    Made 400K AP tonight. Nice. Levelled my baby tank to 6 in Assault, so she gets all the goodies. Yeah baby.

    The event gives me bad time(lags, disconnection, zerg, etc. please specify)
    So I was in a delve and being attacked by the boss and 4 others and then another player came and joined in trying to kill me !!

    Well i managed to kill all the PVE enemies but not the PVP player he finished me off.

    What sucked about that is i didn't have time to loot the boss and of course you cannot revive there !

    I know its the nature of the event but still ! :s

    As for other campaign fights not really seen any on the map or been able to get to any before they finished but am very
    new to Cyrodiil so maybe not doing things right

    It is also very laggy and glitchy which hurts my eyes !

    I've had a small amount of lag, and long queue times, but no crashes in Cyrodiil.

    It would help if they'd let us change our campaigns for the event for free. On my EU account I don't have enough AP to change my campaigns, so I'm just stuck in Vivec. Would be nice to not have a 400+ queue during prime time hours. On NA I have enough AP to change campaigns, only it's so ridiculously expensive that I don't want to waste all that AP.

    You were attacked by (probably)another pve visitor for the event. Regular pvp players generally won't attack players from another faction whilst in delves, but every village has to have one idiot....just watch your aoe spam if trying to take down a boss as it will hit the 'enemy' player.

    And if you are looking for the pvp action, join a group- otherwise you can literally wonder around the map for days and hardly see another soul.

    Just doing what needs to be done to get the tickets since I don't give a flip about AP or alliance. Then after that, I'm putting on my earbuds, cranking up some good tunes, and eating popcorn while ignoring all the havoc this event is causing B)

    I already have burn out from the last event and didn't even realize another one was. Found out it was a pvp and was already put off. Tried joining a group to take a keep for the event ticket. Got the keep after a wonderful 13 fps stutter fest but no event tickets. Left as I have zero time to waste in pvp, and already having eso burnout, this would just put me off from the game for months. Guess I'll catch up on ticket during the next event
    The official news article for the event tells you what you have to do to get an event ticket. You can't get one by just taking a keep.

    Its great to have a lot more people in pvp for those epic (but lagtastic) battles.

    I am used to the lag it doesn't bother me, i am not trying to flex on people i am looking for stategic advantage for my alliance.

    However, i ran into the stuck in combat bug and i couldn't port or ride or /stuck and i had to walk from the eastern gate to bravil to sucide. That was super annoying.

    I'm just getting event tickets as efficiently as possible. E.g., I was on a character whose alliance not only controled but could transit into Bruma, so I jumped into Cyrodiil, did the quests for clearing the main house and walking out the front door of the main house to kill a guy, and logged back out. I've also done two scouting quests when they seemed easy, one of them not turned in yet.

    I approached a keep under attack via horseback, when i got inside the keep everything had frozen in place. I crashed my game, logged back in and found out i was kicked out of the campaign and put back to Stonefalls from where i queued into Cyrodiil to begin with. And ofcourse, the queue was at 300+. 3/10 event, thanks ZOS :)

    It’s only just started?
    Does this mean the terrible lagging and constant disconnecting approaching keeps us going to improve?
    And I tried all different campaigns :|
    Aussie lag is real!

    I usually never had issues playing in Shor, but now during the event I had several times issues with increased lag and being unable to bar swap for several seconds in row. At least I can't say the event is not exciting. Being unable to bar swap while enemies are chasing me gives me quite a thrilling feel. :D

    Don't like PvP, and the daily rewards this month are horrible. Therefore, I have no incentive to play this month. May only log a couple of times to help people for vAS+2 and that's it.

    The performance has genuinely surprised me. Granted I avoided Vivec because of the 300+ queue but Malacath and Shor have been population locked at points throughout the day and performance has been fine.

    Pretty happy.

    Let's see:
    • Assault 6 on 2 toons
    • Max end of campaign rewards on 3 toons
    • About 500k AP

    I've been having fun.

    Even more crazy, Vivec has been (relatively) fine for me!

    I just used the added AP rate to grab Warhorn for a PvE character that didn't have it. Halving the required amount of PvP activity was the big feature for me.

    I'm really surprised, no disconnections, no crashes, just usual lags (what doesn't mean I accept them, but I thought it would be worse).

    — They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.

    Pretty good first night. Spent half my time in Shor and the other half in Sotha Sill. No queue time, hardly any lag, got three characters past reward tier 1, and I'm making good progress towards my 6th Star-made Knight.

    I haven't looked into this yet but is this available for low level characters? I have some stam alts that need caltrops but outside that I really don't like PvP and would rather not.
    PC NA. Various alts, trying to find a main, I have no idea what I'm doing.

    I mainly PVE.

    But I do a fair bit of PVP.

    This event is as laggy as I’d expect based on past midyear mayhems (which, interestingly enough, were actually in the middle of the year) - not surprising and to be expected. Irritating, but (sadly) nowhere near out of the ordinary.

    Even so, still having a blast.
