I don't give a *** about all the *** on this forum. I want my ETA.
Just because all forums have a bunch of kids on them...
It's funny, the first quote sounds just like my kids when they can't get something they want.

First time you see an adult using curse words or is it the first time you see an adult dumbing down there syntax to make it more understandable for kids?2 -

So just curious how you with all that wisdom manage to reply to his post within 2 minutes
Feels like your just like us... sitting and waiting 
Waiting for what? I didnt even know the server was down. I am at work and unable to play.
*edit* I play on the NA server. It already has the new patch.
Which is absolutely idiotic by ZOS. I bet they patched your game last night or something, while everyone was awake, and now they patch the EU server, where everyone is awake, while most americans are fast asleep.
Think ZOS, THINK !!!!1 -

Look here when they brought down the servers... https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail2/a_id/43200 -
Burrick✭No doubt this patch won't work for us which will mean another few hours rollback and then bring the servers up in the old state.2

Sparkleav✭✭✭11am BST now and the last bit of communication from ZOS was at 9.45ish...I'll give them until noon before getting irate.0

They are on different computers. Things can happen with one that did not happen with the other. Not everything always goes perfectly all the time. They have communicated it is taking longer than expected.
Yes but it's the same game and the same patch.
They have told us its taking longer than expected? Oh, that's Ok then. I'll send them some more cash as a thank you.

I agree, if both servers are in exactly the same state prior to the patch what difference does it make? if it all went fine for the NA server they shouldn't be encountering any problems on the EU server.

In a perfect world two of the same servers with the same patch will act the same way. We do not live in a perfect world.

Maybe they are using out of date hardware for the EU server?

That does not have to do with anything. Most likely is that NA servers have different hardware then EU servers or that some hardware on the EU server broke down that they have to fix.
The EU server we play on now was meant to be a temp server until the physically move it to EU. So it's not that weird if they use some 2nd hand hardware in it.1 -

Proper communication is needed. Their was no timeline/eta included in their taking longer then expected post. Hence not good enough.

Why on earth would it have completely different hardware? I know you guys been spreading a rumor the EU server is a commodore 64 but I would bet $100 they bought all the equipment at the same time (or leased it whatever) and the servers run on the same hardware. They are even in the same location right now as the NA server.0 -

I'm not quite sure why people think this, if I take two identical computers and install identical software on them they should react in the same way, if there is a hardware issue such as a failure of a component then that's a different matter. In that case just post an update telling us that and not all this "unforeseen problem" junk.
It's not luck with machines, do we turn our TV on and cross our fingers that it works? Not walk under a ladder in case it means our car won't start? No. Unless there is a fault 2 servers running the same software should take the same patch without issue.

If you buy. lets say a Nvida 760 graphic card made by Genimax and one made by ASUS you would not have to identical but two slightly differnt cards. The quality of the build can be different and so on.Edited by Sunrock on May 1, 2014 10:18AM1 -
