and the public. No reason they couldn't have foreseen a five day delay of such a huge patch.

Besides, for us SEA people it's already 2nd Sept, hope the PTS is up soon...

Server's been down for 24 hours now

You might need to check your calendar as of right now, it exactly one day that PTS has been down for, and the delay has therefore only been about 16 hours.

Oh man guys, deepest apologies for the delay here.

Unfortunately we ran into an issue with the build for PTS, and maintenance will need to be extended until we can get things remedied. We'll give you an update as soon as we can tomorrow.

@ZOS_GinaBruno You could just be honest and tell us that you're keeping the server offline until you can announce and demonstrate the big changes at PAX since having it live before then could allow major announcements to be leaked early. Sure you stated you'd be updating yesterday before someone realised the problem, but we prefer honesty even if comes from genuine mistakes otherwise it makes your PR team look like they have the mentality of a 5 year old.

The PR 'team' is one person, I think. One person more than last year, yes. I doubt that they are holding back PTS for marketing. It is more likely due to a major bug. With ZOS, it is always best to assume bug first.

I think they are referring to the fact that the PTS was originally scheduled for Monday Enodoc. .

I don't remember ZOS ever saying that; the most they said before Wednesday was "this week" and "the beginning of September", both of which are correct.

More like a couple days. They said October 31. I was rounding.

@Enodoc The official article did say that it would be 'early' this week... given that wednesday is the middle of the week I can understand people saying monday/tues.

I'm sure I've seen somewhere else official that said Monday too...

But hey *** ... at least its just PTS.... it's not like the Live server is down..... & I think we'd all agree that if there is a bug big enough to cause a delay that we'd rather they fixed it then stick it out there straight away.

Sure... but the thing is, what we want now is not really the PTS... that can wait... what we really want right now is... natch potes ! Too bad we can't have one without the other :'(

No matter which one it is, I do admit the fact that Pts Notes got release before a worldwide show on the subject is kind of uninteresting for them. (Worldwide as they are filming and transmitting on WorldWideWeb).

Kind of agree with their choice if one there was. Only thing which could have been nice is a little bit more follow up on the matter.

Probably get someone from Baltimore to keep english forum updated as it was possible @ZOS_GinaBruno was going to go through some issue with Airplane wi-fi.

Hopefully presentation will go as plan at Pax and we will have everything by tonight !

Good luck guys !

One makes a lot of assumptions with ZOS, such as competency.

Anyway, poor communication and fingers in ears PR is more wishful than another bug. At least PR mistakes can be fixed with a correction or apology, another maintenance bug on a separate server to the already traditional live server maintenance bugs makes me far more concerned on their technical proficiency and long term future of the game. If they seemingly don't invest in the hardware until it dies or has issues then it doesn't translate as long term investment into the future of the game.

OK, this is weird - I opened up the PTS and got a download. But it's been forever since I opened it, so I don't think it's the One Tamriel download. And then again, it just got stuck at 97% with 0.03MB left to download. Has this been anyone else's experience?

People are forgetting, Monday is a federal holiday and I seriously doubt ZOS will be working on Monday, so the Natch Potes will be either later today or Tuesday at the earliest.

Not necessarily forgetting, just not knowing in the first place
Since that is the case though, they're probably doing all they can to make sure it does happen today. I doubt they want to be at PAX without having the PTS to refer to, as that may well have been intended to form a major part of some of their presentations.

I didn't want to do this. I'm peaceful at heart... and I abhor violence... but desperate times... They call for desperate measures.... It's time use the use the big guns....Capslock...ENGAGE!
