Ssshhh, come here! In case you haven’t noticed…

In true Thieves Guild fashion, the Thieves Guild of Hews Bane have been quietly planning a very special event to celebrate the Thieves Guild launch anniversary. And it begins today! You can enjoy the following when playing in Hew’s Bane from now until March 20:

• Double yield from resource nodes in Hew’s Bane
• Double rewards for killing World Bosses and bosses in delves in Hew’s Bane
• Double dro-m’Athra style items from killing bosses in the Maw of Lorkhaj Trial
• Increased rewards from Heists
  • Non-perfect Heists give the reward for perfect Heists; perfect Heists award double the crates

Happy hunting – and thieving – adventurers!

Does the Thieves Guild quest line work now?
See the following: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/325204/showstopper-forever-hold-your-peace-of-thieves-guild-quest-line-is-fundamentally-broken#latest

I just want to point out in my own discussion with feedback from ZoS I was told to look for upcoming news. This is the only upcoming news on the Thieves Guild I'm aware of but nothing is being said about the broken questline.

Not mentioned in the original post: Double rewards also from chests in Hew's Bane - This includes Treasure Map Chests

welcome to the club dude..... I'm still waiting as well. It's insane.

It's okay guys. We get to run normal mode with our eyes closed now that we cleared HM. It really is mindblowing the number of people I know that couldnt even clear VMOL with an exploit that have all the sharp weapons because they just farm normal. NO SELF-RESPECTING PLAYER WANTS TO DO THAT!!!

Second time i have said it today, ZOS you sometimes make it really hard to be a fanboy and continue to defend this game. Anyone with a Dro-m'Athra Destroyer or Flawless Conquerer title should get the pick of a weapon as far as I am concerned. You have demonstrated your mastery of the content. I got a bow of the Lunar bastion for my HM clear. You can imagine how thrilled I was. My guild had to drag me back in there a week later once the rage wore off.

I got a Charged Battle Axe of Twilight Remedy on my first HM clear xD

Yeaterday I managed to get my very first Sharpened Fire Staff ever from MoL..... in the Twilight Remedy set.....

Did they stealth fix something? Now all of a sudden, not getting any drops from the World Bosses and Delve bosses. And yes I'm getting hits in, even switched to aoe heal the cp600 people camping the bosses. No drops.

There's a limit of 12 people that can get rewards. It means your DPS / Healing is not high enough for the 12 spots.

@TheRealPotoroo is correct. There is a limit to how many people can get rewards from monsters (and it is 12) based on top contributions for damage and healing.

This is the worst event ZOS has ever put out .....

You cannot get a kill on a boss due to the spamming groups. I play on XB1 NA, all everyone does is stand on the boss spawn location and spam attacks non stop in groups the entire time between spawns. I am talking about 3-4 minutes of spamming attacks for no reason between spawns from these groups. It lags all players and any chance of getting an attack on the boss. So when the boss does spawn, if you are lucky to get an attack off due to the lag due to the constant attack spamming when they do spawn it is worthless because the groups spamming the non stop attacks take the kill.

It is so bad I cannot compete the daily quest I have .....

Again, thanks for nothing ZOS .....

Good job ZoS ! Love the mini events, wish I could participate myself.

Happy motif hunting all

Managed to get a couple last night, one from the dual heist rewards and one from killing a world boss.

TBH even if I don't get them as drops this should push prices down a little and I can sweep in a buy them up.

Speaking of Thieves Guild, are there any news about "The Elder Scrolls Online - Music of Tamriel Vol. 2"?

SantieClaws

Perhaps there is a little lesson to be learnt for future anniversary events yes.

Extra quest rewards for the individual repeatable quests work because everyone they can do them and gain the rewards without directly competing with another traveller for those rewards.

Extra anything out there in Tamriel - the nodes, boss rewards etc - does not work so well yes because there are too many people arriving in one area and competing for limited rewards. The only way to deal with this if you wish to have rewards from these sources is to make them Tamriel wide rather than restrict them to the one area. Anything that pulls a large number of travellers to a very small area is going to cause issues - not least with the supply of the booze yes! Abah's Landing is a dry city in more ways than one right now.

Khajiit she finds Hew's Bane to be the most beautiful place in all of Tamriel and enjoys to spend time there but perhaps not so much this week.

Yours with paws

Seems to be a step down from the last two DLC anniversaries.

• No discount on the Thieves Guild DLC in the Crown Store? Imperial City was 50% off and Orsinium was 75% off during their anniversary events.
• No limited purchase window for the Collector's Edition? Imperial City had a new Collector's Bundle created especially for the anniversary, and Orsinium's Collector's Bundle was available again at 60% off.

Seems they've now ninja'd this in... can anyone confirm in-game?

• The return of the original Thieves Guild Collector's Bundle to the Crown Store at a substantial discount, featuring:
  • The Thieves Guild DLC game pack
  • The Hammerfell Camel mount
  • The Kindlespit Dragon Frog pet
  • Five Crown Experience Scrolls
• 25% off Crown Store purchases of the Thieves Guild DLC game pack

Saw the store teaser ingame yesterday, couldn't access the store tho. Collector's Bundle was 2000 crowns, including everything you' ve stated.

Nope. Last I looked at maths, 2x0=0.

The ability spam also makes it hard to tell where the boss is.

I expect that botters are there, although, not in the same way as the dolmens. They have to run up to get loot if they want it. Otherwise, they are free to stand and macro/rubberband to be sure of getting a hit in.

Maybe ZOS needs a 30 minute world boss cooldown, if they are going to stick with the 12 limit. No XP or Loot from the boss afrer completing it successfully.

Hey can you please address us or any if the 10+ threads made about the whole Maw of Lorkhaj Trial being broken and unplayable in console??

It's a slap in the face to release this Anniversary Event, when console players can't even enjoy it!

Lol I love the blatant blanking you guys are getting over this. Gotta admire the tenacity of the zos staff.

Ikr. ZOS poker face OP.

The discount did go live yesterday - I'll update the main post in this thread to reflect that.

One thing of note: If you look up the Thieves Guild DLC game pack or the Thieves Guild Collector's Bundle in the Crown Store on Xbox One or PlayStation 4, you will see the lower price for both but not the "sale" identifier (the slashed price.) The price is lowered and the same for all platforms until March 20th.

I have to say I'm loving this event, particularly the way my client lags to the point of windows thinking it's stopped responding whenever I try to kill the Thrall Cove boss. I'm going to go out on a limb and say the problem is with ZOS as the same sized group at the other world boss isn't a problem.

Edvoli

Not getting loot at bosses at all, so many there and only few get loot - Some people say only 12 get loot. Not worth it.

This really needs to be change ASAP. This event is just not fun for farming world bosses to get motifs. You want to talk about a "pain spot" ZOS? This a big one right now. You need to drop the "only the top 12 get loot". When all participate, all should get loot.

How about this ZOS? Imagine you're a new player and you just bought Thieve's Guild that was on sale.. you go out to Hew's Bane and start leveling up.. you come across the World boss and are excited to join in with all the other masses of players standing ready to kill the boss.. and your "reward" is...... nothing... because you're a new player, and you can't even come close to top 12 for damage/healing.

You must end the top 12 thing for world bosses and large group content.. it just makes absolutely no sense.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

That is...ridiculously stupid. So on top of competing with trying to get a hit in I have to hope I do enough damage/healing against CP600s as well? That's a nice way to discourage lowbies from participating in the event. Naw I'll be frank, that's an absolute bs system. ZoS KNOWS there will be a ton of people. It's bad enough trying to find a damn node not being camped. I can understand that system if we had a bunch of delves and world bosses to split the numbers between. Hew's Bane has only 2 WB and 2 delves. *** idiotic. Lift the limit, expand it during an event or make it so that drops are limited per day so others actually have a chance to get a motif.

No Double XP? @ZOS_JessicaFolsom this is not congruent with the last DLC anniversaries?

Nothing is gonna change lmao, no matter how hard we keep yelling. Customer is only important as long as they pay. After that, who cares, eh.
