PTS Update 36 - Feedback Thread for the Dark Heart of Skyrim Celebration

ZOS_GinaBruno

This is the official feedback thread for the Dark Heart of Skyrim Celebration. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

• How do you feel about the distribution of rewards during this event?
• Did anything not function to your expectations?
• Do you have any other general feedback?

I didn't know we could find Harrowstorm in The Rift.

Putting event-limited loot on a 24h cooldown should be officially communicated so people don't end up wasting their time trying to farm something that can't be farmed. This goes for play testing too btw. Don't make us test stuff that you already have the answer for. Make us test if it's working as intended but don't make us try to figure out whether you have put event limited items on the daily quest reset timer again this time or not. Let people know what they are getting themselves into.
This should be common sense.

Is it possible to re-release Sovngarde Stalwart style pages? This seems to be a fitting event, and these pages haven't been available for a few years.

I completed a daily quest in Western Skyrim and received 3 event tickets. I then completed a daily quest in The Reach and I received no event tickets. While I prefer this 3 tickers in one quest approach, it's not what was expected.

Also, why are crafting nodes in Western Skyrim, The Reach and the two Cavern zones not offering double resources? That's one of the main reasons to spend time in these event celebration zones and now that reason is gone.

patch notes say:

The first daily you complete in Western Skyrim will award you one Event Ticket. You can get a second Event Ticket for the first daily you complete in the Reach as well, for a maximum of two Event Tickets per day per account.

I received 3 tickets for doing a delve daily in Western Skyrim.

On The Subject Of The Saarthal Scholar Outfit

This is a very nice outfit and it looks good on paper but the colour split system you have chosen to employ could be better, I would reccommend you make both the shirt and the belt part of the same colour box to allow more variation to work with otherwise it looks like you are wearing an armored onesie as it stands now with both the shirt and jacket being one colour box instead of split in two.

@ZOS_GinaBruno - I had also noticed the ticket problem this morning, but figured since others had posted about it, I didn't have to.

Now that the patch notes are out though, I see it's not included. Has it been addressed? We can't test it any more.

Quest givers were definitely giving 3 tickets, not one.

Hi all, just wanted to follow up here. We are addressing the feedback noted in the thread regarding bugs for the event. The dev team is seeing this and will be fixing accordingly. You should see a bit of these next week. But please keep the feedback coming. The team is checking these daily for items to fix and get general feedback.

I think the outfit needs to go back to the drawing board. It's a bland addition to the game. None of the pieces seem unique or memorable. Not to mention it doesn't look at all like what someone would wear at Saarthal in the far north of Skyrim, near Winterhold. It looks like it's from everywhere and nowhere. No thick cloaks/scarves? No ragged asymmetry of well worn robes? The look of someone delving in windswept ruins? Pah.

Only one event ticket for a daily zone quest is not very motivating for me to do them, esp. not daily, because they can take a while if you have to wait for a boss to respawn or more players to defeat a world boss.
I think two tickets for the first quest from either of the two zones would be better and more in line with the effort to get event tickets in other events.
