How Long is Maintenance?

I'm still relatively new so I may have missed where to look.

I've seen the maintenance forums and all they do is list start times.

I've even seen one where it's posted maintenance will be longer than normal for that day.

What is NORMAL?

    Normal is 2-4 hours I guess?

    However it really varies each time, if you're on Twitter you can follow @BethesdaSupport to get tweets about servers going up and down.

    How long is a piece of string

    It depends on the color.
    FYI - There is no such thing as 'night capping' in a world wide MMO.
    FYI - There was no paid Beta. When they launched the game the Beta was over, even if you don't think it was.
    FYI - It's B2P not F2P. There is a difference.
    FYI - It doesn't take any player skill to mash keys or buttons in this game. The ones that stay alive longer have the better internet connection and speed.
    FYI - The game is not broken, it still works. It just has 'bugs' that need to be fixed.
    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Example: There were hundreds of Jedi and only two Sith in Star Wars. The Jedi wanted, "Balance in the Force" and they got it. Now there are only two Jedi and two Sith.

    Balance is a "Bad" thing.

    Unfortunately we never really know. Maintenance is just as long as it takes.

    2-4hrs is often the average XBOX EU. However is big things are going on or being predownloaded it can be more, understandably.

    Throughout maintenence Generally people come here and cry about it, Tweet ZOS their angst and do other things that suggest an overall unhealthy addiction to a game.

    Normal is

    if you are going to be working and hope to "just log in for a little bit", it will get done as you are leaving the house.

    If you have the day off, it will go on forever.

    If you are suddenly called in to an extra shift at work, it will suddenly finish, everyone else but you will play, and RNGjesus will bless everyone but you with showers of chests, nirncrux, perfect roe and super deals at trade kiosks.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    Been just around 2 hours for PS4 NA for the past month or so, as I can recall. I remember when, maybe about 6 months or so ago, it was about 4 hours or more. Hasn't been too bad lately.

    Sure i read it was patch maintainence the other day, which would actually be about right timewise considering MS and Sony certification times since Morrowind release and there are a few things that need to be fixed or reset (reallocation of skill points, bugged quests, battleground queing etc).

    There should surely have been a patch of some description sent for certification during the four weeks since Morrowind was released.

    It would be kool if they had something like:

    Servers brought down for normal maintenance, expected downtime is 4 hours,

    maybe even a link to show what's in the works. I get it normal maintenance is kinda, well, normal. But would be nice to see something like:

    Issues related to chat problems and activity finder should be resolved by this process, (haha, can only hope)
