What is Your Favorite Dynamic Encounter?

What is your favorite dynamic encounter, and why?

For me, I like the Vampire Hunt encounter the most. I've heard some people in zone chat say they dislike it because it is too long, but I think I appreciate the roleplay and journey aspect of tracking down a vampire. Putting on suits of armor to destroy things are cool too. My only complaint is that there is often a gargoyle that gets stuck on a tree stump that artificially prolongs the encounters longer, which I hope gets fixed.

I like the Blisa's Delivery as well, being a Dunmeri take on the Little Red Riding Hood story. We have a red haired dunmer in red clothing and a grandma who is actually the big bad wolf at the end. Fun.

My least favorite is Flowervine Farm. The encounter itself is fun, but I feel like it has the least interesting rewards. Blisa's Delivery has alternate werewolf transformation skins, and the vampire hunt has a blood scion skin. Is there a unique reward for the farm?

I do appreciate the effort the developers made for these events, but I do hope we get a timer somewhere to tell when they are about to go up.

The one I actually come across.

Vampire Hunt (Glenumbra)

Vampire hunt, because it's the only one that failed for me so far. Also, just about every time I run it, I get a bounty at some point.

Like the dog, though.

(Oops, for some reason I thought the poll was about our least favourite. My favourite would be the Stonefalls one. Nice and short with a good twist at the end.)

Bilsa's Delivery (Stonefalls)

out of the 3 i think the red riding hood take is pretty entertaining

the vampire one is kind of meh, it just feels like im doing a story quest in western skyrim again

the last one in auridon was not really fun at all

The one with less players participating.

None.
The wasted time on just waiting around for the spawn is mindboggling - I now resorted to windowing ESO and watching videos, while keeping an eye on ESO.
That just can't be the right way of playing ESO...

Each event is on a 30 minute timer. So when you finish one event, that event will come back up after 30 minutes, so you can pay attention to the clock and not stand around with nothing to do.

As for the question, I can't tell - there were so many players around that I didn't get to see much of what was happening, esp. in Stonefalls and Glenumbra.

I have done the Vampire Hunt about a dozen times because that's the only one I can ever seem to get to before it's over. I couldn't tell you what the burning farm objective actually is. By the time I get there and pick up a bucket, it's over. So far, none of them have stood out, but that's mostly because of how quickly they end rather than the encounter itself.

I actually really like the story/idea of them all. At first, I wanted to say the vampire hunt because Daisy! But then I realized that Bilsa has Brayco who is an adorable donkey. And then I did Auridon and got to rescue horses. (You might be sensing a trend)

I am kind of looking forward to when these are a little less populated though. I've yet to see what actually attacks Bilsa, for example. It'll be interesting to see how the scaling works when they've worn off a bit of the shiny.

I still have no idea what is happening at any of them. But hey, I agree it's dynamic. Just not in the way I thought.

The final fight before the battle against the vampire takes place right next to a Lion Guard camp, so this bounty is usually caused by accidentally attacking one of the guards.

Agreed. These "events" are just hurry up and wait content. It's fundamentally bad design and wastes our time.
