Event tickets in Crown Store are starting *too late*

Minyassa

"Late in Q1" is too late to save your dedicated non-PvPers from being forced into something they loathe for however many days it takes to earn that damned berry fragment. If you're going to do that, do it NOW so we can buy them and skip having to participate in Midyear Mayhem. Forcing someone kicking and screaming into something just makes them hate it more and it's beyond obnoxious to have chosen that event as an important one for the mount knowing how many people would rather just not play the game than have to PvP.

And before someone starts on about how it's a choice and we don't have to, blah blah blah...if you were being given a million dollars but you had to dig around in raw sewage for a third of it, most people would bloody well dig in sewage and vomit their guts out a dozen times and stink after a score of showers and be just as horrified by that as I am by PvP, but they'd damn well feel like they "had to" and would do it anyway. And it would still be a crappy, horrible experience.

Too late for you. In time for me! I have just 3 feathers now, but I want my Indrikk asap!

I did the last event enough to have twelve tickets in my inventory already since I don't pvp yet what happened to prevent you from earning extra tickets?

As for pvp I understand your feelings towards it but try it you never know you might have fun.

I do not believe I have to have every feather/berries right away the mount will come from just playing the game and participating in other upcoming events I do enjoy.

You can have mine. Now that they are going to be selling them, I have little interest in them. They are more work than they are worth.

I started PVPing during a midyear mayhem for the double AP towards motifs and now its something I do regularly so being "forced" to do it doesn't necessarily mean you'll hate it. You could actually decide you quite enjoy it, like I did.

But regardless of that, you aren't forced to do it anyway. It's only the first event so I'm sure there will be time to catch up for the missed ones during the later events if you chose not to participate. Even if you can't, you can always buy the last tickets you need at the end of Q1. The last berry fragment will only be release during the last event so you won't be getting it any later by waiting to buy them anyway

They've stated outright that each berry for a specific Indrik color will be available only during the event when it's released, which was confusing as they made it first sound like they would be keeping them all for purchase like they do with the feathers. So from what I gathered, if we don't get one every single event we will be screwed for that particular morph. I'd love for that to be clarified and my impression be wrong. I could happily skip that one and just catch up later IF it's an option.

As for extra tickets, I did get them and I spent them on feathers for other iterations of the base indrik because as usual they told us a little of how things worked but not enough. If they'd said that we'd have only one chance for each berry piece I would've saved them.

personally - i hate dusting and vacuuming...but, it's one of those things that just gotta get down...

lol I like how you're conveniently ignoring the fact that all the past events (where you could earn the feathers) have been exclusively PvE events and that PvPers were forced to participate in those.

And people say PvPers cry a lot...

One thing people never accuse PvPers of crying a lot over is all the lag and endless riding and infinite load screens in PvE. It's like those things aren't even a problem there.

The majority of events so far is PVE related, PVPers are the one that are shafted. If anything, we PVPers should be complaining that the events so far are PVE related.

Minyassa

So complain. ZOS will never separate the two if people keep bending over and letting them force crap on us.

Why is it so hard for some people to read and understand how this event is designed? Reading comprehension, people... English isn't even my native language but I understood that berries will work the same way as feathers.

Like the Indrik Feathers during the 2018 Q4 events, upon the start of each new event during Q1, the Impresario will stock new Indrik Berries and any previous Q1 Indrik Berries for the Dawnwood Indrik. She will also continue to stock all four Indrik Feathers required to summon a new Nascent Indrik throughout 2019.

And they will only be removed and replaced with new berries in the next quarter.

Please note that the Indrik Berries you can collect each quarter will ONLY be available during that quarter. Previous Indrik Berries will not return once the next quarter has begun, meaning this is your only chance to acquire this specific evolution.

You could have collected 80 tickets from four events we've already had. There is no reason to expect that to be too different with the next set of four. You can easily skip one event entirely and still get your evolution. Stop panicking the second you hear the word PvP.

@Minyassa I think they meant per quarter, not per event, regarding the berries. So if you miss the berries of an event, you can still get them during the following event, as long as the events are still in the same quarter, because afterwards the berries disappear. For example, if you missed berries of bloom during the mid-year mayhem, you can still get them up until the jester's festival, but after that they are not available anymore. At least thats my understanding of how it works.

I love PvP. I don’t want that mount. I deleted my feathers. I wish ZOS wouldn’t foist an encore Midyear Mayhem event on us at all because it makes Vivec unplayable.
