Cinco De Mayo Event?

Graydon · May 2018

So tomorrow is May 5th and I cannot understand why there’s no event this year.

Here in America we will be celebrating France’s victory over the Germans for bombing Pearl Harbor.

It’s a very important holiday and full of celebrations. Why no event???

Since it’s an obvious excuse to drink, you should pick up the undaunted achievement for buying everyone drinks.

Because May 5th is Queen Ayrenn's birthday, and that is a much more important event. Happy Birthday to our great and glorious Queen!

We celebrate 5th May here as well, since my country got liberated from Narzi occupation forces on that date. But I think reason for not making holiday event in ESO is probably because it's a specific real life historic event involving nazis, 2nd world war etc. I don't see how that would fit well into the world of Elder Scrolls.

Which war was that?

The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
The Allies defeated the Germans in September 1945.
The Mexicans defeated the French on May 5th 1862.

Because it's not a Holiday?

Americans use it as a day to destroy their liver with tequila, eat tacos, and wear sombreros.

Hell, it's not even a federal holiday in Mexico. Don't think they even really celebrate it in Mexico.

Think Americans celebrate it more than Mexicans do.. but that applies to just about every other cultural holiday that American's have appropriated.

Before anyone says anything about Mexican independence day.. that's 16th Sept.

The school system has claimed another victim.

Rather than complain about some miscellaneous occasion not being celebrated in a video game, you should go back to school and review history.

Path · May 2018

Every-time you fall in battle, you must down a shot of tequila.
If you never fall...you are missing out on the fun.

DoctorESO · May 2018

Let's designate May 5th as Friends Day, both in game and in the forums. For this day, let's all try to be friends. If such a thing is possible.

We don’t have one cause Argonians are the closest to an Latino race (Mayan) and we know ZoS is not giving us a holiday.

Because we have 54 Tamrielic Holidays.
Real life and "American" holidays have no place in ESO or Tamriel. Period.
Next Tamriel Holiday~

Second Planting - 7th Second Seed (7th May)
The celebration of Second Planting is in full glory this day. It is a holiday with traditions similar to First Planting, improvements on the first seeding symbolically to suggest improvements on the soul. The free clinics of the temples are open for the second and last time this year, offering cures for those suffering from any kind of disease or affliction. Because peace and not conflict is stressed at this time, battle injuries are healed only at full price.

Thats why.

Yup! Really.....

2E 555 Ayrenn, future Queen of Summurset and ruler of the Aldmeri Dominion, is born on the 5th of Second Seed to King Hidellith and Kinlady Tuinden. The date (5/5/555) is considered auspicious, and her birth is supposedly celebrated for 55 days.

(It had to be posted after this!)

On a more serious note - ESO does not have events for real world holidays, only for tamriel-ic holidays, like witches festival, new life day, etc. But many of those are of course derived from real world holidays... and a lot of them are not in the game yet, so we can hope for eventually finding small mini events for observances like "fishing day" or "dancing day" or "sun's rest" or "appreciation day" or "moon festival" or... or...

Saturnana · May 2018

Today is Liberation Day in The Netherlands.

Having said that, our liberation from Germany in '45 is likely not something that will be celebrated in-game. ESO doesn't do real-life events. At most their in-game counterpart, if there even is one (i.e. Nirn's version of April fools, Halloween, etc.).

WoW celebrates most of them. Thats why WoW is much more fun (in the literal sense of the word, as in having a good time) than other mmorpgs.
