ZOS_JessicaFolsomCommunity ManagerHi everyone,
As a few others have mentioned in this thread, maintenances for major updates like today's take longer than our standard patch maintenances. We know everyone is excited to get back into the game and play the new content. We're looking at at least a few more hours - we'll let you know if that changes and when the servers are back up and online.11 -

✭People have time to play ESO now want to have maintenance finish ASAP.
People can't play ESO right now, prefer ZOS take as much time as needed to get job done right.
Both understandable, but fighting each other over this is childish, really.
I can guess, guys complaining are likely from Australia. And guys heckling, of course are from EUR. US guys are all sleeping at this moment.
So please, all just state your opinions and stop fighting each other.
i take offence at your suggestions europeans know how to heckle. australians are the best at taking the pee outta someone.

✭✭✭✭✭People have no life lol. Go out, meet some people, invite friends for a beer, workout, grab your gf/wife and go on a date. Try a new hobby, read a book. Watch a movie/ anime / series. Read lore. Research new builds. Play another game. Work on your back yard. Walk a dog. Go shopping... ffs idk there's milions of other things to do you lazy asses.
Edit: "BUT MUH SCHEDULE"... That's life lol. I get it that you want to play now because you can. That's not an excuse to not do anything else productive though.
Firstly, you sound entitled as hell. Nobody likes a holier-then-thou ***. M'just saying. Most of the people who take issue with this, are in the UK. Where the time chosen is prime time off work time for them. Asking people who just got home to go walk they're dog at six in the bloody evening is a little unreasonable.
Secondly, people, this is the company who's regular maintence runs for eight hours. Eight. Hours. They're stability sucks, multiple people get kicked off without warning, what more warning for this kind of thing do you need?Edited by Doctordarkspawn on August 14, 2017 1:35PM0 -

I've been playing another game lately and each time they have maintenance they post their patch notes a day before the patch, they listen to feedback and developers keep players up to date on what is going on with the maintenance and why it's taking longer if it is.After 3 years you would think people would understand it takes as long as it takes. You act as if they want it to take longer so there's 87 threads on the forums from people complaining.
It's annoying, yes, but it's not like they are saying "oh snap Yarlenzey is mad, hurry it up!!!"
Really don't understand what is holding ESO back from doing this.
A thousand times this ^
Zos has always had issues with lack of communication.
This is the equivelent of:
When u are a restourant, and the server tells you that ur food will will be 10min but comes 45min + later; dont know about you, but thats servers tip is less now.
When you are hire a reno company for some work, they qoute you for 3 days, but take 5. Without any outlying issues.
Its the lack of communication and immaturity that zos shows time and time again that gets a bunch of us frustrated over and over.
Allegedly our population is mostly an older crowd, we have RL responsabilities and we work our gaming around them.
If they tell me game is down for 3 hours, Ill schedual my work around it, then come back to pc, all excited to play. But still have to wait a few hours with NO word from zos. As an adult. I get over it and get back up to do more work. But the issue of lack of communication and transparency remains frustraiting.Edited by DarkAedin on August 14, 2017 1:23PM2 -
GamerAeryn✭✭✭Seriously, people act like this game is the only thing they have to do and thier lives just fall apart when they cant play for one evening a week. That is honestly the impression you are giving with your response to downtime.
Be thankfull there is maintenance. Oh god imagine the results and the posts if they just didnt conduct maintenance.
The server is down for maintenance for i guess less than 4% of the year. Assuming about 6 hours most weeks. Come on....
Because it needed to be said again.
Get other hobbies, it's okay, game will be there when you get back. If one hobby is not available, get another. Your TOU has been properly served, your money has gone where it's supposed to go, let them fix/update your thing while you do something else. It's going to be okay, just skip a day playing if it's down while you're awake.Gaming Youtube: TESO questing gameplay

They probably average millions a month + whatever they already have from outright sales. They are NOT some starving indie group. They are probably closer to the billion $ mark and have LOW overhead. If a movie pulls 53 million a week JUST from theater sales, these guys make more from crown store and sub sales.
[Edited for removed quote]
I was looking up the prices of the first Star Wars movie back in 1977 and from the conversion rate over the years they would have made 3.1 Billion if it came out this year.

This inflation calculator uses the official US consumer price index. An inflation rate of 3.55% per year means $100 in 1977 is worth $403.50 in 2017.0 -

Any specific reason this wasnt put on the top banner? This is exactly what im talking about, thank you for answering here in this thread, but it should have been displayed on the banner since you knew this was occuring.
@ZOS_GinaBruno
Really just want to push that communication and transparency. Nothing personal.1 -

I don't complain about maintenance but I still don't like when people say stuff like the bolded above. I mean you are sat here on the forums telling other people to go F off out elsewhere. I can't decide if ironic or hypocritical.
Everyone knew this maintenance was coming - so people should chill, but at the same time the smarmy 'go smell a dog's backside whatever' posts are just as bad.
I am not sat here on the forums. I'm on my way to work. There's data on phones now just fyi. @MureelDoctordarkspawn wrote: »People have no life lol.

How am I entitled? O.o holy crap! You need to take the chill pill mate. How is it unreasonable? How is it any more reasonable to just waste time complaining on the forums? I'm like full of questions lol.
I'm giving people options/ideas and you just attack me with absolute nonsense. And who said you have to walk the dog? Do other stuff (although I'm sure the dog would love it). Also... when else would you do things than after work? GO WALK THE DOG DURING WORK? @Doctordarkspawn

I think this is all people need- the contact really helps us gamers with the anxiety or something- but ive noticed it calms the community down a lot. constant communication is a must in todays world. comments go from- this maintenance is BS to "oh thanks Gina! keep up the good work!" lesson there for ZOS to keep communicating with everything. helps it go down.
the way people react though reminds me of this

No, it`s not...it`s really not.
Did Zos tell you when the maintenance would be finished? When it would start, yes...but not end.
Its actually the equivalent of a restaurant telling you that the kitchen was having work done, and there would be no food until then.
TBH, I`m a bit mystified by the `more communication` idea....we were told (and knew) that there would be downtime....apart from when it will be back up, what more do you need to know?No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced3
