    So if we hit the 100% goal..... EVERYONE with summerset that has logged into the game since summerset dropped will get the house for free......


    Am I the only one that kinda mad about this? Like Ive been planning on buying that house for months now have already bought the crowns for that house and now just ANYONE WITH SUMMERSET might have that house


    What the hell is the point of owning an awesome amazing house if everyone and there mom owns it........

    …. because there aren't enough exclusive homes for you already???
    or because you only get enjoyment out of seeing other people NOT have something?


    look I have linchal now and when ever someone visits I get something to the effect of "omg wow your home is amazing". ive spent nearly a year working on that since it was first released. Ive been planning on getting the villa since i first found out about it. have been looking forward to spending a very long time working on it. now tho its just like i dont even feel like putting the time into it because instead of getting "wow you home is amazing" or "omg your house is so beautiful" its just gunna be "hey i really like what you did with the villa, why didnt i do that with mine" or "well i havent seen this done to the villa before"

    You must have been really peeved when they offered Linchal for sale again, and for a longer time-period.

    better put:

    I want everyone who really loves this house and is dying to have it to get it and do amazing impressive things to with it. Not every single person thats just gunna slap some decorations up and then go look at the previously mentioned players work and be like "Thats pretty cool but ive seen the villa before or have it too"

    So, you want only the people that can afford the exorbitant prices of these homes to be able to own this one and decorate it? I just can't see someone complaining about getting this large home for free, even if many others will have it. It's not like you can carry that house around with you and show it off like you can with a mount or pet or costume. I find your objection to this rather surprising, not to mention elitist. Get the home for free and save your crowns for the next giant home that only you can afford.

    We know that 100% in the event doesn’t mean 100% of those with Summerset.

    We know some with Summerset players what they want to play ans will come back for the next zone. MFirror even stated much of the playerbase only plays for a few weeks after a new dlc comes out.

    We know there are players who just want to PVP or raid or whatever and don’t come out of their cache unless they need something like gear or skills.

    So the question or thought I have is how reasonable is Zos’ thoughts of what is a reasonable group participation is this 100%. I know we won’t get an answer to that question until the event ends.

    Outside of that it’s a potentially great give away and promotion to sell more copies of the chapter.

    I am hoping this is NOT 100 percent of the owners of Summerset and its 100 percent of a set number of ppl. Because I know a few people in the Carolinas that own summerset and have no power or ability to even be in their homes atm.

    Just to clarify, we're not looking for 100% of Summerset players to complete the achievement.

    Ok? Then 100% of????

    The 100% completion goal on the Summerfall Event progress meter is a goal-post we set when designing this event that we believe everyone has a high likelihood of reaching. We want you all to have fun with this event and successfully earn all three event rewards, and we chose a goal with that in mind.

    While we aren’t disclosing numbers – that would take away from the fun! – we can again confirm that “100%” does not mean 100% of all players who own ESO or even Summerset.

    Please tell me you're going to redo this number once it goes live because there are SEVERAL people who had not completed this prior to your announcement yesterday but have now since done it. :)

    @ZOS_GinaBruno Can you please let us know the answer to the question that was asked earlier?

    If we receive the house for free, will there be a way to "upgrade" to a furnished version of the house in ht crown store?

    I know currently that if you purchase a unfurnished house you can not go back and purchase the furnished version. Will there be an exception for this a event and a discount for upgrading to the furnished version?

    *Mind boggled.* I just can't understand why certain people can't stand the fact that ZoS is being so kind as to give the house out because then its not special. Smh...

    Honestly if the number reaches the target and everyone with Summerset gets this house, and that beautiful mount and its pony companion, that will be fantastic because we all worked for it.
    Its even more special in my eyes cause everyone donated their time and effort, even if it was something very easy that takes 20 minutes top, to help everyone else get this!

    So you know what I'm just going to leave this here ahead of time, even if we don't reach that goal...

    THANK YOU so much to everyone who is taking the time to do this!

    @ZOS_GinaBruno I have to say as far as events go, this has to be one of the more innovative I have seen in a game. Just what I expect to see from the ESO team, innovation and genuine care for the community.

    I have Grand Topal Hideaway. I love it; it's still my favorite in the game. It was the most expensive house unfurnished till Colossal Aldmeri Grotto came out for the same price. It's still the most expensive furnished house (Colossal Aldmeri Grotto is just a hair behind it furnished). Very few people seem to have it.

    I'm betting that the house will be re-released sometime around the time Murkmire comes out, since Grand Topal is a Murkmire-style home.

    And you know what? I am THRILLED with that!

    On the rare occasions I see a guildie's location as "Grand Topal Hideaway" I immediately teleport to them if I can, so I can see what they've done with the place. I never feel like my house is any less "special" because others have it. I want to see more people get the house so I can get more home tours. I love the creative things people do!

    A home isn't "less special" just because other people own it. Or, on the other end, it's just a digital product with no real impact that "doesn't really exist" so you could also argue that it was never special to begin with. Being "special" or not isn't the problem. The only issue here is with people being entitled and elitist.

    Edit: actually needed to discover three more eyeballs on my main...the first time i went through summerset was to level the psijic skill line...went though really fast on several characters and didn't take time for some of the detail of the zone...

    i'm not a fan of some of the environmental obstacles blocking different routes to move around - however, really beautiful and well done zone...

    At this time, there won't be a way to upgrade to a furnished version. However, we are looking at putting several furniture bundles on the Crown Store so you can furnish the home with some appropriately-themed items.

    Thanks ZOS for this wonderful community event! Thank you fellow ESO friends for helping with the achievement.

    THIS is what ESO is about: Community. This is a great opportunity to introduce people to Summerset who haven’t yet visited, meet new people and have fun doing it.

    I’m excited and loving this event and it hasn’t officially started. I’d love to have one event a year if possible.

    Thanks again everyone!

    I think this:
    In order to be eligible to receive the rewards, you must have logged into the game while owning ESO: Summerset at least once (since its initial launch in June) by Sunday, October 7 at 8:00PM EDT.
    is pretty clear.
    1. Do you own ESO: Summerset?
    2. Have you logged into the game since ESO: Summerset launched & since you bought ESO: Summerset, but before the end of the event?

    If you answered yes to both of those questions then as long as the community made it to the goals, you get the rewards. If you answered no to either or both of those questions, you don't get the rewards.

    Players follow the rewards … a proven premise in MMO's. This is a really good idea. I've heard 8 players saying they were buying Summerset. And yes this will generate sales for ZOS. Some of you act like that's a bad thing.

    And buying Summerset, especially on sale right now, is a lot cheaper than buying this house at the predictable overpriced point.

    This is a win/win for everyone.

    Hey @ZOS_GinaBruno ...
    Can you guys do one of those advertising emails to everyone like I get every other event?

    I didn't get one for this event yet, surprisingly, and it would definitely increase the visibility of this for people who pretty much run with chat off and don't go to the forums or the website and nothing in game in the announcement window says anything about it either.

    I think that would also help your sales of Summerset.

    This just proves that people will do things and have fun doing it without any "challenge"/"hardmode" involved.
