You ever see the cable episode of South Park? Where they actually enjoy the myriad of issues. Sometimes when the game is just broken from tons of stuff that should've never made it to live, I think, do they actually like it like this? I know the answer is no but it happens so often that you gotta wonder.

Agreed. Maybe it's job security or something?

Can we please get a confirmation the event will be extended? This would go a long way to helping right now.

We are discussing some options, and we'll have an update early next week. We need to dig into what is possible with how the event is set up, so it's not something I could personally answer today.

As a general note to everyone, we do see your posts here and acknowledge the ongoing issues you are reporting and the frustration they are causing. While we do have folks continuing to look into these issue over the weekend, it's unlikely we will have any fixes until Monday at the earliest.

ZoS owes your PAYING CUSTOMERS a huge apology for this event.

And I still want a refund for this year’s “Season Pass”. See above.

Please take a moment to study this fine apology (and compensation!) by Ludia for a recent debacle. Learn something from it and try again. "We see and acknowledge" is not enough.

I'm so sad and disappointed. @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

The poll does not claim to represent every single player. What it does show is that among those motivated enough to engage, frustration is overwhelming compared to enjoyment. That is valuable feedback in itself, because engaged players are the ones who sustain guilds, organize events, and keep communities active.

Hence the bias. The desire to complain far out-weighs the desire to compliment.

You know how everyone is lamenting the downfall of New World? How there was a spate of posts here recently praising it and and how ZOS should learn from what NW did? Go to the NW forums, before the announcement they were moving to maintenance mode, and you'll see a litany of the same complaints you see here, in the same sort of numbers.

Listen for a second ok. Just listen.

Probably vast majority of us posting on these forums are fans of the game. We play regularly and have done so for a while. It doesn't mean new folks aren't welcome, in fact it would be nice if more people who played ESO would come here and comment.

When an opinion is provided, most of the time it's because we care about the game. Ok. If we didn't care, then we wouldn't come here. Alright. In fact, I would say it's hard enough to get people to care these days about the things that they should be doing, much less a video game, but here we are. Not out of hate. Out of concern and our love for ESO. That's why many have put in time on the forums. None other reason other than that, unless it's a streamer or whatever and I can't speak to that.

The OP, when opening this thread, they decided to bundle and label everyone with criticism, by extension anyone who disagreed with them as haters. Ok, that's not nice either. In fact, that's a great way to ensure no one follows you. Your first message to the community is one completely lacking any form of empathy or compassion for those like me who don't agree with them, but then they put it on us for getting mad about their selfish, self-centered and apathetic behavior.

People aren't dumb. People will be people, but many of us have put in so much time and money on this game, plus people we've met/known, for years and so we just don't want to see it get flushed down the drain ok. Pardon us for caring. We're so sorry we care enough to spend our time and energy posting online, not to mention all the time and money invested in this game. Our opinions matter and as long as some keep pretending, we don't exist, then there's always going to be this giant gap between the people playing/paying for this game and the selfish apathetic crowd who think it's their right to lock us out.

And that's exactly what they're doing and so here we are. Pardon us all for caring and having a heart for ESO and not agreeing with people like this OP person trying to lock us out. Most would agree we can't help what happened to New World either. Amazon just did it because they can. But I have seen several well-known streamers still running vids about the game and producing new content for it. The fans didn't give up on New World, Amazon did. Just like their workers. Why the fans guilty?

So... either the instance is completely empty of anything except other players, or we're stuck at the final boss and nothing is happening. >.>

After 8 or 9 attempts to find a non-buggy instance, I still couldn't complete the quest or find Skordo (twice). I can't say I didn't try.
The idea was very cool on paper, but completely mis-executed.

I'm done with this half-finished event and this half-translated update.

Typically, I encourage these kinds of events and also encourage others to engage in them and be patient. This one has broken me, one disappointment after another.

Gave up trying to do the Fortress today, as the Infernium just bugged out and blocked progress, *again*.

I truly hope this is a one time event.

I very much enjoyed it, but I do think that having it active for only a week is a waste. Especially since 2025 was a very light year of content.

It seems like it'd be easy to retrofit the Fortress into being a standard 12-man trial, and in fact I feel like that would have been a lot more fun to be able to figure out mechanics instead of blundering around in a zerg and finding one was already mostly finished.

Yeah, I was lucky and was in the first group on PCNA right at open. I really think there should be an initial lobby, with like, a number of players, or a 5 min timer before the fighting starts, and don't let new people into that instance (unless grouped and porting directly). That makes sure that people get to play the whole thing. Bringing it back with a couple tweaks would be really cool.

I've had to run the public dungeon Writhing Fortress twice - the first time I couldn't hand in the quest as Skordo was absent, the second time the boss is bugged at 73% just before the Soul Spire, before you can cross via grapple to the final stage.

I am so utterly sick and tired of this season's event. I have never ever known a game with so many bugs, so poorly thought through, and so badly managed. 2025 has been an appalling year for ESO. And more than anything I'm utterly sick of "we're investigating".

So, @ZOS_GinaBruno or @ZOS_Kevin - how do I get a refund? I'm done with it. Seriously. I bought this on three accounts and I just can't run this garbage even one more time, for no rewards, only for something to be bugged, broken, or just plain not up to standard. I'd like my money back, three times over, and I'll happily drop Solstice and never set foot there again.

Bugged. Ballista stop doing any damage after knocking the thing down to 90% health. Left to play a different game, not playing a buggy mess, limited time or not.
