Survey Reports

Garetth

Today was the 10th day that I have done the clothing, blacksmith, woodwork, and alchemy writs as a level V14 and I have not received a single survey report. That's 40 "tries" with nothing.

It was never like this before and this isn't RNG...40 attempts with zero hits. What the f&*k is wrong with ZOS? They can't seem to find their a$$ with both hands.

I do all 6 writs each day on my main (just because I want the achievement points) and since the latest patch, I've gotten 0 BS surveys, 0 Wood surveys and 1 Clothing survey. I still get Alchemy and Enchanting surveys regularly though. The drop rate for BS, Wood and Clothing surveys has been nerfed into the ground in addition to dropping the nirncrux drop rate from surveys down to 1% (or whatever it is).

Truly a waste of time and I'll stop doing them when I get to the 250 achievement.

It's so hit and miss with these writs. I can get three surveys in three days or nothing for over a week. It's pretty much a waste of time doing them. It's the same with farming nodes in upper Craglorn. I had never had a nirn stone drop since it was introduced and thats farming a crap load. Then yesterday I had two drop in the space of four nodes (two separate log ins). Random to the most inconsistent degree.

Random numbers and chances...There is no guarantee at all. I get about 1 report each day. And I found nirncrux. I've been lucky with reports so I was able to trade 21 stones for nirnhoned items. Stones are rare, but they are supposed to be. Since the fix of BS reports I found two of them. And I had to dig up a *** of mats for that.

I got 4 out of 6 surveys for one character yesterday. So yes, it is just RNG.

I even got a Nirncrux from one of the wood nodes I hit from the survey. Only one mind you, but better than nothing.

I'm not subbed and I haven't had a single survey report for DAYS. I do daily crafting writs over multiple characters every day. I'm beginning to suspect they're gonna be a an ESO+ exclusive before long. Which just shows that Zen likes it's p2w.

I'm not going back to farming, I CAN'T GO BACK TO FARMING, I've been farming for 4 GDMF years and I'm sick of it.

Daily crafting writs should leave you with a new positive of materials. Even if it's a tiny increace.

Dude, stop necroing threads. It's just rng.

Yup, stop this... It's still rng after all this time.
I have a sub, I do writs daily with 7 chars. And there are days I don't get one single survey across all 7 chars...
