Good let them fix the game. Stop complaining about them trying to make things right. If they launch the vent and it doesnt work, how much more annoyed will you be. People were posting that they'd rather pay for a dlc that fixes the broken things than another dlc that overtaxes the system so let them do their work without being a creep to them about it.

They won't fix anything though...... I bet if this was a pve event where people got double trial drops, or anything like that it would be hell on Earth. But let's cancel the PvP event 6 days before the event and do another pve event instead of it....... There is no reason for this the entire game is running like crap, not just PvP. Load screens in towns/dungeons lag all over the place. It makes zero sense to cancel this event, if they are working on the fix (been 5 years since some of these issues have existed btw) why not just run the event and ignore any bad feedback since you are working on a "fix".

The reason they won't is they are trying to silence players and move on, just look at all the performance threads they close lol. They will say we will fix issues next year so you sub for another year.... Then next year comes and it is "soon"..........

Again if this was a pve event this wouldn't even be a discussion at all just saying....... And if they do go through with canceling this but don't cancel anything else that uses the group finder tool there will be an even bigger problem. (If it's a problem with battlegrounds que why not make it just double ap inside cyrodil only 😉, doesn't take rocket science to figure out a cheap fix).

And btw this was on pts server during elswyr and no bug was reported then..... Way to mislead your PvP community to get a broken necro class and then cancel their only PvP event as a big "reward" for purchasing your dlc...........

Good. The servers wouldn’t be able to handle the event with the current performance issues anyway. Not to mention the fact that the main campaign always fills up with PVEers and people who actually want to play the PvP have to wait for hours in queues.

I'd put money on them fixing absolutely nothing and just cancelling the event so they don't have to get flamed on the forums while it's running.

This is not 'good'. Good would be fixing this issue ages ago.

You mean like buying Elsweyr, and ESO+, and... and...

Kinda like a lot of us have already put money on that for years, and years.

Yes it is good that there won’t be an event that causes a server meltdown. And keep dreaming of a fix cos I doubt it’s coming.

1. Zos just threatened me when a ban and account suspension for typing edited profanity. Wow GG Zenimax Online Studios
2. Everyone saying good that they’re canceling Mid Year Mayhem need to realize that this company had been saying these same lines for YEARS: “where looking into this” or “where working on a fix for that”
3.While still Taking our money
4. The game is arguably more broken now then ever

After all these years my human being self looses any trust in this company.

How exactly does cancelling an event help with fixing the game?

Because businesses do not have a bottomless pit of resources.... they have to prioritise.... is a very simplistic answer.

I see this as a positive step in the right direction....

Thing is. The same people that say stuff like this are the same ones who shoot down suggestions to forego DLCs for performance patches. Who say that the bug team is different from the content team. Boggles the mind.

BomblePants

@Daedric_NB_187 Er.... not sure where you’re coming from cause I haven’t shot down any suggestions of that sort...

Yep and they buried the announcement in another post so nobody sees it.

I'm sure the only possible fix is completely rewriting the game's code. It's not really possible and would take years.

Relax, everyone.

The Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood event is Tuesday, July 2, at 10:00AM EDT to Monday, July 15 at 10:00AM EDT. (https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/56503)

The Midyear Mayhem event in 2018 was Thursday, July 26 at 10:00AM EDT to Monday, August 6 at 10:00AM EDT. (https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/26449)

The events do not overlap. We can have both, just like the April Fool's / Jester Festival in early April and the ZOS / ESO anniversary in early April. They are very close together, if not back-to-back.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_SarahHecker @ZOS_BrianWheeler care to communicate and confirm that the Midyear Mayhem event will return in late July / early-mid August, like previous years?

ZOS has known about the Groupfinder problems for 2 years now. They've known the BG queue problem has been getting worse for more than 6 months.

This was preventable, if ZOS had started working on fixing the problems earlier.

This basically sums up the current situation. ZOS has been aware of these issues for a long time. They have had every opportunity to address these issues sooner, but they didn't.

I'm trying to be optimistic regarding the outcome of these fixes and improvements...but as we've seen from basically every update ZOS releases, they somehow manage to break something. So while I hope they can improve the group finder and performance in general, I'm worried about them breaking something else in the process which will then take another several months years for them to get around to fixing.

fixed that for you

In light of our ongoing work to improve game performance and the Activity Finder, we are holding the Midyear Mayhem event until next year to ensure that the player experience is a good one. In its place, we are moving forward the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood Celebration Event, which will run from July 2 to July 15, and will give players the chance to earn the Event Tickets needed to start the Onyx Indrik mount evolution.

I see others beat me to it. RIP

It is best to cancel it instead of exasperating intolerable conditions . Real pvp players have accepted this place is broke permanently and moved on .

Darkmage1337

Oh of course they say that in a forum comment and not the article itself...

Just give us a crafting event with loot box rewards that contain AP along with PvP gear and we’ll call it even...

that would be cool

What a bummer, Was really looking forward to this event.

Mitrenga

This was expected. I'm also expecting next year's event to be cancelled as well.
Time to move on...

Honestly? It's fine. I'll take a cancelled event if it means they're going to genuinely work on fixing the game. I'm definitely a bit disappointed, but I'd personally prioritize a working game over some extra AP that I really don't need to add to my toppling stack.

Will zos expedite performance fixes if pvp guilds start spamming their aoes in zones other than cyrodiil? Find out next week!

You know what? Maybe you should get a zerg of 12 people together and spam your skills in a trial area. That will really stick it to ZoS!

Those don't work either right now.

Feel bad for everyone who will miss out on this event, best of luck next year. Any way, who is up for some crown store murch to pass the time, got some new hot items up for sale?

Moonsorrow

Sad that my favourite event is not gonna happen..

Yeah, especially bg queue would have been a nightmare, but still.. Cyrodiil would have been plenty of fun outside of primetimes especially when way more people on 24/7 making the late nights and early morning action be awesome, like last times it was on.

Was waiting for that fun again. Oh well.. another day, another dissapointment.

PvP has been broken since the launch. Reaction time for ZoS on fixes for it: 5 YEARS after the launch and few days before the 2019 Pelinal event. They had enough time to plan and execute. Now, they do not even have a proper plan according to Matt's stickied post that includes 100 hidden ifs and 200 hidden buts. Stop calling this nonsense as a good step.

JAwtunes

Good. There is too much lag in cyro anyway. If you're in cyro to just make AP the you're part of the problem.
