I'm confused.

Is Phase 2 just more of the same from Phase 1?

There was a small intro quest about supplies and nothing else.

AND, we didn't get rewarded for running that quest.

Not sure if it would belong here, but I don't recall light casting shadows, yet the beam that hits the wall casts a very nice dark line all over from the camp to the wall!

Oh yes, I was laughing too when I saw it yesterday

It's not over yet. That quest began with the start of the event in phase 1 and just progresses with every new phase (when the phase hasn't progressed yet, it will remain stuck at "support then camp" and clutter your quest log until the next phase starts). It won't be over before phase 3.

Technically, they went from one siege camp running to two. It also feels (at least in the lower population times) that they increased the difficuly of the monsters.

I can confirm... Two sieged camps, and tougher monsters, quite hard without several players present, while the chest has the same (now) worthless loot.

There is no race if the progress is pre-determined and artificially throttled. Remove the false "race" idea, and there is no "once in a lifetime" event. In that, the entire things fails. It's hard to imagine anyone thinking this viable, but it was released onto the servers........

If the event was rewarding in ANY discernible way, I'd play more. But most of it, including the "best" event rewards, appears to be paywalled, and I choose to spend my money elsewhere (altho I do sub on two accounts) rather than content which may/may not be worth half the ticket price. Even the Witches Fest, usually my favorite, is so lackluster and stale it doesn't hold my attention longer than the 10 seconds it takes to down a delve boss.

Honestly, I don't require much in a game beyond solid. relatively bug-free mechanics and a bit of lore-respecting innovation every now and then. ESO has progressively failed on both counts lately.

ESO is doomed to fail, the worst event I've ever seen. I haven't played it since it started. Zero creativity. I was expecting a real war, but I don't expect anything from this game anymore.

^^^^^^^^^^ What he said goes for me as well.

Why is looting bosses so inconsistent in the siege camps? I just did a siege camp solo until 50% of final boss when two other people joined. Wasn’t able to loot the final boss that took around 6 minutes to kill because that is a lot of health with the ability to one shot?

The lack of fragments for the caltrops skill style is also incredibly frustrating. At the beginning of this event I had hopes of it bringing back life into ESO. I fear this lackluster event and poor execution is doing the opposite.

I distinctly recall reporting this bug on the PTS; sad to see it made it onto live regardless. 😮‍💨

I have to agree with Rugby_hook, I am very frustrated with the lack of fragments for the caltrops skill style. I have been doing every camp daily every day and I only have 14 shards. Many days I have recieved zero shards. Yet I receieve 2-5 Haj Mota Hatchling shards a day.

Is sounds like the dailys will be available even after phase 3 is finished in 7 days. Does that mean we will still be able to grind for the rest of the fragments for the caltrops skill style?
