    Same here as reported on the PC Support board

    Same: Was on Nimbus for an endeavor and the game crashed. Tried to sign back in and got Unable to authenticate.
    Now a LTS and loving it.
    Just because you spend money on this game, it does not entitle you to be a jerk if things don't go your way.
    I have come to the conclusion that I have a memory like Etch-A-Sketch. I shake my head and forget everything. :D

    Took a good 15 minutes of having the connection timed out to log into the ps4 version and once there it seems they forgot the breach was due to start today.

    Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one.
  • matthewfelixmatthewfelix Member Posts: 52 Arc User
    So how long until people can log into the game... not everyone can wait around all day to play since we also lost time with the patch today. This 'Unable to Authenticate: Connection to the account server timed out' is annoying... when will it be fixed?

    So either the Server Hampsters died or a DDoS?
    Probably Server Hampsters died.

    Log-in worked for about 2 hours after maint ended (for me), but just trying to get back in now, not working. Timeouts. Guess we will just have to wait til they find the wire someone tripped over and plug it back in.

  • ilithynilithyn Member Posts: 903 Arc User
    Oh great, not just me then. I just wanted to log in and run an event queue before bed because now is the only time I can do it and then this. Fantastic. Swear these guys are as good at ZOS at this.

    It's good that those without any use for "The Alliance" just got official recognition. I wish they'd leave the servers alone though and perhaps attack ESD instead.
