Mayhem Pursuits: Which ones did/will you skip?

Onomos

I got 5 for the AP reward. The Tel Var would be nice but I have a decent amount banked. The custom action is neat but not worth spending more time doing PvP than I have to. I'll probably end with 8 or 9.

@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!

Oh, good catch, thank you. Not sure how I got it in my head that it didn't work anymore...

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

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

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.

it's a peaceful activity and don't directly harm another player, it's PVE plain and simple

That many aren't actually interested in it doesn't change that farming is Cyrodiil is specifically designed to create the chance for player fights. PvPvE is when you combine a PvP activity and a PvE activity. Imperial City and Farming Resources in Cyrodiil are PvPvE. Anyone who goes into Cyrodiil should be aware of and build for the possibility that they may stumble upon someone else who wants the resource for themselves and will fight them for it.

Missing BG and duels

GingerNorth

I’ve been putting in a lot of time trying to level up, so I was pretty pumped to get into the event this year. Unfortunately, it’s been pretty frustrating. A few players have totally ruined it for me (and others), mostly by taking cheap shots or ganking us when we’re not even in a fight.

I get that PVP is part of the game, and when you’re in a group PVPing, all bets are off—I don’t hold anything against anyone there. But when you’re out solo, just trying to finish a quest or get an achievement, it’s a whole other story. It’s really not cool when someone comes after weaker players just because they can or worse yet, nails you in the back when you're not even engaging in battle, that's just cowardly.

Someone once told me that if you hold still and block, it’s a signal that you’re not engaging… yeah, that doesn’t seem to work. These types of players really are running the events, and it’s made getting that one ticket a day in the Imperial City a nightmare.

Anytime I get to group up with a guild or others, it’s a blast. The Cyrodiil tasks have been fun, I’ve mostly been skipping Battlegrounds, though—I just don’t have the gear to compete.

I’ve been using the event to tick off some achievements and I finally got all the patrolling horrors in the Imperial City, which was great. But I’ve had zero luck getting a trove scamp for days now. Either I can’t even get there without getting hit in the back, or it just won’t spawn. Super frustrating.

Nevermind, I was woken up by my neighbor's stone floor drilling, couldn't sleep, decided to say flip it and went to do Cyro town dailies, siege weapon damage pursuit, 100 foes in IC and 10 duels (thank you random DC dueler who killed me 10 times!). The final reward is okay, I'll see if I'll actually use it... I skipped the kill 10 and 50 players in Cyro, 500 foes in IC and the 7 patrolling horrors. (I started playing at 8 am and had a pleasantly quiet time in Cyro and IC!)

ChaoticWings3

50 cyrodill kills (sometimes can't get a group together at the times I play), 10 duels (not much incentive to do duels during the event), and the battleground matches mostly because ap is faster in cyrodill and tel var is extremely plentiful during this time so wasn't really going to do those.

Jestir

Skipped dueling cause it's the second worst form of PvP, behind ToT PvP of course.

Honestly I have been busy so I haven't been in Cyrodiil to actually PvP very much so I didn't do the kill 50 players or the siege damage tasks

And the kill 500 things in IC barely reached half before I got the last reward

I've never had anyone fight me for a resource in cyrodiil, pvp players don't go there to gather, nobody is looking at you gathering resources in Cyro, they pay attention to fights and keeps and the goal. Not PVE gathering.

JemadarofCaerSalis

I managed to get the mining action, though it was difficult, I couldn't find anyone to group with in either IC (to kill patrolling horrors) or Cyro (for the player kills).

Finally managed to get 10 kills (actually killed a couple myself, though I think it was more luck than anything else :P)

But skipped, the patrolling horrors, the battlegrounds and the higher kill enemy players.

I am intrigued by the ToT one, as I don't mind it, but I hope they don't lean into ranked or PvP matches for it.

Same. I'm not even paying attention to the golden pursuits. If I get something on accident, that's great.

abkam

I'm trying hard to skip them all, but sadly, I have five so far. -.-
Why?
Because this "Customized Action Mining" makes 100% sense for PvP players to use. As a PvE player, I don’t see any reason to use it… But I truly see why they gave this "Customized Action" as a reward in the PvP event... They probably hope no one uses it. We’re living in some really strange times these days.

Dax_Draconis

I was only able to do "Complete 15 Quests".

I was done at 10 on two accounts because ap and telvar are worth playing for. A mining action for pvpers in an area where no one stops to gather is irrelevant.

Tyrobag

I skipped all of the PvP related ones.

I have. I've been killed while fishing long ago. And I also got killed gathering a resource by people on their way to keeps. It is really rare, admittedly. Most of the time I have not been bothered. But it does happen.

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.

So I ended up doing 1 battleground instead.

So the ones I didn't complete:

Kill 500 Foes in Imperial City
Defeat 7 Patrolling Horrors in the Imperial City Districts
Complete 10 Duels
Complete 5 Battleground Matches

As a Non PVP playerI skipped almost all of the Pursuits. That is OK, I will do them next time.

SeaGtGruff

I harvest resource nodes a lot in Cyrodiil, although it depends on what else I'm doing there. If my alliance is outnumbered by the others, I tend to focus more on capturing resources or completing town quests, in which case I don't feel bad stopping to harvest just about every resource node I see. But if my alliance has enough of a presence that we can actually siege keeps and capture them without getting overrun by the enemy, I don't stop to harvest resource nodes.

One time I was riding to a lumbermill to capture it and an enemy spotted me. He was going the other way, toward a keep that his alliance was trying to defend against attack, so I figured he was more interested in getting to the keep to help defend it than he was in me, and I kept riding. About a minute later, as I was almost to the lumbermill, I saw a log of Ruby Ash and decided to harvest it. As soon as I dismounted, the enemy player (who apparently had decided to follow me) ganked me from behind, then casually harvested the log I'd been about to chop, mounted up, and rode off toward the keep. I laughed about it.

RaddlemanNumber7

For the first week I did the minimum effort to get event tickets. Then I saw that I could complete 10 of the pursuits for not much more effort. I skipped the following ones:

Kill 10 Players in Cyrodiil
Kill 50 Players in Cyrodiil
Kill 500 Foes in Imperial City
Earn 100000 Alliance Points
Defeat 7 Patrolling Horrors in the Imperial City Districts
Complete 10 Duels
Complete 1 Battleground Match
Complete 5 Battleground Matches
Deal 800000 Damage in Battlegrounds, Cyrodiil or Imperial City

I've nothing against PvP, just can't do it anymore with my tragically low APM
