Server Maintenance - 27 July 2020 - Happening now

Magenpie · July 2020

Actually, worth bearing in mind (and I keep forgetting too) that many of them are still working from home so sorting things out might be more tricky than usual.

However, it would be good to have a sit-rep. Apart from anything, I'm very nosey and would like to know what's happened.

Oh I dunno this is kinda funny to me. I imagine the whole team have tons of books open with someone calling out "How about this?" while they're pointing to a page. People running back and forth. Papers all over the floor. Whiteboards erased and rewritten. Gina saying, "Wait, what?" and Jessica pulling the knitting out shaking her head giving them the side eye. Rich rubbing his head from the headache or because of the second Big Gulp. Artist asking questions and being told "Not now!"

I think there's some catch up in WOW for those waiting on Shadowlands. They'll have weekly maintenance tomorrow for one hour. And probably don't have the hysteria we seem to be getting from ZOS. At 3pm we'll probably see a suit come in and accidently erase the game like they did earlier it seems. This all is just laughable.

Blizzard is really on another whole galaxy of competence and professionalism compared to ZOS. Of course it's a much bigger and wealthier company, but still

It took Blizzard a while to get there. I remember their day long maintenances. And that was when I had the cravings really bad. Over time they got better and better at it to now its just an hour each week and a few for each patch. ZOS seems to be going the other direction unfortunately. They seem to get worse at this when they should be improving. They dedicated so much time to this improved download of the game that would give them this and still aren't getting it right. I don't know if they don't have the employees needed or they aren't well trained but they got problems. The game is too old for this to be happening. I can't imagine them doing another MMO as I've heard rumors of. They haven't gotten this one working well enough for that.

Everyone needs to form a polite and orderly queue

Game's back up. I started logging in for hireling emails, and it didn't crash until the fourth log-in.

And from this point on, we can expect the usual "Some Players maybe encounter login problems", followed by "we investigate the issue", followed by "the problems are solved" aka it is 10-11pm and lesser people trying to login.

Servers going up at primetime, many peoples will doing their daily quests for the event, hundreds of accounts login and logout to do their daily writs on multiple characters.

Business as usual.

It should play Lottery

Magenpie · July 2020

Oh....bah! *mildly grumpy huff*

I give up. For a bit.

Chufu · July 2020

Came back after watching 2 episodes of my series at the moment because was unable to login.... Login queue 1 hour 4 min. Wonderful.

Think I give up now as well, have to work tomorrow... bye bye daily login reward + 3 eventtickets.

Greetings all,

After removing a handful of posts, we would like to remind everyone that all posts should be kept civil, constructive, and within the guidelines of the rules we have in place. Bashing, Flaming, as well as Trolling and Baiting, are all violations of the rules, and are stated as follows:

Bashing and Slanderous Comments: We do not permit the bashing of individuals (including ZeniMax employees), groups, or other companies on our forums. We believe that doing so is neither constructive nor in spirit of our game and community.

Flaming: It’s okay to disagree and debate on the official ESO forums, but we do ask that you keep all disagreements civil, constructive, and on-topic. If a discussion gets heated and turns into a debate, remember that you should stick to debating the post and/or thread topic. It is never appropriate to resort to personal comments or jabs about those participating in the thread discussion.

Trolling or Baiting: The act of trolling is defined as something that is created for the intent to provoke conflict, shock others, or to elicit a strong negative or emotional reaction. It’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community. If you do not have something constructive or meaningful to add to a discussion, we strongly recommend you refrain from posting in that thread, and find another discussion to participate in instead. It is also not constructive or helpful to publicly call out others and accuse them of trolling, or call them a troll—please refrain from doing so. If you genuinely believe someone is trolling, please report the post or thread to the ESO Team, and leave it at that.

If there are any questions in regards to the rules, please take a few moments to review them here.

Thank you for your understanding,
-Greg-
