NOBODY wants an extended Mid-Mayhem Event!

gepe87 · January 2019

Some Dev said that they will not run any Dungeon Finder event till is fixed. Apply the same to pvp please.

DenniMyuu · January 2019

Who's Nobody? I want an extended event duh.

angeleda · January 2019

We want IMPERIAL CITY EVENT EXTENDED! Or make it 4 times a year!

Hamish999 · January 2019

I like PvE and PvP equally. When I do PvP (badly, a couple of times a week) I do it in Shor, get the odd bit of lag now and again, but nothing like gets reported from Vivec.
Last night for instance PC EU Shor had 2 alliances at 2 bars and 1 at 1, at prime time!
So just choose a different campaign for the duration of the event if you get pop locked or laggy.
I'm really looking forward to Midyear Mayhem Extended

I might finally save enough AP to get those damned motifs lol

Jump pvps everyday. Those of you coming in here telling him to switch campaigns need to learn. That's like telling someone who needs to run White Gold Tower to go run Imperial City. How about zos buckling down and fixing the terrible performance issues in Cyrodiil. No more excuses, no more, "we
we're looking into it", just fix it. Until then they should postpone any Cyrodiil events. Period point blank.

It' s like they just don't even get it, Jameliel: "Run another campaign," " I like events." They don't get it.

I don't even need the AP, double Ap? got millions. I like Pvp, i just want to PvP in peace. I deal with the crappy prime time performance anyways. We don't need amid-year encore if performance of the game is as bad as it is They add insult to injury in THE PATCH NOTES by joking about it and NOW an encore? WHY?

O_LYKOS · January 2019

I’ve just come to accept the fact that the game is never going to be fixed. Another “midyear” mayhem won’t really change anything. The game is broke already. The game lags already. I can play now like normal or play whilst getting more ap.

However. I do agree the expansion of the game needs to be put on hold. Fix glitches. Fix bugs. And fix the dam lag. Then work on releasing further dlc.

Celephantsylvius_Bornasfinmo · January 2019

Update your servers then propose mid year mayhem ^^ It's going to be soo laggy.

Tyrion87 · January 2019

Speak for yourself. I prefer PvP events (Mayhem, IC event) much more and find it more entertaining than any of these dull and repetitive PvE events. Even if it means more lag.

Arlia · January 2019

People who have become complacent with how the servers are running and say just "move to another campaign" when the lag is unbearable... you're a part of the problem. Not saying I hate the event, but I can already tell it's going to be a painful one for those of us struggling to bar swap, skills going off 2-3 seconds late, and lagging near keeps with zergs. And no, it's not my internet connection.

With all the PvE events we have throughout the year I find it entertaining someone complains about midyear mayhem. Geez.

It isn't entirely unreasonable considering the servers can barely handle the current pops within PVP. Throw at least 1.5x the pop at the servers, I'm going to be surprised if there isn't outright instance crashes every so often. The simple truth is the servers just cannot handle the event, so why hold it? At the least, why hold it in campaigns which are known to be laggy messes, ie Vivec?

Remember that the PVE events didn't exactly go over flawlessly, either.

So screw PvP as as a result? We see how it is. OP does not like PvP. He pretty much starts off those who "tolerate pvp" deal with this event.

But then again, your viewpoint may be can all events in the game. Then again, idk.

No events is better than Cyrodiil being unplayable. That's the OP's point.

At this point, I don't give a crap about PVP events, PVP DLC, or even balancing in PVP. What I give a crap about is an actually playable game. Server stability is absolutely abysmal. Performance issues are plaguing all active Cyrodiil campaigns, the game is riddled with bugs that adversely affect the game, certain skills are genuinely broken.

Events, DLC, balancing, all that doesn't matter if you can't play the game. Fix the bugs, fix the servers, then worry about the polish.

OMG! YES! THIS!^^^^^^^^^^^^

Jamdarius · January 2019

Personally I would enjoy PvP in cyrodil if there wouldn't be balance issues, lag issues, dc issues, skills not connecting issues.

As of now the current state PvP is just pure b/s and I sure as hell will not have time to create new meta character and grind skyshards so that I can go full heavy armor into BG's ... 2 much effort for meagre kind of fun considering veteran PvP players that go with same group 24/7 into PvP will pretty much wipe my butt every single time when I go with random people...

Actually you might just be as part of the problem, performance in prime time Cyrodil is never going to be fixed, the only solution is splitting the player base in different campaigns to minimize lag, problem is everyone has that mindset of staying in Vivec and Vivec only and thats why many campaigns got removed and now we only have Shor that is dead af unless its weekend prime time. If more people were willing to leave Vivec there would be more populated servers with much less lag.

WeyounTM · January 2019

This one wants this event too....just saying. So the OPs premise is really, really wrong

! And yeah, I do hope that the BG-groupfinder isnt getting stuck on the someone-declined-endless-loop. But maybe doing more of these events can help track down the bugs in the system.
Be it as it may, I would really like more PvP events in general. They can just do some double-AP events on some weekends for all I care. And no, I don't care about my alliance rank at all. Too many toons for that grind ;-)

The truly concerning thing is, your entire comment can be applied to basically anything in the game. People have become complacent when it comes to the general quality of the game. Whether it's server performance, stability, the sheer bugginess of the game, quality of content, competent balancing

If we want things to improve, we need to hold Zenimax accountable. Start a ruckus, like we did with Murkmire. Show them that we will not accept this ***.

But, nah, people'd rather lay back, accept the state of pure mediocrity the game has slipped into, while participating in a pointless grind for a mount that really doesn't do anything.

Daedric_NB_187 · January 2019

Even though I do agree with the premise of why the OP made this thread. I do want the Midyear Mayhem event. Only reason being is to stack my AP and level my character to get to GO. That is IF I can stay logged into Cyrodiil. And to those who say to just switch campaigns? Yeah. That is an option if I didn't care about the scoreboard. Some of us do take pride in trying to win the campaign for our alliance. Especially with right now, the campaign just started a couple of days ago on Xbox NA. You're saying we should just say eff it and abandon that? Hell no. If they would have done the Midyear Event on the day the campaign started, then yes. I can see that. But that could never happen because between the servers, they all start at different times.

And to the people who say just go to Shor. You don't need your CP's you earned. Well. I put this to you. Go into vet dungeons/trials without your CP's since they aren't needed. It's the same dumb logic.

Point blank, the servers need to be fixed. They need to put forth the effort to make Vivec playable. If vet dungeons and trials were as bad as Vivec is, the same people talking down on PvPers would burn down the forums to get it fixed.

So you're saying we should just not play in Vivec because it already has enough players? Come back next time when it's not as populated? Why are we ok with this? I agree with you somewhat, it wouldn't make any sense to keep trying to play in Vivec when it's already at it's limit since it only punishes players (especially light/medium armored players). But clearly there is a glaring problem that needs to be fixed and everyone is acting like it's fine because they can just get by. I just don't understand why so many in this thread are ok with it.

It shouldn't be the players job to fix the game.

sevomd69 · January 2019

My favorite event of the year...gimme those double ap...This last event is my least favorite...doing those quests were liking sticking needles underneath my fingernails and dunking my hand in isopropyl alcohol...

Because they don't want to accept the unfortunate reality that Zenimax really doesn't care about the state of the game, or whether we enjoy our time in the game. They don't want their illusion of all-is-good shattered. They'll defend it tooth and nail, while simultaneously burying their head in the sand and refusing to listen to any of the "toxic people."

Either that, or they truly believe the game is fine in the state it is. If this is the case, the only thing I can tell you guys is, this game could be so. Much. Better. If Zenimax truly cared.

NOBODY WANTS IT!

Go and read all the replies in this thread, come back and apologise for being wrong and admit that you don’t speak for the community.

I can’t. The reasons people are giving for wanting an extended PvP event aren’t “I want an extended event because I like PvP.”

In that, I will admit that people might just n fact want an extended PvP event. Maybe they play for rewards. Maybe they want to evolve that mount. Maybe they Zerg and pvdoor and won’t notice the difference pvping on a dead campaign.

However, the only reason I still login to this game is because I LIKE the PvP. I WILL notice the difference. I DID NOT enjoy The Mid-Year Event because it made the only thing good (to me) even crappier than it is NORMALLY.

I didn’t do New Life and I don’t intend to do another event ever again. I just want to PvP in peace. Fix the servers. Geeze.

I want an extended PvP event because i like PvP there you go.

I don't like zergs, i don't like lag. Hence i don't tend to play prime time Vivec.

Event means Shor / Sotha has some pop and it will have enjoyable PvP. A couple of decent guilds switching to a low pop server and going at each other can be ace.

I think you are seeing it all wrong, adapt and you can enjoy. And personally out of event zerging at prime time just isn't fun...

agegarton · January 2019

Actually, I want an extended pvp event.

Aetherderius · January 2019

I do.

Loralai_907 · January 2019

I distinctly remember after the last PvP event that lots of people were talking about how much they wanted more PvP events, even random weekends here and there throughout the year.

I think mym is super fun, even on Vivec. But I really like the big intense fights, and this event just steps up the amount of big fights going on. So there's a queue, load into another campaign while you wait. So there's lag, there's lag anyways, it's no different.

You can get on board or not, but it's already out there, its happening. And like other people have said, you dont speak for everyone. I really dislike statements that imply their opinion is the only one. If you dont want to participate then dont.

And like always, I'll run with any AD that want to check it out, just let me know

I didn’t do those PvE events. I DELETED what feathers I had. I pvped.

I don’t HAVE that mount. I don’t WANT that mount. I really ain’t gonna EVOLVE NOTHING.

I’m sick of events. I just want to PvP in peace.

Maybe zos should just add the event on certain campains
And leave the normal camapins which always run as a non event version

Add 5 new campains which all have the event dude in them, allow the event buffs ect.

myskyrim26 · January 2019

OP, speak for yourself. YOU don't want n extended Mid-Mayhem Event. But a lot of people are glad to take part again. Including me.

Sheezabeast · January 2019

I really want that special mount to drop this time for me. I think it was called the Imperial War Horse, or something like that. I never got it to drop for me in the last event, and I grinded for so many boxes....wish me luck this go-around!

VelimOrthic · January 2019

I too agree that there should be more events and they should last longer. Absolutely 100% agree with what most people are saying yes.

DLM · January 2019

AlboMalefica wrote: »

There’s going to be more events I’m afraid, all due the mount and it’s evolutions. Only 1 new berry or feather introduced with each event and needing 4 berries/feathers to evolve or acquire the mount. With 4 evolved mounts and a base, the events will keep coming & coming

I am still rather new to the game and haven't followed the whole story about this event. If I understand correctly, if I want berries to evolve my mount I will have to PvP? Is this for real? So if you are not in PvP, at all, you are forced into a gameplay that you despise for a feature that has nothing to do with PvP?!

biminirwb17_ESO · January 2019

The 30 day servers are the ones that get messed up with the "event" especially if the campaign scores are close. Regular players trying to win have issues with queues.

Maybe special "event campaigns" for the achievements and loot, and double ap for the rest?

jediodyn_ESO · January 2019

I DO! It’s my favorite event!

But wtf!? Seriously? Why now?! PvP is in the worst state of balance that it has been in years.

MARA’S CROTCH! ATTEMPT TO REBALANCE PVP BEFORE DOING THIS.

This event without some serious tweaking to the broken PvP problems is just going to cause so much damage to the potential PvP population. Please read the BG forums, the combat mechanic forum, and the PvP forum for the deafening roars of why this is a bad idea without a PvP patch.

P.s. thank you to the Thieves Guild update writer who gave the Skark’s Teeth captain the best exclamation in the game.

AT ALL! Who comes up with these ideas? Like for REAL!

People who actually enjoy PvP TOLERATE Mid-Year Mayhem once a year in the HOPE that ZOS improved performance in a years time. It ain’t BEEN THAT LONG. ZOS cant even PRETEND that ESO has 99 problems and lag ain’t one lol.

For those who don’t pvp and don’t enjoy it, an extended mayhem event ain’t gonna change their minds.

Look, I get it, asking ZOS to improve the performance of their games is asking too much. Geeze, keep your events, just leave us to the lag.

Or fine, give us an extended PvP event but please please please don’t give us anything else. No more events til April maybe, and you can hold onto any new chapters or DLCS whi’ Ya at it.

Sometimes I wonder why I still PLAY this game lmao.

This isn't the first time I've been referred to as a nobody......but other than the fear of lag, I'm looking VERY forward to this event.
