Am I reading it correctly: 14 Hours for Patch Maintenance?

Be nice to Kevin. Without him we’d get no updates ever!

It’s likely the Hamsters are just taking a little longer to build up speed and get the servers running

Either that, or the person who told Kevin they flicked the On switch accidentally flicked the Off switch again

I remember the days of 8 hour extensions.

An hour seems like nothing.

@ZOS_Kevin Just wanna know... will the server be back online before Christmas, or should we bring back that thread where people send gifts to each other while waiting?

The couple of minutes means more than 20 minutes. Who knew.

Agreed. I just wish we wouldn't get minuted to death. If it's a hour, just say so.

The updates are appreciated 👍

Back in the day they'd be way longer extensions and we maybe got a message once every few hours.

This is a vast improvement engagement wise from ZOS TBF

Maybe they want just set a new downtime record who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

When WoW released Patch 2.4 the downtime was measured in days, not hours.

When Burning Crusade was launched it burned down the servers. I was there. It was hilarious.

Good times indeed!

They set a schedule and failed to deliver. Stop awarding poor performance...

Hopefully all this extra down time means the Audio lag on PS5 will be getting fixed.

Time is fleeting, and ZOS in each maintenance gives us the opportunity to explore outside our comfort zone.

People complain because it is 2026 not 1996 and most online services have little to no regular downtime (that the user sees) and that includes some games, even some MMORPGs (GW2, OSR, etc).

That's because users are moved to another server then moved back again. It might be 2026 but reducing costs is still the same animal it was in 1996. By all means feel free to petition Microsoft to reduce their profits or offer to fund it yourself.

Other games manage, seems to be a reflection of how much a company values the experience of its users, in the case of Zenimax, not much, which isn't a surprise given how they run the rest of the game.

I ain't going outside at 3am lol.

And that was the "updates will now be released at the same time for PC and consoles" 😉
Consoles now have a 4 hour delay in maintenance.

I wonder if there's an issue with releasing the console versions of the client. I was able to download the Xbox Play Anywhere version of the client on my PC hours ago. It was about 63GB. I checked my Xbox console and there's no updated client yet.
