Why are all the weekly endeavors Group or PVP related?

Kendric5

I don't do either so that excludes me!

Tandor

They were if I remember rightly last week, but they aren't this week. It's not often that they are.

This week you can steal (solo) or kill 250 npc enemies with weapon skills (solo, you can do the crabs in fungal grotto for example). I'd even say you can do the pvp damage without group, choose a campaign with low population, bang some walls without bringing them under 50% (so no other players come looking) and you're good.

Last week... yeees lets say if you have High Isle it was also easy solo with the 20 bosses, because there is event. No need for group.^^

KingArthasMenethil

it's all soloable.
Siege weapon damage? Take a Meatbag catapult and go attack some flag guards you don't need any one with you.
Pickpicket? Don't know how you would group pickpocket.
250 enemies with weapon abilities? Soloable you also have seven days so you can pace yourself if you really want to

The siege damage endeavors I log in with a Daggerfall character then go to the fishing village to the west of Chorrel. You can find several NPCs there. Set up your siege across the river from them and you get the endeavor really quick. Probably other places in Cyrodiil you can pop NPCs away from where the PvP takes place.

THe twenty world bosses was easy even without visiting High Isle. Many of the world bosses near Wayshrines had other players camping to finish the endeavor.

If i recall the siege damage one goes quick if you just hit the guards at a resource. They stay still so you're hitting 4 dudes who won't die to just your catapult and in around 7 shots the weekly will be done. 1 or 2 shots for the daily version.

Yeah that works also. You have a bigger risk of an enemy player stumbling across you though. I never see another player when I hit the fishing village.

TaSheen

Last week one was dig up 80 antiquities, and I think the week before that one was harvest 80 resource nodes.

Kahnak

Yeah, I don't think anyone knows what you're talking about.

opalcity

This week? Two endeavours are pve. One takes place in a PVP zone, but as has been explained, you can do it easily without fighting another player.

Last week was more aimed towards group work because of the event. However, there are a number of World bosses who are soloable, so all you had to do was three a day.

On the whole, there are more PVE endeavours than PVP - PVP weeklies only accounted for about 26% of weekly endeavours in the past year.

I_killed_Vivec

Last week I did 20 world bosses - don't think I soloed many, most places people were queueing up to do them.

An MMO giving rewards for participating in group activities? Strange times indeed...

Current Week (week 40)

**Deal 600000 Damage with Siege Weapons** (225 Seals of Endeavor)
**Kill 250 Foes with Weapon Abilities** (225 Seals of Endeavor)
**Pickpocket 100 Items** (225 Seals of Endeavor)

Last Week (week 39)
**Complete 3 Trials** (240 Seals of Endeavor)
**Defeat 7 Patrolling Horrors in the Imperial City Districts** (240 Seals of Endeavor)
**Kill 20 Group Bosses** (240 Seals of Endeavor)

Week 38
**Complete 2 Arenas** (215 Seals of Endeavor)
**Complete 6 Battleground Matches** (215 Seals of Endeavor)
**Harvest 80 Resources from the World** (215 Seals of Endeavor)


Week 37
**Complete 5 Public Dungeon Group Events** (220 Seals of Endeavor)
**Earn 1500 Tel Var Stones Through Kills and Rewards** (220 Seals of Endeavor)
**Kill 250 Foes with Class Abilities** (220 Seals of Endeavor)

So this is the last month of Weekly Endeavors. This week 2/3rds of the endeavors are solo tasks. But, last week was all "group"or pvp oriented if the player in question is unable to solo world bosses and couldn't find help, for whatever reason.

Anyway let's take a look at how they spread out group, solo, and PvP endeavors.

Solo Endeavors
Kill 250 Foes with weapon abilities
Pickpocket 100 items
2 Arenas (normal solo arenas exist, skill dependent)
Harvest 80 resources
20 World Bosses (skill, companion, event, and player proximity dependent)
Kill 250 foes with class abilities
5 public dungeon group events(skill, companion, event, And player proximity dependent).


PvP
Deal 600k damage with Siege Weapons
7 patrolling horrors
6 Battleground Matches
1500 Tel-Var

Group Endeavors
3 Trials
20 World bosses
2 Arenas
5 public dungeon group events

I would say this is a pretty good spread of solo, pvp, and group content. I especially think that since 3 of the 4 group content weeklies this month are very much soloable by many players.

Thank you for this!, got mine done doing just as you described

Bouldercleave

OP - You ARE aware that endeavors are not mandatory and nothing bad will befall you or your character if you skip a week, right?

If someone doesn't have a Dagger fall character, this works on all NPCs in the zone. Go to a point of interest, ruin, etc near a keep owned by whichever alliance you're in that's not visitable by Transitus shrine (so not like Cropsford) and you'll be unlikely to run into enemy players and can get your siege kills with low (but never zero) chance of being killed by a player.

ArielSira

I usually take a siege to a Volendrung spawn site near home base and lob some pain on the golden saints there.

Hapexamendios

2 weeks ago none were group based.

Last week only one was group based. You don't have to be grouped to kill Patrolling Horrors or Group Bosses. The only one that required a group was trials.

This week they all can be done solo.

I don't see the trend you're referring to.

Kendric5

Ok so today some of the weekly endeavors are not group based or PVP based. Last two that I looked are were PVP or group dungeon.

Today the weekly endeavors must have changed.

I don't PVP except to level a new character through level 8 or 9 in the under 50. I suck at PVP because I don't have the resources or interest in making a character and gather items to PVP.

PVP is just to unbalanced in this game and not worth it!

There aren't that many pvp endeavours, and even then you have quests like doing town quests, gathering tel var stones, repairing keeps etc which can be done without encountering other players - friend or foe.

Quackery

The pvp one is really easy. Just go into Blackreach campaign, use a fire ballista on the guards at a resource and it'll unlock. Takes about 2-3 minutes

Kendric5

Again the weekly endeavors are PVP or group related.

One for group bosses

One for quest in Cyrodiil

One for group dungeons

No solo.

Omigosh, you use siege equipment to blast the Black Dagger Bandits?!? You monster! I'll have to try that.

The group bosses and dungeon ones fittingly line up with the current event.

Also, neither of those are inherently group necessary. FG1 and plenty of world bosses can be soloed just fine.

… by some people.

Just because something is easy for you it does not mean other people, or even the general player base is capable of doing it.

WB’s and dungeons were intended to be done as a group in any case. They are group content.

2 of them give people tickets in the background for doing the event, 1 is for PvP players or anyone else not into a PvE event. Go to a boss by a wayshrine alone, and you'll probably find other people also working on them.

SammyKhajit

Yes it is annoying but easier to do during an event that encourages grouping.

This one parks himself at those world bosses who are located close by the wayshrine. High Isle is still well populated so if you have the chapter, do a world boss is quite straightforward with other players (and build rapport with Isobel but make sure she’s there when you turn in the quest!).

Alternatively, queue up for Fungal Grotto I and when you are in, say a quick hi (or Sammy does anyway) and then run run run to the final boss and then kill kill kill. Not fun but it’s done in a jiffy. Otherwise, Spindleclutch I + Isobel or Bastian as tank will be a good solo option.

To give me a break from doing weekly endeavors.

There is literally an event going on right now that prioritizes world bosses. If a player cannot find a world boss in the game right now that doesn't have 5+ people at it, they have more problems than completing a relatively easy set of endeavors.

Not to mention, as someone else pointed out, the "PVP" oriented endeavor can be done without even leaving your home gates in cyrodil. Just go to one of the saints locations and fire a ballista. Takes all of 5 minutes to do, load times and travel times and all.

Who cares? find a group boss and stand by it. Easy. I forget most players now want to log in and just have everything handed to them but geez

Dangranma_Burgrukgad

There are so many group bosses you can do solo as a semi decent player, try Dire Bamblepatch in Deshaan for example

The quests in Chorrol has nothing to do with PvP, you just need to go to a campaign where the zone is in your alliance hands and the risk of meeting an enemy is extremely low.

And please guys stop calling those endeavors "PvP endeavors", no pvper is interested in doing 7 boring fetch or kill some npc quest just becasue they are in a pvp zone.
