Yesterday I tried Cyrodiil and while I could open a dialog, I could not accept any quests. "You can't do that in this campaign." I couldn't read books either. Same response.

Today I picked up the quest from Jester Queen Ayrenn but when I got to Skywatch I could not prank the grumpy folks. I can interact with ordinary NPCs like the celebrants or the Enchanter near the first area. But no quest progression.

I disabled all my add-ons, updated them via Minion, and repaired my game files. The problem persists.

What can I do?

Did you prank the ones in Vulkhel Guard before going to Skywatch? I screwed that up last year on the first day, and it took me WAY too long to figure out it was me being dumb....

This is because of how the Vengeance Campaign works. Everything has been deactivated in Cyrodiil, including quests and lorebooks.

Really? That's... wow. So what am I supposed to do there? Why are there markers on characters and I can initiate a dialog?

Essentially what it's doing is it's replacing your character with a brand-new one while you're in Cyrodiil, which is why those characters have nothing done (no lorebooks, no discovered landmarks, no quests). However, actually collecting those things was also turned off for the test.

The point is strictly to PvP. To go in as large a zerg as possible and do nothing but PvP.

Once this test is over on Monday, then it'll be back to normal.

What is the Cyrodiil Champions Test?
The Cyrodiil Champions Test (Vengeance Campaign) is focused directly on reducing Ability complexity in an effort to cut down on server stress when mass battles occur. Anything you see that's enabled or disabled during this test is purely for the sake of performance and getting calculations as low as possible on the server. Support systems which are normally on, such as mail, achievements, leaderboards, etc., are disabled for this test. This is due to the overhead they present when having temporary alterations to your character while in Cyrodiil.

The Vengeance campaign is open to all players level 10-50 and introduces a special ruleset to the Alliance War, templatizing player builds to help improve stability.

- All players have normalized stats regardless of level
- Each Class has a modified set of abilities and items
- While in Vengeance, you cannot access your bank, vendors, or crafting nodes
- Only Experience Points, Alliance Points, gold, and Champion Points are retained upon leaving the campaign, and no items can be taken out
- The Champion System is disabled in this campaign
- All quests are disabled in this campaign
