Some feedback regarding those quests - if there is going to be Golden pursuits during next event like this:

1. Doing 5 quests in Cropsford, Valastrus and Bruma should be altered.

Instead of adding 3 tasks to do 5 quests in each city, it should be:
- Do 5 quests in Cyrodiil cities
- Do 10 quests in Cyrodiil cities.
- Do 15 quests in Cyrodiil cities.

That way, it would also include other towns (like Chorrol, Cheydinhal), while also requiring same amount of quests but would generate significantly less traffic (Horse riding simulator). It would reduce "raiding" PvE-ers (yes, it is happing, people ball-group questing hubs on dead campaigns occupied by only 1 faction). This kind of behaviour of purposefully stopping PvP activity to do basically trolling / griefing should never be promoted.

2. Imperial City quest of killing 500 mobs is absurd. It should be 250 or at the very least 300. Way too annoying to do.

3. For the "PvP" celebration there is very little PvP activities included. There should be more. For example - why there is no task to do quests from the Bounty Board (Scouting, capturing keeps & other objectives) ? It is a missed opportunity. If those "Golden pursuits" were made to be PvP-centric, then those should reward PvP activities. And they do to some degree, but a lot of them feel like they are not made for PvP-ers nor for PvE-ers... so for whom ?

In General, I did not enjoyed a lot of them. I pushed hard to do them as fast as possible so that I would not have to spend time trying to do them in other days. I am already at 14 out of 15... simply because many of them did not felt pleasant or rewarding to do. It should be something that if you play Cyro, you will just do over time & even without altering your gameplay...

This is one good Golden Pursuit, it has a meaning to it and not only the rewards.

Pvp event, go kill players, farm tel war etc to earn the Golden Pursuit rewards.

I think all of these suggestions are great.

I think ideas (1) and (3) are good, but as for idea (2) I think that killing 500 foes in Imperial City is very doable-- I completed it on the first day of the event on PC NA, and hope to get it completed tonight on PC EU.

LokiAndBlack · February 22

Did anyone checked if the siege damage, done during cyroodiil introduction quest counts toward golden pursuit?

Grec1a · February 23

Thank you for this Golden Pursuit

I don't like PVP and only do it during Mayhems, so I don't bother having PVP builds or gear.

However I found this pretty doable. I've done 11 of the pursuits already - now I just have to collect the last event ticket and hand in the Cyrodiil dailies I prepared before the event. (I've got some extra quests, so I might wait till the end of the event in the hope that the Bruma/Vlastarus/Cropsford quester gankers will have given up by then...)

Excited about the new mechanism, thanks to team for creating tool, wrote in earlier ticket today about Battlegrounds, interesting because have never been there before, some battles were not recorded as activity numbers, we need 15 activities right? The other thing seen is two different ending dates for the event, when is the ending date for the event? The event is fun

Sllocsredle · February 23

I could not find the name, all I can think of is Rocksplinter

event ends March 4 and for unlock the customized action must complete 15 of 19 activities in the list
pick an empty camp or one where your alliance controls the map and do the Cyro quests
then to IC find a zerg group and go to areas ,kill all mobs and bosses for a couple of hours
finished all in both accounts in 3 days and im a solo player -with a group should take less time,good luck

This Golden Pursuit is more like Brown Pursuit

. Pretty much undoable (at most unenjoyable ) at least for PVE players. Thanks for excluding most of us, would be fun to see the percent whom actually accomplish this one ..

Normally, I would fully agree. For event where all other tickets can be earned in PVE, but twice a year people must do PVP to get them, I share your opinion.

For the pursuits, I don't. The rewards are PVP currency or at least PVP flavored. For me, it is logical to play PVP to get them.

Did anyone get the Dangerously Low quest done twice in the activity pursuits for Bruma, I went through quick and could not read much what the reward said on screen dialogue; however there were lots of red letters that I did not understand, looked in and saw more quest completions such as event tickets being completed when did not buy any, is this a substituition of some sort for Battlegrounds play that has not been recorded for Rocksplinter aka 3rd gift for completion of 15 activities?

Sllocsredle · March 4

The Mini Siege Mining tool appears to be a good tool, just received the tool recently, a lower level player in the game, was very difficult getting all the activities accomplished, happy that was able to complete all the activities, for a lower level player, going to Cheydinhal helps if there are any lower level players as well reading that was the last thing before I accomplished the last activity, was not sure if would be able to complete due to difficult things such as going to Vlastrus, Bruma, or Cropsford, the health regeneration does not work for me in the game as I see many other players just use the same healing techniques; however my character does not fully function as I am waiting to get better as a player, Cheydinhal is a good place to do the quest line that will show up on the activity list if you are looking for that last place to complete the activity for the customizeable mini siege mining tool as other alliances are understanding more now in places like Cheydinhal as a peaceful town where I hope my gameplay experience sees the 3 alliances not fighting each other every time another alliance player meets another alliance player that would be a dream come true, seeing some of that come to be in game. The near end of the event is happening, hope everyone receives the mining tool in the competition

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the current representation and engagement mechanics for HP Tanks in our quest system.

Current Observations:
HP Tanks are currently underrepresented in terms of engagement opportunities within quests.

The core functionalities of an HP Tank, such as absorbing significant damage and blocking substantial damage, are not adequately reflected in the current quest design.

Current Mechanics:
Healing Amount: This is primarily associated with the Healer role.

Dealing Damage: This is tied to the DPS role.

Dealing Siege Damage: This is a shared mechanic across all roles.

Recommendations:
To better align with the role of an HP Tank, we should consider incorporating the following mechanics into quests:

Damage Absorption: Introduce quest objectives that require players to absorb a certain amount of damage, emphasizing the Tank's role.

Damage Blocking: Implement mechanics where players must block a specific amount of damage, further highlighting the Tank's capabilities.

By integrating these elements, we can create a more balanced and engaging experience for players who choose to specialize as HP Tanks, ensuring that their role is both meaningful and rewarding within the quest system.

Thank you for considering this feedback. I look forward to discussing this further and collaborating on potential improvements.

Best regards,
yourhpgod
