Hexquisite✭✭✭✭Its been pretty fun so far...however we are staying on the "new" servers that are there just for the event, there isn't much lag on those even when pop locked.. Gray Host is our usual, and we have found both Gray Host and Standard unplayable during primes times.PC NA~Ethereal Traders Union~~Spicy Economics~~Tropic Thunder~~Us Ghosts~0 -

✭✭✭✭Meh. I'm not really putting that much effort into getting tickets this time. Did my IC dailies before the event so I could just turn in one a day, and doing scouting for the Cyrodiil tickets. It's a boring chore but it's considerably less annoying than actually dealing with teabagging jerks, so it's on about the same level as scooping out the catbox, which I also have to do every day. Not fun but I can live with it, though the reward this event are far less rewarding than owning a cat.2 -

It's mostly been a lot of fun for me, despite my lack of interest in PvP. I love this event, although I haven't spent any time in the sewers yet like I normally like to do.
But as for the boon box drops-- yeah, I'm not seeing any of the style pages yet. Are they dropping for anyone else?
As far as I'm aware they only drop from the ic bosses & not in the boon boxes0 -

✭✭I don't PvP but historically have gone into Cyrodiil and IC to run quests in areas my alliance hold. This event like the first one doesn't have anything I really care to buy with my event tickets so I'm not really making any visits. I've max'ed out my morpholith, the parts to build another and am sitting on 12 event tickets plus I own the all of the dropped DC motifs so have nothing to incent me to go.0 -
Bigmatt2✭✭✭It's just okay this go around.
Nothing too exciting.
Just getting AP that I really don't know what to spend it on anymore.
The Evergloam campaigns on Xbox is bugged, so no one can get Emp.

AndyMac✭✭✭✭✭Haven’t spent much time in Cyro for quite some time beyond the monthly 50 crystal efforts- damage has increased dramatically this patch - even without the incessant bombers.
It’s been a lot of fun to find a new build for my mag DK and try to cut down on the Insta deaths - Pariah /Spinners/Balogh/ Vat Perfect Ice staff
I like it a lot and I think I’ll keep it too. That alone has made the event really worthwhile for me. Thumbs up to the Theory Crafters for that one
Thanks ALOT folks.
I’m loving the double AP as I push towards Overlord Grade 2 and then GO
The rewards are pretty meh - but you can never have too many Cold Fire ballistas I guess.Andymac - Magicka DK - EP Grand Overlord - Flawless Conqueror0 -

✭I'm not. I don't PvP.
Slightly related, I'm disappointed with the doodads the Event merchant chick is selling for tickets. Kind of hoped to have a shot at the Knight of the Circle helmet (and other bits, perhaps), but they're not there.Exploring Tamriel since 1994.0 -

✭✭✭✭The guys who bomb in zerg contexts are going to get either NB as a class to get nerfed or the set....
That's what I think about MYM at the moment.
Constant bombing...and not good bombing from one person...just zerg bombing.
Doubt it.
Been like this for like 3 years now and neither that playstyle or set has been nerfed. In fact, it's been buffed
Bombers are a needed thing in PvP. It's the only thing that breaks up zergs.2 -
Gummybear803✭✭Worst event ever. Having to do two seperate tasks for event tickets, and sometimes being placed in a deathmatch BG. Just terrible! And too many PvP oriented endeavour tasks, makes it even worse.
Did have a fun capture the relic yesterday though. Tactical play is somewhat fun, fighting overpowered/broken builds and skills is not.
Please never do a PvP event ever again!
PS: I was playing full days, till the event started... now I can just barely make it through to get my tickets, and log off.
They do MYM yearly. Even twice one year, for whatever reason. Sometimes in January, sometimes in the actual middle of the year. You'll see it again soon. Lol2 -

The reason for that is that the clearly can't be bothered thinking of another PvP event so just do the same one twice lol.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭35k solo def tick for 2 minutes work. I'd just like to thank the group of AD PvDooring this morning who gave their life to the cause. You will not be forgotten.
Other than moments like this, it kinda sucks because of the queues man. The queueeeeees. Though I appreciate them opening other servers to play on, which are more populated than I thought they would be.0 -
Dropstitch✭✭✭✭PVP in this game is designed for people who do not like PVP. It is confusing that anyone bothers to play it.1

Drat, I don't know why I didn't remember that from the last MYM event. Thanks for reminding me! I've been focusing on doing as many Cyrodiil and Imperial City dailies as I can, when I should have been focusing as much or more on killing mini bosses in the sewers.
I just went into the sewers and killed the closest mini boss to my base. Lucky me, I got a style page for one of the four pages that I'm missing of the Ebonsteel Knight. I've fought mudcrabs more fearsome than me!0 -

✭Loving it as I do every year, made 500-600k AP on my least leveled character. Made another 500-600k on my bomber. 200-300k on my stamDK. Still need to jump on magsorc, stamsorc, stamblade, Magdk, health necro and my PvE tank & healer.
Mayhem is amazing, but the lag good lord the lag....particularly on necro....sometimes boneyard doesnt want to work. Other times dawnbreaker wont cast..... blehhhhhh
Oh and also the stun locking. Endless, repetitive unending brutally frustrating stuns that you cannot break free from because you're for some reason immediately stunned again straight after.
I am also wondering if they've nerfed the amount of uncracked geodes we get because I have barely gotten any this time around, year on year ive gotten plenty, now though? ehhhh

I had this the other day, died in the sewers to a gankblade (dont get me started on gankblades) and then I expected to res at base, ended up in arena instead and told me I wasn't queued then told me I wasn't able to jump.

they have a 20 or 24 hour cooldown. Store the boxes in your mailbox or spread them on your toons, then open just 1 every 24 hours to get a guaranteed 4-20 tc geode.1 -

✭✭Least fav hoilday they do and I pvp alot. lol
Cryo gets so laggy, that playing is not fun, IC is just not a fun zone in my book, so I just log on to get achivements for charcters, tickets and then thats in. Log out and go PvE.@Chaos2088 PC EU Server | AD-PvP0 -

erhm.... thats not quite true, i've recieved multiple uncracked geodges in a single day. All obtained on the day and opened on the day.
My bombblade got around 3-6 uncracked geodes on day 1, my necro got 3 yesterday.
I think you're thinking it works like the motiffs for DLC dailies, its never worked like that to my knowledge and still doesn't. It might be true that you are garaunteed 1 a day, but you aren't restricted to 1 a day. There is no cooldown based on my own experience, its just random chance. Which is why I asked if they nerfed it. Because they were popping a lot last year and the year before.
It was one of the primary incentives to come to PvP for PvErs during mayhem, not just the boxes. Still is a reason to come to PvP for some.Edited by xeNNNNN on June 27, 2021 1:59PMAh, e-communities - the "pinnacle" of the internet............yeah, right.0 -

then you were just lucky. RNG is RNG, you had luck in the past. I tried it once maybe 2 years ago, but got just 1 geode in 10 or so. 10% was it not worth, so I followed the advice in guides to open just 1 each day since then.
As I play with 36 characters, I get 1800 crystals in 1 campaign, so the daily 4-20 are just a nice to have addition lateron.0 -

✭✭✭Meh. I'm just a PvE carebear here for the tickets, suffering as I must.
Never tried BGs. No interest and I'd only weigh a team down terribly.
Cyrodiil is fine/cool.
Imperial City remains an adult toy wrapped in sandpaper and barbed wire.

✭As an extreme carebear, I'd like to thank all the people that didn't kill me. I was sitting in the middle of the road tonight trying to figure out where Blue Keep(?) was and came out of the map with someone sitting next to me (if I had. cared about dying, I wouldn't have been in the middle of the road).
I also CTD shortly after and learned that it is possible to get back to where you were. I always thought you'd need to requeue and restart.0
