Why do you annouce the event only 3 days before ?

It is what they do, and it was expected.

I am saying this:

"F"

in advance, because I know how this is going to end...

lovely, lovely chaos...

I was really hoping they'd have an alternative route to tickets (dungeon bosses, or so forth) like they did last time. Funneling everyone into Cyro and IC seems ill advised, especially since they just had to fix problems related to player population in overland. People that are interested in the boom boon boxes and achievements will still go Cyro and IC.

Wow, with the state of the game after Greymoor and PvP seemingly getting worse week by week is this a wise expenditure of resources ?

What resources? Midyear isn't a new event, everything has been in place since the first one, the only thing to be done is flip a switch.

As we head into a DOUBLE AP event... Can we finally get some official word from ZOS about:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/519709/ap-boosting-feeding-legit-against-tos/p1

And from the last Midyear Mayhem -- suspicious rollbacks https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/511054/laatvulon-another-dc-rollback
Even if there were no foul play involved here, rolling back a significant amount of work is not funny at all and really deserved some kind of response.
I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen again this Midyear Mayhem.

DarthBetty

Well this should be interesting...

gepe87

My bet: they will cancel after 1 day.

ArchMikem

I have been waiting a whole year for the outfit style to finally become available, and everyone else here wants the Event canceled.

Last time I pvp Ed I had multiple rollbacks happen and lost tickets lol.

Are the banners Legion Zero again or will they be real Alliance Banners this time?

Looks like they will be Yokudan banners stolen (errr....repurposed) and used as Legion Zero banners again, and colored in your Alliance's color. But they learned their lesson about calling them "Alliance banners" last year, as this year they are called "Standard-Bearers emotes".

So, to answer your question: No. No Alliance banners this year.

Mr_Arce88

Is this the same banner emote as in January?

How can you honestly expect to run this event after a simple reboot destroys the servers.

Dojohoda

I need to free up inventory space on my pvp toons and the transmutation space.

This is my favorite event 😍 with the anniversary event being second, and any double arena award events being tied for third.

Minyassa

Very uncool to split tickets up between Cyrodiil dailies and IC dailies. Scouting missions have long been the staple of players who just cannot PvP to save their lives, and now those players are liable to be denied half the daily tickets entirely...unless they buy them from the crown store. It looks like you did that deliberately to boost store sales.

Tip: The Arena and Arboretum Districts have the best quests. The Memorial District has the worst. The standard of goodness here is how vulnerable you are to being farmed by fellow players, and specifically whether the quests require you to go to:

• Specific, visible areas where you can easily be targeted and farmed (bad).
• Anywhere in the district, with many choices of mobs to kill (good), or at least to a choice of specific spots that would be less productive for enemies to camp.

I think the Temple daily is worst, I haven't really been in IC since they updated the quests though.

Arena: Just have to rescue a dozen citizens. In some cases you don't even need to finish killing the mobs before you get credit. (They said they increased the spawn rates, hopes it's enough because this will be the popular quest.)

Arboretum: Kill mobs, loot pages. Only hitch is you need to stay alive to loot the corpse. Spawn points are along the wall, farthest from the flag. So if you are the 2 end alliances, just fan out to the side. The middle alliance, AD, risks getting pinched.

Memorial: kill enemies, hit x for ritual. This one isn't too bad. The spawns are next to the flag, so if you sneak off to the other side, you should be good. Only issue is finding enough piles of bones.

Noble: kill enemies, bait traps. 4 traps all in the corners, 3 of which are near each Alliance's spawn. This one almost guarantees you'll run into an enemy.

Elven Gardens: burn ballistas, get tar, toss in furnace. If you're DC, this quest progresses from your spawn point to the sewer entrance closest to your base. A few invisible pots, you can get through this one pretty easily without fighting mobs let alone other players.

Temple: kill enemies, get wine (near DC), brazier (near AD), anoint ash.

This one has a lot of steps, and has you crisscrossing the map.

What do you think the reboot was for?

So is the event over in 4 days 23 hours or does it end on July 7?

merevie

Announcement says I have 4 days and 3 hours for Mayhem.
Quest in Crown store says 11 days.

Anyone know which is wrong?
Or are both wrong and it is another time?
Thanks.

There is an error in this news article: "The Event Ticket timer resets at 1:00AM EDT each morning."

For "1:00AM EDT," read "2:00AM EDT."

And now I am certain that all the mirrors of PVE zones are removed. I am getting an infinite loading second time in 10 minutes when trying to get into Summerset. I've been in Cyrodiil, then moved into Tideholm, and now Summerset is inaccessible to me. It looks like new instance of Summerset is prohibited to be created, existing instance is full, and now I am in a queue (infinite queue without a number in it) waiting for somebody to move from the zone.
Is it the second goal, not only to move players into PVP by rewards, but also by making PVE zones unplayable?
