Thanks for the reminder; that is encouraging!
Just to add to this, there were guaranteed items that everyone got, which were three attunable stations (clothing, BS, WW) and the target dummy and dragon treasure furnishing, in addition to epic quality set pieces (Crafty Alfiq, Darloc Brae, ??) and the rest were random items - but they were good rewards, including outfit change tokens (I got around 6 of those). So, while no guarantee to get a specific random item, the main rewards were guaranteed for everyone.
As for the voriplasm pet, as others have said, it should be the one from the Murkmire event, which the PTS patch notes made clear during the event testing. I agree that the wording of it in the announcement article is misleading, since it says "new voriplasm pet."
But then, the article also says, as others have also pointed out, that this event will be the only opportunity for the final mount fragment, while the PTS patch notes that came out the same day said that all morpholith fragments will be available during the New Life event, which is currently available for testing. I suspect that whoever writes these articles is not the same as those who write the PTS patch notes.Edited by Jayne_Doe on September 28, 2021 7:00PM1 -

This^
The article said nothing about the gravestake collectable coming back, yet it did feature a prominent picture of an Argonian with a gravestake. In fact, I'm almost certain that was the VERY graphic they used to depict that momento back in the Murkmire event. So, is this gravestake in fact coming back too and its absence from the article a mere oversight? Or no?1 -

These things were found in that "Nafilgaar's Chest" box. But you had to reopen it like 10 times to get all the goodies - each box had another box inside it for 10 levels. If you got the "Dragon's Treasure Trove" furnishing at the end, then you should have gotten these along the way.2 -
GuildedLilly✭✭✭ZOS, please let us know if there will be a sale on Blackwood for the event.
Also-- can someone please confirm that the global tally meter goals will be adjusted to reflect the fact that most Xbox players won't even be able to participate until Oct 6th at the earliest, when a possible fix to the current game breaking crashes is released? They'll be missing out on a full week of the event.Grandmaster crafter, alt-o-holic, PC NA/EU, and XB1 NA/EU2 -

✭I just came here to say loving the event and prologue so far. I am so happy that furniture is at the Impressario and I'd like to collect more morpholith parts also. The argonian who sends you exploring is fabulous and characters and voices amazing. The quasigriff is a lot better in motion than expected, I liked it static but in motion it feels really fast and has nice movement.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I wanted to express that I’m enjoying the event and Blackwood and if you want to give access to the Deadlands DLC to everyone who participates, that’s cool too, but as a loyal ESO+ subscriber, it feels rather bad than motivating to have the DLC be the hyped community reward, not that I don’t want everyone to get it, but it’s the message rather.10 -

Just been told this.
Utter shafting of us.
You need to buy blackwood to enjoy the deadlands properly imo.
Also if you don't own blackwood you get a free dlc off everybody who does.
Most of us have eso plus so it was free anyway.
So it's a pseudo freebie to get people to buy blackwood in essence.
You can skip 1 month eso plus and put the cash towards blackwood on sale.
Then re subscribe when you need or want plus again.
Only winners are eso.

If you do not own Blackwood, then you dont get "free" DLC, even if community unlocks it. It is written in the articles::

But you can unlock the dlc with eso plus without owning blackwood still?1 -
Lady_Lindel✭✭✭✭Subscribed for about 6 yrs. Currently pay for 3 subscriptions, buy houses, furnishing etc. I mean, seriously why support a company who doesn't value your support, coz it is too busy chasing new players. Maybe players who don't get why people are disappointed, should ask themselves what will happen when subscribers decide to stop playing/subbing. Where do they think all the money for this content is coming from. And that free prize they are so excited about, will be another empty zone after a short while. I do wonder if they have lost so many PVP players, they're down on the numbers so badly, they are using this to get more new players.
While they are chasing new players, maybe we should remember just how much they ignore their player base, whether it be pvp, housing limits, cost of crown store items, just to name a few.
And for people who state they don't sub but look what we got, well maybe I'll join you.11 -
Coerfroid✭✭✭✭What a smack in the face of all paying supporters.
Sure, they gifted Murkmire to freebee players back then, buat that was a daily login reward. So back then I was "Oh, instead of a free soul gem or a drink I won't use I get... nothing today..." and shrugged it off.
This was supposed to be a once-a-year community reward. Supposedly on par with the likes of the Psijic Villa.
Underwhelming.
Do not get me wrong: I am fine with them gifting away a 2000 crown DLC to players that dont have ESO+. A fine marketing move and incentive to buy the chapter. Fine.
But I just wish they had more for us subbers than just "Nothing for you today, now go back to work. the money for the sub won't earn itself..."
This would feel way better if they had announced "...And for the players already subbed, we wil credit the 2000 crowns directly to their account..."
Or at least something remotely like that.14 -
Mix✭✭✭✭✭
✭I also feel that getting a free DLC is really lackluster (and kind of a slap in the face) for subscribers. I feel the reward should have been more like "Get Deadlands DLC free and if you are an ESO+ subscriber you will unlock/get [amazing thing]" This would reward subs, but also make people likely to sub just to get the [amazing thing] and maybe like the ESO+ benefits so much that they stay subbed (craft bag!).
As for [amazing thing] suggestions:
- new inventory pet (love that Elsweyr Donkey with the barrels...)
- armory slots/outfit slots
- crown crates
- seals/gems/crowns
- Companion (via an exclusive quest starter perhaps?)
- CE edition of DLC (pet and mount)
*edit* If you make the [amazing thing] exclusive to the event you are more likely to get that surge of subs just to get the thing and hopefully convince even more people that they can't play without those sweet ESO+ benefits!
I am into housing so Houseguest/House/Furnishings are things I love but I think the [amazing thing] would be better to be useful to as many players as possible. More inventory space is always appreciated since no matter how much you give us most of us manage to still get the 'your bags are full' messages!
Maybe if this "surprise" hadn't been as hyped as it was for reveal during the stream it would not have been as disappointing to me. It felt more like surprise here is a thing you already have...I am definitely not against giving away DLC as a reward but you should definitely consider that subscribers (especially the longer term ones) already feel like they own all the DLCs past and future. Just something to keep in mind for future giveaways/events.Edited by Mix on October 2, 2021 3:21PM6 -
