EVENT TICKET DROPS CAUSE PROBLEMS if they are RNG & ANY MONSTER

Pretty sure this was the developers deciding to take a massive deuce all over their customer support division. What could go wrong, change the way ppl earn rewards so that there will be a massive number of ppl submitting tickets about not getting rewards, at the exact same time as a forced redownload of the entire game in a game that is notorious for having connectivity issues. Someone in that department seriously pissed someone in the development team off.

I would like to say that this is just a wild conspiracy theory, but honestly, after working in large corporate offices for 20+ years, I wouldn't be entirely surprised if you were correct.

Truthfully? Apart from the money grab theory, this is the only plausible explanation I've heard on this forum.

Tying then to dailies would've made perfect sense, as they've done in most previous events. HOWEVER a lot of new threads/posts have been being made in recent weeks about every event/ticket being the same where you just do x dailies for x tickets. ZOS heard people, listened, & changed the format. I've said it before & I'll say it again, people should be real careful when going on forum crusades.

Truth. Be very careful what you ask for.

But then the dailies often require you to fight trash or bosses, no? So you could STILL miss out on tickets if a trash dropped them and you didn't notice. Then you complete your dailies and wonder "where are they?"

Unless you're talking about daily writs? Would they drop from the daily writs too?? If so, I anticipate a LOT more crafters in Murkmire...

Bad idea, but fortunately, you don't have to deal with it if you buy event tix from the crown store, they won't get lost then. How good fo zos to help us in this fashion. Bravo!

Wait I see nothing about it, but normal or vet BRP will or will not have double weapon drops?

Either get them from a daily quest completion or IN THE BOX.

I don’t really care what they drop from, but ticket drops should never be RNG.

It's worked easily for me, so far. Less than 5 minutes each day, killed 3 & 4 mobs right by a wayshrine for my tickets. But, then, it never occurs to me to group up and rampage across world bosses, so.... /shrug

(Of course, I play this game 100% solo, so even the rare times I've done world bosses - like the Witches event - I've not bothered to group. Plus, that event was scattered across the entire world, so I think the most people I ever saw that event was 4. Half the time I had to beg in chat for more. I also loot everything I kill, so the whole "I missed my tickets because I kill so much stuff that I just ignore loot" thing confuses the hell out of me.)

If any developer is sensible, he will want to attract the maximum number of players to an event, not least if it's related to DLC content that requires a purchase or subscription. The way to attract as many players as possible is to spread the event over all playstyles. Limiting it to say world bosses and delves doesn't meet that criteria and is both unnecessary and unfair on many players.

It's equally unfair to judge the reasonableness of the drops on a single day or two's play. RNG doesn't just mean that results vary between players at any one time, it also means that they vary over time. Too many players seem to expect it to mean that they can get all the drops they want in a short space of time. That's not the basis on which MMOs are based, they're intended to be played for years rather than weeks or months, and in the case of an event it's intended to be played for the duration of the event rather than just the first day or so. RNG reflects that.

Just make it work like AP.
You kill something or contribute to killing it, then you get your 3 tickets, period.
No looting necessary.

I'd like it to be a simple daily quest, where you're instructed to go kill maybe 3 random mobs, then return and hand it in. That way you're guaranteed the box and it won't get lost on some accidentally unlooted corpse.

It was really stressful when I thought I hadn't looted something and backtracked all over and kept killing things but no box dropped. It finally happened, though, whew! The first box fell off the second or third kill, but the second sure took a long time.

JumpmanLane

I got 3 tickets first crappy random thing I killed. (It’s. Known. I have insanely lucky RNG).

I ran right to the event vendor, no motifs this time. Oh well, went back to Murkmire, thought I’d farm mats or something. The place was picked clean.

Giving the Murkmire event a pass. PvPed until I got bored. Did a quest in Deshaan and ran into that Naryu chick from Morrowind. AWE! SOME! (Forgive me, I’m not a big quester lol).

Gotten the tickets solo off trash mobs easily. They aren't easily missed and you group after getting tickets if you so desire. Not an issue as far as I'm concerned.

Whacked a crocodile, got 3 tix and a strongbox. Camped out until daily reset.

Overland is fine....until you make it where grouping means you miss out on your tickets because your friend killed something and looted it before you got to it, not knowing it would ruin my own chance.

Apparently it's because of the 12 player loot restriction from world bosses which is meant to be an anti botter measure. So to prevent low damage players from never obtaining their tickets, they allowed normal trash mobs to drop them as well.

So you can blame botters if that's true.

8 bosses and several trash mobs (not in group) during the whole day yesterday and no tickets . so i gave up on this crap event

Well Ive been grinding for 6 hours & no tickets, but i was grouped when the clock reset & had 2 shared quests being done at once. I was getting xp & quest related messages for a quest someone else was doing but not the drops.

can't stand that godforsaken swamp so i'm not partaking in the event anyway. that way you cant miss anything

Coatmagic

Put in a couple tickets yesterday evening before finally giving up.
Got a 'how to' guide in response. So basically a big 'FU valued customer'.
Get your &^*! together ZoS,.

(Got tickets on first kill yesterday.
Today, 9 hours later, and still nothing. Not tickets and no event boxes.
This is some serious BS, ZoS, and of all events to pull this %"&* with, you choose the one that is already got a big steaming pile smack dab in the middle of it.)

I just have no words to express how I feel about the seemingly unending ineptitude of this company.

I got the same "how to" guide for Dragon Rise when I was missing tickets.

Always reply to that first email saying something like "Thanks, but that didn't solve my problem. My problem is XYZ."

That almost always gets me to a real support person and in my case they were able to sort out the missing tickets.

Oh sorry, my original post was deleted for being disruptive.
I did in fact have discourse with them, and they basically told me gee that really sucks good luck next time.
So no, they are not giving away tickets if you spend all day and get none.
And if they have, this event, then do please speak up, because I for one, will get right back in their face about it.
This event is absolute trash.

TheDarkShadow

I thought tickets are from bosses only so I didn't loot some of the trash mobs I kill on the way doing daily. Does that mean I miss out the ticket for today?
