Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Is there any chance of a Regular Maintenance Schedule.....

....instead of every other day as it seems to be currently?

Maintenance twice last week, then again on Saturday and again tonight, seriously guys sort out a regular Weekly Maintenance schedule so that people have half a chance of arranging consistent times in-game.
Also, it would be helpful if you at least gave an estimated duration of the downtime so some of us can decide whether or not it's worth waiting for servers to be back up or just give ESO away for yet another night and try again tomorrow!

    Saturday was the only new one, everything else was during the regular schedule, what more do you want? Saturday's downtime hardly affected anything. Today's maintenance is again on the normal schedule. Complaining for the sake of complaining at this point.

    Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured?

    They do have a scheduled maintenance time. Any time they do maintenance outside of that, the most likely cause is because they need to apply a hotfix. In other words, they have to do emergency maintenance.

    No, it's always a random day, sometimes Monday, sometimes Tuesday, always at 8:00 AM though. There are no regular set days. I would like regular set days also since the set days that are listed are not the actual days that are the days maintenance happens on half the time.

    I'd also like to see the maintenance at difference times of the day each time to give people in different time zones a chance to play since I get screwed each day of maintenance.

    There ARE regular dates (look up here in the forums, announcement) set up.... But that doesn't exclude the fact that there might need to be extra maintenance too like now with the patch update problems that have needed to be fixed.

    According to notes I read, this is to apply a patch not a hot fix....."On Monday (6/2) during the regular maintenance period, we’ll be pushing an incremental patch to the live megaservers....."

    So, if there is a "Regular Maintenance Schedule"...which day/night of the week might that be?

    They did maintenance on either Mondays or Thursdays according to what they said

    The only day I have seen ZOS do emergency maintenance is last Saturday. Other than that, they followed their schedule quite strictly. (Also, emergency maintenance usually do not last longer than 1-2 hours anyway)

    Monday and Friday 8am. But what I wanna know is how long should scheduled maintenance take, provided its uneventful?

    "Regular Maintenance Times
    The Elder Scrolls Online undergoes regular maintenance to provide you with the best service possible. We have scheduled the following windows for this purpose, although we may not need to use them every week:

    North American Megaserver
    Monday 8:00 am EDT (14:00 CEST)
    Thursday 8:00 am EDT (14:00 CEST)

    European Megaserver
    Monday 10:00 pm EDT (Tuesday 4:00 am CEST)
    Thursday 10:00 pm EDT (Friday 4:00 am CEST)

    Most maintenance periods will last for no more than a few hours. During these times, we'll deploy patches, server optimizations, database updates, hardware upgrades, and perform other routines that keep ESO running smoothly.

    EDT - Eastern Daylight Time
    CEST - Central European Summer Time"

    https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7658/kw/maintenance

    ZOS is following that really well, plus sometimes hot fixes like the one on early weekend mourning.

    I believe the window is 4 hours.

    Going by the last few maintenance times, it been lasting about 1 hour unless a major patch = 4 hours.

    It will be cool if ZOS give ETA's on patch and give out patch notes early so that we can read and discuss them with out it cutting into our game time.

    So do I and so do many other people that don't live in the US.

    Incorrect on both parts. It's not random and they most certainly have set days.

    Think of it like this. Your on a cruise ship..its caught fire,hit a rock and the shipbuilder launched the ship half unfinished to make money. The crew going to stop and ask you first every time they try to bailout the water? or only put out fires on Mondays/Fridays so not to disturb the guests? Expect a new problem and a new patch/downtime everyday with or without notice.

    @dusty5 good point there.
