PTS Update 21 - Feedback Thread for Anniversary Jubilee

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official feedback thread for the Anniversary Jubilee. Note this event will only be available to test until February 4. After you have a chance to check out the different quests and rewards, us know what you think!

Tabatha

Where is the world boss daily quest giver?

The Jubilee Cake Voucher from the Crown Store is not working. It says at the top right of the screen "This offer is no longer valid", so the Donolan chef is not giving us the new jubilee cake.

Edit: This is on my NA main character.

I also can not get the Jubilee Cake Voucher to work. I've tried it on my existing copy toons and a freshly made template character. But it always says "This offer is no longer valid".

Agreed. Attempted to bypass the voucher, which is in my inventory but unusable, by talking to the Chef directly but he insists he can do nothing unless I have a voucher.

This was with an existing low level toon, but I do not think he did the Jubilee Cake Quests last year.

Karminathevamp

Posting two pictures of the problem.





As you can see, I have the voucher in my inventory but I am not able to use it.

Sanctuary_Reaper

Seems they cant get anything to work..

UrQuan

Is there a reason why the Ra Gada motif isn't one that can drop from the boxes? I know it didn't drop last year either, but it just seemed like such a strange oversight. It's not like it's a motif that's especially rare or difficult to get, or like it's more sought after than most or anything.

It just seems odd that it's been left out of the loot tables.

PeterUnlustig

Im actually clueless. What happened the last 11 hours on pts? Did you not check once the ONLY real thing you added?

WhiteCoatSyndrome

Second that the voucher isn't working. I also tried bypassing the quest by using previous years' cakes, no dice.

I noticed the Anniversary Boxes are dropping anyway so that's at least testable.

Mix

I have the same problem on both my main (who has done the quest before) and a character I've made since then who isn't even a year old. Both get the "Offer is no longer valid" thing.

PC/NA

bleissa

Same here. Voucher isn't working.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom how are we suppose to test today if the voucher does not work? Several people in my guild including my husband and daughter are having the same issue as stated above. Please respond.

Anniversary Boxes are dropping from doing the correct dailies without the voucher/new cake. I tested it and was getting them from writs today.

RaddlemanNumber7

I did the 7 daily crafting writs on one character. Received an Anniversary Reward Crate (Crafting) for each one. I did get 20 Platinum dust, but no Prophet style pages.

The cake voucher still does not work. The Shimmering Indrik pet is not in the Impresario's store.

Currygaminginc

On top of that Crowns are not replenishing daily on PTS like they normally do. I feel like this cycle is a bit broken.

mistpeak

The voucher isn't working for me either.

I'm assuming it will show up later in the week, as the patch notes indicated that the pet wouldn't be for sale until week 5 of the event, so we may see it on Friday.

I did all 7 crafting dailies on all 8 of my toons (I only have 8 on PC). So, I got 56 boxes. I think the drop rate of the outfit pages is pretty decent for the crafting writs. But, it's really easy to do all 7 dailies on all of your toons, so getting lots of boxes during this week shouldn't be a problem for most.

I'll test tonight to see how it goes doing delve and WB dailies. These will take more time, so I'm not sure I could complete as many of these in a given day. If I'm counting correctly, there are 14 delve/WB dailies.

If the Cyrodiil dailies include the town dailies, then I think it should be ok to get a decent number of boxes, Will additional campaigns be opened up for these (like Midyear Mayhem), or are all the PvErs going to have to cram into the non-Vivec campaigns?

The pledges/trials one will be more difficult to get boxes. You can only do 3 pledges in a day on each toon (don't know how many trials there are). But, these take more time, so probably fewer boxes will be obtained each day. Especially when not everyone can do trials.

At least we do get a 5th week to work on whichever activity we need to do to try and complete our outfit collections, but I noticed that the boxes are specific. So, you still have to do Cyrodiil dailies for Abnur Tharn's pages - you can't do just crafting dailies to get them.

If the drop rates are adjusted with the amount of boxes obtainable during each week, then it's looking a bit better than the Jester's Festival, which has a limit of 3 special you can earn in any given day, in which the Cadwell pages drop.

However, with 2 tickets earnable each day, with the event lasting 5 weeks (35 days) we'll get a whopping 70 tickets. But, we can only hold 12, so after we purchase the berry, we have to start buying other things. If we want to continue with feathers, that's fine, but if we have enough feathers for the time being, that just leaves outfit pages because the pet won't be for sale until week 5. But, if we wanted to use tickets for outfit pages, it would be best to wait until later in the event to see which ones we might need. However, we can only hold 12 tickets, so we'll have to start spending some. Which means we could, potentially, purchase a page only to then get it in a box later in the event.

It's this kind of limitation that will leave us all frustrated. If we could hold more tickets, we could make more informed purchases during the event, waiting until the end to determine if we want to spend some on a few missing pages or buy more feathers. I would suggest that during the Anniversary Celebration, that the event ticket limit be temporarily raised. However, I can see that this would be problematic as players would have to spend down their tickets to 12 or less by the end of the event, or they will lose them once the cap is reduced. But why is this cap so low, anyway? Could it be raised to, say, 20, at least? The only reason to have it this low is to encourage players to spend tickets on things they might not need, rather than lose them, and then potentially end up wasting them

I really hope this is not working as designed. I was thinking week five was sort of a catch all week so people who don't/can't do a certain content would at least have one week they could get any of the styles.

I hope the Companion style pages don't have an abysmal drop rate...

I hope it will work like you describe, but I noticed that the boxes I picked up yesterday were labeled "Anniversary Box - Crafting." This leads me to believe that only the boxes labeled as such will drop the Prophet's pages. And, only boxes labeled "Anniversary Box - Cyrodiil" will drop Tharn's pages. Otherwise, what would be the point of specifically labeling these boxes? Perhaps it's to assist in coding which boxes will drop in which week, but it may also be to code which pages drop in which boxes.

We'll find out on Friday when we can do all activities for anniversary boxes.

Lady_Rosabella

I noticed today that you have both the Luminous Berries of Bloom and Luminous Berries of Budding yet there is only the Dawnwood Berries of Bloom, will this be the case when this goes live? If so, when are players suppose to finish their Dawnwood Indrik morph?

It is my understanding that each morph will require a Nascent Indrik plus each of these berries:
1. Bloom
2. Budding
3. Growth
4. Ripeness

Has anyone that has never done a anniversary event ever on their account been able to do this?

Curious if it sees the old cakes and prevents or not.

If this part has been disabled on purpose for test, can we have feedback from ZOS so we don't worry it's broken @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

This has been corrected for me as of January 29, 2019 6:05PM

After eating the cake, every time my character ports, (wayshrine, door or enter dungeon)to shows the eating a plate of cake again animation. Continues to happen even after refreshing my food.

WhiteCoatSyndrome

I was able to complete the 'Ache For Cake' quest on my main today and receive the Sweetroll Cake. Successfully got two Event tickets too.

EDIT:
Note for future - The Fighter's Guild, Mage's Guild, and Undaunted dailies do NOT count as delve dailies.

Yes, hubby went on the PTS today and was also able to complete and get his two tickets. That was what we wanted to test out to make sure we were getting the two event tickets each day. :-)

"Week 2 (Lyris Titanborn): Delve & World Boss Dailies: 1/29 10:00am EST – 1/30 9:59am EST"

I completed Delve Dailies for Clockwork City, Murkmire, Wrothgar, Vvardenfell and Summerset. I received an Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Bosses) crate for each of those five quests. No style pages dropped for me.

I also did an Anvil Notice Board daily delve quest, and Bolgrul's Undaunted daily delve quest. I did not receive an Anniversary Jubilee Gift crate for either of those two quests. Not sure if that is by design. Maybe we need a list of which delve quests and WB quests are going to be valid for these Anniversary Jubilee Gift crates.

I didn't try any WB quests.

I finally got my sweet-roll flavoured Jubilee cake, used it, and received 2 writ vouchers. Now, whenever I zone, my character is stuffing her face with cake when she arrives. Five weeks of this and everyone will be needing some new clothes.

I think it also needs to be asked why there are no Mannimarco style sheets. He was one of the original Five Companions, even if he did leave the group due to creative differences.

opaj

Is there a list anywhere of what counts as a delve/boss daily?

It's weird that the Anvil wanted board doesn't count.

If Bogrul's dailies also don't count, are there any dailies in the vanilla game that count for this event?
Or do you need ESO Plus or DLCs to participate during week 2?

Same here with hubby and myself. Every time we travel to a wayshrine, dungeon, or house we get the full animation of eating the cake. We can stand at the wayshrine and wait for animation to end or start walking and literally "eat and run." It's very annoying.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom is this working as intended and something we are going to have to deal with for five weeks or not intended and needing to be fixed before the celebration begins?

thank you for this. I decided to try it out, but thought that any delve would do.

Disappointed to learn that Bolgrul's quest and the ones in the Gold Coast don't count for this quest. I had counted 14 total, but if those don't count, then I'm assuming the one you can get in Hew's Bane doesn't count either (it's either a WB or a delve quest each day). So, that leaves 10, which is still a lot, but if you don't have any of the DLC, then it looks like you aren't able to participate during that week.

I wasn't able to get in and test week 2 last night. I'm hoping to be able to test the Cyrodiil quests tonight. Curious to learn if the town quests count.

I think I'll not test the cake for now, as I don't want to be stuffing my face every time I port.

"Week 3" (Abnur Tharn): Cyrodiil dailies 1/30 10:00am EST – 1/31 9:59am EST.

I did the 9 dailies in Cropsford, and received 9 Anniversary Jubilee Gift (Cyrodiil) boxes. Dropped 2 Abnur Tharn style sheets. Had to leave Cyrodiil half way through doing these quests so that I could eat some more Jubilee cake and keep the buff going.

Did a scouting mission. Didn't get a Jubilee crate. So, I guess battle board quests don't qualify.
