    OP, i couldn't vote in your poll because you didn't offer any realistic options.

    and you're still keeping secret the identity of the "us" who've somehow been deprived of an entire day by a measley 4-hour maintenance. and who took it from you? why would you let them do this to you? you might find it worthwhile to learn to stand up for yourself and assert your own boundaries regarding the way you spend your time.

    i really hope you can find a way to have fun doing easy things like playing video games.

    "No", just to add a pixel to the blue bar.

    Why would ZOS "owe" us extra days for a patch maintenance they've been telling us about for weeks? This isn't an unexpected glitch or server crash, which have troubled previous events and might be grounds to request an extension.

    Maybe I should petition ZOS for extended time too, since I've lost so many hours of skull-farming time to sleeping and eating! (See how absurd it starts to sound?)

    Yes, we deserve an additional day of the Witches Festival because 1 day is being taken away from us
    As maintenance hits, we see a surge of upvotes. :D

    You would have assumed that they would have considered this when putting the event on, thus it is already a day over what was initially planned.

    Grammar aside, why would I have to assume that? And why would I? There's no way we can know if this was a factor in the planning process. It's not a fair assumption to make.

    No bias here. It's a simple yes or no question

    Then you should simply give the answer Yes OR No. So previous poster was correct, bias poll is most definitely biased. Because of that I will be voting No :smile: also because it doesn't really matter to me if we lose one day of the event due to maintenance on keeping the game functioning/updating with new content.

    So you think they don't know when they are doing their own maintenance and when a major release is being published? ZOS set the dates for the festival; live with it or move on.

    It isn’t a simple yes or no question when you place qualifiers on what makes the yes and the no. My simple answer is no. But not no with the reasons you included.

    Ok, so that means you think it's unfair to you but you still want to lose the day. That is a position I don't relate with but I respect your view nonetheless.

    How isn't 9 days of boss grinding enough? I don't understand why you would need 10...

    Both the Halloween event and the DLC drop were announced in advance. Therefore everyone knew in advance that there would be a maintenance. Actually everyone knew in advance that there would be a maintenance because there is one practically every Monday. You would 'deserve' an extra day if there was a misleading expectation set by ZOS or if there was an unforeseen event 'taking away' a day from you, neither of which is the case.

    I think that they do probably know the dates of maintenance, but what is wholly debatable, is whether or not it was a factor when deciding on the dates of the event.

    We simply cannot confirm or deny if it was, so we have to acknowledge that we 'don't know'. Anyway I'm not bothered by it really at all, I just wanted to see what the rest of the community thinks about the issue.

    Because it's planned in advance and these things should logically factor in to a decision when deciding how long the event will go on for..

    I've told you I don't care about the skulls. It's more so about the double xp. People deserve the maximum number of days possible for double XP. That is what we are fighting for with this.

    So if it's that you care about, we get at least 3 weeks, possibly up to 5 weeks of double XP a year. Since 35 days isn't enough, why not 90? Why not 180? Or even 365? Better yet, why not go the WoW has gone and just give everybody a max-level character when they buy the game?

    Nope. I mean I don’t want another day added. Period. Nothing else you added. Your additions bias your poll toward your opinion.

    for no reason? gotcha.

    No, I mean, if I had give a reason it wouldn’t be: “No, I don’t feel another day is warranted because of maintenance.”

    That's fine. I understand that it's easy for you or someone to say when it doesn't affect them personally.

    I'm fighting more for the people who are affected, with this poll.

    Considering quite a few of the posts in this thread are you're own, I'm not sure who the people are you're fighting for? FYI, I'm in the NA time zone, awake and ready to play and yet not one of the people wanting to be represented in this fight ;)

    Or maybe the event was always one day shorter than you assume, and they had already factored in the day of downtime?

    Biased poll is biased. I'm not losing an entire day, just a couple of hours in that day. If that just so happens to be the time-frame in which I normally game (i.e. 'prime-time' for certain time zones) then that's just my bad luck. Nothing to be done about it.

    We are not entitled to any extra time just because the maintenance schedule doesn't fit our personal agenda. So no, we don't 'deserve' anything. And yes, ZOS could shift around the maintenance window to something that would benefit the AUS/NZ time-zone, but that would negatively impact both EU and NA (maintenance now is during the night for NA and early in the morning for EU). Since those are the regions that actually have megaservers, I highly doubt ZOS will change the time-frame to something that wouldn't work for the majority of players there.

    obviously not since they havent learnt yet that you are an entitled troll. any event that goes over 7 days will hit a maintenance or 2. thats a guarantee. of course they know and factor it in. they just didnt care about your opinion. go ZOS!

    Fixed it for you.

    Like I said this poll was made merely to survey the community and learn of their views regarding maintenance cutting into event time. It's not like I'm asking for anything. All you'll have to do is flip back to page 1 to see that a lot of people agree with me, and a lot don't. The ones who don't are probably the ones who aren't affected by it. Personally, I think it's very interesting information to know.

    That's some nice bias you have there. The yes option makes it sound like we're the victims of some great injustice and ZOS owes us reparations, and the no option has a very negative sound to it. It's like making a poll about if people roleplay and having" Yes because I'm a loser with no friends or girlfriend" and "No because I'm normal" for answers. Even in your replies you're extremely biased. You're saying that people who don't think we need a day added are just not affected and that you, the righteous side are the correct one and are owed something for the great injustice done to you.

    I don't care if we get an additional day because it's really not that big a deal. The maintenance is usually only 6-8 hours anyway. That's not a big deal. It's not like the game is down throughout the day or down for a whole day.
