I will totally pass on IC, won't even bother going there once. I will just do a scouting mission each day and call it a day. I dislike the costume anyway so I can focus the next 3 events on completing my indrik and get the parts for the pet again.

A tip for that. Go to the campaign your side own the least of. Pick up a scouting mission, go to the campaign your side own the most of, port to the scouting target you probably own, hand in, done.

Also especially near the end look for campaigns that are totally dominated by one side with gates open, nobody much playing in them and do all the skyshards and then maybe delves. You can often clear all or almost all the skyshards with the only fight being when you run through the gates into the enemy scroll temple areas (unless you have invis potions or nightblade in which case no fights at all)

Thanks for the suggestions, not my first Mayhem tho

My main has all Cyro skyshards since 2 years or longer and I won't bother doing Cyro all over with my alts, if they need skill points with them there are enough in PvE content.

Is this why CP IC populations are up to 3 bars on PC EU this evening?

They said "late July". Don't remember where.

Yep, we noted the windows for all Q3 events here.

More concrete timing will come closer to each event. So keep your eyes open for a Whitestrake's Mayhem date announcement sometime soon.

I do love me some zerg on zerg action. Good times! The only thing better than that is zerg on zerg on zerg!

The current campaigns end July 28th, so I would feel comfortable saying that Whitestrake will start Thursday, July 28th.

No, Ravenwatch started a few days ago ( PC/EU )

The main campaigns (Gray Host/Blackreach).

Either way, July 28th is a safe bet

Just had a look, Grey Host campaign ends in 23 days 9 hours (pc/eu)

acastanza_ESO · July 2022

I'm super pumped for Whitestrake to inject some victims targets fodder numbers into Ravenwatch!
It definitely seems like we've had a pre-event uptick the last couple days and I am here for it!

Ok, well, NA main campaigns end on the 28th. Could just be coincidence, doesn't change the fact that the day they end would also line up with when events typically start (Thursday) and it's only a few days before Cyrodiil-esque items start showing up in the crown store.

So, regardless of what campaigns, what servers, what alliances, what regions, it looks like all signs point to July 28th

Carcamongus · July 2022

If you have some patience, you can grab the Arena district daily, which requires you to free citizens, and complete it from the safety of your alliance's platform (I can say that works for EP and DC, but it probably does too for AD). Patience is needed to wait for the mobs you need to kill and the citizens to respawn, though they do so faster when there's more people around killing elsewhere.

Been stocking up on cyrodil citrus to make war torts for this!! Woot.

Completely agree.

But what good is it to have the event if the server problems never get resolved. Would love to hear more about that...

Got some info here. Timing for Whitestrake's Mayhem here.

@ZOS_Kevin Thanks for this. Could you ask someone to look at the website though please? Everytime I go to it, my computer tries to take off, and I know other people have also mentioned it

BloodyStigmata · July 2022

Ah yes, the "I saved event tickets from the previous event for the sole purpose of ignoring this event entirely" event.

My favorite.

Just don't all flood into the popular campaigns and end up crying cause you get zerged down from us PVP'ers playing the campaign, go into one of the many ones they open just for you to go in do your quests and leave

We don't want to start our guild run and half the guild is in a 100/200+ queue because all the PVE'ers flood our server

so much hostility.

Not really, we all have our home campaigns, we don't want to get a group together only for us not to get in because every pve'er joins the first campaign in the list, this is why ZOS add more so they can go there, Yes we could also go there but sticking to our home would be ideal

@ZOS_Kevin It would be awesome if someone could look at this. The cause is the lightFlicker function. If you null it out in console CPU usage goes back to normal. It has been like this for many months. Thank you!

I still think they missed an opportunity with Blackwood to make it a PVP/PVE zone like IC. I mean, it is still Cyrodiil...

I'll check that out next event and perhaps this weekend if I have time. I certainly hope that is the case because in fairness Midyears is an amazing event and one of the best and yet also worst experiences I have had depending on how the servers respond to things hah.

I can't vouch for Grey Host, as I don't go in there much, but been in the u50, IC and the other two campaigns and they all run pretty smooth, even zerg v zerg fights.

Bekkael · July 2022

Hey, thanks for the timely warning, OP! 😉

I spent the entire day (in total misery) in PVP land getting quests done on my 9 characters so I don't have to participate in this, my most hated event in the annual ESO calendar!

At least I won't be one of the poor sods getting endlessly ganked while trying to get tickets this year, so hooray for that. 😂😘

For you folks who like this event...enjoy.
