So just to clarify, it's one reward box per account per day now, not one per character per day like it was before.

Will the rewards be the same as the Undaunted Rewards (dungeon motifs, pets, etc)? @ZOS_RichLambert

I was wondering when someone would point this out. @ZOS_GinaBruno it really SHOULD be PER CHARACTER and not PER ACCOUNT if you are actually looking to make up for the debacle that was the Undaunted event.

Wow, you really want those motif pages to be worthless. There are already people who farmed over 100 boxes during the event. You would like them to have the opportunity to farm over 300 more? People won't be able to give away scalecaller and fang lair.

And this is bad in what way? LOL

AzraelKrieg

Thank you @ZOS_RichLambert

Ramber

will it be loot from the former event or the current one? ie. is the 130 mounts still on the table?

Hotdog_23

This is awesome, thanks.

rabidmyers

umm hell yeah? yeah... HELL YEAH! best mmorpg right here guys

lientier

thank you.

Ryath_Waylander

Thank you very much and also thank you for not extending the event. I cannot walk away from free stuff so I play till the wee hours during an event. The cumulative sleep deprivation from any event longer than a week wrecks me. The last extended event almost killed me

Maybe try to sleep and realise ESO is just a game and will be there after you have a good rest?

It really amazes me how could you even consider making an event requiring the use of a tool that has so many known issues for so long...

Well it is ZoS, after all.

@ZOS_RichLambert

You've just renewed some of my faith and respect in you guys!

Now, ditch the clown crates entirely and you got me!

Assigning one reward box per account per day is fair. If that had been the case for the first Undaunted Event, there probably wouldn't have been many FG I exploiters, it wouldn't put 'altoholics' at an unfair advantage over those who prefer to develop/invest in only a few toons (no one enjoys being put at a disadvantage for their play style/preferences ie. look at nerfs), and probably less overall frustration outside of the broken GF tool. But the event didn't last very long, so people probably would have felt more or less 'satisfied'.

For this follow up, they made the right choice. It creates fairness between players (those who have nothing but time on their hands and those who don't).

Just my two cents.

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 have proposal: Next time you wanna do undaunted event pls do tie the rewards to pledges and/or Bolgrul undaunted daily.
It would still allow us to celebrate undaunted challenges or in case of some lowbie lvls get a reward through Bolgrul.

Never again, I ask of you never again make these rewards come from bonus undaunted rewards for random normal.

Synthwavius

Nice. First step of fixing a problem is admitting that you might have it. I'm surprised in a good way.

@Jamdarius that's an awesome idea to use Bolgrul too!

Why not just skip the Activity Finder for the Undaunted event and make the box drop from the daily pledges hand-in next year?

Because that means new players wont be able to take part, they cant be linked to the pledges, simple as that.

While the gesture from @ZOS_RichLambert is nice to see, the great thanks people are showing for communication from ZoS is a bit misguided, they should of been communicating through the torture that the event was, because it was severley lacking on many levels.

Again the extra rewards will be nice, and for that ZoS get my thanks and appreciation, but im not thanking them for communication that should of come during the event not 2 days after it's finished.

Zephard

Thank you.

Great job screwing over some of your players and leaving others happy. Some of us won't be around for most of the new life festival, so we had to deal with the massive frustration of group finder to get our tickets to get the mount and now get to miss out on extra boxes too since you are making it part of an event I will be mostly absent for. If your game didn't have an amazing community I would have quit playing by now.

Does it really matter what rewards they were giving out during this event? If you are going to be absent and not participate you are missing out on whatever was planned anyway. Or do you mean to tell me that you would have had different plans if you knew before now that they were going to have these extra prizes?

Reistr_the_Unbroken

Well, at least I can finally try an event for once

Cambruin

So what exactly are dailies? Is the daily dungeon and daily battleground considered a daily?

if the first event would have worked I would have had more boxes as I tank and heal so can get into groups relatively fast. As it was was lucky to complete on 1 toon and after I got the tickets needed for the stupid last feather gave up on doing more since it really wasn't worth the frustration.

I shouldn't have to participate in a 2nd event to make up for what I missed out on in the first event because crap wasn't working.

I believe there are special New Life dailies only given out during this event. I wasn't around last year but that's what I've read.

Ryath_Waylander

Haha @SHADOW2KK, I tell myself that every time

Jimmy

Thanks Rich!!

Rikkadir

Thank you, much appreciated.
I personally didn't have any trouble with the 'Activity Finder/Dungeon Finder' on the PS4.

Varana

I really appreciate the gesture. Thanks.

This, however -

Really? Do you, like, read your own bug forum? There have been reports about this throughout the year, esp. after Wolfhunter, and they never stopped.
How can you think the issues were resolved then?

Atreidus

Awesome. And a account -limitation. Can not wait

/edit: dailys are this blue quests. And it seems that there will be some which are only for this event.

Cambruin

But only given by a specific quest NPC I suppose. The kind that has you run around and do menial tasks. Not through the daily PvP quest?

Honestly, dailies and lootboxes should have never been introduced into MMOs. Dailies are the skinner box at it's purest and most simplest form and yet 99% seems to be thankful for it. Why?
