    I went ahead and entered but I was under the impression all winners would be chosen randomly as opposed to some needing votes? As a mainly solo player with few friends in the game I don't expect to make a big splash but I guess I have nothing to lose.

    Anyway thanks for organizing this but I wish it was more than mostly a popularity contest if you are open to constructive criticism.

    Groupfinder:
    The worst part is when it finally puts you in a group, your healer turns into a werewolf, your tank has 14k HP and the dps is heavy armor, using a restro staff and a two handed sword on the backbar. Then comes the 15 minute penalty before the cycle starts anew.

    Rulz of Morrowind:
    • The first rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • The second rule of Morrowind is: You do not talk about Morrowind.
    • Third rule of Morrowind: Someone yells NDA stuff, uploads images, streams, the game is over.
    • Fourth rule: only invited players can test.
    • Fifth rule: one invite at a time, fellas.
    • Sixth rule: crying or bashing on pts.
    • Seventh rule: NDA will go on as long as they have to.
    • And the eighth and final rule: If this is your first invite at Morrowind, you have to play.

    also I do think that the approach of just selecting a team of judges from your guild and judging live on twitch or something would have been better. Random is well, a bit dumb for competitions, but this will boil down to a popularity contest :P

    alternatively voting could have been hosted here, on the forums, with the only votes that count being the ones where people left comments explaining why they like what they do the most. That way, even if it was a popularity contest, you would at least be forced to give feedback rather than mindlessly clicking on an option.

    That's correct. ZOS prizes will be sent to the winners by them.

    Dude, the lighting on that is sweet. I wanna guess Malevolent Offering for the particle effect? Solid use.

    @Rickter
    As stated they be thanking ZOS For that, so likely either they got in contact with Gina/Jessica and set something up (cause I mean, at that point its an event hosted by the community, so a huge win on both sides), or Gina/Jessica Contacted them with a question of if they are doing the event again this year.

    @Avran_Sylt

    Thanks mate! I like the dramatic lighting in your screen as well. Not Malevolent Offering though, rather Fetish of Anger - it's a memento but I can't remember off hand which public dungeon it drops from. As you can see using it gives your character a red aura and changes the color of your screen. :smile:

    Just want to say that I agree with this feedback. I probably wouldn't have entered the contest if I knew that getting the top crown prizes involved campaigning for votes. The random prizes are nice but I already have the mudcrab so I wouldn't be able to actually win that. The million gold is nice too but honestly would rather have crowns (which you aren't eligible for in random draws). Just my thoughts.

    I put in an entry, but It is a surprise. (I ain't gonna tell you until after, honestly, a true spooktacular fellow knows to leave 'em hanging until the moment when the jumpscare gets you when you least expect it...)
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.
