Undaunted Celebration Event Follow-up

MajBludd

I'm going to repost this from last year..

Wouldn't a better solution have been to listen to the complaints about group finder from last year and actually make sure it worked properly for this year's event?

We screwed up again and didn't listen to feedback from people actually doing the event! Here, here's some mystery boxes with some jute in them!

If it works for NA it doesn't seem very likely that it's caused by Group finder. It's the severs that can't handle the load.

Still, completely unacceptable @saltisol. It's actually worse.

True, cause if so they know how to solve the problem but choose to ignore it.

How about the 3 tickets per day and the berry for the undaunted celebration though? That was an extra 12 tickets for the berry. The new life event only grants 1 ticket per day yes?

As most of you know, the recently completed Undaunted Celebration Event in ESO was plagued with Activity Finder issues. We had similar problems last year, but we thought they were resolved - unfortunately this year the demand once again overwhelmed this particular system, especially during prime-time hours. This led to a really frustrating experience for many of you, so we are going to address the situation by making Mysterious Reward Boxes available during the New Life festival, which starts soon.

This is the way it will work: A Mysterious Reward Box will be given as a bonus reward for completing your first New Life daily quest each day, per account. This means that the first New Life Festival daily you complete on your account will grant one New Life Reward Box, one Event Ticket, and one Mysterious Reward Box. This should help grant you the rewards that you couldn't get through the Activity Finder.

Additionally, we will not hold another in-game event that requires the Activity Finder until we are 100% confident that the tool can support it. Stay tuned for details on that.

I'm more concerned with the Event tickets, and the ability to buy the seed that was only available for this event, will it be added to the next event? Will we get more event tickets so we can buy both seeds?

Ok so.... maybe this was answered already and I missed it but.... how exactly is adding the reward boxes to new life, but NOT adding the missed tickets an even exchange?? Sure we had an extension on Witch’s Festival, but since that was so people could make up tickets and rewards they had missed because of server instability and down time that shouldn’t be getting counted as a “ oh well you should be fine on tickets” kind of thing. Was this supposed to read ‘In addition to the already scheduled rewards, we will up them by an additional ticket and loot box’ or were you seriously planning only one ticket to drop per day for New life? Because if that is the case, a lot of folks are going to get shafted. You already had one event and berry that was behind the paywall last Indrik morph, you have another similar event scheduled... no word on whether this time it will have an eso+ access weekend with it or not... and we have a previously non-disclosed Indrik morph coming for Spectral that folks with presumably have to farm both feathers and berries for as well after having spent their year budgeting tickets and grinding for the four originally announced morphs. (Side note: ANOTHER _Indrik_ ..... really ZOS? Stop being a lazy one-trick pony here.... yes they were cool.... but not 2+ years cool... let’s move on eh?) Sure Undaunted was only 12 tickets... but for some folks those were going to be very important tickets in the grand scheme of things. PLEASE tell us you have a better plan than this.....

I'm having fun, but it's a sort of fun with a bad aftertaste.

Yeah, agreed. I mean it was working on NA just fine, even Xbox so it seems isolated to the EU server and the load of players that play on it.

Thank you. This is a truly good decision.
