Well it was somewhat exciting waiting for the game to finally acknowledge the wall on PC-NA was down and phase 2 was complete, we all rushed over to the wall and saw the tunnel, then worked out we had to wait 22 odd hours for phase 3 to start. That killed the excitement.

Pro-tip from PS NA, you’re gonna need to grab a new quest/update the Support the Fellowship at the Rampart camp with Skordo and the Prince before you go in there.

It was cool to all be gathered at the wall waiting… until the quest marker was suddenly behind us and this mass of people all turn around and tide full speed to go talk to peeps first… THEN ride back to the wall. LOL

So you did not have to wait 22 odd hours to get in there? I was waiting for a quest update at first, but it never came, so went over to inspect the wall. I am not doing those quests tonight, I am debating whether to even bother coming back tomorrow to try and get to the fortress, it will probably just bug out and be empty, leading to just more disappointment.

No, we had to wait. We finished Phase 2 last night and then got a timer that made us wait until 8:00pm Eastern tonight.

What I was trying to do was give advice for when your timer is done. Bunch of us were waiting at the wall to start Phase 3, then realized we needed to go back to camp to grab the quest/advance the other quest before going into the Writhing Fortress.

Don’t be like us. Wait in camp, grab your quest when your timer flips, theeeeen head to the wall.

That's an interesting take on the situation. I don't think PCNA "wimped out"--there were always people there taking on the camps. I also don't think the server's reputation hangs on this single event. Of course, I'm one of those quitters you mention, since I stopped participating in the event a little while ago, when I wasn't having fun with it.

No, you're not one of the quitters. The quitters were those who wanted phase 2 shortened, rather than just doing what you did, which was to do other things until it was over.

You're worried about what strangers say or think about what a sever did or didn't do during an imaginary video game event? Quitters lol. As if not enjoying the content you paid for is bad.

"Imaginary video game event"? It seemed pretty real to me. I can remember doing quests and everything. I'm pretty sure I wasn't imagining it, but YMMV.

As for the server wimping out, that was a bit of a light-hearted tongue-in-cheek jab. I should have known better than to say something like that here, where people are so easy to unintentionally rile up. Nobody, including me, ever cared about the server competition. We all know it was rigged. It's something I hope isn't repeated in future events.

My god talk about a failure. All this talk and build up and can't even do the event tonight. Who test this stuff? You had a whole year and still the main part of the event you release broken. 🫤

Fortress should stay BUT only for Season Pass owners not ESOplusers in a year. Tired of paying for content and being used as a Early Access tester with nothing unique to show for it - and no cosmetics don't count.

As a pass owner myself i have to disagree. This whole thing has been a complete mess. They should just shelve this whole limited time [snip] and go back to chapters, in practice if not in name. Im inclined to blame this game's new overlords for this "season pass" nonsense anyway.
[edited for profanity bypass]

Stoped playing and caring for this event..... It feels like work , not the adventure they advertised.

I was in the middle of making my own post while this one came up. It didn't help if you were in the first (or only?) wave, the quest still doesn't get any further.

Was under the impression it would behave like a public dungeon while it lasted and respawn so everyone could get a go, it's shocking if only a handful of people in the whole server ever get to experience it

It'll be a PD that lasts a week.

I love floating stuff, so I'd be game for a floating island, especially if it didn't have anything to do with Coldharbour. I mean, I appreciate Molag Bal's aesthetic sense, but I'm undergoing Prince of [censored] fatigue right now. To keep things simple, the island could just stay in place, so no big changes to the world map would be necessary. Bridges would connect the main landmass to smaller islands for more breathtaking views.

There's another example of a floating island in the main questline for Southern Elsweyr and I did take many screenshots while there.

Edit: apparently one of Molag Bal's titles is a no-no word, so I changed the text to avoid trouble.

Hi all, last update for tonight. We believe we've narrowed down the root cause of what is happening with the Writhing Fortress and are testing potential fixes. We'll have another update in the morning. Thank you all for your understanding.

Can you just stop the "clock" until you fix it?
OR
Is it just going to be broken till you fix it, making the time we have available to do it less?

"Oh sorry. We know it's not ideal but the way the fortress is coded, there's just no way we will be unable to erase it. The spreadsheet commands it." Or something to that effect.
