No Whitestrake's until mid March?

Hopefully this is because you guys want to be able to get the new hardware installed before the event.

Hopefully this is because they're working to enable double tel var as well, in light of 2022's canceled double tel var event.

Hi All, so wanted to chime in here. We have passed on this thread and some of the general feedback about the lack of double Tel Var events. In chatting with the dev team, they are are considering ways to rolling more Imperial City aspects into Mid-Year Mayhems to help with this particular gap for additional Tel Var earnings. However, this is currently not definite or definitive. Still in the plans stages to see how implementation could work. Just wanted to highlight that here.

As noted, we have passed this to the events dev team and they will take a look at feedback in the thread. Hope this helps provide additional clarity.

The picture below is from today's livestream - is Whitestrake's Mayhem still happening in mid-march?

ZOS_Kevin · January 2023

@React We did have a shift in the schedule for Whitestrake's Mayhem. We can confirm the event graphic that was shown during yesterday's Global Reveal is accurate and the most up-to-date. We'll have more information about all this very soon, but in the meantime, please know there will still be a Whitestrake's Mayhem event scheduled in the future.

Crushing to hear. I sincerely hope this gives the developers time to enable double telvar during the event, like you had mentioned they were considering in the comment below. With over four years since new content, no mention of new pvp content in 2023, nothing to show by way of improvements for the year long code project, and two consecutive cancelled/postponed pvp events, it really feels like PVP is being phased out.

Duane · January 2023

Wow, i must say this is really disheartening news I agree with @React, this does feel like PvP is being phased out of existence. Performance since update 36 during primetime has reverted back to the way it was before the server upgrades. I fear this will happen to the other platforms as well, a boost of performance, then falling flat on its face after only a few short months. I guess the only thing we have to hope for is the coded rewrite to fix the performance issues. But honestly i wont hold my breath on this one. I really just wish we wouldn't get mush mouth corporate nonsense speak about PvP. All this 'vagueness' gets really old when we really have nothing new to show for it.

I'm assuming and expecting this is because you guys want time to get all the new hardware installed and running before Whitestrake's to give us the best experience possible. I will also be assuming that the missed telvar event last year will be incorporated into the event (that's coming soon) to make up for its absence last year as well as us still getting the second Whitestrake's towards the end of year around the same time we always get it.

I thought the bar couldn't get any lower. I should remember to never doubt you guys.

@DirtyDeeds765

well they could always say that? But still didn't and have been given 2 chances by not only Kevin but Gina to give insight as to why its being postponed... The effort required is less than nothing and they cant even do that

ZOS_Kevin · January 2023

@Duane We stated this in another thread, but wanted to note it here as well. We are nailing down some details before following up with more insight. We can't give you the best possible information if we don't have these details down. But we are trying to get it handled asap. We'll update this thread as well once we have all of the details confirmed.

Appreciate the clarification. Hope to hear concrete details soon.

Really sad news, was looking forward to alliance change tokens on discount and needed some golden pvp jewelry for builds.

marius_buys · January 2023

Working PvP servers? In our own homeland?

ZOS_Kevin · January 2023

Hi All, just wanted to update here. Gina shared on ESO live that we will have more information on Monday on Whitestrake's. So please keep an eye out for that. Just wanted to keep you up to date.

Seraphayel · January 2023

Looking forward to hear more about this on Monday though, the delay shouldn’t be so under the radar, honestly.

Duane · January 2023

Any updates on PvP event?

possived · January 2023

Do we have a timeline of when on this glorious PTS Monday?

ZOS_Kevin · January 2023

Hi all, here is the update on Whitestrake's and some of the hardware refresh information. We hope this provides some context as to why Whitestrake's has moved. https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/626586/status-on-hardware-refresh-whitestrake-s-mayhem-event-january-2023

So, not even explorer's celebration this februrary? That makes for one incredibly dull month.

March also looks bleak, as Jesters is the will most likely be March 30 - April 6 <basing this on past dates for the event>

NeuroticPixels · March 2023

Is the Jester’s Festival the next event that gives tickets?

I’m only playing (and renewing ESO Plus) these days when a ticket event is going on, but i don’t want to miss any tickets, so I wish there was a calendar on the website that gave us dates for upcoming events, even if they were subject to change. So that we had some kind of idea.

jle30303 · March 2023

So, when is Jester's Festival happening, and when does the ESO Anniversary Jubilee event happen? Since the two seem to be very close together.

ZOS_Kevin · March 2023

We should have some information on Jester's Fest to share soon. We'll update this thread once that information is available.

ZOS_Kevin · March 2023

As promised, we have Jester's Fest Info available now. You can check it out here. https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/63857

@ZOS_Kevin typo in your OG post. "Tuesday, April 6th" is actually a Thursday >.<
