I'm sorry but you kind of dropped the ball on this your self. You could not take 30 mins out of your day to hop on and grab it. The fact you missed more then 1 day is not their fault.

I have this thing called a "Job", and when the servers are down like like 16 hours or however *** long it was, hopping on is somewhat difficult.

10 minutes. Log in accept reward and log off that is all it takes. Somehow you want everyone to commiserate with you when you could not find 10 minutes a day to do this for something like 26 days in a 31 day month. You honestly believe you have no responsibility in this?

WoW! You have just redefined entitlement for me.

Oh I had plenty of free time. When the servers where down. For particularly long maintenance. And when there was a lovely surprise EU additional maintenance that dragged on past when I went to sleep.

You keep ignoring the fact YOU failed to log in even briefly for several days, not just one day. Server maintenance for 16 hours is not the reason you missed 100k. You are the reason you missed 100k

With the one exception ive been online every day for atleast the last 2 weeks. Took time off during the event when the servers where ***.

So much complaining in here that its MY fault that I only left 1 day buffer to get the 100k. I HAD the buffer, I was GOING to get the 100k.

Again you just did not log in. You try to imply you could not becuase of poor servers but that is not the case. You failed to log in enough days to qualify for 100k.

I guarantee if the servers were down that many days they would have adjusted that 100k reward, they give everything else away.

Bottom line is you decided to not even try to log in for several days becuase YOU believed it was not worth it due to your judgement of server quality.

I might not agree with this person on certain other points, but I have to say in this instance they're pretty much right. You didn't even attempt to log in for your rewards for two weeks, judging by your posts. Being on every day for the last two weeks doesn't magically grant you privileges to rewards you missed for not being on earlier in the month because of your own choice not to. As someone else mentioned, the reward was for people who logged in for the appropriate number of days, not just for logging on for x number of days AFTER the reward would have been given.

And you can't really use your 'I have a job' excuse, either, because again you admitted to skipping the first two weeks not because of your job, but because you didn't think it'd be worth it because you assumed the servers would be in too bad a state to even try. On top of that, a lot of people playing this game have jobs and still find the time to log in for a few minutes to claim their reward. If you can't find the time for whatever reason, that's not exactly ZOS' fault. It's not like they can alter an entire system to cater to one individual player's needs or something.

I would agree that ZOS should compensate EU players for what reward was originally supposed to be given on the day of that maintenance, but beyond that they aren't obligated to give people rewards they missed because they willingly chose not to log in.

So because I missed a few days earlier in the week, that justifies the maintenance pushing my out of the main reward, which I was careful not to miss?

You weren't THAT careful not to miss it my friend. The 100K reward was on like day 20 or 21 if I recall correctly. You would have had to miss several days to get bumped.

If you want to place blame, Look no further than the mirror. I know it's frustrating - I have missed out on some good things as well and if it was JUST one day because of the maintenance I could understand. You missed SEVERAL days before that so it's 100% on you.

Ok so you're not allowed to take any breaks if you want any of the daily rewards, even if the best daily reward is for like 20ish days? Got it. So I should have forced myself to play during the event when the game was laggy to the point of unplayable. Ok.

You are correct - you get daily rewards if you log in DAILY. I honestly can't believe that you just asked that question.

Its cumulative my dude. I would be having that 100k if I could have logged on during that maintenance mayhem. Maybe I should have stayed up till midnight and just flunked my job the next day. Worth it for 100k, for sure.

Yes my dude - it's cumulative. And you didn't accumulate enough to get the reward. End of story. It's on you even if you want to blame everyone else on the planet.

Not everyone, just the entire day of server downtime.

Life is going to be so very hard on you. Good luck.

I have this thing called a "Job" too, 8 AM to 5 PM, with an hour commute one way. That's basically half my day. I still got the reward, and have a few extra days of rewards after... Not sure what your point is.

Well, yes, because if you willingly chose not to log in for the first two weeks, that's on you, not ZOS. There could have been any number of issues that arose and could have kept you from logging in on that last day. ZOS had no way of knowing the maintenance would take longer and stuff, it was an unforeseen issue. It sucks that it just happened to fall on the day you'd still have had a buffer, but the fact remains you willingly chose to skip several days of your own volition. You'd have had more buffer days if you had logged in during those days you chose (aka were not forced to miss) to skip.

No you could have logged in 1 or 2 of the 9 freaking days YOU CHOSE NOT TO for 30 freaking seconds to guarantee you got it.

Didn't have to play if you felt the servers were too laggy, you just needed to log in for 30 freaking seconds.

Take responsibility for your own lack of foresight.

My lack of forsight to see that a surprise maintenance that ZOS themselves didn't expect had to happen on only the EU server which would keep the server down into the night? Im no psychic.

Why would I log in every day? The best reward isnt at 31 days for a reason. I didnt have to log in every day if I didnt want the other stuff.

Yes - your lack of foresight to know that unseen problems can occur (whether maintenance, or power outage, or net outage, or hospital stay, or...), so you don't push it to the point that missing one day will mess you up.

And we don't? Seriously. That's insulting

I was replying to the guy who thought he had some grand insight that I had "3 mins of [my] day to hop on" during the exceptionally long and then extended EU maintenance.

He was replying to me. And you think you have a long day? Try being a firefighter,We work AWAY from home 10-15 days yet I still managed to find 2 minutes between calls, dinner and drills to log on. So yea you have no reason.

The best reward isn't at 31 days so that people can miss a day or two or EIGHT in this case and still get it.

You cut it too close, you bet and you lost.

Don't put things off if you don't have a good reason for it. You never know how much time you will have left.

Katahdin · January 2019

@Magilacuddy

The OP by his own admission stated he chose not to log in for several days

When the new month started, I too looked at the dates of the rewards I wanted. The 100K landed on the 22nd of the month so that left a 9 day cushion, which I think is pretty reasonable.

I took a few days off because I was sick and didn't feel like playing or I wanted to relax and watch a movie instead.

So what did I do? I logged in for 30 seconds on some of those days to get the daily reward to make sure I could still get that 100K. I tracked my progress on the daily screen to make sure I was still ok. I didnt just not log in for a week and a half and hope that there wasn't some unforseen circumstance or two to mess it up.

In any case it's 100k of video game money. It's amazing people get so upset over losing out on video game money. I hope the OP doesn't have investments in RL, he will be really upset when he sees his next statement with the way the stock market is going lately.

I have this thing called a "Job", and when the servers are down like like 16 hours or however *** long it was, hopping on is somewhat difficult.

As do I. I work 6 days a week at the firehouse. Yet I STILL found time to connect for 30 seconds to claim log in. So unless your deployed in the military dont give me this job crap.

Dude, get out of here with your NA crap, you didnt have additional maintenance for the entire evening/afternoon.

No, we didn't. But I could have an internet outage, or a power outage, or all sorts of things. At any time.

So I take the 1-2m every 24 hours to log in, if I care about the rewards.

If you cared enough about this 100k (ooh. aah.) to make this thread to moan about it, you cared enough to not skip 10 days at the start of the month.

(heck, boot your computer while you're cooking breakfast or dinner; set ESO to start up while brushing your teeth/washing dishes; click "Claim"; exit. "I've got a job" is no excuse for not having any chance in a 24 hour period, unless that job is one of those that has you out & about/on-call/etc for 18-24hr+ periods.)

Many EU players simply could not log-in yesterday, even though we tried! We had TWO maintenance periods:
PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance– January 28, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 1:00PM EST (18:00 UTC)
After that many were getting either timeouts or "unable to connect" errors when trying to log-in, those who were able to actually log-in game found a number of problems, after investigating ZOS started another maintenance:
PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance– January 28, 5:00PM EST (22:00 UTC) - 9:00PM EST (January 29, 02:00 UTC)

So basically the EU megaserver was unavailable from January 28, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 9:00PM EST (January 29, 02:00 UTC) which made it somewhat difficult to "take the 1-2m every 24 hours to log in"! That's purely down to ZOS and whatever the cause of the issue(s) was.

Amazing to see just how many people have completely missed the point the OP was trying to make!

@ validifyedneb18_ESO
The first reply to a support ticket is quite often an automated response, you now need to reply/update your ticket and the next reply you receive should be from an actual support rep. Make sure to explain that due to yesterday's double maintenance and the issues between the two maintenance periods resulted in you being unable to claim ONE Daily Reward (regardless as to what the actual reward is/was). They may or may not be able to help, but you won't know until you've explained the problem.

If you cared enough about this 100k (ooh. aah.) to make this thread to moan about it, you cared enough to not skip 10 days at the start of the month.

(heck, boot your computer while you're cooking breakfast or dinner; set ESO to start up while brushing your teeth/washing dishes; click "Claim"; exit. "I've got a job" is no excuse for not having any chance in a 24 hour period, unless that job is one of those that has you out & about/on-call/etc for 18-24hr+ periods.)

Many EU players simply could not log-in yesterday, even though we tried! We had TWO maintenance periods:
PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance– January 28, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 1:00PM EST (18:00 UTC)
After that many were getting either timeouts or "unable to connect" errors when trying to log-in, those who were able to actually log-in game found a number of problems, after investigating ZOS started another maintenance:
PC/Mac: EU megaserver for maintenance– January 28, 5:00PM EST (22:00 UTC) - 9:00PM EST (January 29, 02:00 UTC)

So basically the EU megaserver was unavailable from January 28, 4:00AM EST (9:00 UTC) - 9:00PM EST (January 29, 02:00 UTC) which made it somewhat difficult to "take the 1-2m every 24 hours to log in"! That's purely down to ZOS and whatever the cause of the issue(s) was.

Amazing to see just how many people have completely missed the point the OP was trying to make!

@ validifyedneb18_ESO
The first reply to a support ticket is quite often an automated response, you now need to reply/update your ticket and the next reply you receive should be from an actual support rep. Make sure to explain that due to yesterday's double maintenance and the issues between the two maintenance periods resulted in you being unable to claim ONE Daily Reward (regardless as to what the actual reward is/was). They may or may not be able to help, but you won't know until you've explained the problem.

Thanks, ill try that.

The OP by his own admission stated he chose not to log in for several days

he was forced not to log in the sixth - that wasn't a choice was it?

Bouldercleave · January 2019

Not worth arguing the point.

Log in daily - get the daily rewards.

Don't log in daily - don't get the rewards.

They don't put the big reward out on the last day to give you a cushion.

You don't have to agree, but if you didn't log in on enough days, you are not entitled to jack.

Magilacuddy · January 2019

The point is very simple, you guys defend Zos's failings way too much like they are your best mates from School. Seriously, they are not your friends. They are a business out to make money like any other, and we are the consumers not charity cases - we have all paid for the game in some way and should expect it to be to a reasonable standard. And when it is not, we are entitled to complain and get them to rectify it. Learn your rights.

I'm sorry but you kind of dropped the ball on this your self. You could not take 30 mins out of your day to hop on and grab it. The fact you missed more then 1 day is not their fault.

I have this thing called a "Job", and when the servers are down like like 16 hours or however *** long it was, hopping on is somewhat difficult.

Everyone knows that MMOs are time-consuming hobbies. If you can't spare 5 minutes of "gaming" then I would look for some other genre to play.

Amazing to see just how many people are still missing the point.

The server was down one day ... not nine (9) days.

The OP could have logged in on any one of those nine days to collect a daily reward and keep pace with the 100k gold reward.

The OP elected not to do that ... blaming slow servers even though the servers were up and able to take a 1 minute log-in.

ZOS has precedent for not rewarding laziness in claiming daily rewards. I’d be shocked if the support ticket even makes it to a live person.

DedEmbryonicCell19 · January 2019

Unfortunately that is your problem not ZOS' ..

If there is something in the daily rewards I actually care about I log in every day until I get it, then I take my days off when I don't care .. pretty simple ..

Jaimeh · January 2019

The schadenfreude in the thread...

OP, too bad about the reward, it's risky cutting it too close with days of big rewards, because most of the time Murphy's Law applies and something happens. Anyway, I hope you can sort it out with support. If not, least it's gold, so something you can earn with normal game activities, and not some exclusive item.

but you are failing to admit your blame by missing more than ONE day.

Yeah, I skipped like 2 weeks at the start of the month, mostly because the servers where *** from the event.
Point is, ive been online every day for like the last 10+ days easily. Except for that one maintenance day...

Sounds like you're 14/15= 93% responsible and ZoS is 1/15 = 7% responsible.

Maybe you should ask them for .07*100k= 7000 gold.

Be sure to show the math, it may impress them.

Jhalin · January 2019

As a real-life comparison, OP is basically blaming traffic for making them late after they left for work knowing that only under perfect completely trafficless circumstances would they get to work on time

Aka, it’s their fault they’re late due to poor planning

Krayl · January 2019

It's a daily "reward", not a daily "entitlement".

End thread. You can miss multiple days and still get the 100k.

Sorry, OP. Total fail on you and you only.

Icy_Waffles · January 2019

I think the blame is with all the other days you missed. Not a couple extra hours.

gangyzgirl · January 2019

I think the point has been driven home. If you see something you want on daily rewards log in for two minutes hit accept and log out. Better safe than sorry.
