If you have 12 tickets stocked up you can still get the berry and skip this even if you want.

Just be careful. Gankers will be at those towns in force picking you pve'ers off. I should know, i was one them last year. And i made a bomber just for such an occasion. Keep your head on a swivel and don't group up too close.

ZO$ know that there will be hundreds, if not thousands, of PVE players who will flat out not want to PVP, and many more who will be driven away from trying by the gankers who are gathering in force specifically for this event.

Solution? Sell the tickets in the Crown Store. Of course, ZO$ wouldn't be that mercenary, would they...?

...oh, wait.

if it goes anything like imperial city did - there are going to be pvp trolls out in droves pending all their gaming time camping pve players trying to do their town quests.

I mean... every time I've gone for skyshards inside the gates of other alliances in Cyrodil there was at least one person stealthing there with express purpose of killing you before you could finish grabbing that skyshard.

That is because your alliance attacked and opened the gate to start with and are an enemy in their territory.
Most will let you grab the shard before killing you some will not.
Suggest you stealth and use detect pots to make sure it is clear when approaching a shard inside a gate.
Remember you aren't wearing an I am a PvE'r sign. lol

1. doesn't matter if I'm pver or pvper. its still a crappy thing to do
2. it may not even have been my alliance.

Now you know how PvP players feel when they have to farm PvE activities to get their gear.

Ye... Only this is a complete bull.
It's absolutely obvious that most of the time the reasons why players don't like PvE and PvP are completely different.
PvE could be grindy and therefore boring for some players. But that could be easily overcome by most players because it's MMORPG. You just don't play MMORPG and expect to completely avoid any grind at all. People that can't stand it don't play MMORPG usually.
But most people don't like PvP because is stressful, unpleasant, demanding. Because it's kind of the aim of PvP - being a maximum level problem and pain for other players. Of course some people can show a little restraint, but still a conflict is a core of PvP. While for PvE it's some continued process or even cooperation with other players.
So no, it's not even closely the same thing and problem.

I mean, you're not entirely wrong. There are different types of players. The PvE "Achievers" and RPer types who just want a fancy new mount for collection or concept may be put off by Cyrodiil's PvP "killers". They have no sense for that sort of gameplay. To them it must seem like being ask to walk into a sea of sharks. It can't be help, even if someone points out a sand bar you can walk out to at low tide, they just won't risk the grief and humiliation.

So if you won't take advice like, " run a scout mission at off hours," or you won't seek help from a seasoned veteran in your guild or friends list, then your only option is to plan around the event.

P.S. if you've never even entered Cyrodiil, you may be able to earn a box just doing the intro quest or Welcome to Cyrodiil tutorial on a new character each day.

Yeah, last Midyear Mayhem event
was running PVE town dailies
and would see players from other alliances running around doing quests as well
and never got attacked

it was particularly discouraging, as by the end of the event
had to run up to enemy players and /playdead for them to kill me to get my free port back to friendly territory

got a ton of the Pelinal boxes tho

Eh, rather than type the whole thing again, I'll just leave my advice here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5715000/#Comment_5715000

Many folks seem to be under the impression that Cydrodiil is the only way to get the tickets, and it's not helping that others are feeding the notion instead of offering alternatives, which is Battlegrounds. Hit 'P' while you're in the game and click on Battlegrounds. You queue it like a dungeon.

While yes, you still have to pvp in Battlegrounds, there's a clear objective and thus most ppl are more focused on that objective than you (that is, IF they want to win).

I'll be happily sharing info on the Battlegrounds so my guildmates and friends can do the dailies, get their tickets, and walk out, and let Cyrodiil and its natives divide lag and frustration among itself.

I go to Cyro for the fun of grouping and taking keeps and resources, and I do BGs to farm crystals and RftW. Can't be bothered to care about alliance or any of that junk

But hey, that's just me. (:

If you are not a PVP player and want an easy way to earn tickets, grab a scout quest, use the transitus to fast travel to the closest keep held by your faction, hop on your mount, ride to the destination, jump off into stealth when you arrive, complete the quest, run to some guards for a quick death, rez at the quest board gate and turn it in for your tickets. No PVP combat is necessary and the entire ordeal can be completed faster than running the normal FG I dungeon.

Every time there's a PvP event there's always someone coming and making posts like this haha.

Go do the activity for your tickets and suck it up. I didn't really like going back and forth doing new year quests, but I did them for my tickets (:

LOL - NO ONE likes the grind of these festival event dailies. PvE and PvP alike had to suck it up and do boring quests every day for their event tickets.

Sure, I can handle doing that boring grind better than going in and immediately dying in Cyrodiil, but don't assume that PvErs LOVE to do those daily boring quests. We just suck it up JUST LIKE PVPers in order to get those tickets. I also sucked it up and did dungeons every day to get those tickets - I don't do dungeons normally either.

Fact is, all players have to suck it up and do various events/activities they actually don't enjoy in order to get the rewards ZOS dangles at us.

I won't be participating in this event, most likely, because I know there will be campers everywhere and I just don't want to deal with it. My choice, to be sure. I believe that ZOS will provide enough tickets from the other events to at least buy the berries, if not more feathers.

And don't tell me that PvPers have never complained about having to go into dungeons or do VDSA to get gear. There are such complaints in this thread.

I'm passing on this event, as I don't care enough about the mount to suffer through PvP.

Y'all have fun!

On second thought, maybe I'll give BG a try. Go in naked without weapons and see how fast I die! My team mates will love me!

Some of pvpers still have to farm VDSA for the weapon sets .

ZOS wants PVE and PVP players cross each other for some reasons

Schadenfreude is the reason..

And how exactly is this our problem? I'm sure there's plenty of people who don't like pve, and had to do pve for the feathers.

If you don't want to do pvp, then no berries for you. It really is that simple. The world doesn't revolve around you.

PvP's in a PVE zone don't run the same risks as PvEr's in a PVP zone. It's not a fair comparison.

Both are doing content they don't want to do. It's the same thing.

And what's the risk involved in pvp? Getting killed in a video game where dying has little to no consequences?

Doing either the town quests or the scouting quests essentially require no pvp out of you. The scouting quests, you just go near a resource or keep, do the scout report, and that’s it. The town quests are just easy daily quests. Nothing more to em.

These people don't care though. These are the same type of super casuals that ruined wow because they wanted instant gratification. They want things handed to then with no effort involved. Go play mobile games if that's the experience you're looking for, and stop ruining pc games made for actual gamers.
