It's the same thing you goof. Coldfire siege is the siege weaponry that you want.

The siege weapons are called "Cold Fire" and "Cold Stone" - for instance the "Dominion Cold Fire Trebuchet" and they have daedric theming to them. Not sure what was on PTS, but it sounds like it may be the same thing. (Cold Fire Trebuchet, Cold Fire Ballista, and Cold Stone Trebuchet)

Adhazabi Aba-daro will only offer the Rewards for the Worthy item sets, and no others. We wanted to keep her stock thematically appropriate to the event, which is a PvP-centric one.

This excludes rewards from Battleground sets, correct?

I've run into that issue on my phone before as well. The way I got around it (as weird as this sounds) is by clicking on the article link in the Facebook post, via the mobile Facebook app. Not ideal by any means, but give it a try? Here's the link to the Facebook post about the event: https://www.facebook.com/ElderScrollsOnline/posts/1644528148890545

I'll go and roll out the lag red carpet then...

LonePirate

The 20% delve boss buff stacks with this 100% event only buff so you can earn 120% extra AP during the event. This makes repairing walls and doors an easy way to earn AP and thus more rewards emails and PVP skills/ranks for those who prefer PVE or RP.

Cyro is already unplayable on weekends with high latency, long loadscreens and getting kicked back to login. Then you have to get in line yet again to enter Cyro just to get more lag more long load screens.

Rickter

I know this sounds silly. . . but please take a moment and consider the excitement around this event as well as the last double ap noCP testing event. . . Can we please have this event extended another week?

I know it sounds crazy, but i am not trolling. ESO PvP has long been neglected in the sense of any major draw outside of its addictive and well designed core mechanics. An event like this is fantastic and exactly what we need to get more ESO guilds some PvP exposure.

Please consider. Thank you.

The only Crafting Motif going up in the Crown Store during the event is the Ra Gada Style we featured in the July Crown Store Showcase.

Well the pop locked campaign won't have any extra people in it, so it shouldn't be worse. Just longer queues.

PvP players complaining about the event being PvP when (a) PvP performance hasn't been fixed, (b) battlegrounds are locked behind a paywall, (c) group finding hasn't been fixed, and (d) the event isn't long enough in 3..2..1....

Integral1900

As a pve only care bear I will sit comfy in pve land with my vast mats and warehouses full of gear stockpiled and savour the in chat rage as the pvp tail finds itself buried under the pve dog, the landslide is coming, and the rage as both sides mix will be apocalyptic...

Is the achievement for killing players final blow only (like kill achievements), or just tagging them (as per the dailies in Cyrodiil) ?

You must land the killing blow for it to count toward the achievement, similarly to Imperial City and Battleground achievements.

Ouch. So much for getting this achievement on more than one character. Or, if I'm being honest, at all probably. In Cyrodiil, I'm usually just another warm body on my side, and frankly, I've always liked it that way. Though I did manage to kill 12 players who thought a keep was undefended with a siege engine once, but I doubt I'll get that lucky during the event.

Docmandu

More infinite loading screens inc for Cyrodiil I'm sure... still couple of weeks for ZOS to fix it, ROFL! Like that is going to happen!

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Are we still will going to get a pair of random monster set items in her stock?

argouru

Will repairing keep walls and doors also give double AP? I'm a pve player and prefer to avoid fighting other players as I don't find it enjoyable.

Thogard

What are the 7 achievements we need for the crown?

Yes. Also you might want to kill a dev boss to get the Blessing of War buff for 20% more AP and don't forget there are skills and passives that increase healing done that will give you even more AP.

Thanks for the reminder, @timidobserver. We are looking into it. (Will post in one of the threads you linked.)

Docmandu

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom will the infinite loading screens be looked at before this event?! or anywhere in 2017?

or are you also just going to ignore posts about this issue?


funny.. while typing this, cyrodiil crashed again for everybody :P
