Latest 2 events feedback, and some thoughts in general

Yas78 · January 30

Okay, you run new 'event'.
I go to Announcements in Main Menu, open up this Event page, click on 'Go to crown store', it redirects me to DLC section, which is empty.
I go to Events page in crown store, and there is nothing related to this event, only ticket sale.
I go to Quest starters and see only Margins of Ire, which is definitely not related to this event.
So how exactly do I participate?
If there is some method to join the event - then why it is different this time? All usual menus we used to use over the years say nothing about this event.
Okay, regardin previous 'event'.
How exactly do you compose daily quests requirements and rewards?
You know, crafting 12 'food' items is MUCH more easily done than crafting 12 'furniture' items. MUCH EASIER. These dailies are extremely unbalanced!
I dare to assume very few of us have a stockpile of Heartwood and Nickel, to be able to afford crafting all day long for 3 weeks daily!
And its NOT EASY to just gather more! Heartwood is a rare drop, it doesnt come en masse!
I just would like to understand the thought process: same quest, same reward, but one day its easy to submit, and other day its somewhat hard. How do you assign numbers, why its 12 bedrolls, not 1 or 3, but exactly 12?
I can craft 12 'food' items with only 3 ingredient spent, but on 'furniture' items its very expensive because we dont have crafting multiplier we can spend skill point on and be more effective.
Now, look. Events are supposed to be fun and entertaining, correct me if I'm wrong.
Ongoing event - its not obvious how to join, because 'usual places' have nothing related.
I can search the Internet, yes, but why should I? Cant YOU instead place event join quest where those ALWAYS BEEN?
Previous event, its been 3 weeks daily mindless grind, I started too late so I got NOTHING in the end, meanwhile spending ~500k GOLD on heartwood to craft your silly 12 bedrolls daily.
Now, did I have fun? You tell me. I lost significant amount of gold, which is not easy to obtaine for filthy casual like myself, I lost 2 hours daily for ~3 weeks of my only life to get a nothingburger in the end.
Good thing you actually managed to post a notice where to buy crafting recipes, so 'free market' dont show its ugly face, scamming newbies for 30k gold per recipe instead of only 150 gold at NPC.
2 years is way too long time to fix the event, dont you think? I wonder if same person receives paycheck every month still, doing lazy job that is absolutely not acceptable, because here is your customer and you screw him over and over again, repeatedly, and he is angry this time so he actually takes time to let steam out on your forum.

Event is not your thing. Dont do it, just dont.

Fix your forum also already.
If I have no notifications, then why there's red circle with a number inside it?

you are using the Internet by using the forums. you can find the event info on the forums:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/672104/official-discussion-thread-for-pan-tamriel-celebration-in-game-event/p1

or on the ESO website:
https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/67351

info for the Pan Tamriel Celebration is also in the Help tab in-game, you go to Tutorials, Events, and you'll find it somewhere in the list.

as for previous event, New Life Festival, the only thing you needed to do for tickets is one daily quest from Breda or Petronius Galenus from the festival tent in Eastmarch.

As you talk about crafting 12 food items or furnishings i assume you are referring to the Festival writs, they aren't exactly necessary.
You can also get the Skaal Explorer or Rkindaleft outfit styles from Guild Stores or Guild Banks.

I'm not reading through wall of text just to figure out how to join this event because some employee decided why not do things differently this time, players would definitely like it searching.
If its not in Events or Quest Starters - then there's no event.

You don’t have to do the christmas writs, its just for an achievement. That said, events are rather lacklustre. I’d like to see more optional interactive activities that show up during events, like snowball pvp during new life (could reskin it as mudball pvp during jesters). Maybe reuse the MGF cube mechanic and let us push a pumpkin through a corn maze for halloween, or reuse the scaring crows mechanic from CWC to make a “scare off the most crows within x amount of time” minigame.

every event gets an event post.
it's not "some employee" that decides these things nor is it different this time.

and you can always use the 'Find in Page' feature that most browsers and search "Ticket" in the event posts to look for how to get event tickets.

You know, I have some legit doubt about ESO now, but god are some consumers really weird.

Are you that lost in everything you do in your life ?

Junk Events, just being honest.
