I wonder if they'll do anything special to to say sorry we screwed up. At the very least I expect the double AP event to be extended at least a couple days. What do you guys think? Think they'll do anything?

    They should extend the double AP event for the people who got screwed over not being able to play over the weekend. Whether they will or not, I guess we'll see. Probably depends on whether or not they got enough performance data for their purposes.

    I thought they added the AP bonus to lure players into PVP for their test. So my guess is that they won't extend that since it wasn't some kind of present in the first place. However, don't expect anything more than a "Sorry for the inconveniences. Thanks for your patience."

    [snip] calm down there buddy. DDoS is just speculation at this point, it's not certain. It's certainly not something any company will confess to. They're not gonna say, hey our security protocols are ***, and someone hacked us, hang on, we'll get this

    I don't think anything needs to be done. It's a video game, and an always online one at that. *** happens, get over it. I missed two core raids this weekend, but is it really that big of a deal? No.

    I work in IT, I know what this *** is like. And I also know how ungrateful clients are.. yes we get it. You're paying for a service. But do you really think we're sitting on our asses twiddling our thumbs?

    I swear, the amount of whiners on this forum is unreal. If you feel that strongly about, drop your sub or quit playing.

    I'm hoping they will extend it... The integrity of any data they collected is jeopardized. Many people only have the weekends to play. Saturday is probably where the highest traffic is. Having been down for practically half the day, drawing any conclusions based on jeopardized data, would just be naeve...

    Let's also not forget, regardless of whose fault it is that the servers went down, offering a product promotion like double AP, then not delivering during prime time play time, is just really bad customer support.

    they did not "screw up" this was to help learn and fix the lagg.

    they said this was a test week, all of this is server strength and server load they purposely put on the server to run tests.
    they made that very clear.
    to be nice to us about it they gave us Double AP in pvp.
    we are owed nothing. this was just a test on the server and to try and help remove lagg and learn more about lagg in pvp.

    Well this escalated quickly. People on here calling me a whiny kid. That's hilarious. I'm 34 but whatever. I'm just referring to little things they've done for us in the past when there were service disruptions. I'm not complaining at all, I love ESO and I'll never stop playing. And to the person who said I'm some dumb kid on the internet that thinks a ddos attack is a hack, here's the really sad part, I took an IT course. I'm sorry I offended you with my ignorance in this topic and used the word hack

    Uh, ALOT of companies are transparent when it comes to those things. Some companies like to keep their playerbase aware of what is going on.

    As for this dude yellin at people. We have no clue if it is or isn't an "outside attack" aka ddos because zos does not tell us what is going on. It could be that, it could be the hightened amount of nerds in cyrodiil overloading the servers. Could be something else. We don't know.

    No, zos is not going to compensate us. No, they won't extend double ap since that was not a gift to us it was merely an extra insentive so more people would play in cyro while they are collecting data to help make cyro better.

    The times when there were server issues that were actually ZOS's fault, they gave us something. In this case, it seems it was an outside fiber line that had been cut and is in various steps of repair. That's why Gina has stated some people will be able to log in and others may still have issues.

    I think it's finally time for some “goodies“ for the ESO+ players. The downtimes and issues of the last weeks have been overwhelming. I am thinking of something like 500 Crowns for everybody. It might be not much but it's at least a sign ZOS is sorry for the mess they created with Homestead on live servers.

    Yes, Cyrodiil should get a rollback for all the AP boosting scumbags (2 FULL factions and 300+ queues for the Bleakers cross-faction boosting event).
    Ever seen what happens when 2 poplocked factions congregate in one small outpost, doing nothing but flipping the flags back and forth while the other 200 are afk drinking beer and probs watching Netflix and return to millions of extra acquired AP?

    Don't extend Double AP event. Just make it a standard value. This game is already way to grindy. If someone plays PvP because he / she likes it - then even if they maxed AW skill points / titles - they will still play.
    PvE players will grind faster and faster leave PvP, not to occupy place in campaigns...

    Oh my god, i hate it when people tell me this but seriously, deal with it and move on. ITS JUST A VIDEO GAME, your life has not been damaged because of this unforseen interruption. *** happens. Seriously dont even try to argue that youre a paying customer or you deserve compensation for time lost, ZOS isnt obligated to give us anything special other than working to keep the service going, and thats what theyve been doing. *** happens and they work on it, and now its back.

    Move. On.
