Why is only 1 dolmen in Cyrodiil up at a time?

katanagirl1 · May 29

OK, I see the options you are taking about. All options for locations seem to be on. No problem there. I prefer to use triggers to zoom on and out and change zone maps instead.

I just logged in and went to Cyrodiil.you can only see the dolmens (and other POI) if you are at the wayshrine. You cannot see them on your player map or the Transitus map, at least on PS.

Yeah, and they definitely should have left Cyrodiil alone when they did this update. I finished this achievement probably eight or nine years ago, and boy, I'm glad I never had to do it the current way.

I did too. It is still possible to do it now but not solo. Somebody’s got to be back where you can see the map at the base and tell which dolmen is active.

Can't you just set your map filters to show the dolmens? I know I always see things like dolmens, skyshards, delves, etc. on my map of Cyrodiil, regardless of whether I'm using the normal wayshrine to leave Cyrodiil, using the transitus shrine network to fast travel to an accessible friendly keep, or just using my map to see what's going on. Addendum: Each of those types of map has its own set of filters, so you need to set them on each type of map.

We don’t have map filters on console.

We do. (On Xbox anyway). Bring up your map press Y (top of the 4 buttons on controller - triangle I think) then RB 3 times to filters. Then click everything. All the places your character has been will be viewable on the map.

Is this just for Cyrodiil?

The option is there for the other maps too, but usually the only one that goes unticked is view collected skyshards. Cyrodiill offers the option to view objectives, keep resources and other things as well as skyshards. (I'm on my way to work so not in the game right now, I don't remember all the boxes).

See my post above, you can only see POI on the map at the wayshrine, not the transitus shrine or your player map.

The other maps just show the keeps.

I prefer it the old way. Just running up to them set them off, no wasting half hour waiting for them.

IIRC, that's the default behavior on PC, too.

But the map for the transitus network and the player map both have filter settings of their own, at least on PC, which means you can go to a transitus shrine (back at base or in a keep or outpost) and change the filter settings as desired on that map, and display your player map and change the filter settings as desired for it as well. That's how it works on PC, anyway. If you select or deselect a particular option in the filters for one map, it does not carry over to the other two map types; you will need to select or deselect that option on each of the other two types of map if you want to change what's displayed on them.

I already checked and all options were on (player map). I can see those dolmens in other zone maps anyway.

EDIT: look, just somebody on PC go to Cyrodiil and open up the player map. You will see what I mean. Nothing but unlabeled keeps on it.

Honestly, 1 anchor should be put per "region" (if you divided the map into thirds, one active at any given time in each zone).

It is difficult to even target these unless your alliance has control over the whole map. They should make it so that each alliance has the ability to farm their own anchors within their region.

This is such a painful experience trying to complete all dark anchors in Cyrodiil. This place is enormous. Why on earth can only 1 of these be up? It's a tiny event. They should all be spawning in as you arrive and then have like a 10-15min respawn time.

Because the game is old and fixing Dolmens in Cyrodiil is a very very low priority?

My advice is: choose a campaign which is being dominated by your alliance. Upgrade the mount to max speed (including the Continuous Attack passive from Assault skill line which is unlocked at rank 3) and slot the champion stars that increase the mount's speed

Gifted Rider - Increases your Mount Speed by 2% per stage
Steed's Blessing - Increases your out of combat Movement Speed by .4% per stage
War Mount - Improves your mastery with mounts, removing all mount Stamina costs outside of combat.
