Why is Vengeance still up/active on consoles?

fizzybeef

I just logged in, because i hoped this nightmare is over but right now (20:11 EU time) vengeance is still up on PS EU.

My friend on PC EU who also just returned after vengeance is done, told me its done for them and GH is back up.

So how are we deserving this extra time of having 0 bars everything and nobody playing ? What are we getting punished for ?

Is it because PS/XBox patch maintenance isn't until 2 more days? PC/Mac patch maintenance was this morning. /shrug

Any Campaign changes need a maintenance, so ZOS is swapping them with the patch maintenance you have on wednesday to prevent having two maintenances in one week.

But midyear mayhem end doesnt need a maintenance either ? Just the inplement of the campaign

Agree it's probably to avoid complaints about multiple maintenances in a short time period on console, but sounds like more poor communication from zos.

Mayhem campaigns also require maintenance to activate or deactivate them.

I agree for activating, but deactivating in not to sure.
Back then when you had to actively take the buff to get 2x ap we kept reminding each other to refresh it 5 min before the event ended, so we can get an extra hour of double ap.

This wouldnt of been possible with a maintenance.

But i see why its probably different with vengeance because vengeance has these UI adjustments (red sky etc).

I just seen this, guess case closed

Well well 💀

Whats on the eso website is wrong and we have to get our informations of some side thread in a forum, where only like 1% of the playerbase is probably registred.

Imagine leaving it up on the platforms it's not popular on and has already killed the PvP population of for two days longer than originally stated.

No clue what is going on lately but the direction this game takes is no funy anymore.

You're mixing different things. Mayhem, the event itself is just about adding a box to quests, double AP, XP, and Tel Var that can be turned on and off whenever they want. Just remember the BG events that're up for the weekend; no maintenance is needed beforehand. On the other hand, activating Mayhem's extra campaigns can't be done without maintenance, and at the end, the event is already over, but those campaigns are still up until the next maintenance.
