I'd agree if they extended the event without the double xp.

This is hardly an "advantage" and is pretty childish to get upset over. This is usually how compensations goes anyways—which is that it works only for those who actually had the problem.

Everyone has their opinion - you've proved that.

What I've said isn't because I'm upset - who are you?

Qualifying it as "childish" isn't that mature at all.

Just disagree without assuming you know me or the reason for my comment.

"Who am I"?

And I did not say you were upset. I simply said it is pretty childish to get upset over it. You know...as a continuation off of my original remarks.

Oh, I see, nothing else to say. Perhaps you shouldn't assume yourself, pal.

AND I HAVE TRIED TO FIX IT with the destructions ZOS PUT ON TERE KNOWLEDGE BASE, BUT TO NO AVAIL, SO IT OWNLY DOWNLOADS THE RELEVANT PATCH OF TAMRIEL 1.

If you are having troubles with a slow patch/download and temporarily changing your dns server doesn't help, I found that reinstallation got through the speed issue. If you haven't already tried though, definitely try connecting to a different server and then restarting the client to see if it jogs it into motion/fixes it. If that doesn't help, can you share more details with us? Someone here might be able to help you.

Bro, just download the patcher from ZOS web site. Let it install on your computer but don't download the entire game. Then copy the folder launcher and replace the old one by the new one. This will solve your issue and no need to reinstall everything.

Yeah, I agree with the console players. Why not give everyone an extension? I understand if not, but because we console players got the One Tamriel update later, we didn't have the same level of incentive/access to be killing bosses at the rate PC players did when the witches festival started; nor did we have the concentrated population to be spamming bosses like everyone does in One Tamriel. Pair that with the update that was performed during the witches festival, and I don't see much of a difference in including consoles on this. I also don't understand the reasoning for PC players insisting that console players be left out... such a weird sense of community some PC players have toward people on other hardware.

Gina, by the above, do you mean that you changed the time...to account for the end of Daylight Saving Time, as Daylight Saving Time ends at 2am on November 6 in the US? Further, although ET is a valid abbreviation for Eastern Time Zone by omitting the reference to either Daylight or Standard, for clarity and accuracy, you do mean 9am EST, correct?

Thanks,

Frank

Sorry about that! The event will be ending at 9am EST next Tuesday.

I think you should extend this for Xbox and PS players as well. I do not play on consoles nor own any. I just think it's a fair thing to do.

Why? The achievements are not broken for them. They can earn it now while PC players cannot.

Our xp system is broken Im not earning double xp for some reason.

What about consoles? Any chance you're planning on being super-benevolent and giving us the same extra opportunity?

Galenus_of_Pergamon

I play on both Mac and PS4 so I can sympathize with PC/Mac community about the Plunder Skull bug.

At the same time, though, I concur with some of the previous posters. For the sake of equality, across ESO's entire customerbase, console players should also be allotted a one week extension of the Witches Festival.

Otherwise, PC/Mac players would be granted roughly 168 more hours (7 days) of double experience earned than console players.

As someone who spends a significant amount of money in the Crown Store, and who favors my console version of ESO, I would feel disenfranchised if I were not allotted the same opportunity as the PC/Mac community to gain champion points at an accelerated rate.

Please, Zenimax Studios, I ask that you promote equality across your entire customerbase and extend the Witches Festival for consoles players too.

Thanks - I appreciate other players saying this. I hope @ZOS_GinaBruno and the team will consider this

Lumbermill_Emperor

guys calm down its nothing to consider anymore
they already did weekly update
and they will not spread it to other platforms until next weekly update
but after next weekly update the event will end

Galenus_of_Pergamon

The weekly update for both consoles is tomorrow morning (November 1, 6AM EDT).

There still exists time to ensure equality across the customerbase.

FYI

For achievement completionists, note the crow caller that is obtained via the crown store has not been extended. You have just a hours left to grab the caller to obtain the quest required to complete two of the event achievements.

Rhyagell

Why extend the event but not the Crow caller? This makes no sense at all.

I have noticed that the xp isn't working on xbox as intended. Now I'm not asking for an extension, honestly I'm tired of skeletons everywhere. THE extra xp would be nice though. But like I stated I'm not mad about the extension for pc/mac.

Galenus_of_Pergamon

@ZOS_GinaBruno

Is it possible for the console community to get double experience earned without additional Plunder Skulls?

Is the PC/Mac community getting an extra week of Plunder Skulls AND double experience earned? I haven't downloaded the update file on my Mac yet, but the Mac side of me doesn't feel it deserves the double experence (assuming it exists) unless the console side of me gets the double experence too.

Alternatively, why not give PC/Mac more Plunder Skull time but with no double experience earned?

If console were getting double experience earned for another week, I had intended to buy 60-70, or more, hours worth of Crown Experience Scrolls to stack with the double XP.

@Galenus_of_Pergamon
NO
maintenance for consoles done
they will not add things between weekly updates

The Crow Caller is actually still available, but it's moved over to the Special Offers section instead of it being featured. The timer that was appearing was just a residual thing from when the event was supposed to end today. Sorry for the confusion!

At the time of my post, console maintenance was still taking place. Nevertheless, thank you for your response.

I was hoping for an explanation (not merely a yes or no), from Zenimax Studios, as to why the PC/Mac community is being granted 168 additional hours of double experience earned (assuming double xp was also extended on PC/Mac) than the console community.

Is it technically unfeasible to grant the console community double experience while removing plunder scrolls?

A technical explanation would suffice.

Otherwise, I'm left to believe that preferential treatment is being granted to the "Master Race" (PC/Mac) players.

Seems unfair to extend it for PC/Mac but not for console as well. Most people don't care about achievements and are only interested in the benefits of an extra week of double XP and farming skulls.

I'd like to know where you source this "Most people don't care about achievement" data from. It's not true at all in my experience.

CadaCosa

Nice, I kept looking at my progress towards the achievement and thinking I've opened at least 200 boxes and yet only 52 show in the achievement. Thought that was weird. Glad to know there is a root cause.

Resorting to calling someone childish is pretty childish.

The event obviously should have been extended on both platforms. In business it's best to graciously err on the side of generosity when a) it doesn't actually cost you anything and b) it's to fix your own screw up.

PC player FYI.
