Maintenance for the week of March 16:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – March 16
• ESO Store and Account System for maintenance – March 18, 6:00AM EDT (10:00 UTC) - 4:00PM EDT (20:00 UTC)
I shall let you know when I jump in during lunch break
TBH I'm not expecting much yet. Even on patch day I played over lunch and things were fine, even loaded a bit faster.
But get to evening time, prime hours after 7p EST, slogfest.
We shall see.

Did one writ with no issues then went to next character and stuck on logging onto that character for a few minutes now.
Relogging into game after choosing to exit. Then got a brief requesting character screen again. Did writs, then went to outlaw refuge, long load screen there. Keep in mind that this is NOT a busy time. Most people are working or not logging on a monday morning.
Next character loaded fine but long window again. Did writs. No issues. Log to next character, stuck logging into that character.
So from what I can see, those long loading times aren't better. Curious about dungeons queues.

Stuck in "requesting character load" for about 5 minutes every time you try logging in and very long loading screens while in-game.
I'm not even surprised anymore tbh... lol

Load screens are set to hard mode:
Attempted to load into a new zone, waited for 5 minutes, game says can't connect to lobby. Attempt to sign back in, "Account is currently logged in".

Servers down for (count'em) seven freaking hours for maintenance, and now I've been waiting (still waiting) for over nine minutes to get first character logged.
@ZOS_Kevin ... are you reading this: get that hot grease ready, partner!
Most people seem to be having a majority of their problems around 7-8pm, so I guess we'll really see then how things go. It's not assuring that people are still having problems this often this early in the day though.
I wonder if the lfg tool is still borked.

So disappointing....honestly I'm glad I'm not an ESO+ member and didn't buy the latest dlc....I'd be far more bothered. I too am wondering if lfg was fixed...there was glimmers of usability last night for a bit...then it went back to broken
I never wait in that login queue. It almost never goes past that. Just exit and try again. I don't think I've ever gotten it twice in a row.
But loading screens are depressing, BUT I do get in within a few minutes. So what I do is go to the internet and read something. Gaming is now a multitask thing.
loading screens is so much faster before this maintenance rolling in. Right now it is unplayable, loading between maps take more than 4 minutes. hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Extremely long loading screens.
Right now I’m on a black screen while loading into
Cyrodiil.
PMs were bugged, getting messages 3 mins later. It’s awful 😞
Initial login was about the same as last night, which is a little long, but not unbearable. In game overland lag seems about the same as last night, maybe a bit better, but that's probably due to low pop. Tried to port to my house and the game stalled and crashed after 5 minutes of loading screen. So if people expected the maintenance to fix the issues (which they never said it would) then it seems that was an overambitious expectation.
Edit: Just took two minutes to get into the outlaws refuge, so I'm pretty sure this is worse than yesterday, actually.

Why does zos have so many problems going on years, well since inception really? Do they hire people that aren't good at their job? I can't imagine what is it that has been they're problem all these years. Start firing people. (Starting from the top down) Get some employees that can actually fix problems already. I play a lot of games and this game has by and far the worst record for bugs and unplayability.
