PSA - get your alts dungeon ready, and your mules too! Crown store mounts and houses are rewards

Runschei

Anyone know if random veteran may contain 'better' items in the boxes? Or is it the same?

Actual crown store stuff, and not the damn crown store consumables

Bro get mad at your country not Zos

Yeah, the biggest issue for me is will the normal dungeons have the same chance for upper tier items as vet dungeons. I have two toons leveled to max, both of which are geared for kiosk runs and mat-farming rather than dungeon-running as I'm a trader and a lover rather than a fighter.

I'll certainly try my hand at this (and gear up better than I am now) but I suspect if I signed up for vet dungeons I would be kicked almost instantaneously.

you CAN do normal random dungeons at max level. there is a little pull down menu where you can switch from default vet, back to normal

P.S. reply to another post, but apparently its not just other countries that are restricted from participating in sweepstakes. so its DEFINITELY not ZOS issue of greed or whatever.

from the rules

(excluding residents of Florida, New York, Rhode Island, the territories and military installations),

and even though I most likely will not win anything - still, one more reason to be happy we moved out of that hellhole of a city of New York half a decade or so ago :P

When I saw 'consumables' I lost all interest. 99% of the reward boxes will be filled with this garbage.

Aww. I was hoping they would be filled with burnt branches, jester banners, and nix-hounds.

Exactly. Who want's to PUG random dailies just to get an XP scroll or Nix hound?

If they are really interested in doing something nice for us they should bring back loyalty rewards in the form of Crown Jewels so we can save them up and get what we really want.

Well... looks like this event is OUT for me, considering I'm a solo quester who has never done a group dungeon before... and I really don't want to be 'that guy' who walks into a completely foreign area and has no clue what to do. Especially considering it's a 'RANDOM' dungeon, at least being able to plan ahead of time what dungeon I was going to run I could at least review YouTube to prepare. *sigh*

So why are solo players left out here? We have stories to tell too.

Don't miss out.
You shouldn't have any issue doing random normals. They aren't very difficult even for players that don't like dungeons.
I have never minded when I found out that I was running with a player on their first trip.

Just be open for advise on mechanics to make the experience more enjoyable

This particular in-game event is open to all players; only the sweepstakes is restricted by certain countries.

Well that's just great. What the hell? WHY? There's no reason why players from other countries couldn't have physical stuff shipped to them. This makes no sense at all!
And even bigger nonsense is preventing people from having a chance of winning INGAME prices.

I've seen this crap done on numerous occasions, and let me tell you something: punishing people for not living in the "correct" country is almost insultive.

Maybe ZOS doesn't want break the laws of the countries/states being excluded? Kind of selfish to expect something from a company when your country's laws disallow it.

Vaoh

@ZOS_GinaBruno Are these box rewards the same across Normal dungeons and Veteran dungeons/Vet HM completes?

It's easier to blame the company, I guess -shrug-

Running randoms dungeons (possibly with random players) on alts you hardly play? Yeah... that's not a bad idea or anything.

Normal dungeons are easy and loads of players can solo them. If you are in any guilds I suppose you could ask a guildie if you can tag along. If you are on PC EU I will gladly drag you along with me in a few dungeons so you can get your rewards too.

Thanks for the heads up; guess I have 9 mules to outfit and choose skills.

Well, I will start at the top of the list with my 4 healers and 1 tank and go from there if I still have stamina for the potatoes (in which case, I'll probably team up with guildies on proper toons)

Anyone know what a "day" is in ESO? It doesn't seem to align with a day in my timezone.

I am pretty sure my country has no laws against contests.

Without knowing that country, I couldn't point you to the specific law, but those laws do exist and they differ from region to region. And since your country is excluded from the contest, clearly you are incorrect.

And it normally isn't a law about contests in general. It normally has to do with the amount of money prizes are worth or the clearance about awarding prizes in general. For example, the total prize pool for the contest may exceed the allotted prize pool amount for your country.

A little research on your part would identify the issue. And then a petition to your government could help to get that law changed. Not everything is a companies fault, especially when they wish to not break international laws.

Question: If I want to duo, can we still use random dungeon finder and stay as our 2-person group, or will 2 randoms be added to our premade group? Thanks!

It will put you with two randoms.

Read the information provided in full. Have questions for @ZOS_GinaBruno. There is really no significant information about the "in game" prizes in the event details.

1) What "bonus rewards: mounts, costumes, and more" are actually in the loot table? Is this just a few crown mounts and costumes or every mount, house, and item ever in the crown store crate or not?

2) Is the loot distribution of a bonus box the same as that of a crown crate? (here is to the guy who writes the add on to tabulate this data just like the crown crates)?

3) Can the consumables that we will no doubt get in large amounts be extracted for crown gems?

4) It is clear that only one bonus sweepstakes entry per account can be earned a day but it is not clear how many special dungeon bonus boxes can be earned for doing a random daily. Is this one per account per day, one per toon per day (bit PITA here as I hate running all 9 of my fully leveled toons,) or, go nuts and get one every run? (Never mind, found the answer for this one, once per toon, always once per toon. You know we all hate half out alts right? stamblade, gross.)

My comments so far are:

1) Event with possibility for good prizes, yay. Especially yay since daily dungeons were chosen and I need to get some transmute gems anyway.

2) Inserting a player character into the game, very fun. Might be even more fun if we can kill it lol.

3) Free to play event, yay, might get some player to replace the ones chased off with the morrowind combat change idiocy.

4) Need a more detailed event page for the actual in game event stuff.

My level 19 Magicka Nightblade is good to go with a full set of Twice Born Star, food, and pots.

Readiness of other players? Not so sure ...
