When Maintenance runs over MORE regular updates Please :- [EXTENDED] EU megaservers for maintenance – May 24, 4:00AM EDT (8:00 UTC) - 3:00PM EDT (19:00 UTC)
Frustrating just to be told " log back Later" after multiple attempts, a regular post in Forum would give a hint and help players gauge a next login. Thank You

    Is baffling that they don't feel compelled to provide an update on the situation at this point.

    There is no respect. We don't count more than a mosquito buzzing around. Our complaint is ignored and not considered. Forum moderators only read to crack down on any out-of-regulation posts. Not to communicate our wishes to ZOS

    I've been in the services industry for getting on for 30 years. I can't imagine how short my career would have been if I regularly decided to just turn everything off and ignore paying customers.

    Maintenance in needed, stuff goes wrong. Things don't go to plan. Either you know that you cannot make the target given or you fully expect achieve it but something unexpected happens which then prevents you.

    So just make a statement about it, don't be shy about it, yes people will be disappointed but that is expected. You don't need to say why even, just something went wrong and we need time to figure it out, we apologise for the delay but will try to be back in 2 hours (say).

    At least it puts everyone in the know. Simple and effective. And good practice too.

    The lack of communication is very unprofessional I have to say. Do they forget some of us pay for ESO+?

    I'm going with the assumption they are upgrading the EU server hardware like they did with the US server. EU server would definitely take much longer with all the problems it has.

    There is absoluitely no reason whatsoever to assume this.

    We've extended the extending extension because the extension needed extension on the extended extension. Deal with it. B)
    I am demanding better customer service from Zenimax Studios.
    I am demanding better and more open communication between the devs & the playerbase.

    Why are people surprised? I mean Damn. People are putting too much effort into Maintenance complaints. It'll be done when it's done, not before.

    Not sure what time is it in your latitude, but over here is 21:13 and they designed the game around logging in every day to perform certain tasks or miss out.

    On top of that they don't feel like they have to communicate in any way either.

    It'll be done when it's done, not before. might work for you, but does not work for me.

    There's a middle ground somewhere. I don't care in the slightest if maintenance goes over by like 15 minutes, but anything more than 30 should at least have acknowledgement.

    It was probably one of those things where it would be close to the time mentioned and so it didn't get updated, but then it runs a bit over. Much as I want to get in and play, if it keeps the game running well, I tough it out. LOL

    I mean Zos communication is a topic in of itself. Which is so very bad it's comical.

    But let's say they keep to the schedule but Maintenance needed more time in the oven, it would be a worse experience.

    Whether it works or not for me doesn't matter, it just takes a long as it takes.

    You got FOMO real bad though. If I miss a day, oops. It's not like the log in rewards are all that great usually.

    Not login rewards; writs, 26 characters worth, what keeps me afloat and self-sufficient. And pick up the resulting surveys or run around like a headless chicken the following day because of how convenient the 'respawn mechanic' is.

    You could pick the writs quickly and do double duty the following day, but they messed that up with the 'hotfix'.

    The sad part is that none of this is necessary, they could have maintenance with zero downtime.

    However for as long as a portion of the customer base consistently experiences lower levels of inconvenience and among those consistently inconvenienced there are still voices that defend the practice nothing is going to change.

    So what your saying is there wayyyyyyy too many alts and that needs to be dealt with so we can have a normal playerbase that has a IRL as well?

    Yeah that Sucks. Not gonna lie.

    I'm not defending ***. Zos should get their stuff together. They should communicate better. They should listen to feedback in general.

    I'm just saying people get way too worked up about maintenance running Long.

    GW2 has zero downtime for maintenance. They just ask you to relog when it is done. I wonder why they cannot do that here?

    Sure.

    But as the game is designed currently, with scarcity ingrained on every aspect of it, without the too many alts people players better learn how to be self sufficient, because the guild traders are going to be rather empty.
