1. Yes the time they use to maintain this game is a tad long.
2. Doing it in the middle of EU daytime is not very user friendly.

But Saying stuff like you will stop paying for the game, and that you regret paying for 3 month playtime just sounds silly.
The game is being maintained for your enjoyment, and its maintained so that you will have less bugs to get anoyed about.

Your money pay for the employes that fixes the bugs, and maintains the servers.

We all wish they would maintain faster, and make patcher faster, and loadtime better, and better fps in cyro.

We all survive 1 day out of a month for server maintenance.

I understand the frustration, but try to complain with words that does not make you apear totally desperate.

I am sorry to say, other games manage to do this better. And the more players make their annoyance known, the better. Quite honestly, the maintenance policies in this game are weird enough as is.

- no clear schedule
- no decent twitter communication on maintenance/downtimes and so forth
- too long maintenances. 4 hours + for a regular maintenance is too long. Other games do with less.
- bad timing of maintenance. The EU servers should be taken down late in the European night (past 1 AM) and not during the day.

I assume Zenimax is a small company and cant afford to do this!

The reason they'd not be able to do maintenance times separately is due to the fact that both servers use the same client. This means that if the do NA on a Monday and EU on a Tuesday for example. It would mean that the client will update and EU players will not be able to log in until Tuesdays after the server has been updated to match the updated client which would have updated with the NA players maintenance.

Pathetic, just pathetic. Regular maintance and you cant do it right.

Their version of european maintenance is to turn off server then go for 6 hr nap.

Well i dont understand why maintenance needs to be done in the middle of the day!
For me currently is 16.42 and the maintenance is extended.

Because the earth is round and there are these things called time zones and ZOS can't please everyone.

This is honestly getting to the point where it's ridiculous. On another game I played before this EU and US shared the same client and accounts, yet didn't need the exact same maintanance times. Usually EU was before US, and if you had updated on EU you were locked out of US for half a day. Tough luck, basically, but people didn't mind this at all.

In the past month there has been at least twice, maybe three times an extended maintanance locking out the entire EU playerbase during regular playing times. Pretty sure this is the second week in a row now where this is the case.

Maintanances without fixes are perfectly fine. We players don't have to know everything that's thrown through a maintanance, it might be setting up some things for the future. But do so at decent times, ZOS, because this is starting to get absurd for your EU playerbase (which I'm convinced still contributes a lot to your income).

If this is going to happen more frequently we might need to start some campaigns to promote all EU players turning off their ESO plus for a month. A form of protest to get ZOS to understand we matter.

Zenibugs this is patetic, all weeks the same history, hours and hours waiting for can play... try to join more than 4 hours ago and now try another time and the maintenance continues??? i only see this in this game omg... Zenibugs is laughing at all users

If their servers doesn't looks like that

and their employees aren't like this

I have NO idea of that they can do there for 4+ hours each week?

Folks you can complain about the constant maintenance and time it takes but ZOS turns a blind ear. Face it the folks at ZOS cannot get their act together. That has been proven time and time again. Many bugs and game performance issues still exist no matter how long or how short there constant maintenance down times take to complete.

Actually I'm pretty optimistic - from the description it sounds like the entire datacentres are being tweaked and overhauled. SURELY it has to improve SOMETHING.
