The Most Fatuous Immersion-Breaking Event Ever

So right now Devon's Watch is full of corpses as 'badd ass wannabes' kill every NPC in sight, around the wayshrine are FOUR copies of the self-same NPC.

I rarely use the 'immersion breaking' meme as I don't invest that much into 'role playing', but this is an exception, it makes me want to avoid all towns when the 'kewl doodz' choose to hang out.

It's pathetic.

It's a pity ZOS never delivered the promised 'vigilante' feature due to lolworldPVP whining that happened when NPC killing became possible. :(

    Lol is it 'bad ass wannabees' or just people doing the event?

    Your use of the word "pathetic" is rather ironic in this case.

    Indeed it's a pathetic event .. but that wasn't the point you were trying [and failing] to make.

    Well that first picture is happening every day of the week. People just do the Gold Farm 24/7, regardless of how utterly boring it is.

    @KerinKor remember to tag people so they can see your response :)

    The point I was making is that your argument is a pathetic attempt to ride the hate train that is going on in the forums.

    If it hurts you that much, just RP elsewhere.

    Uhm, the first picture is Hadran's Karawan, best farm spot for loot, that has nothing to do with the event at all. :)
    You'll usually see someone farming there and if you just ask to be grouped, you can go afk a bit and come back to your PC and loot..

    "Immersion breaking" It's an MMO - you're surrounded by other players doing who-knows-what, with all sorts of silly names & outfits while riding absurd mounts, the screen is covered in distracting UI & chat boxes, and everything around you respawns.

    I don't believe in "immersion" in the first place*, but based on everything I've seen people spew about it, I can't see how it could exist at all in an MMO. /eyeroll



    * (or at least, I don't suffer from it. I feel sorry for anyone who does, since all it seems to do is "ruin games" when it "breaks". I'm glad I can just enjoy games without having to worry about that happening.)

    The event isn't the problem. You have a problem with the DLC.

    Looks like somebody is enjoying their immersion of being the Pack Leader before it gets nerfed on live.



    I'm sorry you feel your immersion is the only one that matters.

    This is common actually, someone did it in Daggerfall the other day and I did it when bored in Skywatch. However I do agree they should really improve the despawning on civilian NPCs, it is horrible in Kvatch.

    what does this have to do with the current event?
    Double reward drops for defeating World Bosses
    Double reward drops for defeating Delve bosses
    Double rewards for Gold Coast Delve and World Boss dailies
    Double Defiled Whiskers drops from Maw of Lorkhaj bosses
    Increased rewards for completing Heists
    Increased rewards for completing Sacraments
    Double harvesting resources from regular crafting nodes (not nodes from Survey Reports)

    the only murdering that is event-related is taking place in Anvil (kill an NPC to join the Brotherhood), Kvatch (kill confessors), or in private instances

    The only way I can see this related to the event is that some people have bought the DLCs cheap as they're on sale during the event and are now levelling it with the usual obsessiveness that some gamers display.
    And quite frankly I don't see anything in that last picture that I haven5seen pre event in basically all the major cities.

    Immerse yourself into a murder mystery. Crack the case off the dead dunmer (or whatever it is lying around dead)
