    They've said a few times they'll only update it once each day. No idea what time, though.

    It won't track in real time. ;)

    Since it started at 10am EST maybe it will be updated at 10am EST?

    Gonna have a bit of guessing fun with this. Purely for amusement factor. If it updates at 10AM EST then that is about 30 minutes from now...anyone want to toss their guess out to what percentage we've achieved and see who gets closest?

    I'm guessing 23%...

    The progress bars are always updated once a day. We'll probably see the first update at 10am EDT

    I personally did an entire alliance worth of Green/Blue/Purple yesterday, so hopefully others did just as much.

    Seems like a lot more people are grinding dailies for the boxes, tickets, and double rewards.This makes sense for individual awards but doesn't advance the game wide rewards.

    11% just under halfway to get the first reward. We have 11 days left to get the other 89%. People play this game in other times zones besides the US ones too. We *should* be fine.

    Well, it's not like we can just run out and dig.

    We have to find leads, first.

    And they very obviously cratered the drop-rates for leads a few weeks after the chapter dropped.

      Every zone has green leads. Those still count.

      Yup.
      I completely overlooked the free leads. Greens AND Blues. And they're repeatable.

        There are 12 days (24-hour periods from 10 AM EDT to 10 AM EDT) during this event.

        100% / 12 days = 8.33% per day.

        If we're already at 11% after the first day, we're slightly ahead of the average, and should hit 100% by the ninth or tenth day if the number of antiquities dug up stays constant. Obviously, it can be expected to fluctuate from day to day, with the weekends likely having more activity-- and as someone pointed out, there are two weekends during this event-- so we should be okay.

        Thu 09/24 - Day 1 - Averaged goal: 9% - Actual progress: 11% - Projected: 100% by Fri 10/02 or Sat 10/03
        Fri 09/25 - Day 2 - Averaged goal: 17% - Actual progress: 25% - Projected: 100% by Thu 10/01
        Sat 09/26 - Day 3 - Averaged goal: 25% - Actual progress: 38% - Projected: 100% by Thu 10/01
        Sun 09/27 - Day 4 - Averaged goal: 34% - Actual progress: 53% - Projected: 100% by Wed 09/30 or Thu 10/01
        Mon 09/28 - Day 5 - Averaged goal: 42% - Actual progress: 68% - Projected: 100% by Wed 09/30 or Thu 10/01
        Tue 09/29 - Day 6 - Averaged goal: 50% - Actual progress: 75% - Projected: 100% by Thu 10/01
        Wed 09/30 - Day 7 - Averaged goal: 59% - Actual progress: 83% - Projected: 100% by Fri 10/02
        Thu 10/01 - Day 8 - Averaged goal: 67% - Actual progress: 90% - Proected: 100% by Fri 10/02 or Sat 10/03
        Fri 10/02 - Day 9 - Averaged goal: 75% - Actual progress: 100% - All goals accomplished!
        Sat 10/03 - Day 10 - Averaged goal: 84%
        Sun 10/04 - Day 11 - Averaged goal: 92%
        Mon 10/05 - Day 12 - Averaged goal: 100%

        If you're a Greymoor owner, be sure to claim your rewards from the Crown Store before October 15.

        It's weird they don't give us the actual goal number, I'm always wondering if it's because they want to be able manipulate it, if people don't really participare, so it won't look like a failed event.

        You guys are so cute, you really think ZOS will update that bar with actual real numbers?
        confused24.gif

        Think about it, they just started the event and need an incentive to keep players playing through the whole thing.
        There's no way they would ever update that bar to 30% after the first day, no matter how many people are participating.

        The very fact that the bar is only updated once a day should already give you a clue. That allows the marketing team to review the data from the first day and come up with an estimate on how much to move that bar each day.
