Official Discussion Thread for "Battle for Bonus Rewards during Whitestrake’s Mayhem

This is the official discussion thread for the web article "Battle for Bonus Rewards during Whitestrake’s Mayhem"

"ESO’s premier PvP event returns with a refit this August, granting bolstered rewards for Tamriel’s warriors."

ZOS_JessicaFolsom · August 5

Hello! As an FYI for everyone, Trade Bars are currently being granted as rewards during Whitestrakes Mayhem. This was not intended, and we will be turning them off as a reward on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy the extra rewards!

Nothing screams premier PvP event with boosted rewards quite like announcing that one of the boosted rewards is unintended. ZOS finally creates a reason to participate—and immediately schedules the fix. Enjoy your brief, unauthorized outbreak of generosity!

That's great news!

I also changed a little bit that official art (with the help of Gemini), so now it better reflects what is happening on the event.

The PvE crowd finally got their wish - no reason to engage with the MYM event, as trade bars aren't even given out.

Seriously? The removal was a slap in the face to begin with. But after noticing a failure to enact that removal - the team finds it prudent that these are removed before this event can even run it's course?

I mean, the event ends on Wednesday, why even bother turning the trade bars rewards off on Monday?

Before Tomes/Veterancy event tickets were a somewhat scarce resource but now with no 'storage limit' and plentiful sources... why not let people have their fun?

Is just two more days for Z'en's sake...

Clearly, “we love our community” doesn’t include anyone in PVP. Congratulations ZOS, now off to emergency to get that gunshot to both feet looked at.

Just started playing BGs again and one of the first matches the entire lobby is only dragonknights and sorcerers

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom they are? I didn’t get any for ic quest.

2/3 of pop plays dk and rest WW...great balance ZOS

I won't complain because there are trade bars and new style pages in Veterancy.

Vhellcat · 12:56AM

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom as shalalaA7X mentioned - I didn't get any either, I turned in an IC quest. The 'accidental' Trade Bars, is it still split between an IC quest and a Cyro/BG quest?

Update: Also turned in a Cyro quest and no Trade Bars there either

I did mine this morning (AEST time) no trade bars, no new styles, no new anything in the reward boxes. All three accounts got rewards in both Imperial City and Cyrodiilq,. I will think about what I will do tomorrow, there is no reason I can see to do both any more. Not being interested in PVP the Veterancy thing is unlikely to be that rewarding for me.

same.. i did a daily for imp city and cyro and did not got any trade bars..

i guess i can skip this event then..

Taarente · 6:32AM

So lets get this straight @ZOSJessicaFolsom The impresario is selling some fairly rare style pages for trade bars. The event this is tied to doesn't give you trade bars, the only way to get trade bars at the moment is to not do the event but just do whatever Tome quests are out there, earn enough points to go spend them on tradebars and then go spend them at the Impresario? I'm assuming someone within ZOS approved all of this? I'd like to know what genius level process led to this absolutely stunning piece of rationale.

Veteran players are dropped out of the event.
No new rewards, no bars/tickets.
OK.

newnamtab · 8:00AM

Holy s... there's much to spend your gold bars on..
(or try to find in those boxes)

That's super awesome.
Guess I'll have to try my luck, once more, with the PvP genre.
No high hopes, though..
Still can't figure it out..
Just go in there and die, trying to get somewhere..
Oh well, some people, seem to have figured it out and likes it, and don't die instantly.
Would be nice with some sort of ingame training sandbox, that would explain how not to die,
and maybe how to die the other players..
Alas.. I digress..

Why can't we buy the "Withered Antlers" now in this event?
Seems like an appropriate time to make it available for purchase, for those that didn't get it in the thousands of boxes during the "Zeal of Zenithar" event.

Where are the temporary campaigns?

I have no interest in playing Vengeance and queue times for GH or BR on PCEU were anywhere between 40mins-1hr.

Please add the temporary campaigns.
