    Methinks its a case of automated offline and then being left sitting there while the ZOS finish the Live patch.

    We need to do some database work every week for PTS, so the maintenances are going to take a little longer than usual. Has nothing to do with the patch size or amount of fixes. That said, we still have a number of hours to go, so expect PTS to be back up in roughly 6 hours from now.

    6 hrs...well you huys better hurry then, we are eager to get our hand on the natch potes :trollface:

    Ok, thanks Gina. At least we know what to anticipate for the next few cycles.
    Still though, are ZOS engineers actually working on the PTS at 04:00 EST?
    If so, Kudos.

    Gina's post was before EU got an extended downtime. I suspect that is their priority so wouldn't surprise me if it takes longer today.

    I was thinking in terms of real trouble and having to pull personnel to help out.

    I doubt that as ZOS is big and organized company, they will have different maintenance teams for PTS and Productions.

    Access to production servers are usually very controlled, restricted and well monitored.

    Like Gina said earlier they're doing some database work in each week of the PTS cycle, so the actual patch won't have been started right away if they do all the database stuff first (which makes sense).

    Still, Natch Potes are important and we wants them :lol:

    What Maintenance have to do with Patch Notes? they can be released 1-2 hour earlier or by fix time eveyr patch (i.e. 5 PM EDT etc.) unless ZOS have some internal protocol.

    Bad news natch potes team, PC/EU was messed up in the last update, so i'm guessing most of their resources are going toward that issue first.

    Gina doesn't generally release Natch Potes until the updates are close to done, in case there's anything which does not update or change correctly. There's nothing worse than saying "this thing is in the patch" only to find out an hour later it's not.

    I'd say it's a smart tactic as some games release their notes straight away and spend like the next 4 hours backtracking due to unforeseen issues.

    Hey @ZOS_GinaBruno , since I don't see it on the notes, do you guys have the sorcerer pet tooltip bug on your radar? just curious to make sure it's being addressed in the future <3
