@ZOS_Kevin Also please be advised, January 9th is a Tuesday. Article says it’s a Wednesday. Sorry for the nitpick, just trying to avoid confusion down the line!

Thanks for this. We'll update that now.

Steam announcement still says "Wednesday, January 9, 2024" @ZOS_Kevin

Thanks! Just updated it.

With the whopping 60 Event Tickets, I guess it is save to say that at least new motive pages should be quite cheap at the guild traders lol

Thank you!! I’m really glad to hear about the extra event tickets because for the past few events my luck at getting the new motif pages has not been like it in the past and I’ve had to get some motifs from the Impressario. This will really help!

Thank you @ZOS_Kevin and the team, Happy Holidays to you all!

My cynical side says this was a business move. To shorten the event, and if people noticed and made a fuss, it gave ZOS an opportunity to look good in the players’ eyes.

But either way, idc. I’m just grateful it got extended.

I'll also go for cynicism - and gratefulness.

Soooo thanks

The USA version of the event page https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/65233 also says it finishes on a Wednesday.

Thank you for extending the festival! I'm sure a lot of players will be busy during the holidays and also trying to finish their fragments for the collectibles, so it's really awesome to have plenty of time

So, in other words... a bunch of people made fun of those of us who preemptively complained that the festival might be shortened and said that we were stupid to gripe about hypotheticals. And then they did, in fact try to shorten the festival... but ended up leaving it the original length specifically because of those of us who complained in advance.

Hmmm. Sounds like some people owe some other people some apologies.

carthalis

that is awesome, thank you

Dang it! We missed that one. We'll have to change that after we're back from the holiday, since that team is enjoying their time with friends and family. Thank you for spotting the other Wednesday.

This is good, because otherwise I was going to only get two days in for this New Life Festival due to holiday travel. And that was going to cost me the final rewards that I've been working towards this year.

I do have one question - why does the event end at 10AM ET? This makes it hard for those of us on the West coast to get the last day's tickets before the event ends. Wouldn't it be better for the event to end at the same time the daily quests roll over?

Hi

Thank you very much - that is a very nice gift for the new year

Hi Everyone! We wanted to give you a heads up that due to a scheduled maintenance for all megaservers on Wednesday, January 3rd, we are extending the New Life Festival. Normally, we would extend the event by one day to account for the maintenance, however we have also seen player requests asking for a longer event, inline with past New Life Festivals, so we have decided to extend the event by six days.

This will change the end date from Wednesday, January 3 at 10:00am ET to Tuesday, January 9 at 10:00am ET. Additionally, this increases the amount of earnable tickets from 42 to 60. These changes are now reflected in the New Life Festival blog post. Thanks so much and enjoy the extra days of the New Life Festival!

Can you extend the time on the things in the crown store as well? I have 15,975 Endeavors I want to get the Celestial Ram. After today I would have enough.

I missed this announcement until now, partially because I've been away, but I just wanted to say I really appreciate the extension.

Like many people I suspect December is a busy month for me. This year, among other things, I left home to go to my parents on the morning of the 22nd December, came home late on the 28th and was out again from the 29th to the 1st then back at work on the 2nd, so with the original schedule I had 3 evenings to play the event, and had to fit that around other things I needed to do.

With the extension I'll actually be able to play the event properly, not just rushing a quest for a few event tickets but actually taking the time to play through all of them, which I like to do at least once a year since it's one of the few events with it's own activities.

Someday I would love changes in the rewards.

CoronHR

that's great. however, what am i gonna spend all these tickets on lol??

fine, i'll buy repair kits

centime

A bit late, didn't see this until now as my focus has been on the game, not the forum (though I am aware you can do both).

Anyway, just wanted to add my thanks for the extension. Makes sense that it would be in line with past festivals.

Thank you, ZOS, and Happy New Year!

Bumping this for the Dev Tracker since the in-game image isn't updated, but the New Life Festival has been extended to Jan. 9th. Original update quoted below.
