PTS Update 47 - Feedback Thread for Undaunted Celebration

ZOS_Kevin · July 15

This is the official feedback thread for the Undaunted Celebration Event. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

How do you feel about the distribution of rewards during this event?
Did anything not function to your expectations?
Do you have any other general feedback?

Reposting from another thread now that there is an official thread for the Undaunted Celebration:

So, this is about the Undaunted event. Or rather, about the Undaunted in general.

Urgarlag still gives the uncracked transmute geodes instead of the set value ones, meaning that doing a DLC HM pledge gives significantly fewer transmutes than a basegame HM pledge. This was changed without a patch note when the key rewards were changed in U41, and still has never been addressed.

Also, the releases of the Undaunted Arms packs and their styles have severely slowed down. UESP has a list of when each was available (reprinted below for convenience), but it can be seen how much fewer we're getting over time... or rather how the release windows are getting shorter and the gaps where none are available are increasing.

The most important thing to note is that the releases of new styles is not even keeping up with the number of dungeons released. In reverse order, the last four first-run styles we've gottenare:
Roksa the Warped, April 2025

The Blind, July 2024

Kargaeda, Sept 2023

Kjalnar's Nightmare, Dec 2022

That's one per year. We're used to 4 dungeons a year since 2018, with the exception of only 2 per year in 2023 and 2024. The releases of the styles can't even keep up with that.

Another thing to not from this list - it's very inconsistent how long styles return for. The general seems to be one or two weeks, but there have been some returns for all of 3 days. Also notable is the period from Oct 24, 2024 and Jan 6, 2025 during which no Arms packs were available.

At present, there are 7 dungeons whose monster arms packs have never been released, which means their associated helm/shoulder styles have never been made available. In order of release of the respective dungeon:
Stone Husk, Q3 2020

Magma Incarnate, Q3 2021

Archdruid Devyric, Q3 2022

Ozezan the Inferno, Q1 2023

Anthelmir's Construct, Q1 2024

Squall of Retribution, Q1 2025

Orpheon the Tactitian, Q1 2025

We've got one which is 5 years old at this point, and still has never been released. I know personally, I'm waiting for Devyric's to be available so I can use those styles in an outfit.

Please convince the art team and store team to get their acts together and release these on a more regular schedule. There are enough arms packs now that we should never not have a returning one available, and the missing new ones should be sure to make it into the store for a first run at the very longest within a year of release.
