Guys, if you haven't figured out that you can gather a couple friends from different factions and then go to some far corner of cyrodiil

First of all, you have to get into Cyrodiil, you and all that friends

On PC ZOS appears to have opened a new campaign for this event. There are not enough pvpers to fill 4 campaigns and I doubt this event will change that. You conveniently did not quote me saying to enter an underpopulated campaign. Currently at the beginning of prime time, there is extremely low pop in Xarxes, and I suspect the queue for the non vivec campaigns is < 30

Not sure what's now, but when I logged off hour or two ago, all campaigns were full.
New campaign, of course, was good. It was not filled to max... for half an hour? Maybe a bit longer. Queues were long not only for Vivec.

I was lucky myself, I was 4(!!!) in queue, when decided to go to Cyrodiil (nearly the beginning of event), and I didn't had lags and any problems at all, even received 10 kills, but it really was luck, comparing to what others had.

Is it possible to grind through duels? I know the boxes can't be obtained via duals but maybe kills can?

No.

This requirement is so stupid it's brain damaged. After holding my nose I took my tank into Mayhem and tagged along with a guild for an hour or so. Lots of fighting and what have you but at the end of it 0 killing blows.

if pve healers and tanks can get it in day 1, it shouldnt be an issue..

Its not an issue

It was never an issue

It was just pve'ers who have never set foot into pvp overreacting and crying about a problem before the event existed.

They wanted it to be an achievement you had to work for. 50 assists is just 1-3 zerg fights.
Siege weapons, execute, damage ultimate are nice.

Well achievements arr usually collected on a main character. its unfair to the tanks and healers.

I think some subtleties are being missed here.

It shouldn't be easy. It shouldn't be hard.

It should be reasonable.

KB's with oils/siege kind of takes away from (my percieved) value of the requirement. It shouldn't be about trading kills just to get the counter to advance. Either of these becomes the equivalent to throwing flower petals on 50 random heads - it holds little value, it's just something that has to be done to earn the achieve.

And, yes, while 50 in a week even on non-primary DPS characters is obtainable in a week, if you intend to do it on multiple characters with minimal playtime available, it becomes more restrictive very quickly.

Yes, it's a silly achievement from a silly event that rewards a dye(?) and a silly title. I just think it would be more worthwhile if it had more value to it.

It's as balanced as anything ever is with ZoS. Do one of this thing, one of that thing, and many of this other thing. They could have offered multiple options, with appropriate tiers of difficulty, for the various builds/roles, etc.

50 KB ~ 1000 assists ~ 10,000,000 damage (dealt, healed, or tanked). (Random numbers pulled from thin air, but you get the idea.)

The side benefit/idea is to get people to come out of their comfort zone. The current setup will not do that. New PvP'ers are probably not going to have a defined build and gear in 10 days' time, and this will not encourage them to return.

You can hate PvP. You can hate PvE. I would think each would still want their player base to grow?

If you're gonna take the time and trouble to make an event, take the time and trouble to make it worth something.

With the population being continually locked shouldn't be terrible over the length of the event, my suggestion is don't try for it and just fight normally. My experience has been when you get too locked in on one thing in pvp you die a lot! I do not suggest chasing one guy through a 40 man Zerg by yourself just because he was the first person you attacked:)

Im already at 32 after a few hours of playing, stop complaining its not hard.

I'm a little confused what the problem is here. 50 killing blows is pretty much child's play no matter what class you're on, and when you account for a large influx of non-PvPers it becomes even easier. If it was just 50 kill contributions people would just roll with a zerg and get the achievement in 10 seconds.

Of course it will be easier when a lot of non-PvPers will be there.
For PvPers.
And if you are one of those non-PvPers? Who didn't PvP before and will not PvP after, but wants achievements/something that those achievements give? That sounds not so easy.

For me this event sounds like a lot of suffering. Not because doing something unusual for me, that's not a problem, but because it would be really hard and absolutely not fun. And, yes, that's something not right with my build, because it is not for PvP and killstealing. Damn, that's even not some normal build, but it's enough for quests, exploring and doing public dungeons solo, and usually I don't need and want more. And changing absolutely everything, from skills and attributes to armor, for only some days and never again... that would be stupid and I don't have money enough to waste like this. PvE events could take some time, but they were not difficult both for PvE and PvP players. Not very interesting, maybe, but not difficult. And this event...

Dude, I'm the worst pvper in the game, I got 30 kills in about an hour, 200k a and about 15 boxes or so. Get into big scrum and fire off any dps abilities. You'll get those kills in no time. The hardest part of this festival so far, is staying connected to the servers.

So I have dialed it back and edited the OP, thinking 5000 kill contributions would've been more in the spirit of what the event is trying to do than 50 last hits.

Yeah, while the killing blow achievement is really not that bad, a mass kill participation achievement seems like it would be more mayhem-esque.

PvErs going against PvErs, there should be no problem getting the 50 kills

I haven't PVPed at all outside of running some Battlegrounds since Morrowind launched, and I barely PVPed for Homestead, and I still got my achievement after 5ish hours (of which an hour was probably spent crashing... ehe).

You just have to be able to quickly shift your focus to someone whose health is running low, or as many other people have mentioned, get on those oils. Oils are bae.

I think 10 days to get 50 kills is reasonable.

Don't be a tank in pvp
