We have now officially lost a combined total of a full day of event playtime. This same thing happened last week to us.

Hoolielulu · April 2021

Sure, I'll transfer to a different platform when I can take all of my stuff with me.

Lorajet · April 2021

So, what are the bets on it will be extended another 3 or 6 hours?

Torbschka · April 2021

Well, guess it will be another 3

I’d love to know the actual numbers of people who play on PlayStation vs the Xbox numbers because I’d be willing to bet the higher percentage of their gamers are on PlayStation...

Doesnt matter when Microsoft, the maker of XBOX now owns ZOS
MS and Sony are direct competitors, they arent going to do anything to support the PS

The players shouldn’t suffer because of some greedy corporate strategy to boost Xbox sales. This game came out a long time before this MS deal was even initiated and therefore all platforms that the game released on should get equal treatment.

İ raise to 5 hours. Anyway i lost the day. Maybe tomorrow!

Rittings · April 2021

All jokes aside, we need to prepare our minds that the game may not return at all today... it could take a few days even - but if it does, we have to realize that all us Sony players are in the same boat

B0SSzombie · April 2021

Hey, 6 PM, 3 more hours!

Lorajet · April 2021

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!! All people who bet on 3 hours WIN!

SGT_Wolfe101st · April 2021

And it’s 6PM EDT now. Awesome

Folkb · April 2021

How do you all assume its some sort of nefarious action by zos or ms? Maybe it does have something to do with psn. 🤷‍♂️

Madhojo · April 2021

Im with you OP, this is the second time we've been compltely screwed over and its infuriating

rrimöykk · April 2021

Whole effing day lost - again.

WE EXPECT COMPENSATION THIS TIME AROUND!

This is the worst customer service ever.

Nope, all my other games (and MMOs) are running in top shape on the PSN. GTAV running like a pro.

Wolfpaw · April 2021

A few more years and ZOS will have some serious competition, I hope they find a path to better performance before.

kmcaj · April 2021

I would have got the xbox instead of ps5 if I could have taken my account with me.

Remathilis · April 2021

Great ZoS.

I'll be watching for my 20 Jubilee Boxes, 3 tickets, login reward, and a Crown Crate (Aelyid, not Ouroboros) to be in my mail/account when I log in tomorrow.

iamkeebler · April 2021

I just came here to throw a tantrum *cries and stomps feet*

Seriously concerning though that this is happening everytime we undergo maintenance. Hope they fix and solve this soon but I’m already expecting this to occur again next week.

Already cancelled the preorder and didn't renew ESO+. Will throw my money somewhere else.

Lorajet · April 2021

I hear every Monday thru Tuesday for the PS Consoles.

Because there hasn't been any major updates to the psn in the last couple of weeks. But this is the 2nd week in a row there has been an issue. And they just coincidently got bought by Sony's competitor.

Makes me feel like maybe MS wanted ZOS to update our servers after they finished MS and PC. So maybe they can't even start on ours until they finish with Microsoft products. But they all gotta come down at the same time for whatever reason. Just my personal theory. I wouldn't be trying to guess if they just told us why we keep having issues.

ArchMikem · April 2021

The game has ALWAYS ran buggy and laggy on ALL platforms. Why are you taking it so personally. Microsoft acquiring Zenimax Media has nothing to do with it.

In fact I just watched a bit about how Sony's little system requiring your console to constantly sync to their servers could potentially brick your unit and even leave you unable to play any of your titles on PS4 once they drop the servers supporting it because of PS5.

So yeah, maybe you SHOULD blame Sony.

Lorajet · April 2021

Nope. Putting blame where it belongs, with Zos and Bethesda.

Every single other game works perfectly on Playstation. Other mmos, too. So no, this is not about Sony but ZOS.

You do realize that if this were ever the case Sony could sue the living daylights out of Microsoft and win?

Also no company would intentionally do this because it’s not just a bad look short term but an extremely bad look long term. Bad in that it would stop other companies from engaging in contracts with them.

Something is going on, likely with a backend update to the PSN, that is causing a conflict with the game. Totally feasible and doesn’t require an update on the player side as their interaction with the PSN hasn’t changed.

Yeah, that's just blatant flaming right there... coming to fan some heat and flex a bit on us that are suffering... If that doesn't get edited I'll eat my hat... that I'll get free from ZoS for the downtime

Alpharos7 · April 2021

To be honest, we have to accept that something has gone seriously wrong. Whether this is an issue related to ZOS or something unrelated to them we don't know. They wouldn't take the server down for so long just to mess about PlayStation users - they have alot of customers on PS and make alot of money from it.

At the very least though, we should get some form of compensation. Losing over 24hrs worth of game time in less than 7 days is not acceptable. I honestly think people would be less fired up if it wasn't a bank holiday here in Europe (or at least where I am in the UK). The decision to do the maintenance today was really bad timing.

It's been a long time since I have server downtime like this, and in many ways I am grateful it is happening now before the next generation upgrade / chapter release, as that would be devastating.
