linoge63✭✭✭It'll be interesting to see what it is like this year. I recall the level of jerk being fairly minimal last year, but back then you could run any daily at any time to earn boxes. The groups doing box runs in Cyrodiil were just respectful of one another regardless of alliances and it was typically only a lone $%#^ or two that caused issues. Usually those people were then attacked ruthlessly by everyone just wanting to run their boxes. Yes - you would see that idiot red getting smeared into paste by both blues and yellows just trying to do their boxes.
Well now full AD party "veterans" are trolling PvErs and camping on cheydinhal city quest givers that enough for you ?
Not to mention it is kind of harassment now cause I cant even get revived properly nor give or take quest meaning they prevent me from participating in the event.
For starters, asking PVP'ers to play PVE in PVP land is like expecting a cougar to sit when commanded to on its home terf.
If this is the devs way to introduce what Cyrodiilic pvp is to the pve'er they are even more daft than I'm starting to realize.
PVE'ers love their events and boxes n such and to place them in such a way to have the pve'er role play a zebra crossing the Nile river during the great African migration is beyond nutso.
Just say no to this crap by choosing to stay out of pvpland rather than communicate this as successful design by engaging it.

I've read on the forums pvp is dying many times. Nothing like making it die a little faster when the pve players come in to do an event and are seen as meat for slaughter - way to ensure the population doesn't grow. Last year, I saw cooperation in trying to do the quests. Reading the posts on the forums today........ okay, fine...... reads like the PVP players plan is just to smash PVE trying to do town quests......... which, really is a PVE activity in a PVP zone, much like Battlegrounds is a PVP activity in a PVE zone.
The suggestions of cobbling together a PVP build - which would include spending a fair amount of coin, for a one week event questing in towns, makes no sense. How do you cobble together the skills required? can't buy them. Probably would be fairly difficult to buy the PVP armour too, or fairly pricey.
Yes, I'll pass on the boxes, too bad.... enjoy your easy smashing....... kind of pathetic, really.
In point of fact, Battlegrounds exist in PVE, but are isolated as a PVP area. Perhaps in Cyrodil, the towns should be isolated as a PVE area. That makes sense, no?2 -

You can run away or don't show hostility but you can't prevent a PvPers to attack you since we are unpredictable.
When we attack you PvErs, it's not because you are an easy target but because you have fresh blood and also for the pleasure to smash the PvE community.
IDK about you, but smashing PVE players who don't know what they're doing gives me about as much pleasure as going to normal FG1 for the 100th time. Obviously each to their own but I can't see how it's enjoyable.EP CP160+ Templar, Sorc, NB

✭✭✭Look- it's understandable that you want to complete your quests in a PVP zone. But if you think about it- this is the part of the anniversary event so that PVPers can earn some tickets, too.
Want to enjoy the game more? Try both PvP (crybabies) and PvE (carebears). You'll get a better perspective on everyone's opinion.

Yes it makes loads of sense to isolate the towns in some way for questing that doesn't reduce pvp activity etc ---
Good luck to that one though!
One thing I learned not long after engaging pvp, was that there are many very good players that really have worked on the details of things and I also learned that the respawn/ so called death one experiences is truly no big deal, in fact ive learned a lot that i'd never have learned in pve.
So why not lure the pver into imperial city to hunt for telvars without having to split the gains with other allies nor lose any from being respawned except from a npc? The pver will learn a lot from those ganks etc and also learn, you know these ganks are not that bad!!
But to tack on the loss of earned currency from both allies and foes is DEV bootstrap mentality to say the least.

✭✭✭✭This is ridiculous. I have no intention of participating in the dungeon part of the event, because I find PVE extremely dull. You won’t find me complaining about being forced into PVE, though, as this is a FIVE WEEK event with multiple ways/opportunities to earn boxes.
Don’t want to die in a PVP zone? Then don’t visit any PVP zones, and certainly don’t rage at PVPers for killing other players.
ummm... isn't saying that you find PVE completely dull a complaint?

I'm not sure I get your meaning....... if PVP and PVE want boxes for the PVE type quests in Cyrodiil, then cooperation seems to be the better choice? If you want the PVP boxes for the get a keep etc dailies, that doesn't seem to be the issue? The crafting and WB/delve boxes were easily obtainable whether you prefer PVE or PVP. Certainly the spirit of cooperation was alive and well last week to get the boxes. If you play Battlegrounds in a PVE zone, why can't PVE do PVE type quests in a PVP zone without being stopped from doing it? How were you prevented by other players from the first two weeks of the event from getting boxes?Edited by Sirona_Starr on April 19, 2019 3:01PM3 -

✭✭✭✭There are pvp'ers who enjoy challenging fights against players of equal skill and then there are immature griefers who enjoy "farming nubs xD lol".
I agree with OP, there appear to be more of the latter type now than during previous events.
This happens in all games, in all aspects of the games.
When a game has a recurring theme, people learn from what happened the previous year. Then they adjust their tactics to be more efficient and effective the following year(s).
Once people learn how to take advantage of, well, Anything, that is what they are going to do.

The thing is, smashing people trying to turn in a quest for a box doesn't get you much of anything in Cyrodiil. You don't get an event box for it, you don't get much AP. I actually went in tonight after posting comments on a couple of threads about the way things appear to have turned. I did run into one jerk who was purposefully attacking where you need to go to get the thing to turn in the quest...... Ok, you win. You got whatever........ HOWEVER, I just went to a different town (the only one within my alliance zone that possibly I could just play unmolested to get a couple of boxes). There, I saw the cooperation, more than one time. Enemy player or players, alliance player or players, and we'd all be at the npc to get or turn in the quest. You have that immediate jolt. In each case we looked at each other, went on about our business, sometimes on the the same box quest to turn it in. That was fun If it comes to taking keeps and such, different story, and so it should be!!! But, I left the zone with big smiles 
Crap loot from the boxes, but big smiles 
. After a really tough day at work, and not much time to play, aside from that one jerk, (which I have to say, killing me made my trip back to turn in much quicker, so maybe you were just being helpful), it was the cooperation that brought me some enjoyable play time. Made me think of the cooperation to get the Artaeum house. Yeah!!!!

"week 3 is gonna be full of 'holes, 'hats, and 'wipes who grief other players and gloat about it, and the periodic PvEer to gripe about it.
aaah, war. war never changes.
Shortly after the formation of the Ebonheart Pact, a Nord woman was given a tour of the Tribunal Temple. When later asked about the experience, she seemed upset. Suffice to say, the Dunmer were not pleased to hear this, and thus they inquired further.
"Well," the Nord frowned, "the priests were very angry and unwelcoming. They kept shouting things at me like "you can't drink that mead in here!" and "somebody stop her, she's running naked!" and "we can't catch her; she's covered in grease!""0 -

People tell always that games are dying, I bet it's been told already on the first week when Cyrodiil was playable. I remember people telling Masseffect 3 multiplayer would be dead when Borderlands 2 or Diablo 3 arrives, yet I've been playing the same multiplayer quite actively lately and there's always players. Most pve players are in Cyrodiil just for the duration of the event and then go back to their normal game routines, very few might get interested in pvp and keep playing in Cyrodiil. Similar happens much more visible during the Midyear Mayhem, same pve players are participating in actual keep fights and can be found around the larger battles, this is of course tied to the event rewards again, most are gone as soon as the event ends and Cyrodiil is back to normal state. Ironically the same players tell they don't play in Cyrodiil because of the lag, yet they play there when there's the best lag ever. Usually the following campaign or month is more quiet than normal campaign, because the actual pvp players have played too much while enjoying the double ap, they are tired and play less in Cyrodiil for some time. At least this has happened on Xbox EU usually and I'd guess it's not that different on other platforms and servers. If and when pvp finally dies, it's not because of some pve players quit playing in Cyrodiil after few days instead of one week, it's because of the pvp players quit playing there or Zenimax ends the whole ESO game.
Town quests in Cyrodiil are pve content, however completing them might involve some pvp content, meaning the quests actually need to be considered as pvp content, otherwise butthurt will most likely follow. Same thing in Imperial City, I could be soloing some district boss, it's pve only then, but some player could still attack me at any moment making it pvp situation. Battlegrounds are pvp areas, which are qued from pve areas, queing location doesn't make battlegrounds any more pve content than Cyrodiil or Imperial City, que to Cyrodiil is also from pve areas, battlegrounds mode is pure pvp mode and areas also. Why should towns be isolated from pvp for pve players because of one week event? Towns would lose the element of pvp danger also for rest of the year's 51 weeks while most event questers couldn't care skeever's arse about Cyrodiil towns, not until the next year's event again.
Good pvp gear and ability setup helps in Cyrodiil of course, however in most cases those won't much help against much more experienced players without the experience of playing enough with the setup in actual pvp. I have usually 3 infused and 4 impenetrable on my armor pieces, I play also all pve content with the same items. I'd probably replace the impenetrables with infused items, if I'd make my armors more for pve, of course I'd have some useless champion points for pve, but otherwise it's not that huge different for my sets.3 -

✭✭✭✭✭Do whatever you want at Cheydinhal, I don't care, but when you are going to take one of towns like Cropsford or Vlastarus get ready for being hunt down - these are important from tactical reasons and I won't gimp the map just because you want to do some quests.I'm done with this game because of ZOS pushing us into Vengeance, because they don't know how to fix Cyrodiil.5 -
Daedric_NB_187✭✭✭✭✭I know you guys enjoy PvP a lot however during the event my dear AD would you mind staying out of dailys zone in Cheydinhal and let players enjoy the event?
I know i know its PvP zone you should get your a$$ wiped, L2P QQ ... whatever. But what kind of *** u have to be to just go for easy kill vs PvE players?!
Really I never had such issues years back during events and now it seems some stupid kiddos joined ESO community and are wrecking event for most of players.
Dear ZOS this week 3 event is just lame and I cannot say I enjoy it.
Sadly a lot of PvPers are made up of mindless hoards who just run around in zergs attacking anything that moves. For some reason they think it's satisfying to outnumber someone a gazillion to 1 and then beat them into the ground like packs of savage dogs. I don't get it either. It's kind of pathetic to be honest. And the only reason they enjoy it is because they are trolls who derive some kind of sadistic pleasure at the thought they are killing something controlled by an actual person and causing them grief. It's the only explanation. Because there is certainly nothing else they could enjoy about such a dull one-sided contest.
Because it's fun and because I can. And there's nothing you can do to stop it. Don't like it? Don't go to Cyrodiil.4
