    And Gina says "at least two more hours" of down time...

    This exploit had better be game breaking to justify eating in to a massive chunk of prime time play for us Euros.

    Perhaps it's time somebody be held accountable for your incremental ***-ups Zenimax?

    One would think a build making it's way onto the Public Test Server would have been tested internally first. One would think a build promoted from pts to live would have been tested. I don't care about the complexity of your product, that is your responsibility to test and maintain. A responsibility I am paying you for.

    But hey, who cares about anything right? Everything is peachy at ZOS, just keep that cash rolling in and milking your target market. I'm not too pissed off that the servers are down, *** happens. But when said excrement piles up on a regular basis and you, the excreter, continue to think your *** don't stink - something is very very wrong.

    I regret not trusting my gut prior to investing my play time in your title. So I will do the only thing that you, or rather, your board of directors will notice: I will stop paying until you stop reeking of incompetence.

    I won't quit and nobody is having my stuff. I'll simply milk you in turn until such a time that I feel I've recuperated a portion of the money spent.

    I was hoping that with Morrowind things will be better... I also think that maybe we should support it only when we see progress...

    I'm done for a while.. been paying for ESO+ and have far too much uncompensated downtime for a service I paid for.

    between that and the RNG time to take a break for a good long while.

    Can i have your stuff along with all the other butthurt people who are quitting over this? Look on the bright side, you will have more time to go outside and may be able to stave off type 2 diabetes.

    Great post ! Unfortunately the whiners will hate it !

    Apparently, the downtime will last for at LEAST 2 more hours. That will make the maintenance last a total of 5-6 hours at a minimum. Oh, and by the way, that EU's entire prime time...

    Servers are still down then? :#
    There is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

    I hope the exploiters are happy with the servers being down because they like to exploit things they shouldn't. Serves 'em right.

    No wonder why I rarely visit these forums.

    The geek/nerd whiner has to be the worst type of whiner. So entitled. Such big babies.
    At least they're trying to make the game better, etc. what are you doing? Nothing.

    There is a big difference in reporting bugs and things, and posting with venom and insults toward the staff. It is what it is, very unattractive.

    The people who complain do so because they enjoy the game for the most part. It's when they shut up that they no longer care.

    Also MMOs are a drug, and we all need our fix.

    I did, actually. He was suspiciously light-hearted for someone who's world supposedly collapsed.

    Or maybe the genie granted his wish. Maybe they gave him his own server-- MAYBE HE'S PLAYING RIGHT NOW

    Hey ZOS, do i need to call my Lawyer. ZOS just THREATEN every ESO player by saying that they will take care of any account taking part in this BUG, yet you won't tell us what this exploit is so that players can stay away from EXPLOIT.

    Given that the servers are down to fix the exploit (preventing you from logging in), it might be safe to assume that you won't be using this particular one.

    My wife complains that I never listen to her. (Or something like that.)

    My ESO addons:
    Midnight - Find out when midnight is so that you can check for ww/vamp spawn.
    Goto - Adds a tab to the map pane allowing you to teleport to a friend, guildmate, or groupmate for free.

    This is really absurd though. If they are going to randomly take servers down all day they should at least tell us why.

    "muh exploits" isn't a good answer when this "one fix" is taking longer than normal weekly resets.

    There's multiple good reasons they wouldn't want to divulge the nature of the exploit, especially if it's as serious as accounts being compromised.

    Yes, the argument can be made that there shouldn't be an exploit in the first place, but if they had to take the server down to mitigate anything else being done while they figure out a fix, that's probably the correct course of action.

    Has anyone given a thought how these down times effect the in game characters they have no way of expressing them selves or at least ive never seen one complain about a game crash in a forum I bet the general at the end of ragines mantle is beside herself [ bad example shes always beside herself ] anywho you get my point we can come here and rant they don't how many of them do you see quitting the game. None they sits or stands ans waits until we can login again and don't moan most don't get to talk to anyone unless its one of us and all we can do is moan and whinge because we cant log in

    Don't be like that...I also was not here since around then, because I have people in my life who want things, like dinner, baths and all that. He's married (mentioned his wife) so he probably has also things to do.

    Finally, what's raging on here gonna get ya? Not a damn thing, so no point in it.

    No need to cast aspersions over someone you don't even know.

    LOL an IP ban... How exactly would this work?

    lmgtfy.com/?q=How+do+you+ban+an+IP+address

    IP bans won't work against VPN proxy and dynamic ip addresses.

    IP ban is actually simple, just make a entry in a routing table. Only take a couple of minutes

    When I was working in a fortune 500 company's IT dept the senior network architect got tired of spam email from particular place and just blocked everything from that country (it was Ireland of all places). He blocked everything, Email, Web traffic, DNS, Everything..

    You do realize that Zenimax is an international company with customers from the whole world?
    Banning an entire countries ip range would mean a great loss of business for them.
    Besides that, read the above regarding the nature of ip, most private addresses are dynamic and not static.
