Event Ticket requirements for Dawn of the Dragonguard?

vibeborn

Are we really required to both kill a dragon AND do a dungeon from the Scalebreaker or Wrathstone DLCs?
Other events have handed out the tickets like candy, but not this one apparantly
Is it because ZOS has a goal of having every player with access play the dungeons? Or is it merely a typo and we don't actually have to do that?

You can do the dungeons on normal, so not too bad.

And the Dragons are currently being Zerged, so the hardest part is getting a hit in.

And what about if one doesn't have access to the dungeons? Are those going to be screwed over for getting tickets?

I suppose you're right I'll just have to do both things and pray

Is there and announcement for the Dawn of the Dragonguard event yet?

Would sadly appear so I'm afraid, maybe ZOS guesstimated that most players would get Elsweyr and the other DLCs

I haven't seen any official announcement yet, but I was looking at the save the cats-site that has the events at the bottom or so

I'm not sure where you've seen this to judge whether there is a typo or not. As far as I can tell there hasn't been any additional information on the event given yet. However, if nothing has changed from the PTS patch notes when the event was tested, there is no actual need to do a dungeon.

"Kill Overland Dragons in Northern Elsweyr, or the final boss in Sunspire Trial, to receive one Event Ticket.
Kill Overland Dragons in Southern Elsweyr, or complete any dungeon from the Wrathstone or Scalebreaker DLCs, to receive an additional Event Ticket. For clarity, the DLCs include the following dungeons: Frostvault, Depths of Malatar, Moongrave Fane, Lair of Maarselok"

Even with a zerg dragons now take more time to kill due to the mechs/DoTs changes. And in Southern Elsweyr we are required to travel less to the dragon's hunting grounds.

Oh that is most pleasant reading, if it will be same as on PTS. I hope that is the case

That's ok then, I can kill dragons, save kittens and get my tickets!

Enemy-of-Coldharbour

Looks like we need to do both:

Yeah that was the source I got too, but now with PTS notes I'm confused

Aisleyne

I'm inclined to be hopeful based on Gina's last post in the Undaunted Event update. If they really believe the impact of the Activity Finder/dungeon component for the Dawn of the Dragonguard event is minimal, then how could a dungeon be mandatory for half of your tickets? In any case, I don't expect we'll know for sure until the day before it starts.

Hallothiel

Bloody well hope its not do a dungeon as well.....

But those website ‘info’ pages have a history of being badly written & they always seem to need to clarify things!

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom
@ZOS_AntonioP

Any chance can clarify please?

Guyle

Odd, I don't think they've ever started an event on a Tuesday before. Ppl should try and get in asap and get their tickets before they turn off the event a few hours later

Thanks for this! I was trying to remember where I read the description of the event that indicated you can either kill overland dragons OR dungeon dragons (or a combination thereof). The SDSC website's wording is unclear and does make it sound like we have to kill an overland dragon and a dungeon dragon.

But, I'm really hoping for the former based on the fact that it's how it worked on PTS - I doubt they'd change the code to work differently - and Gina's comment that dungeons are only a small component of the upcoming event. If everyone was required to run one of these recent DLC dungeons, you can bet the Activity Finder will be used more heavily than for the Undaunted Event, where you can just go in and solo FG1 (or duo in my case).

For what it's worth, on the german site it says OR, as in either overland dragon OR dlc dungeon.

Why, why do they insist on being so mysterious when it comes to events? Is vague or contradictory info, or no info at all supposed to build suspense for the event or something? I know they’re busy what with the group finder and EU server trash fires, but it seems like clarifying the confusion wouldn’t take much time at all. 😕

Tommy_The_Gun

Are there any official info about this event yet ?

I can only find what was on PTS:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/495873/pts-patch-notes-v5-2-2#latest

- Kill Overland Dragons in Northern Elsweyr, or the final boss in Sunspire Trial, to receive one Event Ticket.
- Kill Overland Dragons in Southern Elsweyr, or complete any dungeon from the Wrathstone or Scalebreaker DLCs, to receive an additional Event Ticket. For clarity, the DLCs include the following dungeons:

- Frostvault
- Depths of Malatar
- Moongrave Fane
- Lair of Maarselok

So we technically only have to kill one Overland Dragon in Northern Elsweyr and then the other Overland Dragon in Southern Elsweyr to get 2 tickets ?

That is why I ask if we have any newer information, because PTS is quite old news and something could have changed.

I suspect that the "and" was just an unfortunate poor choice of conjunction-- sort of like "You can earn a ticket by doing A and you can also earn a ticket by doing B," which is a bit ambiguous although I would interpret the "and" in that case as being equivalent to "or." They were just listing our options-- like if you go into a restaurant and the server tells you that "Our specials today are A, B, C, D, and E," they don't mean that you must order all of those things together to get the special.

I doubt they could have an multiple action requirements for event tickets, as in how to keep track.
Yes its doable but would require coding.

It's not multiple actions to get the same ticket drop. Instead of tickets dropping in pairs like they do for others events you get them individually; so a total of 2 tickets per day but for 2 different actions.

What's unclear is whether that has to be 1 open-world dragon and 1 dungeon or if it could be 1 Northern Elseweyr dragon and 1 Southern Elseweyr dragon.

Maybe we'll get a response if I drop a swear word in the thread.

The way I read it was 1 ticket in Northern Elsweyr and 1 ticket in Southern Elsweyr. Surely that would be a lot easier to code-- a simple Boolean flag for each zone, reset each day at 1 AM EST-- than having to keep track of how many tickets you'd already earned that day.

Simply because the Event hasn’t been officially announced yet does not mean ZOS is intentionally keeping the details vague or mysterious.

Players just have to be patient and wait for the announcement.

Personally, I enjoy the mechanics in the Wrathstone and Scalebreaker dungeons.

Offering an extra ticket for those would be a good incentive for players to finally learn the mechanics in those dungeons.

Yeah their explanations aren't very well written, i still don't know which berry to use to evolve my bloody indrik to make it golden hahah

UrbanMonk

1 ticket locked behind Chapter. Well Played...

Havnt bought it and WILL NOT buy it. Doesn't matter how much they try to persuade me through those Surveys offering it for upto 25$ discount at a price of 14.99$.

Dusk_Coven

@ZOS_GinaBruno Is the Dragonhold Prologue dragon going to count for tickets and will it be considered an exploit to abandon and re-take the mission to kill that dragon more than once on the same character?

SeaGtGruff

I buy all DLCs and chapters as soon as they're available, even the DLCs I currently have little interest in-- namely, the dungeon DLCs. I want all of the game's content to be available to me in case I ever do want to do it-- because even if one's character is poopy at all three group roles, one never knows when one's friends or guild mates are going to drag one off into a dungeon or trial, so it's best to make sure that one has all content at one's disposal.
