Great guide, @VaranisArano! We pinned it for players to reference when Whitestrake's Mayhem starts.

@VaranisArano should probably get an 11th star for getting pinned. Haha

Can we get an explanation as to why sets are missing from the golden vendor?

One thing I will never understand is how for 2 weeks the servers work really well, zerg fights don't get as laggy and you can cast pretty much everything, but the rest of the year its god awful!

There is nothing working well at all. Not even late at night.

PvP players can't really complain about the Qs for IC, they are adding to them by ganking the PvE who have to stay longer in IC to complete the ticket.

Battlegrounds are still not giving truly random queues. 99.9% are Deathmatch.

The Battlegrounds queues won't change back to Solo/Group Random until Update 33 Ascending Tide launches.

Since that hasn't happened yet, we're still using the queue system that gives mostly deathmatches.

Mostly a PVP'r here.
But do wander in to Cyrodiil and Imperial City and meet DEATH so often.

This event- Imperial City - was AWESOME!!! (Cyrodiil was packed...)

I also noticed messages like 'meaningless less death' where 4 or more people kill you. Never noticed that before.

Ran with gangs, got into fight, got killed, killed. It is truly mayhem. But learning a bit more each time! And am liking it!

Lame Noob tips

• If you are not in a group - follow a group. It will be messing and confusing, but you will live long enough to get more of a feel. You might even wrack up a kill or two
• Crouch....hide, sneak!
• Use the building and wrecks to hide behind
• Don't stand still! Keep moving! Get your virtual situational awareness on! Learn the areas you are in!
• Be gracious in death and victory!

Feel free to share your noob experiences. Or to tweak the list above.

Great advice! Though if you are on PC, I think there's some addons that add some humorous "tips" to the death recaps.

I learned that Dark Convergence triggers on Healing Springs and the Siege Shield ability. 🪦

There is 2 options dm and random, people just choose the first one and don't read it

Today I learned the mobs in Cheydinhal sometimes drop free repair kits.

Why doesn’t AD get a town like that?! *sulks*

Anyone got already those Black Drake Body and Face Markings. If yes how many boxes did you farm?

Every single fight I have gotten into these last two days has ended with me being kicked out at the height of battle, losing out on the group I was in. the AP and the EXP. It astounds me in the almost two years I've been gone, how little has changed in the frustration of this event. I figure the game owes me two levels at least

Freezes and game crashes galore, why even have an event that compounds the issues with your antiquated server? The player limit should be shrunk to compensate for the dumpster fire experience. 2022 is the year of the server upgrade apparently, they said it's going to take the greater part of this year to complete per this official post

Ya this game shouldn't be allowed to operate til it actually runs ok. This is a joke

I wasn't even sure they were dropping in boxes.

None so far.

What a well written out guide! @VaranisArano you are such a valued, and may I add, insightful* contributor to these forums! GG to everyone partaking in our beloved MYM event! **also, i think you're going to give @ZOS_GinaBruno a run for her money on forum points total, SOON, hahah.

ZOS_Kevin

Hi All. Just wanted to note that we moved this thread to the events category.

ZOS_Kevin

Just wanted to update that we have unpinned this now that the event is over. Thanks again, @VaranisArano for putting this together and sharing!

You encourage playing and building defensively and get pinned? Seriously? One of the biggest problems with PvP is that people would rather make a damageless build with 40k health (that still dies) than to run a build that can kill other players. In doing so you ruin the best parts of PvP for others and yourself. I get that you’re trying to give helpful advice, but that part shouldn’t be there.
