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

The Jesters Festival is in April with an xp buff. Patience, Grasshopper.

I would also like to request that the loot from World Bosses be more accessible.

I originally tried on my 37 DK and after four kills, I received no loot. On the presumption that DPS affects loot drops I then switch to my 50 NB main with a great deal more DPS and still received no loot.

I expect there will be spammers and bots but I also expect that I should be able to enjoy the increased drop rates for loot. Please solve this issue. Thank you.

I agree with most people here, way too many people completing for far too few resources in Hew's Bane. I gave up after an hour and went farming in Craglorn, nobody is there right now.

By the way, I just killed two world bosses in Hew's Bane, and got ZERO drops. ZERO. Not even 19 gold. Not sure if that's a bug, or if it's because there were a million other people there at the same time.

I read that there's a limit of 12 people who get rewards.

@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.

Is it a usual thing or only during the Thief Guild Anniversary?
If we in guild go to IC servers to kill Molag Bal a few times only the first 12 guild mate got reward?

In vain One Tamriel, I don't have chance to loot from bosses during event because of too much player. I thought, good time to kill theese bosses during anniversary event with alts, but it will not make much sense.

Apparently, these events tell you what area to avoid. Hew's bane is like Woodstock '69 these days.

Now maybe I can get into some Dolmens & World bosses in other regions while the spammers & bots and the general crowd are all gathered around the bosses in Hew's Bane.

I'm sorry ZOS. This event is completely inaccessible for some and not worth my while at all. I'm not even talking about resource farming. I killed world bosses 5-6 times tonight, delves at least 2 and received absolutely no loot for any of them. There are end game minmaxers with max CP sitting on top of the sites, spamming AOE attacks before boss even spawns, laughing at anyone who "doesn't do substantial damage". It's not enjoyable for any but a few.

I get that everyone wants awesome loot, but somehow increase the timer for being able to collect loot again on kills and, if your timer is active, your damage doesn't count towards that magic number of 12. Timer is too short now, so everyone just stays and camps for respawn.

That means only the highest-level people get the rewards, because they'll do the most damage the fastest. No one else has a chance. They should take off the 12-person limit during the event.

Potentially, yes. But, mainly because they have better equipment and skills. It is still possible, but harder, to get in there with a lower level character. Not if there are 50 people there, of course. When there are so many people there you can't actually see the boss, even a Level 50 with high CP can get cut out of the loot. After all, someone has to be #13.

You know, if this was Warcraft I'd nod and say sucks to be Alliance on a Horde heavy realm. World bosses there were tied to you get a hit in, you get loot. Only draw back was who hit first, Alliance or Horde.

ESO is not heavy at all with the faction unless it's pvp. So far an event that's in a small space as Hew's Bane is, it's frustrating. I don't want to stand there and spam an aoe heal and hope that someone got hit and didn't self heal. So 30 people, spamming abilities fast and 18 are told lol dps/heal better by the system in place? Way to punish the people that aren't minmaxers. If Hew's Bane is like this, I sure as hell am gonna stay away from the Gold Coast and its anniversary event. As it is now, the only things I can get done are the dailies.

Please ZOS , we don't need a player cap to receive loot. There are bosses camped by more than 12 people..sometimes 50+ .

All who do damage must get loot . Some time ago you told us that the loot is gained by everyone who do 3% damage...and now u are telling us that is a cap???

Please fix it ZOS !!

I have to say for gaining motifs I am loving this event.

Earning them has been so much nicer and the prices in the store are coming down nicely now.

mason5172

This is awesome! Thank you for this.

TheStealthDude

I am definitely liking this event. I have been dreading trying to get the Outlaw motif, but this has made it so much better. I have only had a couple hours to play so far, but already have half the collection!

Thank you ZOS!

They should remove the 12 person limit entirely.. that's just something that needs to end with World Bosses and large group content.

I'm loving the heist rewards.

But I agree that the boss loot limit, combined with the high numbers of people, is making it very difficult to earn anything.

Before we do that, it would be really interesting for someone like Wrobel to say why it exists. There is a reason it exists, and a reason why it is 12. It'd be interested in hearing the game design reason, before running around and saying that it should go away.

Not blaming you here Jessica as you do a super job on these forums!

But the method of boss droppings and motif awards is just bollocks..... Its bad enough that we now have to get 18 chapters. Then to have to try and battle with 30 other people to get top 12 DPS is just dumb. THEN if you are good enough and lucky enough to be in the top 12 its a friggin RNG drop (I have 3 Outlaw bows motiffs FFS....)

This is kinda like the dungeon drops and "Undaunted chests". Not quite as bad...but close. I don't know how many time my Tank has received the LIGHT armor (even though he wears all heavy) headpiece in drops, or Light shoulders in chests..... and the ONE heavy headpiece I have has PROSPEROUS trait.... brilliant! Just what I need!

That is one of the things SWTOR did well. You got "shells" from boss drops that you could turn in at DPS, tank, healer vendors and get the gear you WANTED.... no RNG baloney (except the one thing they did poorly is the bosses only dropped one shell...so it was RNG as to who got it in a raid).

I always figured the give_treasure function looked at whatever you were wearing and said... hmmm, he has plenty of Heavy armor with Divines on it, he doesn't need any more. It looks like he needs some cloth armor with Training on it!

hmm...with all the discussion about this event being lackluster compared to previous events...I just wonder if ZOS got caught offguard because of the preparations for the more significant jesters festival coming up very soon, and then just slapped something together in a hurry for the TG anniversary...I say this for two reasons, the idea of this being a secret event where they didn't do any significant advertising up front, and put it out in "secret"..as they said in their notice, they had "quietly" planned this event in true TG fashion...second, the jesters festival seems like it's going to be more like the previous events that had been pretty popular...

...just a thought...

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

All news of this seems to have died. If you find any info to the contrary shoot me a message I'd love to pick this up.

Can someone tell me what hour (in the 20th of March) the event ends?

Probably 10am EDT. That's usually the on/off time for things.

Thanks! I'll try to get a heist or 2 done before I have to leave for work on the 20th

C'mon guys. MoL is the last bastion of the grind for ZOS. As if they're going to give you double drops. Stop expecting things to be handed out by them because if you all got what you wanted in a double loot drop fortnight you'd all be whinging about having no content to run by the end of it.

I'm not intending to incite or trolling, just being realistic about the company that is ZOS. I'm sure they're only too happy to sustain a week of whinging about no double drops opposed to a few months worth of whinging about no new trial content.

..? We get 1 or 2 more trials in a couple months? That seems like a long time but this event marks 12 months of farming this gear. Say it outloud a few times and let it sink in. Twelve months.

So when it it no longer a hand out? 2 monthd from now when nobody will want the gear anymore?

Khenarthi

This announcement can now be removed/unstickied, yes?
