Official Discussion Thread for "Unlock New Rewards Together During The Bounties of Blackwood Event"

✭✭✭✭✭Are the Devs going to address the fact that ESO+ members are getting absolutely zero reward at the end of all this?
This will blow over, and in 2 weeks most people won't care. (Most people probably don't care, now.
) By this time next month, we will be back to complaining about lag, performance, combat imbalance, or whatever else may come up, and this will be all but forgotten.

- A pet
- Body Markings
- Bounty Boxes with the Ogrim and Harmonizable crafting station (and more)

✭✭✭✭✭The Pellucid Swamp Jelly pet, unlocked at 33%
The Shadows of Blackwood markings, unlocked at 66%
The Deadlands DLC and a cascading bounty box, unlocked at 100%
With a chance to include items such as Undaunted Plunder, rare materials, or item sets, and guaranteed to include attunable crafting stations and a unique Ogrim target dummy
Extremely underwhelming for subscribers. The only thing I'm "excited" about are the crafting stations. Would def have preferred a new, reasonably sized for decorating, house.
And what's with the wingless griffin from the Impresario? While I'm fine with there not being flying pets (but if not I def feel none of those Altmer NPCs in Summerset should have them! LOL) it would have been neat to have one that at least glided along the surface terrain. Instead I just feel sad for this poor deformed wingless griffin all the other griffins are no doubt laughing at. But that's less tickets I need to grind for and I'm not going to buy them at the last minute to get the sad misshapen creature either. It's sad because otherwise he looks pretty awesome.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!1 -

Still very underwhelming. Would it have killed them to include mounts? I don't even like the mounts that are typically in the gamble boxes but at least those would have made a lot of people happy. Now to make ME happy they could throw in, say, a house of your choice. LOLPAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!0 -

Mounts are always coming out. They are hardly anything special, at this point. Target dummies are more uncommon than mounts, and the crafting station is even more unusual.

That actually depends on a zone. I have done Vvardenfell, Clockwork, Hew's Bane, Summerset by other characters that have appropriate backstory. Otherwise Summerset is so much better than other zones that I prefer not to leave it, except for new releases.The Three Storm Sharks, episode 8 released on january the 8th.

Pyr0xyrecuprotite✭✭✭✭✭Great idea about adding a bonus challenge now that we've hit 100% of the original target - I like it. (Deadlands DLC zone is now "free" for all current owners of Blackwood, since we hit 100% as of October 8). However, I'm a bit confused as to what we're actually working towards. Can someone please clarify if they have more information?
The new challenge is to kill world bosses in the Blackwood zone. For each 25% that the meter hits, the "Explorer's Celebration" mini-event will run (across all zones in Tamriel) for two days. So, presumably it will last between 0 and 8 days, depending on how many Blackwood bosses we kill, and how the new meter is calibrated.
What exactly is the "Explorer's Celebration" though"? is it the same as last year's event of the same name in November, i.e. no event tickets, but double XP, double gold, and double resource node drops?

Yes, that is my understanding also. There are no Impresario event tickets during the Explorer event
Hopefully this Explorer event is after update 32 goes live.

EchoesofThunder✭✭✭So, the Bounties of Blackwood page says "Hunt down and defeat Blackwood's world bosses from now until October 12 and for every 25% of meter progress, we'll run the Explorer's Celebration for two days. This bonus mini-event will go live for every zone in Tamriel, so get out there and slay some monsters!"
What does that last sentence mean (This bonus min-event will go live for every zone in Tamriel...)? Will we get Legate boxes & increased drops in every zone??1 -

The legate boxes are specific to the Blackwood event. The Explorer’s Celebration will entail double XP, double gold and double resources in EVERY zone. Hope that helps! 2 -

If you don't claim the reward in time, you get nada.
Not to mention there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what ESO+ gives. The membership every month or year... whatever, gives access to everything the game has to offer, but just that, access.. not ownership. If ESO+ is dropped and they haven't purchased a chapter or DLC they like, they will not have access to anything other than the version of ESO they purchased.*You can save up your crowns and buy the ones you want and own them.*
I'm FTP but I own all the story zones and DLC zones except for Southern Elsweyr and Markarth (I finished them over the last 2 years during ESO+ free trial periods). Money is always tight, but I don't mind spending $30-60 a year for permanent access to the zones."DIE, - by my hand, I creep across the land... killing just for me!"0 -

The "fee DLC"-part really makes me raise my eyebrow. That is a no-gainer for us ESO+-folks, because we have always been given free passage to DLC-areas. So we get for free what we would get for fee anyways!? Yay?0
