So in Summerset zone chat there's a bit of a heated counterargument that you have to do the quest line as per the FAQ to get to Artaeum and get the Pathfinder achievement. Using a guild member or a group to port there won't count.
Can we get an official comment that the achievement itself counts, not how you get to Artaeum?

I am sure that they put that in FAQ to guide players on how to access Artaeum. Someone new to Summerset might be confused on how to access it if they did not post that.

You guys get that they're just trying to boost sales by locking this behind Summerset, right?

This seems mistaken? 9/22 -is- the Saturday turnout. 5% increase was Fridays turn out, which was expected since that is when most people in the US go out of the house for fun stuff. (Not sure about other countries).
So Saturdays turnout was large as expected. I imagine Sundays will dive back down to the 8 or 9%.
By using % for the contest instead of numbers, gives ZOS the flexibility to (covertly) adjust. I think it will be close but I do not think ZOS will dangle a virtual carrot in front of their customers. A virtual carrot that has already been developed and is just hanging there for release. I think 63% of their intended goal is good. Being business minded, if I set a goal for a promotion, for which I had no past data, 63% at this point, would be good. It's a win/win promotion for ZOS ... more players buying Summerset. My belief is we will get the full reward. As pointed out if we reached the goal in the 2nd or 3rd day, that would mean that the goal was too low. Personally, I think this is a brilliant promotion.

So, you think that ZOS will move the goal post as we get closer to ensure that everyone who owns Summerset will get a free house? I admire the thought, and might have agreed if it was the mount, but not the house.

For example, I already have the game on PC and have completed the achievement on NA and EU servers, so now I'm waiting for the PS4 ESO Collection to be 40-50% off on Tues before I decide if it's worth it to buy that. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
I think a combination of that sale and the last-minute push will give a big boost for Wed and Thurs numbers.

I think they intend for us to get the house regardless...and make their money off us from the furnishing packs they've already said they are going to release afterwards. NOT giving us the house will create ill will and resentment...and people will not buy the house they feel they should have gotten for free.. and they certainly won't be buying furnishing packs for a house they don't have. Even I hope they aren't that dumb. Believe me though, the plan is for them to make money on this and plenty of it. Which is the main reason I think we'll be getting the house regardless of what the "goal" is.
The sale isn't a secret--it's announced on the news page and the event page--and it's common sense that a new account on a different platform would count toward the event, especially since selling more copies of the game/Summerset is what the whole event is about.lordrichter wrote: »Do you think that many people know this, and are planning this event around it?
