• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Why consoles can't have the same DLC patch live day as PC/Mac?

    We've confirmed that this is a bug with the controller UI. We're investigating. In the meantime, we encourage you to please use keyboard-and-mouse.

    Careful what you wish for. If the patch went live on consoles, they'd be dead in the water and screaming right now. At least we (PC users) can revert back to keyboard and mouse. Last I checked, that was not an option for XBOX or PS4.

    relax, let us finish testing the "bugs" for you befor they are released for consoles.

    tl;dr
    You don't want to wait for patch to be released on console? Play on PC.

    Am i able to move my characters from ps4 to pc i doubt it why would i restart a new character when i have over 300 + days played on my main this isn't a good suggestion at all for anyone that plays on console if you are suggesting stuff why don't you see if it makes since first

    Hey, I didn't say anything about characters transferring. I was just saying if you wanted to play the new patch NOW, you'll need to play PC version.
    You don't test crap we still get the same bugs you get.You have to be special in the head if you think PC actually BETA test for us when we get the same bugs you get plus more.

    Not possible.
    ;)

    I'm sure Sony and MS both work very hard at the certification process.
    Why else would they demand the delay while they certify it?

    I mean, thats why you play on console, right?
    So that the console makers can make sure your gameplay is smooth as silk?

    Funny having a Déjà-vu moment every three month as this question pops up with every path: the reason for this is simply ZOS way of handling PC and Console release, they could sync them (even the patches) but have actively chosen not to do this. Plainly show the priorities that PC and Consoles have for them ...

    The patch verification thing is bs.

    Ark drops updates without waiting weeks. They can send it for verification on a Saturday and patch goes live Monday.

    I don't care anyway. The beta testers can let us know what's bugged.

    ARK may have a special agreement with MS/PS, and it is console only and not NEAR a big as ESO. But certification is real.
    No, we on PC aren't your "Beta Testers". The updates are sent to MS/PS just as they are on PC.
    For those who still dont believe in the process, , even after the ton of threads on it, here is a article that explains it.

    Cause of the Microsoft / Sony agreements I would guess, ZoS just doesn't wait like most games do when they push back there PC updates to the same date as the consoles.

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE !!!!!

    The silence from ZOS is perpetuating infighting within community.

    Thanks, just so tired of the same fight every quarter.

    It's because Microsoft and Sony have to approve of the patch. Which usually takes a week, sometimes more.
