As someone who generally hates events, I like this event.

These quests are short and quick to do and, therefore, pretty boring. You can only do 5 at most of each unless a team member is sharing their 5. It's too many and they are too repetitive to play like that. What I do is the five siege quests, the crafting because it's ludicrously quick, and one of each of the others to get the glorious box, then go back to my normal daily content. That way, I am not bored to death repeating the same quests over and over for hours. I mean, the rewards from the purple boxes are awful, so there is no incentive at all.
We also know that they have a time frame for the completion of Phase 1, so it doesn't matter if most of us stopped the hundreds of little quests; they would adjust the percentage completion to suit their time frame, just like they already did when we got too far too fast on the first day.
It's actually more fun just to chill out at the Rampart camp and see everyone coming and going, it really does feel like preparing for a major conflict. They did a good job with that, but if you are buried in hundreds of fetch quests, you won't get the atmosphere and will very quickly get pissed off. Take a different approach, relax, do your normal daily stuff and watch the progress bar fill up. By the way, I added a progress bar to our guild website for PCEU, you can see it here if you are interested

Adding something like this to your guild website can help get the guild into the event; it's just a Google Sheet chart published and embedded, fun to do, though you do have to manually update it every few hours.
happy Solstice finally has its incursion.

It's good they're there now, and I do enjoy playing them, but I can't ignore that this is content that would have normally been part of the regular zone release. It's no extra thing, but just chapter content released after a delay of 4 months. Presenting it to us as some special event thing, like it's a bonus, just doesn't feel right.

New World just made their Angry Earth expansion free for everyone, while simultaneously dropping yet another completely free expansion in Nighthaven.
You’d almost have to be crazy NOT to be playing New World right now, I know I just picked it up.

I too started playing New World, I’m still a beginner, only at level 35. I gave Writhing Wall a shot but once I realized it’s basically just dolmen farming like in Alik’r, I immediately switched back to NW.
No. More options makes the poll less useful, either you're enjoying it, you aren't enjoying it, or you haven't participated. The "enjoying it" and "not enjoying it" options don't say anything at all about how strongly you feel about it. Are you having fun when you're doing the event, even a little? If so, then the answer is you're enjoying it. If not, then the answer is that you're not enjoying it.BXR_Lonestar wrote: »They're needs to be a 4th option for "eh...."
Emphasis added by me: from what you describe, specifically that you just want to do something more entertaining, you should have voted that you're not enjoying it.BXR_Lonestar wrote: »I'm currently maxing out on 3 of the 4 daily quests offered (I don't bother with the ones that are supposed to take me all over tamriel), but the drop rates on stuff that I actually want (motifs, blueprints, fragments) is so bad that it hardly seems worth the effort to grind these events all evening long. This is especially true once you eliminate the gold boxes and you are only down to blue boxes or even just the drops from defending the siege camps. Drop rates need to be higher to encourage you to grind. Otherwise, I just want to do something more entertaining, like killing reds in Cyrodil.

The choices aren't "I hate it" or "I love it" they're "I'm enjoying it" or "I'm not enjoying it". If you're enjoying it, even a little, then vote that you're enjoying it. If you're not enjoying it, even if you don't hate it, then vote that you're not enjoying it.Can't really vote, because the choices are a bit too total for me. I wouldn't say I hate it, though my impression is negative-leaning, but then again it's more a sentiment of "I don't care much".

I noticed I started getting the new motif and mats half way through my game session, which is an improvement. Bethesda charges AAA prices, we deserve AAA quality. Smaller teams will take their base if not.
I mean… they have PTS testers who volunteer their time.
(Who reported these issues and were summarily ignored)
I have been reporting issues on PTS for over 11 years and not once is my ticket ever answered or acknowledged outside the standard reply... I sometimes see my feedback on the patch notes but most I never hear from again. I understand everyone is busy and you cant reply to everything but there should be some kind of community issue log we can view in game so we can see what has been raised and what has been addressed but then we are talking full transparency right.
I reported in-game that the Phase 2 boss was spawning in Phase 1 and here we are today with the same issue, just give me access to DEV and let me fix it myself
