Tbh, despite how frustrating the event was for me, I'm fine with the length. I only really wanted style pages, and I got most of the ones I wanted. The rest I'm fine with not having.
But they could do double AP weekends from time to time.
That I like. Maybe even do it in the last weekend of the 30 day campaign to force some action. I can get behind double AP without the need to worry about event tickets and what not.
Grinding PvP Cyrodiil for leaderboard is exhausting. You want that to be a longer period?
I don't think any event is designed for you to collect ALL style pages, pets, and skins with event tickets. So make a choice and go for style pages or pets or skins or whatever...
I'm glad it was not extended, or I would be more worn out than I already am. This was the first time I ever participated in a PVP event, and once I got started, I had to take all 13 characters to Cyro for the double AP for the transmute crystals - then create and level 5 more so they could get that double AP also (that double AP is addictive)! I also ran a scouting mission each night to get enough tickets for the pet and the upgrade part. Got a good taste of what it was like to repair 100s of walls, run to keeps under attack while hoping I didn't get killed and sent back home, and follow that big magic hammer around for big AP boosts. So mission accomplished, and I'm tired
Apparently that depends on what you're doing in Cyrodiil, because I experienced very few problems.
I'll say this-- I got disconnected once while in a group that was sieging a keep, and froze up a few other times, but I'm not sure if that was the game, my internet, my OneDrive backups, or something else.
We were having frequent internet problems where our devices would lose Wi-Fi for several minutes, although whatever it was seems to have stabilized.
And I noticed that most of the time when ESO froze up for a bit even though I still had a Wi-Fi connection, my OneDrive would be busy updating files to my backup. The only reason I set up a backup in OneDrive in the first place was so Windows would stop bugging me to. I got so tired of OneDrive hogging my bandwidth whenever it felt like it that I finally changed the settings so it would stop automatically running when I startup Windows.
Since doing that, my intermittent issues in ESO have essentially disappeared. Make of that what you will; I can't say whether there was a connection, so I'm not claiming that there was-- but ESO is definitely running a lot smoother for me now.
