EU Server

✭✭Thinking about it,
considering some servers are online before others and that in general all platforms\zones are separated.
Why not have each Megarserver maintenance at a different time - like in middle of the night not in middle of the day.
People will tell you it's because of the client but I call BS on that.
WoW's Oceanic servers get different maintenance times and they use the NA client. Patch days are a different can of worms iirc, but not every maintenance is a patch or bug fix. Most of them are just server restarts.2 -
ohaphazardo✭✭✭Not again.
I cannot believe this is happening to the EU again.
I mean we know Zenimax is an American company, and they only employ American people on their customer interface division. These Americans do not bother to respond to the EU questions, but do to the American ones.
When are our servers coming back Gina Bruno?
I have now lost 24 hours play in ten days, due to maintenance.
This is not acceptable.

ZOS did in fact split maintenance times for US/EU servers in the beginning. In fact, they even responded to customer criticism of the EU server down time post-initial release and moved it.
But I think when it was realised the game did not sell anywhere near forecast release figures (conjecture, but going on the negative feedback and reviews surrounding the release) combining the outages was a cost-cutting measure as it did not require US-based staff to be working in EU hours. Also, one has to consider the EU straddles many different time zones, so there'll always be some people unhappy with an EU mega-server outage window.0 -

Since when is inconveniencing and frustrating entire EU playerbase of a game once a week profitable? Didnt they think that some people may unsubscribe or stop playing entirely once sufficiently annoyed by this and other issues?2 -

✭We know North American server are better, but we can't wait about 10 hours of maintenance -.-
You can't wait? Is your heart going to stop if you do?
You can wait, you just don't want to or feel you should have to.
Maintenance needs to be done. If it wasn't done and they left whatever is wrong on the live version, this thread would be about how buggy and horrible things were.Edited by LadyLavina on May 2, 2017 5:04PMPC - NA @LadyLavina 1800+ CP PvP Tank and PvP Healer0 -

- Animation canceR - is true PvP cancer! When you can't see which actions your opponent do - you can't react properly on them!

I am sorry but after my first Month this is the second time Maintenance happens all day Especially in Europe!
If someone from @Zos Reads this i cancelled my sub!
Here are the reasons:
1)Maintenance done in Prime time for Europe
2)Extended Maintenance all time with your support being in touch with us but only in the last moment
Sorry but i like your game but not going to support you if you continue like that
Edit:If i am not mistaken 2 hours passed and still not update on what is going on and servers are still offline!Edited by SnowyPoupa on May 2, 2017 5:12PM4 -

✭Who could ever believe the incompetent team at Z0$ 'ran' ('Caused') a problem with a routine/procedural task?
Surely not me, with around 26 months experience dealing with them........
What does a technical problem have to do with incompetence?
And you also have no idea what the word "procedural" means. It does not mean what you think it does, so much is clear.
When almost all maintenance run into a 'technical problem' and extends the time it takes then it leans my thinking to an incompetent team. Witness this over ~26 months and i am convinced the team cant cope with whatever they are looking to achieve, defenitely from my standpoint as a consumer.
They have carried out work on there datacentres before. If there isn't a procedure in place for this, there definitely should be judging by how unsuccessful they are in meeting schedules they make themselves.
EDIT:
Hey guys, maintenance is still ongoing for all European megaservers. At this time, we're estimating finishing up around 1pm EDT (about 2 hours from now). Apologies for the extended downtime; we'll keep you updated as we're able.

So the server was estimated to open -13minutes ago. Ran into some technical problems again?, Understandable with the team.
Not posting another ETA as you ran over your first ETA? Not understandable as it takes 2 minutes to post an update and its the most basic business practice to keep your customers informed.Edited by KingMagaw on May 2, 2017 5:15PM3 -

It's not due to nerfs that I'm dropping ESO when Morrowind is released, it's due to the fact that ZOS can't even do weekly maintenance without serious issues. God knows how things will be when they try to land DLC (ahem, sorry, a 'chapter') and class wide nerfs all in one go.
I can only imagine the 486 DX 66 running the 'mega-server' will implode and cause a singularity which sucks in the entirety of the known universe.
Can I have your stuff ?

Well aren't you just the most adorable little obnoxious ass
It needs to be done when it needs to be done. If things were going wrong and they left the servers live, all these threads and comments would be complaining about buggyness/glitches/connection issues. If the servers are so bad that maintenance needs to be done constantly, that's another issue entirely that I have not even tried to speak on/about.
So no, you go away.
and @smdl I'm aware of that, but all of this is just a bunch of ignorant whiny people upset that something had to be fixed right now.Edited by LadyLavina on May 2, 2017 5:25PMPC - NA @LadyLavina 1800+ CP PvP Tank and PvP Healer0 -
