Can I have your stuff @GengulfusTOTALLY EPIC FAIL- Launch a Promo but don't increase capacity at all.
I am staring at a queue of over 500 to get into a campaign I play every day.
Please fire your marketing and tech team and acquire some talent who know how to attract new players without alienating the core player base who buy DLC and subscribe to ESO Plus religiously.
Off to play other more accessible games with properly scaled hardware - OVERWATCH FTW
Also cancelled ESO plus for this month as a punishment - others should consider voting with their feet likewise.

SaffaraSoul ShrivenSeriously? You will monitor populations to see if you need to do something? It was already a 30 min wait to get into Sotha before this crass event but then we know that you don't pay much attention to PvP so no surprise there.4

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom - Please take into consideration that many more people will be logging in on the weekend for the event. I, like many others, work during the week so I would like to be able to pvp this weekend and in the evenings after work. Before the event, I've had to wait for 45 minutes to an hour to get in on work nights. I can only imagine how it will be tonight. This sounds like an awesome event and I do hope to get to experience it. I've been very excited since the announcement. Thank you 2

Nutshotz✭✭✭✭So let me get this right, Jessica and the minions open up a new campaign it hits pop lock and a queue of give or take 150-200 in less than 5 minutes, while the other campaigns are averaging queues between 250-1000.
What actually needs to happen before this weekend is 3 or 4 more campaigns opened upon I understand about the campaign switch but when your daily pvp players are getting pissed because they can't pvp cuz of the event, it's common sense or does zos not have that?2 -

It amazes me people care so much that I don't like it.
Oh, and just because someone doesn't like something, doesn't mean they can't "cope" with it.

✭✭Works fine imo. PVE players get to play PVP because they are forced by they need for stuff and achievements. PVP players get to play PVE, because what else to do waiting in queue 0 -
Alp✭✭✭✭✭I had a 900+ queue for Vivec. Got to 700 before I gave up for tonight. Better get up early tomorrow to queue and then I have to keep going to my pc so the game doesn't kick me out.0 -

it was fun, total chaos but fun.
Lots of people is too scared for PvP. Its less scary than group dungeons. People expect some standards in group dungeons as in don't wipe on first trash in wayrest sewer 1 normal.
In an zerg group hang back heal or snipe. Use siege engines then you can they are fun, a shame we can not use them in PvE.
Grinding just make you go in circles.

✭✭✭Shame on you, ZOS, for not getting this right. Like everybody, I was put in a long queue. Waited patiently for close to an hour as the number of people ahead of me crept down slowly. Did some crafting and checked again -- only to find myself farther down in the queue than the point were I started. (PC-NA Sotha Sil campaign).
A queue is bad enough, but getting reset to a lower position in the queue really sucks!
I logged out of the game to give my jaw-clenching "midsummer madness" a chance to dissipate.Edited by DarcyMardin on 21 July 2017 02:071 -

Except RP players. They dont deserve it. We've had enough of reading zone chat about how they will unleash their fury into the world and burn us all to ashes.2 -
MRusso89✭✭✭Dumb question but, if I log out, am I thrown to the back of the queue? When I log back in to enter a campaign?Hermaeus Mora, elder than Ada, Abyssal Cephaliarch, hearken to the plea of this unworthy, for I have come to barter for knowledge denied.

ZOS underestimated the popularity of a holiday event. Again. Hopefully they will be able to spin up Almalexia again and a few other standard campaigns, as they seem to be sorely needed.MasterSpatula wrote: »I never really thought going down to 3 campaigns was ever a good idea in the first place. Glad to see they're adding one campaign, but it still perplexes me why it wasn't added at last server reset.
Over or underestimated? I do not even think they did estimate anything xD

N'ah... Not really. I'm pretty sure things would've been better if this was a PvE event. It would equate to: Less lag in Cyrodiil, less rage and hostility from cheesy builds and lag in Cyrodiil, less rage at the fact people have to PvP to get said motifs and other goodies, etc.
I thought the Thieves Guild anniversary event was horrible, due to how small of a zone Hew's Bane is. Plus all those people packed in there to grab nodes. This event is 10x worse. Easily.2 -

The event itself is fine. The issue is like always, they were not prepared for the event. They already had a double AP event when they were testing stuff and it was the same. Its common sense that they needed to open more campaigns for the duration of the event.0 -
