That's exactly correct. The town dailies are incredibly easy and boring quests where the only real challenge comes,from the possi imity of facing other players...and now people want the enemy players to give them a pass?
If you want easy, no-risk content, run the Undaunted daily with peoole who can share the quest. Don't go to Cyrodiil and whine when you face an enemy player.

Apparently for some PvP is a real trial @DieAlteHexe
Why is it obvious they're not geared for PvP? I mean they are in a PvP zone so...

Typically its really easy to tell they were geared for PVE...after they're dead in a couple of hits. Sorry PVE players in PVP, that's the truth. I know who you are because you were super squishy when I killed you. Sorry about that.

- Shor campaign (below level 50: Kyne)
- a.m. 6-10 (especially on weekends)
- avoid roads, keeps, resources
- watch zone chat + map
It works for me very well

Sorry, ZMax, but that (putting PvE objectives) in PvP-land is annoying. If we wanted to "taste" PvP, we would of our own volition.
As someone who enjoys Cyrodiil content,
particularly since they implemented town ownership via flags
Thank you Zenimax for putting these objectives into Cyrodiil

Got 90 boxes from doing crafting writs on all my characters,
then went and enjoyed playing around with an exp buff on my most recent character
best thing to do is get boxes doing what you enjoy,
rather than chase boxes that seem easiest
then complain that it was not as easy as it seemed because the design of the content 'got in the way'
Hope people manage to find ways to enjoy the event either way
Eh, I was speaking in more general terms. The boxes? Don't need to go into Insta-Death Territory. Have plenty of other places to do 'em.
But the achievements etc. that ZMax decided needed to be in IDT...that does irk me.
Why do the achievements irk you exactly?
Personally enjoy that they put achievements in game that reward different playstyles
everyone likes when cheevos pop
Because I don't like PvPing...or better put in my case, being someone else's "content".
I'm glad you enjoy it, and I agree it's a good thing that there is variety but I don't like ZMax trying to "tempt" me to PvP by putting achievements (fishing, etc.) in an area where I would have to learn entirely new methods, gear etc. So, I generally don't bother but I'm thisclose to Master Angler and every stinkin' time I try to get those last few fish, GANK SQUAD arrives.
Are you a strictly solo player then, if you do not like sharing in content with other players?
Or do you only view PvP interactions through that lens?
Err, that's an interesting way to view this. I'm having a bit of difficulty, however, equating being ganked as "sharing". To me sharing involves consent. I suppose that could be considered as a "given" if I set foot in Cyro. As I said before, I don't blame PvPers one bit for PvPing in a PvP zone. ...

I wouldn't enter Cyro if it weren't for that one bloody achievement. I'm not opposed to PvP in general, it's just not for me.

So what are PVPers supposed to do during off-peak hours (especially in less populated campaigns)? Those quests and "PVE" objectives aren't JUST there for PVEers, y'know.
I dunno? Kill each other?
Look, I'm not asking for any changes from players. It's a PvP zone, PvP happens. Think of this as a rather wistful wish that ZMax would change some of the achievements, that's it. Nothing else. Forcing people to do things, especially in a game, usually results in grumpy people. I'm not even really grumpy about it. More resigned to being ganked in order to achieve a couple goals. But I'll be damned if I'll be cheerful about it.

PvPers in PvE vets are so funny.
They always queue up as tank, heal and dd. The first thing they do is yell they want this or that piece of that particular set. Then they run ahead spamming the same skill all the time, doing literally 6K DPS, dying at the first trash group unless power healed.
And finally back to Cyridill, hiding for hours in a desolate place, waiting for a lone PvEr to gank and feel skilled and powerful.
I am absolutely sure that those folks exist. Just like the original poster here exists to defy logic. For me, I live in PVP on one toon and run Trials daily on other toons. The overall point being..if a person wants to run content, whether PVE or PVP they should prepare for the content they are going to run. Failure to prepare on their part should not constitute a change on our parts.
I agree (prepare for the content, it's only sensible) BUT for catching, what, 12 fish or snagging those last skyshards? I think it's a bit much to then need to gear up, possibly respec and learn the ropes for those. I consider the MA goals and (sorta) skyshards etc. to be a design flaw on ZMax's part.
If all you want from the PvP zone is 12 fish and a couple of skyshards, then you don't really need to prepare. Sure, you might die a couple of times but why does that matter? It's not like dying costs you anything bigger than a couple of minutes of your time at worst. Just go back and get your fish. If the place is camped, go make yourself a sandwich or something and come back later. Cyrodiil does not have enough population to have every spot camped 24/7.
I've tried, six times now, to "just go back and get my fish". Hasn't worked out very well. There's two sorcs who really think my feeble goal should not happen, plus assorted other hair-trigger players. I got tired of it and have left it for a couple weeks now. I also am finally maxed on the fishing character in all things mount so when I do get clobbered it's not as much of a hassle getting back to that one fishing node. Anyway after the current event is over, I'll be back at it. I think there are folk who camp the fishing spots. I truly do. No wonder by the time someone comes along they are desperate to clobber something.

So we somewhat meet agreement here
no one can touch me in other zones
and people who pm me bitching about nodes
or who troll-taunt me on world bosses
or do stupid emotes to me in public places
get a quick report, and carry along my way
If that's what you feel the need to do, sure.
in Cyrodiil, only write a 'report' if a player is doing something game breaking
and typically note that it is not my aim to see the player punished,
but the mechanics examined for validity and potential adjustment
Can't comment. Never live long enough to see anything other than death reviews or whatever they're called.
in Cyrodiil, set myself to offline to disable all PMs
people trying to talk to me behind the keyboard concerns me more than someone trying to engage in a shared game mechanic with me
do recognize that my personal social anxiety issues are not necessarily mirrored in others that deal with such tho
Okay? I don't talk much in-game either but I don't disable PMs in case someone needs me or has a reason to talk to me. I can always excuse myself or just log.
Also, have never dueled in PvE zones but like to stop and watch people who do
and only ran battlegrounds during Midyear Mayhem to get my Crown
Sometimes I'll watch over in Alik'r. Some pretty ferocious duels there. Amazing how good some folks are.
battlegrounds stress me out in a manner similar to group PvE --
Cyrodiil allows me to dance and be faceless; Battlegrounds mean my team is expecting me to play a certain way to fill my role
Haven't tried 'em yet, well once but connectivity issues dumped me so can't comment.DieAlteHexe wrote: »...I do blame ZMax for putting non-PvP content in a PvP zone.

Bolded/Italicized is where my comprehension of your position fails
Are you saying that people who enjoy PvE in open world PvP zones should not have been given content?
Uhm, no. I blame ZMax for putting content in a PvP zone that has nothing to do with PvP, or doesn't need to. Not sure where you came up with that?
Cyrodiil is my favourite map; has been since beta
she lives while other zones are stagnant
and the daily quests there have been a point of enjoyment for me -- have leveled a number of characters by doing dailies
tho that was easier before ZOS made Fighter's Guild contracts in Cyrodiil no longer endless
did not even previously realize they were candidates for the boxes, or would have prioritized them yesterday as it is my preferred content
Well, glad you've got a home then. Just not my sort of neighbourhood.
fighting off gankers adds excitement that does not exist in other zones
hence my consenting to deal with them while doing my PvE quest objectives
I don't need excitement or challenge in a game. My RL presents quite enough challenge. I game to relax and indulge in some escapism.
Or are you explicitly upset about the achievement requiring engagement with multiple forms of play that you do not normally like?
That's pretty much it. I cannot think of a reason aside from ZMax "nudging" for (in this example) the fishing to need to be in Cyro. And I only dislike ONE form of play. PvP and even "dislike" is too strong a word. Disinterested is far more apropos.
Am not personally an achievement-oriented player; only bother getting them all on a single character, but do not go too far out of my way to do so
if achievements are one of your central points of enjoyment of the game, can begin to maybe comprehend where your frustration comes in,
even if not being able to personally relate
I'm an explorer, achievement hunter, quester and crafter. Combat is something I don't mind but it is (aside from quests) not even in the top 3 reasons I play MMOs.
gave you an insightful either way,
thank you for taking some time to try and help make your position comprehensible to me

If you are DC on PC/NA, could arrange to come fishing with you
not always the best at PvP, but willing to even the odds a bit + more people at a node increases rare fish spawn still doesn't it?

This would be much less of an issue if Zenimax hadn't killed all of the servers. If they had left some of the other ones up, there would be more options for us to try and complete these in peace.

Since Trammell in uo was created..open world pvp has been dead for the most part because people can't resist killing noobs over and over again and their mounts aND doing it until the person quit.
Now here we are pvpers so hungry to.kill skilless noobs for the lolz of it all then come to the forum begging for more pvp options
If pvp was more inviting to a larger casual player base than it would get more attention in games
In my opini9n pvp should be removed altogether as it is the biggest detriment to the majority of players who do not care about pvp. It only ruins the balance for pvers and takes up precious land and server load that could be used for the majority to enjoy instead of giving an overall whiney minority a voice on how our skill balance should be
