Is it my imagination or are maintenance session getting longer and longer....

moderatelyfatman · May 22

I've only been playing since early 2020, but performance is something that seems to have dropped off over the last 4 years.
I think people in the Asia-Pacific region notice this a lot more obvious because it's in our primetime: I've has gone from logging on before bed to get some of the dailies done to waking up early the next day to do the same.

There's always a long maintenance session shortly before a new patch hits.

You should have seen it before 2020.

After eight years of maintenance, the last two years have been the fastest and most reliable. That's my experience, cobber.

It's a bit different than the usual maintenance which is why this one's longer.

On Wednesday, May 22 beginning at 4:00 AM EDT/9:00 AM GMT, we will be bringing down all ESO megaservers and the ESO store and account system for regularly scheduled quarterly backend datacenter fixes and updates.

Hopefully this will fix the atrocious ping spikes many of us are having.

Your imagination.

I just count my blessings that 'PC/EU down' seems to be a thing of the past.

Ok. But the clown doing backflips outside my window is real, right?

East coast Australian here... I just assume that the short window I have before maintenance is all I'm going to get, since I sometimes can't play in the mornings (what with having a job and all...) so I quickly do all my writs and endeavours. If the server comes back online before I have to go to bed, that's a bonus.

Absolutely!
The one outside my window keeps slipping on the wet grass.
It's hilarious.

Someone in Discord with a few years worth of dwemer automaton bot data ought to be able to test this.

I'm scared of my clown because I live near the top floor of an apartment complex.

@LadyLethalla As a fellow Aussie, have you noticed it is becoming more common that you can no longer do the dailies after maintenance?

Hamsters' appetite grows. Imagine loading all those tons of grass and seeds into the feeder.
Complex logistics take time.
