So, I'm on Xbox NA. Subscribed to ESO Plus. Have purchased Elsweyr but obviously can't play it yet. On my maxed out NB, I rarely if ever get surveys any more. Every day, "shipment of ____" in the box, or a white/green glyph I won't use, or a green recipe I already have, but no surveys. Crafting writs are pretty rare too. Lower level secondary characters on this account get more surveys than the maxed out main. I haven't taken the time to count them so I can't give specific numbers.

I have a second account with ESO+ but no Summerset or Elsweyr. Very low level crafting. She also rarely gets surveys but gets more than my maxed out character. I would transfer the surveys to my main if I could but they are bound.

I have Elsweyr and am getting a lot of surveys. I’m glad Gina let us know they are looking at it, but I’ll keep crafting for my doubles until it is fixed. 😉

I do feel bad for others and actually hope it gets fixed soon, even if it is currently benefitting me personally.

I've gotten a few but the odd thing is the one I got for BS Elsweyr is just a foggy blank overlay when I open it.

What about the character bound surveys? Are they intentional? Because they're bloody annoying.

What do you mean ? Don't tell me they are now character bound ?

They're not. I believe Potoroo misspoke, because the surveys are account bound, as they always have been.

I read somewhere that if you purchase Elsweyr the crafting survey "problem" fixes itself nearly instantly.

Possible. I do not own Elsweyr expansion, but I'm planning to buy it anyway, so I might just do that today to test. If I get doubles, like others say, I'll take it as a form of compensation for not getting anything for the past three days .

I got random packs full of collectors edition maps for collectors editions I don't have O.o;

That's the Any Race/Any Alliance upgrade. I'm not sure why the maps in those are marked as "CE," because they were originally a preorder bonus, and not attached to The Imperial Edition.

EDIT: Wait, that might be because you got the Morrowind and Summerset CE upgrades with your Elsweyr upgrade. Again, I'm not exactly sure what's going on there, but that's a nice perk for preordering.

Except those maps usually don't even have set gear and are meant for new players.

The maps themselves are kinda, "eh, whatever," some of the other things like the Warden outfit and parts of the Divine Prosecution style are kinda cool looking.

haven't noticed a difference then again I run writs on multiple alts.

Been getting Elsweyr surveys though not going to bother with those till an add on, shows me where to go, got no desire to go hunting for the specific location based on vague info.

Too many surveys and maps in this game for that nonsense, how hard is it to include a simple filter to show where to go, if people want to follow the clues let them turn it off.

Breaking news: RNG will RNG. Also, water is wet. More updates as situation progresses.

Literally not reading a thread and making a smart ass comment is pretty *** of you.

UPDATE: ZOS HAS CONFIRMED ALREADY, IN THIS THREAD!!!!, THAT THERE IS A BUG.

You just look like an ass.

So there's a "bug" where you don't get survey reports if you haven't bought the new DLC?

...a "bug"?

...from the company that is now selling skyshards and giving you notifcations about items you can purchase in the crown store. A "bug"... reeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyy?

Don't go the way of 76, Zenimax. I'm already extremely apprehensive about ever buying another game from a studio affiliated with Bethesda Softworks.

My guess, based on your information is that you are not on PC.

That´s not true. My second account - without ESO+ and without Elsweyr - gets surveys.


Edit (so people don´t have to guess): PC/EU

ZoS said that "A combination of DLC's seem to be causing a bug" So perhaps you have the correct combination that DOESN'T have the bug. I'm sure ZoS would like to know what combination you have!

I’ve had the opposite happen to my chars. Have been receiving about twice the normal surveys the last 2 days and many double drops (e.g., 2 blacksmithing surveys from the same box). Also received a Woodworking survey for Elsweyr, but it might be bugged. When I try to use it, the screen goes slightly out of focus but no map or description comes up on the screen.

This! I had many double surveys from 1 box these last 2 days. I do writs with my 11 characters

I'd have already bought the DLC by now, if it didn't cost £30. It's not even the whole land of Elsweyr. It's about the size of Murkmire and you want £30 for it??

Disgusting.

And when you gonna fix the bug? Btw I'M on PC and I'm getting this "you no buy new DLC? you no got survey reports!" bug. FIX IT.

Do the Elsweyr surveys work normally for people? I only have one in inventory currently, woodworking, and when I try to use it my screen just gets blurry but I don't have the image of the rough map or anything really.

They don’t work for me either. I disabled all addons and they still don’t work. There’s a thread in bug report forum about this, but no word from ZOS on this.
