Someone has suggested 30th but that seems very late (for a September event) and goes into Q4.

Really wish would give us more notice as then can plan things, in game & real life.

    Our next in-game event, Bounties of Blackwood, starts September 30. Stay tuned for more details coming on September 27!

    As I don't have Blackwood it's a moot point for me. I have Summerset and Morrowind but didn't fancy forking out for another chapter when I've still not done all of the base game zones fully

    When's the next base game event?

    witches festival - should start somewhere between end of october - beginning of november, haven't keep attention if there will be something before it.

    Didn't we just have a thread and discussion last event about giving more notice on these events? And yet here we are again, nearing the end of September without notice on when the September event begins...

    I do agree. I don't know if they want to leave an aura of mystery to increase the appeal ...
    I think they should be more practical and allow us to organize our commitments more easily by communicating the calendar of events in advance

    Now have also heard what another posted - that is the 23rd. So, place your bets!

    (Still would like more advance notice!)

    Yes, at least a week's advance notice would be nice, so that I can start collecting reward coffers from Leyawiin and prepare crafting mats and so on...

    The ESO Rocks thing is still going til the 27th, wouldn't be surprised if they wait til that's done. 30th would be my guess

    It is, but they're still encouraging people to do stuff in game. Anyway, it's just my theory, they seem to have gone to a lot of effort with it, don't think theyd want to take attention away from it.

    That is still going on? I can't see that disrupting anything in the game, if it is.

    The Western Skyrim/Greymoor event was September 23 - October 5.

    It's from the 30th Sept - 4th October. According to what they said on Twitch somewhere. Why they can't just tell us is beyond me.

    That's when the twitch drops campaign is. The event is not 4/5 days. Some people are speculating that means it starts the 30th, some say it means it will end the 5th (starting sept 23.)

    It's the same time from release as all the yearly events from the past 3 years.

    The Twitch drop on the 30th is most probably linked to the ESO Rocks video thing. Not sure about the other days.

    They need to do another event in Q3 for the last mount bit, otherwise it slips into Q4, where there is already the Undaunted, Witches and New Life events planned. (And 5 things to get to make the house, which means either 5 events in Q4 or generous ticket drops)

    I would just appreciate a decent heads up. Then those who run guilds can plan things in game & hopefully encourage newer members to join in & get them involved. And work whether its going to be worthwhile running their normal stuff if everyone is off chasing dragons. Rather than having to do things at the last minute.

    The Undaunted event on PTS has the first 3 house parts so may be the same live

    If they want me to buy it they'll need to drop the price by half at least.

    It's been said in pervious PTSs (?) that Bounties of Blackwood will contain the last fragment for the mount, so between that and the crown store showcase we can expect the event to happen this month, barring some last-minute problem. Then I believe the 7.1 PTS had the first two fragments for Doomchar Plateau drop during the Witches Fest, so the Undaunted will add another one, and New Life will probably have two as well, though we won't know for sure until later in this PTS cycle.

    I wasn't able to see it until today, some people were able to see it last week, so you may or may not be able to see it.

    I just want that last fragment piece to morph out that bird mount. And does that thing come in any other color then just grey-black? "Charcoal" ?

    It's likely gonna strategically hit a little sooner than the 28th and last 10-14 days.

    4 days from the 30th? Wow. Bit rubbish. But do Twitch drops normally last the whole event? Don’t take much notice of them.

    And whilst that says it is Blackwood, there is also this:

    *During the upcoming Gates of Oblivion Year-End Stream (hosted via Twitch.tv/Bethesda on September 30), Trivium will premier a brand-new ESO-inspired music video!*

    So which is it?!
