I know they’re trying... but is anyone else disappointed in New life event ticket rewards?

I've heard that before. Along with 'We've fixed the group finder! We're not running any more events until we're sure!'


Pardon my skepticism, but you can only cry wolf so many times before people stop believing you.

The outfit pages can be earned from the event boxes, so I don't plan to buy any of those from the vendor.

The announcement article already listed everything she will have for sale, so no guesswork or waiting until the event, unless they sneak something new in.

For me, I only need the final berry, pet, and final feather for a 5th nascent. I'll probably just start buying feathers for a potential evolution I might want next year, and perhaps a page or two of the Skaal motif if I'm missing any by the end of the event.

There's no furniture for sale from her either, as someone mentioned, unless the article has been updated to include such since I read it yesterday.

My tickets won't go to waste, as I can start on another nascent indrik after I create my 5th. And, I can buy outfit pages, but I'll be earning those by doing the event, and will probably just spend gold for the ones I'm missing, if any, by the end of the event.

So, yes, I do wish there were more interesting items for sale, and perhaps there will be, but as of now, its just final berry, pet, and feather, and then more feathers.

But, I think it's great that they're offering every 2019 berry, and there'll be lots of tickets available (if you aren't traveling a lot during the next couple weeks) for players to get missing ones and perhaps even a full set of an earlier evolution.

To be fair this event makes up for the fact that the last 2 events were chapter and dlc exclusive so gives a chance for people that dont have those yet to catch up

If they added even more unique stuff, most people wouldn't be able to afford it. It's unfortunate for you but in the end, they added extra goodies -- you just happen to not like the outfit style.

But those extra goodies can be earned from the event boxes, too, so they're not really extra, just a convenient way to pick up ones you miss, but you can also just buy missing ones from other players.

I think it would have been nice, for players who don't have much left to purchase, to have included some Imperial furniture, like they did with the IC Anniversary Event. These aren't unique items, and with the Enchanted Snow Globe having an Imperial Lighthouse, it would be fitting to have these available for players with excess tickets.

I’m excited that in addition to getting my final snow berry, I’ll be able to get the Dawnwood Indrik that I thought might forever be out of my reach since I only started ESO this past July!

OP, you may just have event fatigue. So skip this one. I'm not interested in the event or the rewards, so I won't be doing it.

Those that really wanted their Indrik or love new styles have a great catch-up mechanic to get what they want after the earlier issues.

Different arguments, different departments, completely different circumstances.

nice Red Herring

I'm glad they are offering all of the berries for those that missed the ones they wanted.

Running any more events that require the Activity Finder.

Undaunted did not require the Activity Finder. You could solo Fungal Grotto I or Banished Cells I for the entire event, or just group in zone chat. Activity Finder wasn't the sole server issue leading to Undaunted's cancellation, and it will not be required when the event relaunches.

Can you at least wait until the event starts and see what is there before complaining about it?

No. That would be impossible to ask someone to do that

Salix_alba

This event has been very fun since 2016 It has pretty much something for everyone you want dancing it has dancing, you want summon-able xp food it has summon-able xp food, you want presents good citizens of Tamriel there are looots of those, you want an indrik pet you can get an indrik pet, skins, writs, mounts, outfit styles, motifs, achievements. Mud balls lets not forget about the mud balls. The game even has lag for those who just want to complain about something. For those who want the lag to stop well they're working on it maybe next year.

Go out make friends and have fun.

I got to one feather for the normal Indrik, then I got bored.

mocap

i disappointed with community gone crazy with all that bloody indregs

Shadow_Akula

Yup. Don’t care bout indriks got my onyx one, don’t care for skaal outfit style, don’t care bout indrik pet, don’t see why they didn’t put some winter themed furnishings up like how they put a selection of imperial furnishings up during the last DB event.

Wouldn’t mind if they removed the stupid limit on tickets. Gonna be maxed tomorrow (already had 2 tix from previous event) and have no incentive to spend and chase any more tickets. 🙄 oh well

ArchangelIsraphel

I was hoping they would have the extremely furry/wintery pets and mounts that were a rare drop from the boxes last year

Linaleah

I did kinda wish that they would maybe put some furnishings on impressario or something. but ah well. what it does mean is that i won't be doing the "gift tickets, get crown crates" promo. cause.. its a pretty minor discount on 4 pack and thanks to all the extra tickets, i won't need even more of them. personaly. if there were some crown only furnishings on the vendor though? that would have been a different story. ah well... I do love it that they brought back all the berries. my indriks are done, but for people who may have missed out on earlier versions or are missing a berry here or there, this is great

Araneae6537

I love the Indriks as I think they are tastefully done (subtle rather than over-the-top effects), are fitting for my many mer characters and I think it’s great to have cool mounts that we can earn in game!

I do agree it would be nice if they either increased or removed the inventory limit on event tickets — you’re already limited on how many you can earn per day. Then more people might be motivated to participate in events even if they don’t want items currently available.

What I'm not liking about this event is making 12 furnishings for a single Deep Winter writ, its going to burn through my supply of heartwood/bast/etc pretty quickly.

The Skaal shield is a must get for anyone with a Nord toon :P

Hapexamendios

I'm just doing enough to collect all the style pages. Two quests a day and a boss.

THIS.
A newer player wouldn't even have enough heartwood/bast to get the Skaal style pages.
I did 10 of those writs today and now my supply of heartwood is close to gone. :'( I do like the Skaal motif, though. I think it looks great.

Agreed! It’s definitely making me selective about which of these writs I do and what i want to work toward. More than that, it highlights what I think many feel is a problem with furniture crafting — the scarcity of the basic materials. I don’t mind that I might need to run some extra Summerset dailies to craft fancy Alinor furnishings, for instance, at one style piece per furnishing. But every wooden furnishing is made from some quantity of heartwood, even basic rough boarded crates.

Heh I bought the pet...figure I might stick em on top of a tree at my house...

Not disappointed at all! What I am disappointed about is not being able to complete the Skaal motif until next year.

This. ^

I didn't get any of those last year, but would have happily used tickets on a few of them.

I did 7 and 3 of them were duplicate pages.

Yeah, the RNG inside RNG is disheartening. I bought the staff page to get below my ticket cap before starting the event - then I did two writs and got - two staff pages.

At least the Skaal pages from writs aren't bound like the Impresario pages-- try to sell them now while the price is still high!

TheImperfect

I needed the last berry for my snow indrik so got that. I plan on getting the little pet with my next tickets. I'm loving having the extra tickets. I really like the skaal outfit style so I would like to complete a set of that if possible. Overall I really like what's on offer.

How could I possibly be disappointed by 5 free tix/day? I say it is a Festivus miracle!
