    I know that frustrates the hell out of me. We can’t even get 1 Event without something else.

    I swear people will complain about anything.

    We dont have enough events...

    We have too many events...

    Sheesh.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    OK, here why there may be some overlap, the Midyear Mayhem event is late this year due to stabilty and performance improvements.

    Well, at least some of the PVE players will get out of the queue, I guess? Sucks to be any PVP player who also likes to PVE in Orsinium though.

    I think they did it to cut down on the pvp population during the mayhem event

    Yo dawg, we heard y'all want events so we put an event inside an event so you can play while you play

    For real, why do these separate limited time events have to overlap? Do they think we have unlimited time to play the game? It's not even game content that makes sense to overlap.

    We need the population as high as possible to try and retain at least 10-15%.

    The game has gone from 7 full servers all day everyday to 1 bar each of only 1 campaign during the day.

    At this rate we won’t even fill one campaign next year.

    That would only make sense if the beginning of the midyear mayhem overlapped, not the end. Player participation in any event is always highest at the beginning and declines as time goes on.

    It's more of the fact that the events overlap. It wouldn't be bad if they overlapped in content but they don't. Plus, Orsinium is suppose to be be a November anniversary. It should be Imperial City this time around. Just going off of their previous anniversary events on DLCs. Will we still get Orsinium anniversary in November still too or?

      That never happened. The overlap is to hide the Cyro stability and performance issues that didn't get improved

      Exactly. We are all aware that the performance improvements with Summerset hindered performance on all platforms, but especially Consoles. We are aware Zos waited to announce Mayhem as a result, specifically stated by GIna. However, it would make sense to delay the second event as a result. If for no other reason than dueling event end and start dates have caused issues beforfe.

      I think the Orsinium event was moved up because of the Q4 DLC release which normally takes place in November. Between the Q3 DLC, the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and the Witches Festival, not much time was left on the calendar for it. I’m not sure why late September or early October weren’t chosen, though. Interference with the Q4 DLC on the PTS, maybe?

      It is a bummer in a way, my main hasnt even really gone to Wrothgar, so this would be great for him. But PVP man, midyear, my time is already crunched lol. Oh well, we will work it out i suppose in the end :)

      ...that would be way too much planning on the part of ZOS. I am not sure they even have a schedule for who is suppose to pick up the donuts every morning.....
