I even will not talk about buged skill moltan armaments, that give 0 % damage to heavy attacks on restoration staff but not like 50% it must.

All work so bad that i will better go to sleap. Good night everyone

But don't worry, Matt says they are killing it. I'm sure the EU players would agree.

If this indeed the patch that was scheduled for Monday its clear to me that ZOS were aware of problems and were hoping to avoid this becoming a disaster over the weekend.
Maybe they should not have dropped a DLC and an event in the same week as its obvious that regardless of the server upgrades earlier this year that the EU server cannot cope, even with a supposedly dwindling player base.
I just feel sorry for the NA players that have to suffer an outage due the massive flaws in the EU server.

Is this a taste of the performance improvement plan?

So that's ALL day - no play in UK money

@ stefan.gustavsonb16_ESO : i'm wondering:
how do you know if you were not logged in?

Probably because this isn't his first rodeo.

That is what always happens.

It's, pretty obviously, a max capacity issue.

It would seem that they only want to pay for x amount of capacity, as that is normally sufficient.

So, if more than that x capacity log in/try to log in, as they always do for new content and/or events, it all starts to break down.

Then it only recovers after sufficient people log out and/or get logged out and/or stop trying to log on again.

I feel sorry for our EU brethren, but why did they have to take down the US servers too? They were working fine.

Solidarity? xD

Well for me this just completed the patch, maybe the servers will be up before the allotted 4 hour slot …… here's hoping.

they're shutting it down in the middle of a day of an event weekend for many hours. so they're extending the event, right?

right?

Ffs. You better not have another one on Monday. If you took servers down, just apply everything in one go.

My impression from the official post was that this patch is not an additional one, but that it's the v5.26 patch that would have been done on Monday, because they anticipate it to resolve the EU server issues. But they moved it up so that EU and also apparently some players on NA weren't stuck without being able to play this weekend. In addition, they had to do both servers at the same time, because the servers needed to be on the same patch version.

They are trying to make EU players leave I think. Cheaper and easier than investing in the server to be able to handle the population..

It worked OK in Cyrodiil so they implementing it across the board now.

I have the same feeling. Just waiting for Gina to post:

With great regret we have decided to shut down the EU servers. It is totally not our fault. We will not be moving any characters, achievements, collections to the NA server, so if you spent thousands of Pounds/Euro/Potato on this game, we are sorry to tell you, you have flushed money down the toilet because we don't owe you nothing if we say "Thanks for your continued patience and understanding". K thx bye!

Oh and one more thing. Thanks for your continued patience and understanding.

*slow clap* You guys are really killing it.

Ackwalan · October 2019

ZOS does an update on the weekend, and people flip out. If ZOS waits till Monday, people flip out, saying they need to fix it now and not wait. Gamers are bipolar as they come.

Nothing to do with Bipolar. The reason for shutting down the server should have not even appeared.

Seems a mature rated game is populated by 2 year olds.
Glad they are attempting to fix problems.

Maybe ZOS should do the same as the PC-EU players... stop hoping And yes, it's a shame that PC-NA became collateral damage

trittnerxx · October 2019

as inconvenient as this is as a NA player im still just happy they are attempting to fix it, i haven't had many problems but noticed some small issues playing cheers to the zos team for their Saturday work and effort!

Perhaps you are not yet familiar with ZoS fixing their game enough, old fu ck.
