All my alts have returned to Vivec City for, as you said, the convenience of having everything so close together for writs. The only characters still parked in Rimmen are those I'm currently maining/leveling.

Same here, Vivec City just has everything close together

I'm parked in Rimmen anyhow, so I'm staying. But it's funny to see how much things have dropped off. Without the event to drive the population, dragons are pretty much just sitting at all three spawns and never being attacked now. This zone isn't even that old and it already feels a bit dead just because the event is over. Same for crafting writs, the city was pretty busy last week, but I see a fraction of people around when doing them today. Maybe folks are just burned out from the event, but I hate seeing all these DLC zones with content built for groups of players that cannot be done by most players by themselves so they sit around undone until an event or those players come along that love to solo that stuff for the challenge.

My main NA character lives in Vivec City. My main EU character lives in Daggerfall.

During the Elsweyr event, both of them moved to Rimmen. It was nice to spend some time in Rimmen, even if it was mostly to do daily crafting writs, go to the bank, go to NPC merchants to sell stuff, go to the outlaws refuge, and park my characters at the Sugar Bowl Suite when they weren't off earning their daily event tickets, working on the Pathfinder achievement, collecting skyshards, and otherwise running around Elsweyr doing quests and delves.

Now that the event is over, they've both moved back home. Rimmen is okay, but I still prefer Vivec City for crafting, because all of the stations, the turn-in location, the bank, and even the outlaws refuge are so close together. And even though Daggerfall is more spread out than Rimmen in that respect, I've been crafting in Daggerfall for so long that the running around is more of a familiar routine than a chore.

What about you?

Do you take up residence in a zone when there's an event there-- assuming you have housing in that zone-- or do you just take the wayshrines to get to the event zone each day and head back home after you're finished in that zone for the day?

And if you do take up residence in the event zone, do you stick around for a while after the event is over, or do you head back to your usual home zone?

I don't know. I fast travel all over the place using wayshrines, so this isn't really a decision I have to make.

I generally stay outside event zones until the event is over. Similarly, I don't undertake new content zones until the launch crowd has moved on. It's time now for me to explore Elsweyr!

Exactly this.

Clash City Rockers and Garage Band for me.

With my main/crafter I prefer to do the writs in vivec as I had absolute trouble finding the crafting stations in Rimmen

Yeah, I didn't necessarily have trouble finding the crafting area, and the way they're laid out is nice-- I'd hit the cooking fire first, then do Alchemy, Jewelry, Enchanting, Clothing, Blacksmithing, and Woodworking in that order, making a counterclockwise circle that ended up where I could just jump off the ledge and run to the turn-in crates. And on my NA main I can usually skip Provisioning and Alchemy due to making multiples of everything at a time.

But every so often I would turn from the NPC merchants, bookshelves, or crafting stations and get turned around somehow, so I'd have to take a few seconds to look about and reorient myself. Something about the layout almost turns it into a maze of sorts, which is very simple to navigate unless you take a wrong turn somehow.

Most of mine prefer Vivec City, but I did shift a few to Rimmen during the event — it was more convenient there than I had realized, once I learned my way around. Not sure if I’ll leave anybody there or not.

Usually I stick with Vivec, but jump around to Rawl’kha (outfit station, bank, outlaw refuge, writ turn-in, traders, and stable *so* close to wayshrine), Alinor (fast writs but everything else is a ride thru a pretty city), and Mournhold (fast writs and master writ turn-ins, but the bank is a PITA).

Rimmen definitely took me a little while to get familiar with; and I cringed when I was doing the zone questline and needed to go back to the palace, because it's such a PITA to go to. But as with any city that's new to me, once I got my mental map of everything it got a lot easier.

[Edit: And I absolutely agree about the bank in Mournhold!]

I did my Elsweyr dailies last night - and plan to again this evening - but didn’t complete Dragon Hunt due to lack of other players. I. Just. Can’t. Let. It. Go.

You know, I never did any of the Elsweyr dailies; that's one thing I definitely need to go back for. And I haven't done any of the Group Bosses yet; I tried to do one with another random player who was already there, and we were both high CP-- which in my case definitely does not mean high DPS-- but we got wiped out pretty quickly.

There are only 3 dragon fights...3! compared to everything else in the zone. Maybe you could include a few of the world bosses (though I have reasonably soloed all of the ones in Elseweyr already). So let's be honest here - the vast bulk of content in Elsweyr is solo-friendly.

I for one was pleasantly surprised to finally come across a challenge on the landscape in this game where it's actually nice to have a group with you. So please, let's not nerf Dragons (if that's where you are going with this). I like them the way they are.

Maybe add them to the activity finder or something if people are having a hard time getting groups for them. But let's keep them challenging and designed for actual group-play please. Because having 3 enemies on the landscape (again, just 3!) that you can't easily dispatch alone really isn't so bad, especially on what is suppose to be a multiplayer game.

It’s a shame everybody has left Elsweyr, the ‘kill dragons for the kittens’ event still runs until December. Think of the kitties!!

My main and twinks live usualy in Summerset and Rimmen. Summerset because all is very close (crafting/quests) and more and more Rimmen cause stuff is even closer. I hate it to run in circles or into dead ends in game. This is bad game design otherwise.

All my alts always hang around Vivec City for easy crafting. I move my main around but she's always in Vivec City for crafting and banking.
