We "win" 8 days of the Explorer event but EU misses the last one because of maintenance all day.

After the disappointment of the much hyped mystery prize, this seems like a fitting end! Oh well, maybe they'll get it right next year.

    Event ends at 10 am ET, so everyone loses the last 6 hrs.

    EDIT: Actually... I am confused. I thought it ended Tuesday at 10am... but apparently, it ends Wednesday at 10am? Need to go find a real source of information....

    EDIT 2: Yup. Wednesday 10am ET.

    The Hallowe'en event is going to be the same XP buff it usually is, so really, you're losing the six or so hours of maintenance, that's it. Then the Hallowe'en event will be on. You're technically losing time if you're sleeping/eating/afk anyway?

    It ends Wednesday at 3pm UK time iirc.

    But bloody annoying to schedule maintenance during that time. But hey. Shall go do / play something else.

    No one plays 24 hours of every day during an event. If the server is down for maintenance for 7 hours that still leaves 17 hours to play.

    Forgive my misinterpretation. The thread is about maintenance on the last day of the event, so that I how I interpreted your statement.

    I agree. This is just awful. First they give us free DLC and now maintenance to keep the game up and running.

    But the OP said EU, we get special treatment:

    - 7 hours maintenance
    - 5 hours for additional issues somehow only affecting EU. We are now in EU prime time and there's the dreaded "We understand some players are experiencing difficulties logging in..."
    - Another 8 hours the next day to fix the emergency work they did the day before...

    May be it's just me, but I also need to eat, sleep and work during those 24 hours.

    Like usual, the maintenance is during Australia/NZ/Asia prime time so for those of us that do eat, sleep and work, it's one less day of the event.

    We are getting more and more events. I am of the opinion we now have to many. That aside we have to expect maintenance is going to coincide with events because of the sheer number of events we have.

    You're right finishes Wednesday, I'm so dumb! :D

    Either way I'll probably lose a day still anyway, I can't always get on in the evenings.

    I don't mind maintenance usually, even at the end of an event. It's that they specifically told us this was a prize. It's not the end of the world, I just think it's a bit off that they make us earn something and then take away a big chuck of it.

    Maybe next time they should run the Event shorter and end it before the maintenance day, so noone will have a reason to complain that they lost 6 hours because of the maintenance?

    That's couple hours out of 24. So you can play non stop the rest of the day. It's non issue really...

    JOKING: I am sorry, i will just say... I am between two nightshifts, so i came after work, just went complete Endeavors, then maintenence started, went sleep for while, now waiting, do home stuff (yes its good to have free day without ESO :D ) and after maintenence have about an hour to prepare myself and go to next shift.

    Its not crying, just argument to yours 17 hours to play :D:D:D:D No everyone are kiddos and home office employees ;)
    But i don't mind about maintenence i am just curious what will be broken next after maintenence.
    What they fixed in last patches? There is too much big bugs that need to be fixed and they just don't fixing it...
    And still, one fix broke 50 more things...
    Really sorry for my english

    You get free xp and extra drops and you're complaining about a single day of the event.

    Hey now, I didn't get a free dlc. I got a free upgrade from "rent" to "buy" instead, since I already was subbed to eso. It was awful. 😥

    I feel bad for the people who's time zones make it so the only time they have to play is exactly when the shutdowns occur. All Well and good for the NA people, no affect to them.They do seem oblivious to the concept that not everyone lives in NA.

    Seriously, some people need to learn what disappointed means!

    Nobody is saying it's "awful" or "unforgivable" but it's not nothing. Giving away something that people are already paying for via their subs isn't the end of the world, but people were led to believe they were getting something amazing and then it was... nothing. It's disappointing. Same with the maintenance. It's not going to ruin my life, I just think if they're going to make a big deal about how something is a prize we've earned they shouldn't take it away again.

    It's like rain on a weekend, I'd rather it didn't happen but there's nothing I can do about it. That doesn't mean I shouldn't notice it and wish it wasn't! I don't really see why it needs to be blown out of proportion like that.

    Look at it this way: if you ever decide to cancel your sub you'll still have the DLC. So it's not a total waste. Sorry if you felt I was blowing what you said out of proportion. I was just making a joke so don't take it personally. :)
