I noticed that you can cast blighted blastbones (stam skill) while in a negate field, but it will not jump. Is that because the jump is considered a spell (and silenced) or because the blastbones is an NPC who gets stunned? Or is there a third answer I didn't think of?

I had the hope that the new fence will fit in the colonnade, but unfortunately, its too short!

No time for casual players with limited play time.

Currently there's a golden pursuit(no thanks) for some shiny furniture item with interminably long associated scribing unlock quests that seems timed to end alongside the end of the mayhem event. Then there's subclassing and another interminably long grind to level skill lines done many times before already and, maybe, running around to get extra skill points on multiple characters.

So, currently, event participation, if it's happening at all, is reduced to porting to a cyro campaign dominated by another faction, grabbing a scout mission, back out then in again to a campaign where your faction dominates the map, complete mission and turn it in for tickets. And maybe loot the little bag beside the scout mission post for some water, a cheap traitstone or a green plan. Oddly, the mystery of this latter action is actually more interesting and enjoyable than the former - what will the bag-o'-mysterious-trash have for me today? Don't even need to put gear on for any of this - at all.

With a little more time available for 'play', head to imperial city ... and get bored quickly and leave. Maybe tell yourself that you should really try to get a couple of the quests done to hand in over subsequent days for that whole 1-ticket extra but ... meh.

PvPer here. Two reasons:

1. Subclassing Multiclassing broke balance in quite a bit, especially in tandem with the Monomyth mythic which is very abusable. The freedom of over 3000 skill combinations is worthless if 99% of those combinations cannot compete because of a lack of balancing, and the 1% that remains is the same few skill lines every time. It has also made PvP fights very unpredictable in a bad way, because before subclassing multiclassing, you knew what build you were fighting. You saw a DK, you knew what to look out for and how to play against it. Now every fight is that Moonknight meme "random BS go!" Although personally, I haven't actually noticed too much of a lack there, but if that's actually the case, that'd be why fewer of the hardcore PvP playerbase are showing up.
2. Vengeance being preferable to nonPvPers. Vengeance is extremely boring to me and many others, but people who don't PvP a lot like it because it gives them moments of success while regular PvP has a steep learning curve that involves dying a lot, which is probably not fun to a majority of PvErs who dip their toes into Cyrodiil. I can see how that would be preferable to a lot of players, even though I am of the firm belief that long term Vengeance cannot sustain a healthy population and the novelty will wear off quickly should it ever become a permanent addition, especially with its intended audience - PvPers.

For me, it's simple.

1. Balance. The same reason I barely ever PVP anymore, the single thing they have an absolutely inviolate obligation to be fixing, just keeps getting worse. Subclassing is a blatant doubling-down on the idea that ZOS doesn't think balancing is a problem, when balancing is, in fact, a massive, obvious, glaringly fatal problem. I really don't want much of anything to do with PVP as unbalanced as pre-Subclassing. I'm outright horrified by the idea of PVPing in a subclassing environment. Added to all that, Vengeance reminded me of what PVP can be. Vengeance was fun, and it made the current state of things that much more distasteful.

2. That said, I probably would be going in for more than just town and scouting quests a if my character weren't currently gimped by leveling subclass skill lines. I'm trying to get all the skill lines leveled up, and I'm mostly using my main for this. Mayhem, coming so soon after the release of subclassing, is just incredibly poorly timed for me.

3. On top of all that, I'm in Pacific Time, and I play pretty late on PCNA. My faction, DC, has no presence on any of the campaigns but GH whenever I log on, and GH is frequently pop locked. Maybe if DC would branch out a little on PCNA, I might tag along (on my severely hobbled character) to actually take/defend some stuff. But it's just pointless when you're gated on every campaign except the one thats pop locked.

One word:

Multiclassing.

Many dedicated PvP players won't have finished leveling up their new Multiclass PvP builds yet so aren't taking part as much or at all.
A great many more people who usually don't play PvP outside of events won't have even thought about designing a Multiclass PvP build and were caught completly unprepared.
Others will have decided that its just not worth the effort of leveling a Multiclass PvP build just for events.
Other players are playing ESO itself less or not at all for a few patch cycles while waiting for the Multiclass Meta's to stabilise, so there's less players around to start with.

There'll also be plenty of people who expect PvP to be an absolute train wreck of busted OP Multiclass PvP build like how PvE's DPS is and just gone "lolNOPE!".

I see that a lot Xbox na(AD) makes me almost wish for the pve cyro they want so bad after I waited 40 minutes in the que.

Using season pass terminology turned heaps of people off. Lack of content turned people off.

Subclassing is an absolute flop. It's driven many away from the game entirely. It's also just more grinding.

They didn't even use mythic in it or weave it into scribing so you don't have full skill line dumps. Just some lazy implementation.

Then we have massive success of vengeance pre and post subclassing. Why would you go back to immortal ball groups.

Will have to see what direction the new boss will take it.

Because I do not see this as PvP, ESO's PvP is more of a slaughterfest. Personally I just get my tickets and leave as fast as possible. Most players in these PvP modes are not looking for real PvP matches anyways, but for people they can insta-kill/gank.

My guess is there are three main reasons for barely anyone going into PvP:
1: Vengeance. The vengeance tests have shown many players PvP should be fair, and what fair PvP feels like. No longer being able to accept the state of the current PvP.
2: Subclassing/updates: Every time ZOS updates/changes the game, in this case with a major feature like subclassing, players have to keep their builds up to date. PvE players are not going to keep PvP builds up to date all the time, especially not with even more changes coming soon, just to play PvP for a week or two. PvP should be more accessible for everyone and not gearbased.
3: The PvP just isn't fun!

Tickets and I'm out!

I like to run IC in off-hours, do a mix of PVE and PVP, collect double Tel Var and the quests. In Cyro I only do the daily.

Overall I am not interested in the event or PVP in general anymore. And I started out as a PVPer.

Sub-classing is my major turnoff. Remember when you hated fighting against one particular skill of one particular class? Guess what, now you get the most annoying and overpowered skills of even more classes -- in just one build. Isn't that fun?

(No, it is not.)
