ZOS, THANK YOU for providing event dates farther in advance than you used to

Sachsen71 · September 2024

I complain about a lot of things that ZOS does or doesn't do. But I also like to give credit when due. We used to complain that ZOS didn't give us event dates until just a day or two before the event actually started. It was either last year or the year before, we were constantly left guessing when holiday events and the like would actually begin. ZOS, you are doing MUCH better this year. Sharing dates a full month in advance for things like the Witches Festival is so helpful and appreciated. And I am LOVING the new infographics that show the "road map" for the month. Whoever came up with those should be congratulated.

Anyway, thank you again, keep it up!

I have to agree, but the articles for the events still seem to be slow to publish or even late, I have not seen any article on the Explorer's event other than a brief mention of it. No details published other than it will be extended by 9 days... when was it supposed to end originally? What are the bonuses this year? What can we expect during the event? Witches Festival should be starting up in like 3 weeks

for event details you could always check pts patch notes from when the event was tested.

here's the patch notes from Witches Festival testing:

Whitestrake's Mayhem:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/667009/pts-patch-notes-v10-2-3#latest

the next 4 updates will probably be:
- update 45 pts tests Jester's Festival and Jubilee,
- update 46 pts tests Zeal of Zenithar and Whitestrake's Mayhem.
- update 47 pts tests Undaunted, new chapter celebration event, and Witches Festival.
- update 48 pts tests likely a returning Necrom celebration, New Life, another unknown celebration, and Whitestrake's Mayhem.

unless zos changes when they do events that is how it'll keep going,
with the only changes being which part of the game the celebration events celebrate.

That's pretty much how the events fall out, but the part that I was mentioning is the articles they post for the events. They used to have the articles out at least a couple days before they were coming out, now it's hit or miss.
