Every time I go to join the main campaign it's pop locked. That sounds like it's busy no?

I do my ticket quests in a 7 day campaign so I'm not inconveniencing pvpers, and there's less chance of ganking etc, but Greyhost is always full

Same reason why other areas of the game are feeling dead. It's because Multiclassing, and most likely poor reception to the new content model. I stopped playing as soon as U46 dropped because I knew Multiclassing would damage the game too much. You don't need to multiclass in PvP, but Animal Companion, Assassination, and Storm Calling is definitely the meta setup, and I bet players would rather deal with pre U46 magsorcs than this new setup a lot of people want to use and are just skipping out. A lot of PvEers who do like PvP aren't playing either because subclassing has made everything except 1 setup useless. No point in playing the class you like anymore in PvE because you're going to be at the very least 20% less effective than the worst player using the meta setup.

It's not event fatigue, unappealing event rewards, or some external force of nature. Last year, even with the server issues, had a lot more activity despite also having unappealing event rewards and the same amount of events next to each other.

Its really so boring in pvp, every good setup is the same.

„Play how you want“, yes but not if you want to be good.

My opinion is some player are staying away because of Vengence.

They think that if that is the way PVP is going then why should they even bother.

The issue is that to keep both sets of player happy they will need to have campaigns as they are now and an extra Vengence one to keep pure PVPers happy.

If you do your research it has already been commented that Vengence is just a testing platform and isn't the way they want to go with it.

But they have let the genie out of the bottle now so maybe they will have too.

Personally, if it gets all the toxic players onto tht campaign I am all for it.

I sometimes get lucky and manage to take out a PVPer.

How do I know they are a PVPer? They start to call me all the names under the sun and threaten to report me because their build is infallible so I must be cheating.

11 years cyrodiil is the same, that's why.

Multiclassing, ball groups and lags. On top of it no one is inviting to groups even if the campaign is locked.

So I do a few quests in one or two settlements to get the event tickets and a few boxes and leave after that.

Like many, all I do is a quick quest in Cheydinhal and another one in imperial city for my tickets and then leave this nightmare. Usually take less than 15min, even than 10 sometimes.

Several reasons for me. Definitely nothing to do with Vengeance. I'd love to be PvPing during this event, but the game is too laggy and subclassing has made the sort of impression I dreaded it would.

It's far too laggy for me in game generally, which rules Cyro out because larger battles will freeze me up beyond being able to do something or have fun. BGs are less laggy but certainly not good for fighting in.

I'm on a pure build meeting opponent teams that often have zoo builds which also seems to bring lag and subclass builds that hit a lot harder than I can. I'm not interested in subclassing just for an event. Even if I was, I wouldn't make a build just now, as we're still testing Vengeance and getting "balance" changes to combat skills/gear. I'm not interested in constantly changing builds and re-making them.

What does worry me is even when I win battles in BGs and do well on my pure classes, PvP just isn't fun. It's just even lamer overpowered templates and far too many pets. I say that as a player who always likes pets and PvPs with them. I'm genuinely embarrassed to have a Warden when I see the zoo builds cluttering up a fight.

I might try my NB in IC for a bit and see how that goes. But I think PvP is about done for me now, even if I subclassed it doesn't appeal to me in the slightest. A year ago I was having a lot more fun even with the imbalances we had and lag.

For me it's because of the weather. Been so warm, and nice, so sitting in front of a pc, gaming, hasn't been something I prioritized.

Low pressure coming in today, so then it will be more gaming. For me autumn and winter are the gaming seasons, and rainy days in general, of course.

I usually enjoy Mayhem, but subclassing has just turned off my interest for anything serious.

Have been queuing for a BG a day to get some event things, but the BGs don't always fill. If BGs have trouble filling in an event, something must be off?

One word:

Multiclassing.

this is probably going to be a big one for most ppl. i stopped playing actively back in april when they made the announcement about solstice, season pass, subclassing and all that "good" stuff. all i do now is take a few mins each day to grab daily log in bonus and do the easy endeavors that can be done wherever i happen to be standing. normally if there's an event, i grab event tickets... but this time, i completely skipped it the first day. and did not even care. eso has become a really tedious chore for me now. forced myself to do my main account event tickets on friday. yesterday (saturday) managed to force myself to do event tickets on both accounts. will be less tedious now that i have a toon in cyro and a toon in ic. i just leave them there for the duration of the event and there's less running around.

To add on to my post. I think a whole overhaul of the pvp system needs to be done. I was having this talk with server pals and we all agreed that removal of a reason to gank would improve a lot of things. By that I mean can't get Tel Var/ap from killing players. Have to find ways to earn it more. More rewards too would improve things a lot. New dyes, emotes, mini's or something. Maybe even rare crafting mats.

An instance of a pve only cyro and pve only IC would also go a long way for many that would love to do that or get rid of the pve aspects of Cyro and IC. Why I think battlegrounds is a bit better than Cyro

It's rng based. Couple days I didn't even get pages.

Another idea, maybe some new pvp campaigns. Would go along with the overhaul of pvp. Maybe something similar to chaos ball, flags and relics but like on a larger scale where each alliance fights to capture the most resources. FF14 has something like that which can be fun when you know what you're doing

I'm not a PvPer, so I pretty much always do the bare minimum for PvP events. Having said that..

The campaign I've been entering for Cyrodiil to do my one quest for tickets is so dead that I was able to go into the enemy big cities to turn in quests I'd had in my journal forever, so that was nice. Usually when I try that, I get killed.

I do the daily quests in Cyrodiil and Imperial City on empty campaigns to get my event tickets and the event style page once per day drop and then log out.

How are you getting an event style page per day? I've done both an IC and Cyrodiil quest every day so far for event tickets, and I've received only 1 style page. Am I supposed to be getting one per day from the golden boxes? If so, something's broken for me. I thought I was just having lousy RNG.

On the first day I got lucky RNG and got 1 style page from only doing one IC and one Cyrodiil quest. On every other day I did not get a style page from the first two boxes. I have found that doing one to three additional Cyrodiil quests with my typical RNG is getting me the event style page. YMMV. Since there are empty campaigns, I can find one town that is owned by the faction I am logged in on and do as many quests from a quest giver as it takes to get the event style page to drop.

I spent years slogging my way to my first General Star on my Nightblade.

Im PvPooped.
