    PVP is way more fun now,sincethere's no meta builds,no gankers,and less lag.Everyone on a even playing field which is how PVP shoulda been.As they add stuff back,it'll go back to elitist meta builds and gankers.So go learn and enjoy it now.

    Grug no like PvP but Grug want a PvP only reward? Grug not make sense.

    [edit] Seriously though. There's a huge difference between "want" and "need". If you merely "want" the reward, then there's no compulsion to be even remotely considered "forced" play. If you actually "need" the reward, there might be a case to be made. But there isn't.

    Again... the key word is want. Besides which.. the AP for the skill lines you have to do PVP regardless how you go about acquiring it Golden Pursuit or not. So explain again how you're being forced to do the GP?

    Why not add both PvP and PvE missions separately so everyone can enjoy what they like most? I'm pretty sure there are a lot of PvP players who hate PvE, just like there are a lot of PvE players who hate PvP. So why can't we have both types of missions and make everyone happy?

    Forcing PvE players into PvP just to participate in some kind of PvP test they don’t even care about? I'm sure having players who hate PvP in PvP tests makes perfect sense to someone… but not to me.

    "Forcing PvE players into PvP just to participate in some kind of PvP test they don’t even care about? I'm sure having players who hate PvP in PvP tests makes perfect sense to someone… but not to me."

    Providing incentive to perform an activity and forcing people to participate are two different things. No one is forcing anyone to do anything and the rewards for participation are pretty insubstantial. Let's tone down the hyperbole a notch. You're free to sit this one out with little to no FOMO.

    Can we get people to stop complaining that PvP exists in ESO please? And kindly stop ignoring the fact that nearly the entire focus of ZOS dev effort has been into PvE since 2018 or so. Not to mention to PvP in ESO mandates massive time inputs into PvE activities to get gear and resources etc....at least it did prior to template only PvP. ESO is an MMO with Cyrodiil being part of the originally intended end game activities.

    Well, then Grug needs to decide what he wants more: never do PvP ever, or get rewards from a PvP Pursuit.

    The point of this Pursuit is “do PvP and test Cyrodiil.” You’ll notice that even the other PvP modes (IC, BG, duels) are not included either. That’s because literally anything other than Cyrodiil is counter to the point. I’m sorry, but you don’t get rewarded for refusing to do the task. Your choice is to grit your teeth and do PvP to get these PvP rewards, or make a stand and boycott the rewards in order to show how much you hate PvP.

    And this will be a factor going forward as well. One of the main goals of Golden Pursuits (and Endeavors, by extension) is to get players into game modes that they don’t normally play. They were not put in to just give free stuff; ZOS wants to entice people to step out of their comfort zone so they can hope to keep some of these other game modes populated.

    Because this is specifically to test changes to Cyrodill combat and how PVP is functioning so they need people in there fighting other players, taking keeps, etc, not doing town quests. Sounds like the server has been qued so they are getting enough PVPers to test.

    Feedback is always good. Unfortunately for some the feedback Zos is currently looking for is to get in there and PVP test for them then give feedback on how things feel, likes, dislikes etc.

    They have made the rewards available to compensate if it's not really your thing but maybe you'll do it anyways. If not, no biggie there will likely be something that suits your fancy in the next couple of weeks.

    Jester Festival is right around the corner for the PVE only fans.

    The pursuit prior to this one had both pvp and pve elements in it. Players still complained that it wasn't enough pve.

    It makes full sense to have pursuits entice players to participate in what is going on.

    This one is gold and AP. Which really isn't all that much to a pvp player. It's actually more enticing to a pve player that doesn't pvp all that often.

    Honestly, this test is the most favorable to pve players. It's literally just seige and class skills and follow the zero.

    Even if test works or fails I hope they bring stuff like this in the future. My time has been limited, but I have walked out within 45min to hour sessions with tons of AP.

    Favorite Foods and Potions
    https://media.giphy.com/media/3otPoTggaYFNd1FdAI/giphy.gif
    • Parse Food for PvE:(DPS) Ghastly Eye Bowl (increases Max Magicka by 4592 and Magicka Recovery by 459 for 2 hours).
    • Gold/Purple Food for Sorc PvP and Meme Tanking:(PvP) Clockwork Citrus Filet (increases Max Health by 3326, Health Recovery by 406 [useful if stage 1 vampire], Max Magicka by 3080, and Magicka Recovery by 338 for 2 hours). Witchmother's Potent Brew (Increase Max Magicka by 2856, Max Health by 3094, and Magicka Recovery by 315 for 2 hours.
    • Trash Potions when feeling cheap: Regular CP150 Essence of Magicka pots that I obtain frequently from playing the game or Crown Tri-Restoration Potion obtained from dailies.
    • Crafted Potions: Essence of Spell Critical (Bugloss, Lady's Smock, and Water Hyacinth). Without magelight this is my primary means of obtaining Major Prophecy on my Sorc, which increases my Spell Critical Rating. This also heals and restores magicka. Essence of Immovability (Columbine, Corn Flower, and Wormwood). I use this in PvP, since this gives me stealth detection, knockback immunity, and restores magicka (better to use it when competent allies are nearby, since it might reveal that you are surrounded by multiple players in stealth and you will not have an emergency pot available after use). Essence of Invisibility with only 2 ingredients (Blue Entoloma, Namira's Rot, Nirnroot, or Spider Egg). I use this in PvE content that requires stealth and if I need more speed I'll use Rapid Maneuver before using the potion. Essence of Invisibility with 3 ingredients (Blessed Thistle, Blue Entoloma, and Namira's Rot). Very useful in PvP alongside the vampire Dark Stalker passive, since you'll be invisible, ignore movement speed penalty while in Crouch, and you'll have a 30% movement speed boost from Major Expedition (I always have this slotted when riding from point A to B in PvP land, since gankers are always lurking). My templar/arcanist will mostly use Essence of Health (Tri-Stat Potion) Ingredients: (Mountain Flower, Columbine, and Bugloss).

    The only non-PVP reward is 30k gold, which you can easily get by farming mats in Stros M'Kai in a lot less time than it takes to finish these pursuits. And even then, only an hour of 0 effort zergsurfing can get you all the pursuits if you really want them.

    Why are PvE players always the ones forced into these PvP tests?

    If you dont want to earn 300k AP, dont come to pvp ?

    I mean, its quite logical

    it's a 7days pursuit, and you have an event UP beside that, just leave it and go play pve?

    Good news for those upset about the pursuit; there's a pve event starting today.

    I thought I'd provide my own feedback that I wish these events were more focused on actual content like pvp, vet dungeons, and trials, or new and unique challenges like the witches' festival bosses. Jester's is incredibly boring, why am I forced to repeat the same mindless quests I've been doing for years?

    Anyway, enjoy your event! You'll hopefully soon forget that some pvp players (and many pve players who made a slight effort to participate) got a little bit of AP.

    Does Grug know you're attempting to impersonate him?
