Official Discussion Thread for "Unlock a Stunning Villa, Mount & Pet during the Summerfall Event"

ZOS's generosity astounds me. This event is freaking awesome, and I can't wait to decorate!

I rarely post on the forum but this time i just had to. This event looks absolutely awesome and I love seeing how people are already working together from across servers to achieve that goal. So, a big thank you to ZOS and the rest of the community!
Here's hoping we get that house

Unlocked success on both PC EU and NA. I won't buy the summerset DLC on Xbox because there's no mods on console.

@ZOS_GinaBruno
If we can reach the 100% (sincerely hope for it), and I know the house is not shareable between megaservers, how would I have it on my main server (EU) ?

Progress is still at 20% two days after the event was announced--is that because there hasn't been any actual progress during these two days (which would be a bit odd since I've read about a lot of people getting the achievement specifically due to this announcement), or because the page is not updated daily, as it has been stated?

The Event officially starts today, so today at around 11 ET it will be updated for the first Time
I did it last Night on the EU Server, have it on the NA Server

The updates don't start until Thursday morning, and then it happens at 1500 UTC (11 AM EDT).

Thanks for the heads up, I'll be keeping an eye!

As so many travellers have already been trying to get the achievement done this first change in the statistics should give us a good idea if the figure required for the house is actually reachable or not.

Agreed. I've been seeing groups of people working together and people on the Twitter community actively making groups to help people unlock them on opposite region servers.

TBH I'd have hoped that the event was based on achievement points for all the Summerset achievements. Anyone who has already explored the island is essentially twiddling their thumbs rather than engaging.

It's ok, we will still get free things. Plus, you can always go to the other megaserver to up the odds of reaching the goal.

(but also, running around to 7 or 8 spots on the map is hardly engaging in the first place - I think this is kind of a trail run for ZOS to figure out community engagement events, and I'm sure we'll see some more compelling ones in the future)

I like this. Great idea.

I think this is the first comment where someone actually said they liked this event. I was pretty excited when I read about it, only to come to the forums and see a bunch of questions (understandable) and a bunch of naysayers. This is a great event, but instead of excitement, many initial posts were so negative (the ones that weren't questions - again it's understandable to want clarification).

I agree with others that this event is intended to be a fun, community event, and also designed to generate sales. I really think that it's their intention for us to achieve this. And, as someone else pointed out, the time to achieve the goal ends BEFORE the qualification period to get the free items. So, it seems that the intention is for the community to achieve the goal and then generate more sales at the end, 'cuz people who haven't yet bought it, may well do so with the sale price plus some additional collectibles, including a notable home.

Well, if you already have the achievement, you can:.

1. Make a character on the other megaserver and get the achievement again! If you already had it on both EU and NA, rock on, you overachiever.

2. Offer to port people to Artaeum. I really appreciated the EU player who helped me get to Artaeum. Doing the Queen's Decree quest is not necessary to enter Artaeum, so why not give someone a lift who's probably already done that quest on their home server?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm sure I saw it asked previously but can't find it (been a long day)...

How will the rewards be distributed across the megaservers?

If we make the goal, will the collectibles be rewarded to your account on each megaserver that we participated on?

If not, will there be a way to ensure that they will be awarded onto the main megaserver that we play on?

Again sorry if this has been asked before

This one can only imagine that if you do the achievement on more than one server then you get the rewards on each of those servers - as would be the case for a traveller doing the achievement on only either one of those servers.

This one could be wrong of course - it's theoretically possible and it might happen one day. Self doubt is not really a Khajiit thing though no ...

You could never be 'wrong', just varying levels of 'right'

Only up to 35% since Monday? At least we’re guaranteed the pony.

Only up to 35% since Tuesday? At least we’re guaranteed the pony.

Edit: I was really hoping we’d see it at least double since the announcement.

Awesome!

35%.

Hmm this does make the prospect of opening a grand shopping mall a rather distant one right now it seems.

Never mind. Carry on. Try the best. Then go for a big drink afterwards.

Not bad for 1st day of event, working on my 4th account PS4 EU. lol

Loralai_907

35% you say? I already had it done on NA on one account. I've done the event 3 more times between NA and EU on two accounts. Oh well...

The regulars who play the game and who were too lazy to get that achievement earlier are just the low-hanging fruit. The most important population are the masses who log on only on occasion, who don't pay attention to these kinds of announcements. They're a far more numerous bunch and are harder to reach.

The event just started today. In my time zone, it is now 11:20 am. Still at work for another 5 hours. I guarantee there's a slew of people in my situation.

Wait until people get home from work and see the event on the splash screen. That percentage will start jumping up.

Still have a week to go and it's already at 35%. Dont lose hope! Besides, it wouldn't really help Zos's attempts at selling more copies of future content through event style promotions if this fails... Can you imagine? "Thanks for buying Summerset to participate in the event! Sorry you didn't get the promo items, thanks for the cash though!"

Just this one saw so very many people doing the achievement last evening and hoped that perhaps we might be at around 50% already. Still plenty of moons to go.

Absolutely. When I get home tonight I'm going to create an EU character to do the achievement. I'm also going to renew my PS Plus subscription and do the same thing on the PS4 to add another 3 achievements to the tally

Just need to escape this place they call work...

So I'm still wondering I have already gotten the achievement on NA Server, will getting the achievement on an EU Server character count towards the goal? I'm sure I am not the only one who is wondering this. I just want to be able to help more if possible.

Yes, it's once per account per platform & megaserver. So you could technically do it up to 6 times (3 platforms of 2 megaservers each).

I guess I'm going to run that level 3 through Summerset on the EU server then.

Sigh.

Well if it makes you feel better I'll be doing the same but on NA

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but perhaps ZoS could send out an email telling players about this event? That way anyone who isn't active in ESO atm will get a head's up about the event!
