Why the sudden halt on events?

Lyserus

we basically had none stop events since indrik up until the anniversary event, why the sudden halt?

Not saying it's a bad thing, just wonder why (me personally hope they are improving the lackluster firewalker personality)

Malkiv

This happens every year. There's no events between Anniversary and Midyear Mayhem.

The onliest new content you get is the new chapter. They don't want to distract you from buying it.

Anony_Mouse

there is such a thing as Event Fatigue. Its nice to have a break once in a while to just play the game and enjoy it for what it is, instead of it always being some sort of Event

I only just realised there were two new dungeons with the Flames of Ambition DLC. So I have more new stuff to do until Blackwood then I thought.

Besides the jubilee event for some of us is a little bit... mental. I am still tidying up the last bits and bobs from it.

I for one welcome the 'event lull' that follows.

I finally finished selling all my motifs from the last event. I'm not complaining as it netted me around 5mil😁😁

Blackwood.

It's a nice break

Chapter crunch...

Sick of events. Anyway we've just had 3 in a row - triumvirate, jesters and anniversary.
Midyear mayhem coming in a few weeks plus new dlc chapter

Silaf

Way way too many events. And we still don't have a way to get past evens items. Real life sadly prevented me to partecipate in the dragon rise one. Please zos add it to the crown store.

I have to agree, as fun as some are, there's too many events. I realize that some events like Midyear Mayhem, New Life Festival, Jester's and October's Witch Festival should stay permeate. Could we please have new quests for Jester's Fest, after 5+ years I'm tired of running that pig around. Maybe ESO should rotating the anniversary events in and out. This year do Wrothgar, Gold Coast and CWC, next year do Summerset, Thieves Guild and something else. It would make the events more special than just some more dailies to grind for 7 to 10 days.

There was new events for the Jester's festival this year.

Fennwitty

If there was another event following Jubilee, I would have had to take a break from this game and play something else.

In ESO the most special Event is, when there is no Event.

furiouslog

The real special event is the friends we make along the way!

Yes. Coming off of the events from Fall through Winter, I always find myself trying to figure out what I was doing before Witches Festival and the following events tossed everything around.

Exactly. I just heave a great sigh of relief this time of year....

You just named DLC areas that can't be accessed without purchasing them, or subbing to ESO+, which would leave all the new players out who haven't bought them all in a big lump for an extra chunk of cash or sub, as well as old players who only
play/want the base game.

Events are probably located as such to entice newbs with a free week to get sucked into the vortex.

I was thinking about that last night. So what is the next event "besides new chapters". I'm saving all my master writs for the extra experience.

Keep in mind that should you collect a mass of masterwrits for a bonus XP event - the XP is great as long as you have enlightenment, but drops to a disappointing level quickly, so you might want to consider a scroll on one toon to turn master writs in with the bonus event XP to make up for the enlightenment after it's gone. Then just use that same toon only for masterwrits until you run out of them to get the most bang for the XP/buck.

I'm not trying to 'teach you something you don't know', but reminding anyone who might skip that plan as inconsequential.

Midyear Mayhem, which will give double AP, not double XP.

Sturmfaenger

I'm happy to have an event break right now. Jesters directly followed by ESO birthday is a marathon (yes one does not have to, but... loot^^)

Very soon, there will be an event overload.

On the PTS they are testing events that combine previous events. Right now for example, they are planning a 'Year One Event' that includes Craglorn, Imperial City, and Orsinium.

We had TG & DB events joined together for years.
The Tribunal Celebration Event was MW & CWC.
The Pan-Elsweyr Celebration event will include Northern and Southern Elsweyr (tested on the PTR).
The naming of 'Year One Event' suggests they could do 'Year X Event', 'Year Z Event', etc.
(Possibly Western Skyrim and the Reach; Summerset and Murkmire?)

So that seems to be the way going forward. Merged events, which is good for variety and even good for people who don't have all DLCs - instead of missing out entire events dedicated to a single DLC, they can still get 1 Ticket out of 2 for example.

I think the next Double XP event would be Witches Festival.

New Life
Jesters
Anniversary
Witches Fest

They had an Explorer's event last year that had double XP but I don't know if they will repeat it, and even so that was in Nov.

So at best, if previous event schedules are consistent, the next XP event will be in October.

I too am saving all Master Writs I receive until then to get double XP from them. Also buying any non-jewelry writs I find for 2K or less. I expect to have a full bank of writs to do once the Witches fest hits.

Hapexamendios

I'm glad for the break myself.

Tigertron

They were testing the Elsweyr even on PTS and the note mentioned the anniversary which is May 20th. So maybe very soon?

If anything, there were far too many events recently, sometimes even overlapping. Events are meant to happen once every couple months, not several times per month. It's just too much and inflates the economy.

There have been plenty of events that have required you to be a subscriber/own the chapter or dlc that have not lined up with free weeks/eso plus trials.

wenchmore420b14_ESO

I agree that the break is good. A couple years ago when they were doing them back to back to back made me actually play less.

BUT, they have a new event on the horizon, "The Year One Celebration".

No date but here is the PTS notes about it.
Huzzah!!

Year One Celebration
Return to Orsinium! And Craglorn! And the Imperial City! Celebrate all the content we released in our first year or so of ESO in the Year One Celebration, which combines Orsinium, Craglorn, and the Imperial City in one great big bonanza, available for testing this week on the PTS.
As with other zone celebrations, you can earn Year One Coffers by completing activities in any of the listed zones, which include slaying bosses, looting objects, or completing daily quests.
These coffers have chance to drop many returning items from standalone Orsinium or Imperial City Celebrations of the past, including Maelstrom styles and Legion Zero Vigiles styles.
The first daily quest you complete in any one of the three zones instead rewards you a Glorious Year One Coffer, which has a higher chance of the choicest rewards including the new Old Orsinium weapon style pages.
These pages are also available on the Impresario for 5 Event Tickets each.
What's dropping extra stuff? Hold on, let me find this list here...
Daily quests from any of the zones award two boxes instead of one
Resource nodes have a greater yield
All world, dungeon, and delve bosses in the three zones drop extra loot
Tel Var drops from enemies in the Imperial City are doubled
White-Gold Tower and Imperial City Prison bosses drop extra loot
Maelstrom Arena and Dragonstar Arena bosses drop extra loot
Bosses from the Aetherian Archive, Hel Ra Citadel, and Sanctum Ophidia drop extra loot
The Impresario is also carrying the second fragment for the new mount, the Dagonic Quasigriff, for 10 Event Tickets.
