Yes, I want lore-friendly ES-style holiday content and I want it to happen near our real world holidays due to having more gaming time then.

ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭mmm sweetrolls. But yes I wouldn't mind lore-friendly ES and I'd most certainly rather it happen around real life holidays due to the reasons stated in the poll.... typically that is when most of us have more time to play ESO.1 -

✭Again? Seriously? And it's a poll. Again. You don't like Would you like holiday events added to ESO?, right? I don't want to offend you, but please, can you not create a clones about holidays anymore?Make sweetrolls, not nerfs!7 -

I'm sorry, did this in some way cause you physical injury? I'm aware of the other poll, pretty sure I voted in it. This one, though about the same subject, does have a slightly different slant because I saw this specific issue being addressed in various other places.

✭There are some major Tamrielic holidays that take place near our real world holidays (basically the ones that people generally get time off for anyways), and some that don't. I hope they follow the Tamrielic calendar with this. This game deserves to be unique and true to its roots instead of doing the generic "MMO version of holiday 'X'".1 -
Unknown_poster✭✭✭Scroow that....part of the appeal is not having to deal with some half-baked Halloween themed timed event chase the loot with a couple week break followed by some cheeze Christmas event for two weeks chasing the guar in a red and white cap followed by a couple month break before whatever passes as Easter in their mind. One of the selling points was "We will have no holiday themed events officially in game." Make as many polls as you want, its still not gonna happen.4 -
Rhaegon✭✭"Yes, I want lore-friendly ES-style holiday content and I want it to happen near our real world holidays due to having more gaming time then." Not for the time but days are too fast in the game, so it wouldn't make much sense.1 -

✭✭I must admit that I don't like holiday events that much. They try to pressure people into keeping their sub and logging in just because there is a pet, mount or title to claim.
Events tend to end in a huge grind and I prefer doing stuff voluntary without a ticking clock in my back

✭✭✭✭✭How do you vote if you think sweet rolls should be served on lore-friendly holidays?
You comment here and describe in delicious detail how you want sweetrolls implemented in the holiday content!
Honestly I would LOVE a holiday reward that gave you an "eat sweetroll" animation/emote that would show your character eating a messy sticky sweetroll with evident delight complete with lipsmacking and "Mmmmm!!!!" sounds! lolPAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!0 -
I would love to see holiday content provided it mirrored official cannon Tamerilic holidays.For the night is dark and full of terrors.3 -
Arizona_Willie✭✭✭ESO is not set in this Universe so this Universe's holidays DO NOT APPLY.
I < HATE > the holidays anyway. Can't wait for them to be over.

I think you get the point. I don't object to holidays, just spending delve resources on making them happen in ESO.1 -

✭Majority will ofc vote in favour , they are really popular on pretty much any MMO , the lack of them is just zen laziness , even with the excuse of not adding the RL events , there has been oportunity for tons of lore linked events ingame already.Edited by Nox_Aeterna on October 20, 2014 5:29PM"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

I get a little tired of the, "Don't do this because it isn't as important as X and if you do this then obviously X will never happen....or not as fast as I want X to happen!" There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with players saying what they would like to see in a game and the only people in any position to rate any suggestion's importance are the devs themselves who know what it will take to implement and can balance it against whatever else they already have in the works.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭So 71 votes FOR some sort of holiday content vs 24 votes against. I realize that an incredibly tiny sampling of the player base but I do think it's indicative of the general trend and train of thought among players. So, how 'bout it ZoS? If not this year, next year? If not, why not?PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -

Well Wildstar is the example. I don't think TESO would do better.
+ reading someone saying that ZOS should do it because 71 people would like it " indicative of the general trend" ARE U KIDDING ME ?

Woolenthreads✭✭✭✭I could support holiday events but only if it is inside of the Vet non-Cadwell Zones, because there are story specific "holiday" events in the other zones (in Auridon for instance).Oooh look, lot's of Butterflies! Wait! Butterflies? Get out of here Sheo, stop bugging me!

✭✭My experience of holiday content in MMOs has been almost universally bad. In some games they're so bad I've found that I stop playing during the events and don't return for several months.
It's not holiday / festivals per se that are the problem. It's implementation. But open this door and some will clamour for holiday only achievements etc. and it all goes downhill from there.0 -

Yeah, holiday content that relates to actual holidays is invariably corny.
I don't know that having it relate to no actual holiday would make it better, but I would give it a try.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

The only other MMO I had interest in did reasonably well with Xmas. Eve gave out Snowball Launchers and 100 snowballs, they were great fun. Of course that was over a decade ago.Oooh look, lot's of Butterflies! Wait! Butterflies? Get out of here Sheo, stop bugging me!
