✭✭✭✭✭Awesome! I enjoy events, but this seems a decent length of time to me, especially if there are going to be decorations, as there were for the Witches’ Festival, a shorter time makes them more fun and special IMHO. Plus, with the rotation of past event rewards, no one needs to feel that they have missed their last chance to unlock the collectibles.1 -

ninibini✭✭✭✭Christmas is the time where things slow down and most people have more time. so it was nice that it was longer.
This feels more like making people buy more tickets from the crown store4 -

https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/648645/new-life-festival-starting-this-thursday/p1We haven't announced dates for the event yet. We are working on announcement article stuff now. So keep your eyes open for the next week or so for more info.
But we are not cutting the event short. It will be inline with our other event lengths.
Was this said in the context of it being inline with other non-New Life events? Disappointed that this year's Festival is so short comparatively
Still waiting for answers about class set aura behavior, and also hoping that one day hair dyeing will be an option. We know it's canon thanks to a book in the Manor of Masques! (House of Reveries: The Troupe)

Arizona_Steve✭✭✭✭✭So basically we're getting screwed out of 17-18 tickets...
Edit: Can I suggest making an extra ticket available each day? I know many of us make plans around New Life to get the items we want.

JiveSalts✭✭To my understanding, New Life is meant to be a sort of make-up event for those that missed out on event ticket during a previous event, hence why all the year's collectables are able to be gotten during it. With this New Life being so much shorter, it defeats the purpose of that. Is there any explanation why this year is so much shorter?Part-time tank, full-time failure5 -
SHRMarkSoul ShrivenWhy so short this year? I enjoyed New Life as it was more about being in the festive season a couple of weeks before Christmas (similar to how other games have a Holiday event on now).
If ZOS wanted to drive increase sales of event tickets then I would have preferred a reduction in daily ticket awards rather than a reduction in event time.
I hope next year (10 year anniversary) we get a full length New Life and maybe some additional achievements for each of the races quests. Something wacky like steal honey from Hearth Wife’s pantry etc… Not much dev time but has an impact on fans of New Life.
EDIT: I do feel someone has dropped the ball on this event internally. The Crown Store items were all timed to start on the 14th (as previous years tradition) and either something went haywire or the event team didn’t communicate with the crown store team?Edited by SHRMark on 18 December 2023 17:501 -

Not only that, New Life being longer helps make up for missed days due to holiday real life things.6 -

✭Thanks for posting New Life event details several days before the event!
I'm surprised to see that the event is both shorter in days and in tickets compared to previous years New Life events.
Probably won't impact me, I just checked in with the assistant to Impresario, and it looks like I already have the personality, skin, and costume for this year. I have a full inventory of event tickets now, so I should have end up with enough tickets to get the three Hoardhunter Ursauk mount fragments, and two style pages for the Morningstar Frostwear if I need to buy some because of expected lousy RNG drop rate from event dailies. But other folks that are missing stuff for this year and trying to catch up will be shorted. Why less tickets?0 -

Storefronts all have their own requirements. It's kinda like Walmart and Target. They have sales around the same time, but they don't start at the same time.
