Dev events idea.

Castagere

Man i was just thinking about dev events in a game called Firefall. Would anyone like to see a main city hub invaded by Daedra? Since the game is level scaled it would really be something to see. Guards and players stopping an invasion in a city. Just something i was thinking about. Heck have a doleman drop in the middle of a city. The lag would be terrible i guess. But man it sure was fun in Firefall.

Too Oblivion for ESO's fanciness

I'd really love to see the devs manage some fun activities, such as horse races or dueling tournaments in which you win valuable prizes.Maybe even a fashion show

I think it would do a lot to improve player/company relations.

The games I have played where Devs do such things always seem to benefit from it, at least for a while. But then any relationship has to be worked at constantly.

Only 1 problem. The server would crash with so many people in one area.

Yeah, that one didn't go too well... hope next year there'll be three tents, one for each alliance...

The daedra thing is way too similar to dolmen anyhow, and those at least are away from all the people who just want to craft, dye their costumes or turn in their quests.

But rejoice, you can always go fight daera in imperial city if you like... and around dolmen... and in dungeons... and so on.

Also, there will be more festivals, I would think they most likely will have one somewhen around every of the four great seasonal holiday occasions I expect... but time will tell.

Imperial City is already invaded by Daedra.

Go there.

This is quite a good idea tbh. Something has to be done with the lag, but out of this, that would be really a great event. It could be done instanced btw. A horde of daedric invaders attack a city for a week long, and you should have to make it free, at least weaken the horde as much you can. With some leaderboard positions after the event, with rewards.

Surely that would be good for those, who played the most in the event, but why don't reward the most enthusiastic time-sinkers?

In another game...
I miss Stiches. Once we (level 50's at the time) trained him up to the small town outside Stormwind. We then backed off as a huge mob of level 5 - 15's rallied and attacked stiches over and over trying to take him out. Took them about a half hour. it was dead noobs everywhere lol. A Moderater popped in and watched laughing her butt off. She had no problem with it.

I miss that type of fun.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Now that 1-Tam is here and everyone is leveled. Can you bring up the specter of a "Patrolling" World Boss in the future. Or untether one of the existing ones? Would be epic... All the WB's now just sit there...

Yeah add new patrolling ones that only spawn every so often (rare like one boss for the whole megaserver per week) with unique versions for various zones. Add achievements for each and a final achievement with a minor collectable for defeating all of them.

Many guilds hold tournaments/races/shows/lotteries/etc. Look carefully.

In Firefall you could be crafting in the main city but all of a sudden a warning would alert everyone in the city. It would be amazing to see Daggerfall have daedra swarming through its gates as the town crier shouts out a warning. Maybe it could be instanced like someone else said. Having to fight from gate to gate in the city.

I would like to see 1 month long event where all argonian characters must hide, and if dunmers find them, these argonians must worship them and be their slaves for the whole event time.
