navigante.annalisab16_ESO

Hi,

i just logged in EU server and i notice that pluder skull i get stop count for Achievement.
Can you please look in the issue?
Id like to finish my achievement.

Thanks

Not the only person. It looks like picking up Plunder skulls is no longer adding to the number collected for the 100 Skulls Achievement.

Yes, noticed this after signing back in after maintenance. Gained 3 skulls but the counter has not moved from 85. Submitted a ticket in game.

I did same, let's hope they answer...i was checking event time and was not supposed to finish today

Praetorrus

Can confirm. I need just 1 skull to complete achievement but killing bosses and looting skulls doesn't count now. Fix pls!

Linaleah

yep, same NA server.I didn't notice until the second looted skull, but then I waiting to kill another boss, just to verify and nope - counter not moving. to be perfectly honest at this point the only reason I keep farming the skulls is for the achievement.

Thank you, someone in NA PC zone chat in Malabal Tor asked if they were experiencing this and I was able to repro the bug.

Will we gain the skulls we earned retroactively?

This and the unplanned extended maintenance really make it difficult for those of us that can only play a little bit each day to complete the achievement. Could you maybe look into extending the festival a bit?

Oh man, happening for me on NA also. I didn't even look until I had done a bunch more thinking hey I'll just grind out the rest of these today. What a bummer!

Oh. Yay.

Heard the rumours and did two dolmen. Got the Plunder skulls. Counter for the achievement did not increment. Logged out and back in and no change to the count

Would also like to know the answer to this.

Same problem here, PC/NA.

Ok guys, we've identified where the issue is and plan to hotfix it tomorrow morning. This is only an issue on PC; console is not affected. Unfortunately, we won't be able to retroactively grant progress toward the Plunder Skull achievement for any skulls gained between now and tomorrow, so please keep this in mind as you continue to play.

@ZOS_GinaBruno will the event be extended due to all the issues today? Asking for a friend

My wife wants to know the same thing. She's lost a day of getting skulls to finish the achievement on all her characters.

Can we stock pile skulls and not use them ?
Or does the count happen as soon as we get them issued to us ?
No sure if you are still at work there.

It's right as you receive a Skull. Sorry.

Any chance the holiday can be extended a day to make up for it?

Thank you for acknowledging and fixing the issue.

Seriously ? I have farm for NOTHING ? Omg... I have farm all my nigth, i have think is only a stupid display bug, but no i have farm for nothing...

I imagine a lot of people like me farm right now for nothing and have absolut no information about that

(sorry for my poor english)

kakarot482_ESO

Are you kidding? On one of the few nights this filthy casual had to actually farm and get ONE of my characters to the 100 skull achievement? Just peachy.

magnusthorek

This is bulls...t!

Of course you can reward retroactively, or at you least you should, through logs of players' actions you query User IDs eligible and run a database update using those IDs as conditional.

If you can't traverse and manipulate data in such way I'm terrified of your overall code niw.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Seems like you all have a very poor QA or development staff. You've only succeeded in ruining your first big holiday event.

well i do not see, that the holiday event is ruined just because of one day, and as in the past, i just expect, that zos will extend the event.

but...when i think of this monday, i also think, there are some major problems with the qa. so there came a patch and after that patch some serious problems with the game - and...this isnt the first time it happened, also they implemented a bug, where i am asking myself, how it had to do in any ways with the last patch. i mean...how do u get a bug into the game, which doesnt have any relation to the fixed contend of the patchnotes - okay...could be...some weird connections between other fixed stuff...but this is just weird.

I cannot find any announcement about a hotfix.
Is this hotfix already live while I was sleeping?

Spent pretty much my entire evening working towards the achievement without checking the progress, only to find it was exactly where it was when I started the day. Probably would've had my title by now too as I started with 88 of 100 skulls but yeah I was cruising on autopilot using it as an excuse to do WBs, dolmens, delves, etc I hadn't done so I hadn't really thought about it till later in my day. GG Zeni, slipping in bugs that seemingly have nothing to do with the systems involved in the ones you fixed. Rather disappointing. :P

RevenantPulse

Okay, seriously ZoS.. You guys need to extend this event for another week. It's only fair with all the huge issues and major downtimes this month. Now we can't even finish an achievement that's only available for this particular event because of a recent hot fix?
