During this morning's PC/Mac maintenance, we pushed the fix for the Pelinavant the Scourge Midyear Mayhem achievement. We also granted free Cyrodiil home and guest campaign reassignments to all players on PC/Mac. The campaign reassignment and achievement fix will roll out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on Wednesday during the scheduled morning maintenance period.

I'm on PC NA, though I can't help but feel bad for PS4/X-Box players. A Wednesday morning maintenance fix gives console players only 4 days to complete the final achievement for this event. FOUR DAYS. I think this warrants an event extension, don't you?

    There is already a thread on this ... why make a new one?

    At any rate, an extension would be welcome.

    Let me get this straight. 4 days to win 1 bg match and you ask for extension!?!?! I must have missed something.

    I performed a forum search and nowhere in several pages of the search were the words "extend" or "extension" in the title of a thread. I've seen it mentioned in the body of threads, but those threads weren't specifically about an extension. Those threads weren't polls as well. I also do not see a thread about this on the front page of General Forum.

    If you'd like to point out where this thread you speak of exists, I will gladly recognize your claim as valid.

    Two weeks is already a very short time to hold an event. Not everyone has the luxury of playing this game every day. Giving console players a larger window than FOUR SPECIFIC DAYS is a nice thing to do.

    Tell that to people who played for the first week, but aren't able to play the last week of the event. Not everyone's schedules consist of: "Play game for 8 hours every day, eat Doritos in three 15 minute breaks."

    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    WTH, is my forum filtered to only view U.S.-created threads in some way? That poll does not exist at all on my General ESO Discussion section, nowhere in the first four pages, even though it clearly says it's in "English" forum. I also cannot find it at all when I use the search function for the word "Extension". It only appeared when I searched the whole phrase "Community Requesting Event Extension". Otherwise, I can only reach that topic by clicking on your link.

    Is there some reason I'm not able to see this poll regularly?

    Edit: Spelling.

    Edit Edit: P.S. I contributed my vote just now to that poll as well.

    I have a full time job and a family to support. If you cant win one Battleground in 4 days, you dont deserve the achievement. Or did you just want it handed to you. No participation trophy for you. Earn it.

    So those whom had the first few days to play get screwed?

    Look ZoS #$_&Ed up pure and simple, the event started with a TON of problems.

    It's ZoS who made it not work and should do something for compensation

    "Deserve", "Earn it". Lols, chill out dude, this isn't obtaining your U.S. citizenship, it's just a videogame. I'm on PC and can get it when I return home tonight. I made this poll for other people. Having a wife and kids has nothing to do with this, I know people who specifically need to be out of town for the second week and were only able to play the first week. They were jipped out of this achievement because ZOS can't run an event without bugs.

    But good job putting yourself into other people's circumstances. I sure hope you practice showing more empathy to this "family" of yours.

    Only reason I mentioned that I have a family is because you came at me in your first reply assuming that I am a basement dweller who sits around eating Doritos and playing games 24/7. Its you who needs to realize that this is just a game and not worth getting all huffy puffy about.

    What if we've already got the win in battlegrounds during the event, surely Zos can just grant the achievement to save having to do the win again.

    Making the statement:

    "Not everyone's schedules consist of: Play game for 8 hours every day, eat Doritos in three 15 minute breaks."

    Does not equal "I think you have no life and eat Doritos". It was just a general statement, not an attack against you personally. I don't even know you random internet person. I didn't even use the phrase basement-dweller, you filled in those gaps all by yourself.

    You should probably stop taking personal offense from strangers on the internet who are likely not even attacking you in the first place.

    Yeah, you see...

    Sometimes people can't play for a week here or there. That's generally why events start midweek and straddle a few weeks. This event was already one of the shorter ones.

    There will be some people with even fuller time jobs than you who did ten times what you did during the time the event was broken, and who can't commit any time during those last four days. There are loads of reasons for that and it doesn't matter what they are. You being in full time employment is irrelevant, but well done. :smile::cookie:

    Yep, see earlier comments. I can't even see your poll discussion in my feed, nor does it appear in a Search, I can only access it via clicking the link. I did afterward vote on your thread as well, thanks.
