ZOS Community Team on Thanksgiving Break
Hi All! Just wanted to update that the team is now on Thanksgiving Break. With the exception of game breaking issues or the game being down, we will be gone until Dec.1. So please expect some delay in response over the next few days. To everyone who celebrates, have a wonderful Thanksgiving! To those who don't, enjoy the rest of your week!

Hi all, we have escalated this to the team for investigations.
Re: [PS-NA] Solstice & Stirk Fellowship Camp Daily Quest NPCs Have Despawned
Hi all, following up here on the original concern posted about the Golden Pursuit. Golden Pursuits are built to provide rewards with specific activities in mind. This has always been the case. In this case, since the Golden Pursuit is tied with the no longer active Writhing Wall event, the pursuit can no longer be completed.
Since the Writhing Wall event was based on player participation in completing phases, we did not know when the event would end, but we anticipated the latest end date would be Nov.26. However, we have been clear in messaging that the Golden Pursuit was directly connected to the event.
We will note, while we understand some of the confusion here due to the date usage, the Golden Pursuit has also been available for almost a month and a half now, providing ample time to engage with the event and complete the Golden Pursuit. We will take some of the feedback here back to the team as part of our retrospective on the Writhing Wall Event.

Re: Community Update – Vengeance Testing & Cyrodiil
These are some good questions. We should be able to get detailed answers to these next week. Some folks have already taken off for the Thanksgiving holiday, and we would like to check in with them before giving proper answers. But we have them noted and will follow up once we get those next week.

Personally I would go for scenario one if the populations allow this, as that would leave grey host for those who enjoy the current PvP style and I would never want anything taken from players. Maybe an option to partly fix performance in current grey host would be to disable everything in that campaign that was disabled during the vengeance tests(vendors/harvest nodes/bank access/build changing/etc), but keep player specific stats/builds only and the minimum of what is needed for PvP itself. So basically keep the PvP and everything needed for PvP(quests/etc), but remove everything else to outside Cyrodiil only. (Maybe remove the delves and dolmens from grey host as well, replace those with an overland boss that grants the AP buff)
Some questions:
-As you stated it seemed like the first test was the most positive amongst players, is this also the vengeance campaign you are leaning towards opening(in the path forward options)?
-Could vengeance potentially support even more than 900 total players? (maybe worth a test, to see how high the numbers can go before the server starts having issues)
-Is scenario 2 only considered due to expecting a massive population drop from grey host and those players going to the vengeance campaign instead if these run alongside eachother?
Really interesting read and really interesting to see what PvP players think about this!
Thanks for the write-up ZOS, as I always love transparancy!

Does this mean Blackreach, No Proc and the Under 50 campaigns would go away?
Re: Community Update – Vengeance Testing & Cyrodiil
I am a bit shocked, that scenario 2 is even communicated, that means its an actual possibility, that you consider to drop all usual campaigns...I am not sure how I feel about that
I'd like to clarify this, then, if that's the concern. With this message, we wanted to be transparent and define what the only options are. It's those two. There are no others - that also does not mean we're considering both. Scenario 2 is not our end goal or what we want for everyone.

Scenario 1 is what we are working toward, in which case Grey Host would remain as it is now. Like noted in the original message, through the Vengeance tests we've done so far, we learned that in order to support our goals - a large-scale PvP zone with mass-scale battles and a much higher population - the abilities, procs, passives, etc. must be lighter versions of the ones that exist in the rest of the game. So we will be applying that to Vengeance, and giving those who prefer the current Grey Host ruleset that option.
