Ok seriously, the event needs to be extended....

Ironically i just logged out of a game on my phone in which i got 2500 premium currency because of maintenance/ an update. I found a lot of newer games (on google play) are compensating you for inconvenience. Its a stark contrast to ZOS who will neither fix the problems nor extend the event.

I think i only collected maybe 20% of the possible boxes i could have collected this even because it was to frustrating of an event for the reward given.

I don't want this event extended at all. Undaunted event is awful.

Either extend the NL event OR for the first 7 or 10 days double the tickets and double the loot.

You gotten free stuff all week, stop crying. No wonder they don't fix stuff when they every day have to read about all the cry babies not getting extra day.. Eat a snickers and go outside and get some fresh air..

Hell no. This event has gone on long enough.

Your absolutely right! We should never complain about problems with the game. We should just be silent. I have spent $30 in the last two days on micro transactions and not a single penny of that went to this game. In fact, less than 10% of the money i spend on gaming goes to this game. So ZOS is missing out on a quite a chunk of potential income because they are competing with other games for both my time and my money... and losing.


Games fail as do game companies because of exactly how ZOS is acting. There is a reason why both WoW and Eve have been around more than a decade and its not because their games are buggy and broke constantly.

No it does not. There is no good reason to extend the event.

Except the dungeon finder not working for the first 2 days, then having a 6 hour maintenance on a Saturday, then directly having Steam login issues for another 8 hours or so.

Honestly, I'd rather get a box or two for each toon I have instead of doing more dungeons tonight. I didn't open any of my reward mails until yesterday, and you could spot by the mail arrival times and quantity what days the finder was a mess. (PS4NA - I even commented in another thread that it worked fine for me the first few days, but that changed after the update)

The most frustrating thing was having four people in a group unable to get into a dungeon. I stopped playing ESO out of frustration the night that happened. This kind of bug impacts almost all players: scrub, casual, elites, whatever. My main motivation for event participation was getting motifs to learn or sell. I am happy about all the gold and motif progress I've made, as well as others getting rich to spend more gold on stuff I sell in the trader.

I'm dismayed that I couldn't get as many of the things I wanted, but it's not going to ruin my life. The problem for ZOS is that the much of the player base now have bitter feelings due to the event replaying last year's bugs/problems. Sending everyone an extra reward mail (or ten) in the mail would certainly help.

Of course it costs something. Additional work hours of developers. Customers expectations were just too high and kinda unreal and to be fair many ppl right now act like a spoiled childs demanding something that was never promised to them at 1st place.

I find it very amusing how expecting the game we all payed for, and are still paying for with subscriptions in many cases, to work in all cases is "too high and unreal". Feel free to correct me but if you were to buy lets say a new gaming PC, you get it delivered and after setting everything up you realize, damn my GPU doesnt work, you wouldnt just sit down and say "well expecting everything i payed for to work is too high of an expectation and kinda unreal"?

ESO is not a product, but a service...you are talking apples and oranges...`

I find this amusing how people after having many occasions to see what increased amount of players can do to server performance still expecting ESO servers especially during events to work better then in NASA. YES , servers working 100% perfectly in all cases is unreal. By that time people playing MMO games should already know that.

There is difference between buying physical product which PC is and lending acces to virtual services. In case of new and fresh PC You buy physicsl prduct and subject that sold it to You guarantees it'll work and if it wont subject is obliged to compensate You the loss by repairing/exchanging product as the part of warranty card . In term of lending acces to virtual service which ESO is part of terms of service You agreed on states that developer is not obliged to provide perfect acces 100% of a time without any disruptions.

Yeah right people also need to walk with their dogs , have some movies to watch , food to eat , they need to also sleep. Should event be also extended because of that ? I am pretty much sure Zenimax devs are aware people have their lives but lets be honest if they would have to extend event because someone have something to do then event would last full year. Devs gives time frame for the event if Your life doesnt allow You to partcipate then sorry s*** happens.

Group finder always have issues under higher pressure , it's not sudden suprise. I think people just builded up too high expectations and forgot reality and how overcrowding of servers not only in ESO but in MMOs in general can influence server performance. You say it's a ZoS mistake to run event with broken GF ? You know they were never obliged to run event at all in 1st place. Previous events were extended because main features like getting achievements or collectibles were failing. Here it's just free stuff You can get outside of the event so no reason for extention.

So achievements/collectibles failing vs the entire event save for feathers. Which isn't the only "goal" in the event as this was an event they did last year and there were no feathers to be seen then. And I get there's overcrowding in MMO'S especially with events like this but... This event runs from the 29th of november to the 5th of december where as the other "feather centric" events have much longer running time. Point is ZoS is gonna get backlash for running event in such a short timeframe without even fixing the same issue as last year or making it function a little different so it does run smoother. Putting an event out with a small time frame to do it and then also having it broken just really looks bad on the company if they don't 'make up' for it to the players. For example giving it a little more time for the time lost. Like I said no one NEEDS the event stuff. But ZoS put it out there knowing the GF tool was broken still as it has been for over a year. It's just bad business on their part especially to not even speak on the... really any of the matters that have been happening with this event really besides "we're gonna fix the gf tool" type stuff which... It's still broken.

I get they aren't gonna add more days because of stuff like "Oh no i had no power on friday bc there was an earthquake boohoo i didn't get to play that day much" cause that's something that they aren't responsible for at all but the GF tool is, and it's generally well known that not everyone can just play when there AREN'T as many players on rushing to get the event stuff.

I honestly wouldn't even care if they didn't run the event at all really but they decided too anyway and don't want to deal with any of the problems with it.

When a company does something and it goes wrong like that and they don't really... Do anything to like. Apologize or make up for it or anything it kinda just chases customers away and puts a bad taste in their mouth since it just shows the company isn't very reliable or responsible? Most of the backlash is likely not because people cant do the event but that ZoS isn't showing much signs of improving and without peoples input/saying what they want from ZoS it's harder for ZoS to know what they can improve on.

Other "goals" in this particular event can be obtained outside of the event. Motifs and crown store items can be purchased in game which is what makes this event different from events like witches or jester festivals where certain achievements/collectibles could be obtained only during that events. Yes current event is shorter then other events with feathers however You could obtain 3 feathers per day where during other events 1-2 feathers per day whic basicly makes overall amount of feathers obtainable during that event equal or even higher then during previous feather events.

Either extend the NL event OR for the first 7 or 10 days double the tickets and double the loot.

There was no issue during the event that would make obtaining feathers impossible at any time given when servers were online.
