Mayhem Pursuits: Which ones did/will you skip?

Renato90085 · February 24

all cyrodiil quests and duel

WaywardArgonian · February 24

I skipped all of the town quests since I did all of those years ago and I'd wager they won't be too comfortable since it's pure ganker bait at the moment. Also didn't do the ticket one since I already got to 15 before I was able to gather 10 tickets.

ApoAlaia · February 24

I only skipped the 'deal x damage with siege weapons'.

Was nice when pelting NPCs in Cyro with meatbags counted towards such activities, not so much since they changed it. I was 3M AP up on my main and that bar was still only like 40% full.

The rest, well, they filled in my various accounts one way or another and I'm now done.

Thoriorz · February 24

I skip everything, I'm absolutely not a “pvp guy” at all and the rewards don't motivate me to experience the pain in pvp stuff, that's why I don't engage in the current GP.

LunaFlora · February 24

Kill 10 players in Cyrodiil.
Kill 50 players in Cyrodiil.

the 10 player pursuit might get finished while i do other pursuits but it's not a goal.
The other pursuits are fine, i have finished 11 pursuits already and most others are in progress.

Jaimeh · February 24

I skipped the dueling and two of the town ones, iirc.

Tandor · February 24

I haven't touched it. I've no interest in PvP in this game.

Very few will be able to skip ALL OF THEM because the first one is to "Complete 15 Quests".

While strictly true, that's semantics isn't it? I have been credited with 4 quests out of 15 simply by doing some PvE quests and/or Endeavour writs, but that's totally unintentional from the Pursuits point of view and hasn't given me any PvP rewards which would be of no use to me anyway.

cyclonus11 · February 24

Not completely sure yet! I was going to skip one or two of the 5 town quests ones, but I found a server where my faction had the entire map, so I went ahead and did all of those (pretty quickly).

I know I won't do the dueling or BG ones. The last one will either be the 7 patrolling horrors or the 500 IC kills, but that will depend on which one I get done first.

Juomuuri · February 24

I'm skipping all the ones I can't do in BGs/PvE, so I won't be getting the final reward. I don't care much as I don't like the mining animation, it looks super clunky.

Arizona_Steve · February 24

Probably easier to say what I will get done rather than what I won't. The 15 quests is a given, and the event tickets. But that's about it for me.

Keep in mind that the "kill 500 foes in imperial city" pursuit also includes npcs, so it's actually quite easy to do over the duration of the event. It can easily be done in the sewers around each alliance base.

Unless you're being stalked by gankers, of course, as I was.

I found it faster above ground. Just join one of the groups going around doing these. There is safety in numbers and it goes much faster, too.

coop500 · February 24

I did 15 of them by accident lol, so I'm done with them actually.

I skipped the killing 50 players in Cryo, the patrolling Horrors one, the BG one, the siege damage one, and uhh... That might be it actually.

Belegnole · February 24

Personally I think the prizes are lame. But, as a PvP player I completed many of them without paying attention to them.

AScarlato · February 24

Most of them. I find the reward a bit immersion breaking so I don't really want it this time. I also do not really do PvP outside BGs, so anything I am not getting naturally I'm skipping.

Also just getting 2 Tickets a day as I don't want to spend time doing things I don't enjoy for a 3rd.

Veinblood1965 · February 24

I did them i skipped the horrors and imp city kills. The sad thing is the reward is a Mini Siege Mining custom action which only YOU can see. It somehow takes away from it that nobody else can see you using it.

If I use it, it will be for my own amusement. I don't care if others know I have it or not.

freespirit · February 24

@ApoAlaia, I did the siege weapon damage one with a meatbag on a resource flag..... it worked absolutely fine.

I also thought it had been changed but apparently not!

what really take away from it is that it's a thing for a PVE activity not even something to use in PVP like a mount, I think it is strange to give a reward that is PVP skinned for an activity which is PVE like gathering it makes no sense

SatanicSister · February 24

I finished my 15 tasks yesterday. As of today, I have done 16 tasks, perhaps I'll try to finish up horrors too (gotten 4 out of 7). I will not be doing 5 BG-s nor 10 duels.

Though I'm not really into PVP (or into any sort of competitive gaming tbh), I've had tons of fun so far and I will be taking part in the event until it lasts (if I do have time for it).

whitecrow · February 24

I may complete 15 quests incidentally but I am not actively participating in the event. The customized action is cute, I guess, but not for me.

All of them. That gathering emote is ok but not worth all that to me. Maybe if others could see it, sure would be more interesting if we could see others custom actions tbh but since all we see is them standing there at the node, what's the point? We can see the custom teleportation, which is nice because it makes things more lively with everyone not all being the same.

Others can't see our actions?

Enemy-of-Coldharbour · February 24

Kill 10 in Cyrodiil
Kill 50 in Cyrodill
Deal 800000 damage in Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil or Imperial City
Siege weapon damage

For a PVP event, I completed the required 15 pursuits without ever killing another player.

You can gather in PvP.

yeah I'm aware. You can gather in PVP ZONE, not in PVP itself

it's still a pve activity

Gathering isn't part of fighting PvE enemies, just like it's not part of fighting other players.

Gathering is an activity that can be done anywhere there are resources to gather, by any type of player. It is not just a PvE activity.

Vulsahdaal · February 24

I did them all except 2 battleground ones, not my thing. IC is okay, I just have to be in the mood and on my nightblade, I wouldn’t bring anything else in there. Fight fire with fire, right? Finished the IC ones today.

Cyro stuff is just another day for me. Been PvPing there for years now and love it. I pretty much got all those right away, but I had to switch character and campaign to do the Vlas quests as my faction rarely gets over that way.

But as far as battlegrounds, my first venture into it was the last weekend of the three teams. It was all deathmatch, so I figured, well it cant be much different than a small skirmish in Cyro. Well, I got that wrong. I tried a few more matches, but in the end I realized it just wasnt for me, so Im glad it was limited to just 2 of the choices.

But the others were a lot of fun. I always enjoy Mayhem, but adding the golden pursuits just made it all the more fun

It's a PvPvE activity when done in a PvP zone. It's not always safe to gather in PvP zone, which is different from a PvE zone. For the increased risk, you can very rarely find a torte recipe. Tortes are worth a lot of coin.
