Can we get more information on Midyear Mayhem

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Im mainly interested to know how many new campaigns will be opened? Past experience shows that if you guys open too many servers, people will just faction stack on one each.

While i understand the desire of pve players to do daily quests and such, they will likely just get farmed by organised groups anyway. I think only 1 more server should be added, to ensure all the campaigns are filled out nicely.

Check this recent post for info. It does a wonderful job summarizing everything up:

There is no ZOS info here. Also doesnt answer my question about campaigns.

Organized groups can still lose to overwhelming numbers.

Fair enough, my point is usually each temporary campaign gets filled with 1 faction, and the only pvp is usually pvers vs apmfarmers, or 1 faction just caps the map for free ap.
Basically not much pvp going on as people aren't forced to play in the same campaigns.

In past events, its typically been 1 extra No CP campaign and 2 to 3 extra CP campaigns, non-faction locked, depending on demand. However, ZOS has been known to not spin those campaigns up before the demand happens, resulting in the existing campaigns getting absolutely slammed until they can spin them up. Last MYM, they did 3 extra campaigns: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/57605

If you want to play in Cyrodiil right from the beginning, I highly recommend being in the campaign before the event starts.

And I'm not sure on new ones being opened. Oddly this is the second time this year they've done midyear mayhem...though them doing an event called midyear mayhem at the start of the year was sort of odd as well.

Whats wrong with faction stacking?

May I take this opportunity to express my admiration for your optimism but I don't think it will be nearly as good as you're all describing.

Considering this is the one time out of the year where players can actually feel a sense of safety in playing Cyrodiil's PvE content, I don't see the problem. If PvPers are that starved of fights for a couple weeks they can always organize one of their mass 3-ways at one of the Outposts, or just run BGs, but just let the event run its course then all the PvErs will leave the Campaigns again and PvP goes back to usual.

Really what irks me the most is with the veteran PvPers purposefully farming the Quest givers cause they know it's easy AP. I don't see that as them having to resort to that cause actual fights are hard to come by, I see that as them not wanting to fight other PvPers, they want easy targets.
