    Thanks Brian.

    I wish you guys would do regular Imperial City events like this, IC was so much fun this last week. It's the most fun I've had in IC period, and in the game for a while.

    I expected the event to not be active yesterday, and I think a lot of people did as it seemed pretty empty again compared to last week.

    Fun footage from yesterday. Yes, it was less populated than the rest of the week so it was nice to get a little breathing room. Good fights all.

    Must come as a shock to you, but the game doesnt revolve round you.

    I know plenty of hard core PvPers who have been in IC for ages during this event, so your sweeping statement is over generalised and you do know you can go into other campaigns with your guild ye?

    Am I dreaming? Did I just read "We are extending the double Tel Var and increased drop rates of the scamp and skin until the maintenance early next week! ".

    I checked the date it doesn't look like an old post that someone bumped.

    Yay! More stones!

    The most active I've seen the sewers in a long time and when it's active it is better than cyrodil by a clear mile, you can be far more effective down there in small groups than you can up top.

    Someone has already said it, but this should be a regular thing.

    I've always wanted something like a mount drop to be added to bal to get more people down here, this is an ok alternative.

    The fact that they promised to remove IC pop from counting towards cyro then introduced this joke of an event just shows how out of touch they are with their player base. Keeping pvpers out of cyro over a massive Q because everyone wants to be on the only active NA campaign is a problem, pvpers trying to win a campaign and play vs other guilds wont just magically swap campaigns for the IC crowd. Zenimax needs a solution to this cluster

    I'm not sure I like events. Content should draw players of its own accord and it concerns me when games go down this road. It usually leads toward heavy grinding of content, rather than enjoyable gameplay. I'm sure it does wonders for the numbers when saying 'see our investment in this update was worth it, look how many people have played it' at the meeting with the bosses, but it fails to take into account the sense of ennui people start to feel after they've repetitively played something until it becomes hated. What keeps a mmo fresh is that you can mix things up, not that you keep repeating the same droll action over and over. People can go to work to do that, this is supposed to be fun. While I have enjoyed the improved activity in IC, I have to say I protest the general concept of events in an MMO. They tend to artificially boost the worth of an activity above what the playerbase might really feel it has. This in turn I believe tends to drive down quality in an MMO, and I've seen this happen before on more than one game. Its a bad feedback loop, please reconsider.

    On a positive note, I do think the event has opened some people's eyes to IC.

    Let folks pick up the scamp or skin before you pop. Don't be a ***.

    Remember, one tamriel is coming. You should not feel safe in your separate instances. There will come a time when someone you casually screwed over stumbles on you in your farming spot and decides to disrupt you.

    Some people have been farming molag for the scamp and skin for quite a while. I saw reports of a guy who clocked 800 runs, fruitless. I can only imagine the lasting anger of seeing that rare drop and having some ganker explode before the system has logged it into my account.

    Remember, one tamriel is coming. You will not be alone outside of pvp anymore.

    Well you know that i am a stamina NB running a crafted gear build. Only so much i can do against being mauled by multiple rabid bloodthirsty foes. Especially in this brutal tank meta.
