    You get all of the achievements. Spoiler alert, the battleground achievement is currently broken so until that is fixed you can't.

    Yes. Check http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/2017/07/18/test-your-mettle-in-the-midyear-mayhem-pvp-event in the Seize a Crown section. You need each of the (seven?) achieves to get the meta and some of those achieves require DLC.

    Per another thread they are looking into a hot fix for the broken one.

    "As you participate in PvP activities (excluding Duels) during the event, you can earn a new collectible hat: the Midyear Victor's Laurel Wreath. Wear this golden laurel proudly, and let it be known that you are a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield!

    To show off your prowess and style with this unique collectible, unlock the “Star-Made Knight" achievement by completing each of the seven unique Midyear Mayhem event achievements."

    that wording is so unclear. It sounds like the crown and title are earned separately. should be worded as "in order to get the crown" or something similar, not "to show off show off your style with the crown" as if the crown just complements the title

    Someone is very angry, but yeah I understand how he feel. Locking the achievement, title and laurel behind DLC/expansion is a bad move.
    Isn't event meant to be played by everyone? And yet people "enjoyed" the loading screen more than the event itself.

    You don't "need" items or achievements from this event. They are cosmetic bits of code, held on a server that will disappear once this game closes servers in ~10 or so years. Chill out.

    All BG/Morrowind related achievements are behind a 'paywall'.

    All IC related achievements are behing a 'paywall'.

    Any achievements that came with any of the other DLC, and even the achievements in the basegame are behind a 'paywall'.

    Not sure why this is such a surprise or even an issue around here.

    If someone want access to the content and its benefits, they need to buy the content.

    How long do we have to have events tied to the same old base game? You guy's act like they are killing you. Yes you have to have dlc to get the crown and title. Oh wait you didn't buy those? Well that was your decision wasn't it? You can deal with the consequences of your decision like an adult or you can complain like an entitled little kid, either way you aren't getting that title and crown unless you buy the expansion and dlc. That is totally up to you.

    ...and nobody is barred from participating, thus advertised for everyone. Saying "everyone can participate" =/= saying "everyone can earn 100% of rewards regardless of purchased content." The latter was never advertised.

    It's ***, but all mmorpg's do it. ESO is not unique in this regard.

    The event is still available to everyone - nothing is stopping them from taking advantage of the parts of the event they have access to. If one want the benefits that come with IC and Morrowind they need IC and Morrowind.

    Didn't they lock achievements and titles behind every dlc? Orsinium, Imperial city, Thieves guild and Dark Brotherhood all have achievemts locked in there. The base game isn't free either so they areally locked behind a pay wall as well.

    If you strip away all the DLC's, a huge chunk of the game is gone. The events would be very limited, and that's a bad thing.

    What ZoS should do is mate these events up with their free trial periods. People can get their achievements and a taste of the DLC at the same time. It's not like people who don't buy DLCs are suddenly going to buy one simply for an achievement and cosmetic reward. Well, not enough to justify the bad press.

    After re reading the event page, it does have a note stating

    "that some achievements will require the Imperial City DLC game pack and the ESO: Morrowind Chapter to complete."

    it just sucks i guess but ill get over it

    playing devils advocate, would it have hurt anyone to make the collectible obtainable without the dlc achievements while keeping those achievements?

    Not a bad idea, but 2 weeks worth of event, most trial.periods aren't that long. I still don't understand the logic behind getting mad because they didn't buy something so they miss something. Kinda you get what you pay for thing.

    Because Thieve's Guild can be bought with Crown's (most have stockpiled), and I believe that DLC was on sale during said event. There was major uproar when announced Morrowind wasn't Crown purchasable.

    That, and very few items of real endgame value drop from Hew's Bane. Most are for unique, non-meta builds, so nobody cares.

    Most people are what's called a builder personality. Missing out on 2x of something you can get a different way, not a completion issue. Inability to ever complete an achievement as a B2P player? Outrage.

    I get it, even if I don't understand how someone who can afford a computer and internet access can't afford the DLCs.

    First event tied to a new chapter so past doesn't really apply. I see this more as a reward for purchasing the added content than punishment for not having it. Would be a worse move to have a PvP related event and ignore the majority of PvP content.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    You could just play the regular PvP and earn holiday reward boxes, where 98% of the value of this event lives. Otherwise, without the additional content, you are only missing out on a title and hat.
