The bonus ap should only be rewarded on player kills. It makes no since to be getting 15k ticks for standing still. Sitting on your mount and getting the same rank as people that have played non stop for weeks. -_-

I have way to many hours on this game 27k to be exact. 99% of it has been in Cyrodiil (Dec. 2024)
Currently have 15 Grand Overlords and like to role play as a stealthy assassin.

    I think part of the point is to get people in there that have never been in there. The tickets are a way to do that. The hope is that at least a percentage of those people will stay. Without those tickets most will not even bother.

    Tickets are generally awarded for quest completions. Most of the PvErs you're so worried about will shy away from any actual battle, preferring to just run town dailies while being farmed for AP by the "hardcore" PvP community.

    Those that do participate should be encouraged. Without an event like Midyear... I mean Morning Star Mayehm, I would never have gotten into PvP at all.

    But this is all most of us will be able to do, if we get closer to any groups of players we will lag and crash...Actually, we'll lag and crash 100 times per hour anyway.

    My view is this. When I have a character who wants an alliance skill like Vigor. she waits until such an event to provide double AP. That means she only has to get Cyrodiil on herself for half as much time before she can get back to PvE. :)

    I agree...that's the whole point of a pvp event...so people ARE FORCED into PvP… and yes we will get complains from people that "ugh but we are PVE we dont like being forced into PVP" well guess what... so are the PVP players forced 4/5 events into PVE so get over it.

    Who cares how someone who doesn’t normally pvp gets AP? Once you’ve pvped a lot you’re going to have millions sitting around.

    I’ll get more for doing what I normally do, so it’s a great event!
    Looking for any guildies I used to play with:
    Havoc Warhammer - Alair
    LoC EQ2 - Mayi and Iskiab
    PRX and Tabula Rasa - Rift - Iskiab
    Or anyone else I used to play games with in guilds I’ve forgotten

    But if they don't award double ap for taking keeps and resources you won't have as many potatoes to tower farm. ;)

    Well if the only way to get yourself a kill and make yourself feel better is to go against low level, non-impen wearing noobs, then I guess go ahead.

    No i just find it enjoyable in destroying pve carebears. This only happens twice a year.

    Dumb. PvP in this game isn't in such a good state we should be trying to actively turn away potential players.

    Beat me to it.

    Not sure what the complaint is here, just run them over with your ball group and get your double AP.

    Figured you and the rest of your AoE and stun buddies would be salivating over this event...🤷‍♂️

    I'm gonna snipe spam for massive AP and then I'm gonna go to the next zerg and do it again. With not a single piece of Impen. Why even bother with it? Either you've ganged up on me and nothing will help, or I'm already stealthed, waiting for the right moment.

    Seeing as how cyrodiil is already laggy af without any event, i really don't know what to expect, something tells me you're all getting ahead of yourselves as most likely none of us will be able to properly benefit from the event :disappointed:
    I hope i'm wrong though

    If you're a betting man you've got good odds on something going down.

    Your only chance to win a fight is twice a year? That's just sad.

    Can't wait for the 2+ hour queue time just to blue screen constantly. There is already an hour plus queue for Kaal at prime time. I don't mind the waiting, but the disconnecting/crashing and being sent back to PvE land is not going to end in a good time.

    I would love new faces in Cyrodiil. Maybe even fill the campaigns, so we could choose the fun fights rather than the dull repetitive situation we have right now. That’s not going to happen if we do not take care of the newcomers

    Aaaaaaaand that’s not gonna happen if the stability isn’t fixed. On the other hand, it’s quite difficult to be nasty if loading screen is constant?!

    I had great fun camping the campers last year. PvEers make great bait for solo scrubs who can't do well in organized groups.

    I may or may not have put on a poverty costume and stood around quest givers waiting for unsuspecting gankers. :)

    They aren't taking credit for your work, but they benefit from it. How does that take something away from you? Do you think the Great White shark cares about the remoras (sucker fish) getting the scraps from its kill?
