I am guessing the maintenance was for something pretty severe that needed fixing and should be done. I agree they need to communicate "why" in these cases a whole lot better

The servers are down? I just came here to troll.

denicolad16_ESO · May 2014

This is a perfect example of how they don't care about the community.

I don't care. I pay to play. I demand to play during prime time. If it was something that needed fixing that is what non prime time is for.

LOL and if there was one in Oceania then most of the players would speak an Asian Language.

Don't be foolish. What if a piece of essential hardware failed? The issue here is communication to the player base

There is a significant difference between a "scheduled" maintenance and an "unscheduled" downtime for a bug fix. Perhaps ESO should be more specific in their wording. It would help in avoiding all of the conjecture regarding this event.

Poor timing for a number of players if this is the "scheduled" time.

What's even funnier is Wildstar servers went up as ESO came down...

It's almost moronic.

your attitude blows. americans are not more important than people in other countries and do not deserve to be listened to more. we individually pay just as much dollars as you do to play this and your dollars are not qualitatively superior to ours. just because there are more of you collectively doesnt mean that you each individually should have preferential access to the game.

the point is that australian players are NOT being listened to at all. maintenance times are ALWAYS during australian prime time. its not like i can sit at home all day playing ESO. i work and study, im *** busy. the only time i can play is in the evenings. if 3 evenings of my week are blotted out for a game i paid just as much for as an american player, and the evening of an american player is blotted out never, how is that fair? why cant maintenance times just be varied?

PS your brain is a rectum

I just always get worried that they are going to apply a "fix" during these maintenance times and never inform anyone of what they did exactly.....but .....who doesn't like stumbling upon a new class mechanic when they log in Saturday morning??!!

Hey,it just keeps things fresh and exciting that way!

Sound's like you'd have a problem with that... just saying.

The ones who are fairly clueless. Offline maintenance is a thing of the past for those companies who wish to act like they're operating in this decade.

Anyone at ZOS that's feeling frustrated, ArenaNet is hiring.

Hello, folks! The North American megaserver is now up again, and we hope we'll see you in Tamriel. Thanks for your patience!

theyancey · May 2014

ZOS can't catch a break. People either are raging about bugs or about them being fixed.

Pull up the big girl panties... maintenance is what is needed more than anything on this game.

Read a few pages of a book, pull up some nudity on the net and wrestle your monster, grab a shower... you probably smell a little. There's another good option in my sig.

See you in game in short amount of time not even worth complaining over...

Get your nose outta my arm pits buddy!

I'm sure they become desensitized to it as well!

Info, they don't do that! They might give us a false hope they actually got something done correctly for once.

Question: Is Australia 's pop bigger then US and / or EU pop? ZOS has the data and they know when the server is less busy.

I really feel sorry for Australia players, but I rather have a game with bug fixes. I can live with some downtime for that.

The server is least busy during European peak hours.

What kind of genius company take an RPGMMO off line for maintenance at 8am Saturday morning or 10pm Australian time, which is prime gaming time, regardless whether it is supposed to be a 'short maintenance'!

Since when is 8am Sat morning a prime gaming time? Mornings are dead time in every mmo. Evenings are the prime gaming time. If they needed a weekend fix they did the right thing. This is a NA server on NA time. If you choose to play there from a different country that is on you.

Yes well the reason why you are not being listened to much (if at all) is that there really aren't that much of you to be significant to begin with. This is likely the reason why your needs are not being acknowledged. Not hating just stating facts. If there were more of you to make a difference financially then you may have more bargaining clout. Unfortunately there isn't.

Why do people quit over the most silly aspects? So ZOS needed to give the servers a little TLC, it is not like it is the end of the world .. or is it? Do this Khajiit missed that memo?
