Summerfall Event - Can we do it?

weedgenius

Nope (Don't be negative)

If they're giving it away for free, there won't be an option to get it pre-furnished. Who wants to bet those two Summerset furnishing packs will hit the crown store by the end of the month?

RedTalon

Yes! We can do it!

76 and yeah, remember to go to all zones and spread the word, that isn't a bad jump for the last day of the weekend.

And oh people love free stuff for such little effort, so when you spread the worse mention they get free stuff for the event.

Yep, exactly right

Not sure

Was hoping it would be higher

Will need 5% per day to complete

I had a Summerfall anxiety dream, where I checked the events page and it was at 0% lol

Well we got the mount and more mounts are always good, another house is always good also but think most including myself already got our favorite houses, but another one never hurts.

EliteWarrior

Yes! We can do it!

It's over 70% now, days to go. We'll get it for sure. I just think it's a shame that everyone (who owns Summerset) will get it, regardless of whether they actually completed it or not.

Yeah, I'm kinda starting to change my tune. I read a comment on here that finally turned the light bulb on for me:

Absolutely. Also, if ZOS did not dish out the house it's essentially saying, "oh, our game is so under-subscribed that we couldn't even complete an event. Don't bother wasting your money on Summerset, no one is playing it, it's a dead zone!", that's commercial suicide.

Whatever the 'real' % score, the event will be marketed as a 100% success as it sounds good and makes good headlines!

Plus, like I mentioned above, we know Summerset furnishing packs are coming to the store, it's just a matter of when. Selling them right after giving away a big, empty Summerset house might have been part of the plan all along.

this is a nice incentive and brilliant marketing. It's win for the players and win for ZOS

I was going to say exactly the same. If we drop below +5% per day, it won't happen.

And so far, our smallest gain was last Friday's at exactly +5% (from peeps getting the achievement on Fri, total was updated Sat morning; remember that when we see the total update, its effectively a day behind). Because we can only do this once (or twice if you're helping by jumping servers) its going to see diminishing returns fast. So not dropping below 5% this week is... well, its very unlikely.

Of course it's marketing, but who cares. It's a fun event and we get free stuff. It's a win-win.

This event led me to getting Summerset for me and a friend. Great marketing by Zenimax.

Even if all numbers are predetermined, I'm curious to see the outcome

It doesnt hurt to dream. The worst that can happen is you dont get the house.
To be honest though I would rather win 200 of each gold improvement mats. That would be much more useful.

September 19 - 20% no increase because the event hadn't officially started yet
September 20 - Day 1 - 35% (+15% for 9/18 and 9/19)
September 21 - Day 2 - 42% (+7% for 9/20)
September 22 - Day 3 - 47% (+5% for 9/21, even when ZOS live-streamed the event on Twitch)
September 23 - Day 4 - 63% (+16% for 9/22, this made up for the low Friday-night/Saturday-morning turnout)

Summerfall Event ends on Friday, September 28 at 10:00AM EDT.

We just need to average 6% gains over the next 4 days. It should be doable.
Makes me wonder if ZOS secretly lowered their mystery target-number to make the % gains seem larger/more significant.

VDoom1

Yes! We can do it!

I have to say this event has been great in being unpredictable. Sure we all had some guesses, we will win or we won't. But it's really turned on a dime on occasion. If we hadn't gotten yesterdays 16%+ or today's 13%+ I'm not sure we would reach 100%. Now it very much seems like we will get to 100%.

Also it's been great with the teamwork and everyone (or many) leading groups and informing others. If anything it feels like the community has come together so we can all get some awesome rewards.

I hope we see more of these kind of events in the future.

dan958

Yes! We can do it!

runagate

I'm very impressed that everyone's efforts - streamers like jhartellis and classykatie - forum warriors, guilds, people sitting in summerset ready to port those from the EU or NA that are visiting. I didn't think we'd reach 76% at all, let alone this early.

BlackEar

I think tomorrow we will see a 5 % increase, so it will still be very close.

Very fun event, indeed...

SophiCat

uuuhhhhh folks.... HEY GUYS!!!! WTF??? If you want to get closer to the 100% shouldn't you make a char on the server you dont usually play on and get the achievement over there too? I've run into several peeps while doing taxi service that havent bothered to do that.... seems we ought to be educating them on the subject!! LOL

maciopa

Yes! We can do it!

Remember to tell your guild mates about that event and include that info in Guild's MoTD!

rumple9

Yes! We can do it!

Shame we won't be able to furnish such a big house properly because there aren't enough housing slots

I wish I had such problem... Right now my only house is a tiny room in a shady Inn...

Other, as some have said this event's outcome was decided before it started. 100% of all subscribed players with Summerset would be impossible. And no way ZOS would announce this and have it fail

But as they said when they announced it it's not 100% of people with Summerset, or even 100% with ESO+ and Summerset. It's 100% of whatever goal they've chosen.

They don't want to give us the actual number because it would be used to speculate on the game's total population and they don't want that information out there (especially based on an inaccurate estimate) so they used a percentage instead. We don't know if it's 1,000 people or 100,000 - only that ZOS thinks it's reasonable.

Ashryn

Yes! We can do it!

You know...

I'm pretty sure that when they first made the announcement I saw that that number was 500,000 (hence it would have to be 100% of 500,000). But when I went back to check on it again I couldn't find it... and I know I wasn't dreaming!!!!!

I wish I was so optimistic. I think we'll do it, but honestly we have no way of knowing where we truly stand. A % target is useless information for us without knowing what the percent is out of. I suspect a lot of momentum has come from people who already own the game. For all we know, we might have tapped out the current playerbase and the remaining 25% has to be made up by convincing players that don't already own Summerset to buy it. Granted, if I didn't already have Summerset, I'd be super tempted to buy it now which is obviously the intention. Lets hope that enough people decide to buy it!
