Alpharos7✭✭✭What concerns me is not the length but the frequency of maintenance that ESO needs. Normally there is 6-8hrs of downtime a week, which is alot. Most other games will be 6-8hrs a month. I get that the game is huge, but a game needing this much maintance was built using spaghetti.PS5 EU (UK) 668CP - Avid Roleplayer and Elder Scrolls fan!

shimm✭✭✭✭Maybe this is the big server replacement! Finally replacing the creaky old servers with new ones that have ssd drives!1 -
Torwin✭✭To be fair they did state some weeks ago, that while there's some work going to gradually improve the general state of the servers, the maintenance breaks are gonna be longer than usual.
I assume this would be one of those breaks.4 -

AdamLAD✭✭✭✭✭Whilst frustrating, if zenimax has a plan to fix the horrendous state of performance they can take as long as they like. I won't hold my breath though. We have asked for better performance for years and its got worse lol.3

A good example is Guild Wars 2. Err..... Yeah it went down once within the last few years - even when they are updating the game - it can be played even when being updated (you're forced to update after 2 hours after patch hits). I don't understand why ESO maintenance is so *** long, even after all these years playing.Difficulty scaling is desperately needed. 9 years. 6 paid expansions. 25 DLCs. 41 game changing updates including A Realm Reborn-tier overhaul of the game including a permanent CP160 gear cap and ridiculous power creep thereafter. I'm sick and tired of hearing about Cadwell Silver&Gold as a "you think you do but you don't"-tier deflection to any criticism regarding the lack of overland difficulty in the game.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Only one thing to do
Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.7 -
PullaStormy✭✭✭It's not fun to wait until 6 PM, and sometimes waaaay later if it gets extended. I remember many cases when it was already *the next day* when the maintenance concluded. ZoS seems to only care about NA servers, since in other games I've played, EU's maintenance is when it's night in EU, not during the day/prime time.PC-EU - Roleplayer, Quester, Crafter, Furnisher - Fashion Scrolls - 1400+ CP6 -

I still cant wrap my head around it.
I always thought a company would do the time consuming things on a development server... then shut down the live server for the amount of time it takes to shut down, load data, restart.
i could see that taking... 20 minutes... ok maybe 2 hours for like terabytes of data?1 -

That's the thing I don't understand is why NA and EU go down at the same time. It's only 8:02AM here in Phoenix (Arizona), but this is primetime in European countries. I sleep through the vast majority of maintenance, so I can't complain on a personal level.
I'm wondering if it's just a very small crew that handles the maintenance, and this is just simply easier on the workload.2 -

✭I don't think it's just about loading the patch to live. They gotta test those servers after load...also...them hamsters been running for a whole week. Let's give em some time to rest eh?
Seriously though...them hamsters been sleeping long enough. Put em back to work!1 -
Rudrani✭✭✭✭✭another thing i never really understood is why they take everything down AT THE SAME TIME.
Anyone figure that out?
Like.... if they took down PS4 NA for 7 hours, then put it back up and then took down PS4 EU... then people could even play some alt characters or something on an alt server.1 -

in most international games prime time is 10pm-midnight UTC though - on the EU server it seems to be a bit earlier, but not that much - on weekends that is a different story though.

Not true. I'm NA and losing my playtime for the day unless servers come up now as scheduled. Then have an hour before have to get ready for work.2 -

This isn't actually true. On the east coast of the united states, its already 11:07am here. We're loosing time too, and it's gradually ticking down. Yeah, you're loosing a lot, but I've been awake since 6:00 and that's 5 hours I could have spent playing the game and doing the things I want to level up.Legends never die
They're written down in eternity
But you'll never see the price it costs
The scars collected all their lives
When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
Legends never die4 -

While i sympathise you have downtime also it isn't quite the same as EU because this is our prime time play.3
