Official Discussion Thread for "Begin Your Life of Crime with the Return..."

markulrich1966

for me it is ok.

We had a survey some days ago, features or fixes?

High majority voted for fixes, so I am glad that ZOS realizes the will of most players.

I prefer midyear to thieves guild, but cyro meanwhile would be limited anyway due to faction lock.
Midyear with faction lock, so you can only do the dailies in vlastarus OR Bruma, not both (enemy territory).

So it is fine. PVP players can continue to play in cyro without being harrassed by thousands of evil spies, and the fixes hopefully will benefit all players. Elsweyrs constant crashes using wayshrines on xbox give no good impression to newcomers...

In my best mom voice, I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed.

In my best dad voice, I'm disappointed. Not so much at ZeniMax anymore, but in myself for actually expecting something else.

This is the equivalent to saying well, we won't be going to the beach today because I have a hangover, and you complained last time that I was not fun. I will use your beach time to trim my nails, because in all honesty, the drive only takes me 20 mins but I pretend it's a really huge job to set up this event. This sacrifice by you will produce a great chocolate cake for your sister at some time in the next year...

Except that after many, many years of no cake, we begin to doubt cake exists... or that it won't look like a frozen pop tart when it finally arrives.

Sometimes we don't get everything we want. Big deal. That's life.

Investing time to fix significant performance problems is what people have been screaming about. This is a good thing.

It is very clear at this point that zenimax has designated PVP as a dead portion of their game, and one that is not profitable enough to invest any resources into. You just cited an article about "EU server performance" as the reason you're cancelling THE ONLY PVP EVENT OF THE ENTIRE YEAR. There is no "ongoing effort to improve performance", you haven't even formulated a plan on how to address it yet because you don't care. After all, the most profitable portions of the playerbase are the cosmetic and housing enthusiasts, right?

This is pathetic. If you were so worried about the BG queue finder not working, THE ONLY PORTION OF THE EVENT THAT WOULD BE AFFECTED ACCORDING TO YOUR CITED SOURCE, you could leave the double AP modifier to cyrodiil and IC only.

*** off zenimax.

You got another midyear mayhem in january thought

It was a bonus event and they clearly stated they’d have one this summer. The fact that they pulled out at the last minute shows how much of an unprofessional joke this pathetic company is.

Yeah go ahead and mock the people who have been lied to about them fixing significant performance problems for literally 5 years. Lets see them take away the thing you've been looking forward to FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR.. not oh we gonna roll this out later but a whole year later (see that nothing even gets fixed) and hear you say thats life. Thats all life is in eso for pvpers. Empty promises, the pvp community is tired of it.

If you pvp, I suggest you ALL go into gold coast/hews bane and hold massive duels in front of the quest givers till lag in cyro is fixed.

Sorry pve players, it's a walk off.

I’ll do that. I’ll get all of my guildies to just have massive dueling tournaments inside the zone so everyone can endure the lag.

Vildebill

Was really looking forward to midyear mayhem this isn't very fun news.

Darkmage1337

@ZOS_MattFiror should have ended the BE3 ESO showcase with: "by the way everyone, we are canceling Midyear Mayhem. Have a goodnight! See you next E3!"

What a $#!7 show.

Midyear Mayhem was, and still is, by far, the most popular and original ESO event.
And, no, ESO events that mimic real-world holidays don't count. Holiday events are just crown-store marketing gimmicks sprinkled and baited with a double XP bonus.Oh, it's Halloween, buy this undead/skeleton/ghost horse. Oh, it's Christmas, buy this snowflake so you can feel so special. Oh, it's April Fools. The only fools are us, the players. We got Z0$'d yet again.

The only time Cyrodiil ever feels alive is during the Midyear Mayhem event.

Just... Clean up after yourself.

Game is trash.

LordTareq

None of the events are any fun, so I don't care either way.

Vyle_Byte

You know, I stopped subbing for the first time since 2014 last year... went an entire year without subbing to "vote with my wallet", I realize they dont actually give a crap about my measly few bucks a month but it was a statement i was willing to stand for bc just kinda sick of the kind of company theyve turned into.

I resubbed for 2 months this year, for reasons... well Im done, like seriously done. They may not care that Im never giving them money again but Im seriously done supporting them in any way. They have pulled our strings for too long with empty promises and never delivering. They have proven that they arent capable of fixing performance and/or not willing. Taking away the one thing pvpers have just to avoid the flood of threads that yell about performance is a chicken *** move. Thats all this is really about. Avoiding not fixing. Been told that crap WAY too long to believe it.

ill make it fun. Join the massive PVP duel in gold coast!! Bring a pet sorc and make sure you stand in from of quest givers lol.

Arandear

Always been a massive supporter of Zeni but wow thats messed up. Performance has been trash for so long in PvP and has gone practically unnoticed by Zeni and now they're halting the only event we PvPers look forward too in the year. Guarantee they don't even get around to improving the performance over the course of the year either.

Very disappointed.

In light of our ongoing work to improve game performance and the Activity Finder, we are holding the Midyear Mayhem event until next year to ensure that the player experience is a good one. In its place, we are moving forward the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration Event, which will run from July 2 to July 15, and will give players the chance to earn the Event Tickets needed to start the Onyx Indrik mount evolution.

Thanks for removing one of the few things you do for PvP and doing a DLC event.

No disrespect intended but *** off.

Tsar_Gekkou

I'm not even a pvper and i'm annoyed because I don't like doing these dailies. I'd honestly rather pvp.

SURE GLAD I ALREADY GOT MY OVERLORD'S PURPLE DYE. >_< Would have been nice to, since that close already, just get to 5-Star during this event, but I guess the "Encore" replaced the main Midyear Mayhem time this year after all...

Darkmage1337

Well, everyone, at least we still have the IMPERIAL CITY ANNIVERSARY event in September to look forward to.
Or is that canceled, too? @ZOS_SarahHecker

disintegr8

I was looking forward to the mid year event but I never did BG's anyway.
Will only be doing enough to get tickets but that Indrik looks ugly.

RIP PVP.

@ZOS_SarahHecker

Does this event come with any double XP source? Lots of hungry alts and new players would appreciate it!

Normally it doesnt

This is worst decision, was waiting for mid year mayhem event.

Can ZOS not even handle simple event.

eovogtb16_ESO

How come you are cancelling it for queue reasons and not even acknowledging how unplayable Cyrodiil is even without this event?

Urvoth

No quick balance fixes to change things like the necro bash, no stability or performance fixes, no actual new pvp content since Morrowind, no private lobby system for BGs, no good PvP rewards comparable to trial skins or undaunted plunder, no fixes to BG queue issues, no non-cp dueling options, no pet targeting fixes, and no arena system or options for more competitive gameplay, and now zos takes away the one dedicated PvP event of the year...

KillsAllElves

Thanks for shafting pvp players once more
