"for now"

Lol:) And 'for now' I turned off my crown store purchases:) New furniture pack+ Iron training dummy + new hairless kitty:) I bit more than 10k crowns. And add the same pack for my husband + new fluffy banker and merchant:) In total 30 k crowns we won't spend:) Not to mention 2 cancelled subscriptions. Somebody doing a good business here. I'm very grateful for saving me a bit of money, ZOS.

What I'd like to focus on is: a request for additional information as often as possible and also, to for us to provide as much information as we can to ZOS about what's going on with our guilds, players, etc to assist them.

I’d like to focus on restoring our guild histories and API access to them.

Failing that, sure, communication. But my primary request is to undo this utter hamstringing of guild management.

And yes, stay on topic, please. This is vital functionality for many players. If you have some other tangential (or not) topic, be respectful and make your own thread.

It seems to have been related to the guild chat delays we saw early in the week after the patch. Turning off the history does seem to have improved the lag. It was really bad on Monday night.

WHY there should have ever been a situation without enough capacity to access guild history and do guild chat at the same time, well that is the real question.

Agree that we need the APIs back ASAP. The addon api is a major feature of the game. To have it cut with no warning because of chat issues...sheesh

Lots of things we wish for updates on

This has *nothing* to do with this topic. Be respectful and keep your topic in your own thread.

That "for now" is very worrisome, this is about getting to know what ZOS intends to do and when, sales history is too much important.

This is a backend performance scaling issue, in my opinion, and the problem is made worse by addons that pull from the backend databases. They are probably thinking that if they disable the addons, at least some functionality can be restored successfully.

Hopefully, they are working on the real issue, the fact that their backend design is not scaling to meet the player demand. Or whatever the problem is.

As for an update, I expect nothing before the Monday patch notes. This is because there is probably not anything new to say.

I am doing this (keeping this thread up) for multiple reasons, only one of which is to get this requested update.

Really need this functionality to be re-enabled ASAP!

Tbh I don't expect them to do much tomorrow for the case. They may give us access to manually check guild history, but otherwise it looks like waiting for ATT/MM/SGT to work properly again is just another waiting game.

And meanwhile we are waiting, manual work will increase...

It's the anxiety. I feel a lot of responsibility towards my guild and its members. Not knowing IF, let alone WHEN this issues will be resolved is causing me more angst than one might think - guild leaders notwithstanding.

I don't expect a formal update until after the patch tonight, but it's worth keeping the issue at the forefront to press home that we do still care, and this still does matter a lot.

My fever dream: ZOS actually figured something out, and that both guild histories and add on functionality will return with the patch.

Let me dream, if just for a few hours.

We won't know, because they don't tell us, which is the problem.

They seem to be as unforthcoming as humanly possible regarding this.

And then there are those players who apparently want to see API access to guild data permanently removed, probably just to spite us

There does seem to be a lot of anger and resentment. It's kind of shocking. But don't let them derail us. We will keep on asking for information, the restoration of the api readability, and explaining the impact.

Yes, that was 2 days ago, this is now.

It's still the weekend in the USA. Give us a break!
