✭✭✭✭✭No, they announce the time the servers go down, not when they will come up or the download will be available - they won't know those things themselves although they'll doubtless have a target timetable -which no developer would share with his customers in case things go a bit awry.3 -

✭If you work a 9-5 job. Its very doubtful the servers will be up in time.
DLC launch days usually have the servers down for a significant period of time. Plus with the extremely slow download rate, I don't think you will have time to log in.0 -

I know a developer that does tell you how long the servers are expected to be down. If they are 30 minutes late on getting them back up, a dev( not a customer service rep) posts on the forums about it giving people an update.
They also fix most bugs within a week and sometimes within 48 hours. They take bug fixing seriously, because people will learn to exploit them quickly.
This developer is the standard i hold all developers to...and they pretty much all fail.I see not (prioritizing) fixing bugs within your game while pumping out new content to be lazy and greedy.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Well, I know last time I believe downloads were available about five to six hours after they started the maintenance... the download started before the game server was even back online.Edited by ADarklore on February 11, 2018 11:59PMCP: 2078 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****

You are correct. I really wish they were in charge of all the games i play.0 -

I imagine developers tend to adopt an approach that is appropriate to their community on the forums. If a developer knows that his community is supportive and understanding when things take an unscheduled turn then he's more likely to be up front about such things than if he knows that he only has to speculate on a non-committal expression of preliminary intent to be accused of lying and breaking his promises when it turns out slightly differently. No wonder most developers keep their intended timetable to themselves! I've certainly known a few who started out being open and up-front about such things but learnt the hard way that by doing so they were only making a rod for their own back so they stopped.
I don't know any developer who doesn't have a team working on bugs while a different team is working on new content.Edited by Tandor on February 12, 2018 12:31AM1 -

The point here is, they get things done in a timely manner and when you play the game you can care for playing the game instead to have to work around bugs or be disconnected several times per hour - it simply works - to pirate a phrase from Todd Howard - in EVE it really does. And balancing is what CCP is really good at as well - unlike the experience in ESO.0 -
