Was just on the test server, and saw a dragon flying over Daggerfall. It looked incredible. It flew over the town for a while, and I saw some of the townspeople running indoors in terror.* Then the dragon left.
If you have access to the test server, I recommend going and staying in Daggerfall for a while. It's worth seeing.
(*Although some others didn't seem too upset by a dragon flying overhead, and just stayed where they were. Brave souls, I guess.)
I'm extremely disappointed that the last onyx berry is placed behind a pay wall, when the original plan was for a Cyrodiil event. It is a very dishonest direction to take this year long event.
(Math before coffee, except after 3, is not for me)
Soo...
No Murkmire event? No Clockwork City Event?
Disappointed.
Could have done Clockwork/Murkmire during the Anniversary event............ so, it was a personal choice to do/not to do really. Reference week 5 of the event, I believe...........
So you don't have to come to Elsweyr to get tickets? Dragons will show up in normal zones?

Since they announced going with a yearlong dragon theme, I think it makes sense and my understanding is that participation only requires Elsweyr, not any DLC. I don’t see how it can be construed as dishonest, although I understand being disappointed if you were hoping for other events to return instead.
Perhaps they will give everyone access to Elsweyr during the event anyway to give people a taste? This was the case for Orsinium and Imperial City.

I mean, at the same time, why bother playing an MMORPG if you aren't going to play the content. So, yea, I see absolutely nothing dishonest about this at all either.

Gotta increase their sales on Elsweyr somehow.
EARN EVENT TICKETS
During the Dragon Rise event, all regular monsters in the Northern Elsweyr zone have a rare chance to drop Event Tickets when defeated. However, should you slay a boss monster in the same zone, an Event Ticket drop is guaranteed! Don’t forget to loot everything you defeat. You can earn two Event Tickets this way each day of the event.
During the event period, the Impresario will stock the following items:
The Onyx Indrik Pet
All four Indrik Feathers
All four Onyx Indrik Berries (including the final one, allowing you to summon your Onyx Indrik!)
The fact that one must buy Elsweyr, in order to obtain the last event tickets and thus the last berry for the Onyx Indrik, is simply a new impudence of Zenimax, or a coercion.

They aren't going to give free access. Though they ARE selling elyswyr at 50% off. So they aren't completely heartless
I find the Dragon Rise Event a little confusing regarding the work together and unlock exclusive rewards. The set up looks the same as for the Psijic Villa - and that was per account per platform to be counted towards the goal. It doesn't really spell that out, so is it per toon per platform, or per account per platform? The post does say all Elsweyr players, but doesn't specify further. Anyone know the answer?

Thanks so much. I just wish I wasn't out of the country from 9th to 13th. My husband will login to get my daily for me but I'm not sure if he can be convinced into doing an event, probably not. I look forward to it all anyway.
Hmm, so looks like there will not be enough event tickets to purchase feathers for one last nascent indrik after evolving the final one. Would have liked all 5 types, but like hell I'm gonna buy tickets for crowns

I have to agree with this. Not only that, and putting aside the fact that you gave IC for free, all four events for Q3 have been behind a paywall. I'm ESO Plus on 3 of 4 accounts, so not really an issue personally I guess. The only indrik I wanted on my 4th account was the onyx indrik. I only own the Theives Guild dlc, so could only participate in half the Life of Crime event. I don't have Orsinium. I did get IC so thanks for that anyway, and I won't be able to participate in Dragon Rise. So basically I busted my ass to get the 3 berries and as many feathers as possible in one and a half events,and won't get the 4th onyx berry. Can I get a refund on the 2 feathers and 3 berries I did buy?

I love reading all the guides from other players! Truth be told, I was teaching so I didn't see that ZOS had released a schedule for Q4 until I saw this thread. Very helpful! Thank you, marius_buys.
Also, can I just say that I am thrilled that ZOS released a schedule for Q4. With lots of holidays coming up and players having requested better forewarning for a long time, this is a great step forward for ZOS. Much better communication than before!

You know, people made the same argument about the Warden Class and it didn't fly then. But its interesting the people most in an uproar about all of this are either people that no longer play the game and for some reason think they should still have their opinions heard. Or people that haven't bothered to buy the DLC and somehow think they are entitled to participate on the grounds that they play the game.
ZOS can't afford to just give out free things. Thats not how any of this works. If its free for you, someone is somehow paying for it elsewhere. In this case, they are expecting all of this money they spent on free pets, costumes, housing items, charity and sweepstakes is going to generate them profits that exceed the expenses of everything they gave away.
And here you are angry because a for-profit business is seeking profits.

The tickets is 2 the first time you kill an dragon on your account / server.
Assume the reward boxes drop like standard loot.
