Cannot get 12th ticket when I have 11

Maythor

Is there a way for me to collect a final ticket in this event?

I will have 11 tickets on the penultimate day of the event and wonder how I can collect one of the two that will drop on the final day, in order for me to get me to cap.

I have no need or wish to buy companion commendations as my 6 companions are maxed out, and have no wish to spend 2 tickets on a mass repair kit since I have no need of them. And they will be the only items still purchasable for me.

So the final day I just have to stop collecting tickets when I hit 11, as the game will not allow them to drop?

Maythor

What a wonderful quality of life addition to the game!

You can still get up to 14 if you got today's,spend your tickets,and collect more.

Maythor

I cannot, when I buy everything possible I will have 11 on the second last day .. and the two items left available to buy (which I stated above), give no benefit to me and will leave me with less tickets in the end than cap!

You could buy the last ticket for 250 crowns before the event ends. I realize that's not ideal, but if ending with only 11 is a problem....

Eh, that's better than slagging me for what I posted!

I've actually done that a couple of times on earlier indriks. There aren't a lot of events I really enjoy - mostly I only do the "big 4": New Life, Jester's, Witches, Jubilee; occasionally some of the "lesser" ones, but not often any more. And once I get the indriks I'm missing (not all of them, just the ones I really want), unless ZOS comes up with something better than the last couple of years of morphables, I won't do anything but Jubilee.

Well, her suggestion is the only way you will be able to get that last ticket.

The game won't grant just one of the two available; I've already run into that problem earlier this week.
I had 11 prior to running a dungeon, and I got an alert notice after I downed the boss that I didn't have enough room to collect the two tickets, so I got no tickets.

So, you either pony-up the crowns for a single ticket, or you go without.

I don't think it's a bug.

Update to Event Tickets
We have introduced a new safety rail for Event Tickets that come from looted sources (and only looted, as quest-ones already have a warning involved when you go to turn them in).
When you complete an action which would have dropped Event Tickets while at or near the Event Ticket currency cap (and not on daily cooldown) you will now receive a message letting you know you could have gotten Event Tickets from this source but did not have enough room to loot them.
Once you spend enough Event Tickets to properly loot additional tickets, you will be able to loot them from the next event-appropriate source.
If you fail to loot your Event Tickets at all (because you forgot, because you crashed, or because an asteroid hit your hometown and you managed to survive but lost internet) you will not automatically be put on the daily reset. You may attempt additional dungeons, kill bosses, or whatever the event-appropriate activity is until you completely loot your Event Tickets for that day.
You can still only receive Event Tickets once per day.
This behavior is currently in place for Undaunted Celebration and Witches Festival, and will roll out to other appropriate events over time.

Yeah, not a bug. It's a deliberate change.
I wish they would adjust it so that it would work like it used to. Previously, if you had space for one ticket, but the ticket reward was greater than one, you still got the one ticket.
Now they just give you nothing until you spend tickets to open up enough space for multiple tickets, and then do the content again.

I mean, it's good as a safety net if you have issues looting the tickets, but it's irritating that it now won't grant a partial ticket reward like it did prior to the change.

AstroST

Ok, it's not a bug. It's just a not well thought change.
So, any hope they will acnowledge the mistake and find a solution before the end of the event so people will not waste a ticket?

Same here.

Buy something else that you're going to use in the long run. Something that costs 5 (e.g. one of the Nascent Indrik feathers, or one of the parts of another Passion Dancer blossom since you need more than one for the remaining morphables), drop down to 6, gain 2, save 8, it really is not a big deal.

Maythor

There is nothing left for me to buy that has any use to me and everything is redded out, I mentioned that in a previous post.

As a quality of life addition to the game, this system's another fail for me since it adds more micromanaging to the collection of tickets compared to the last iteration of the system. For us having a patch that supposedly gave us many QoL additions rather than content, it's been a fizzle and thud, rather than interesting update for me.

Maythor

Interesting too, that today has an endeavour that works for the collection of ONE event ticket! :P

Also this issue will became even more irritating in those events that issue 3 tickets in one drop since we'll now have an extra arbitrary cap at anything above 9 tickets, just increasing the irritating micro-management of these tickets in order to collect them, not forgetting the extra hoops needed for some people added with the timezone changes to get their last days tickets.

While I understand people were failing to collect tickets in some way this solution does not seem to solve the problem well.

Then also, despite people seemingly giving feedback that they wish to EARN more things in game, it would seem that the company seems to be increasing the barriers and irritations in systems that are actually in game for people to gain such rewards. The new endeavours seem to add extra hoops to hop through for that route to reward, and now this extra limitation on collection of full amounts of tickets is yet again adding problems to their collection.

There was one of those a couple of days ago, too.

The Impressario Group Repair Kits [2 tickets] work for solo use... they shouldn't be redded-out.

Sarannah

Yeah, that seems like a bit of an oversight. As I often fill my tickets to 12 when an event ends, in which I sometimes waste one or two tickets.

Taking out only one or only two tickets should still be possible.

Or they could just remove the 12 limit!! If we gather tickets, why does it matter when we use them? As long as we play the game to get them. Anything we get with tickets is free anyways, it doesn't matter for ZOS what we buy with it. And I doubt a higher limit would harm event ticket sales in the crownstore, as the ones buying the tickets are already not playing to get them.

I spoke about this in my original post, which is why I caveated this statement by saying there is nothing left for me to buy that would have "any use to me". I have so many grand repair kits, and an even 100 of the group repair kits .. I have no need of more since I normally use gold for repairs anyway in any content. However, were there an item available to me for 1 event ticket, I would totally buy it to fix this quandary, even if I had no use for it.

But what this would equate to is me spending two tickets to get a kit that I have no use nor need for and I would remain at 11 tickets going into the next event. Now, this is not an earth shattering and soul rending problem, but it is NOT a QoL improvement for me to this system! It is adding extra grit in the system should I have problems logging in next event to get all my tickets or have need of that one ticket at some point to get a reward later on.

So from now on we no longer just have to micro-manage the arbitrary cap of 12 tickets and the timing of the daily resets and how we can log in on the last day to get any tickets we might need .. but now we also have to make sure we spend our tickets in such a way that we do not end up with the wrong total on the second last day. And this will vary and depending on what things are available to buy and remain available to buy as well as how many tickets we have too, not to mention how many tickets are available each day and how they are awarded .. this is not streamlining a system of making it easier for people to collect rewards .. it's adding more complexity to a system due to a "solution" to the problem of tickets not being collected in some cases.

Dojohoda

If you're going to be stuck with 11, I would buy a group repair which would still leave you at 11 after getting your tickets but at least you will get something. (Even if you don't need it.)

Yeah, this is a stupid "fix" - it should be perfectly fine to lose tickets over the cap. But just because some vocal people can't deal with that, the system gets messed up for everyone.

This misses the point.
I would agree that it's not a perfect fix.
But previously, with a boss drop ticket event, if you were at the cap, forgot and it rolled over to a new day and you kill another boss? Your one and only drop for the day was gone, with no ability to recover from it.
Here, it's a relatively smaller number of people who have nothing they want to buy, and are only prevented from moving from 11-12 tickets - i.e. people who are relatively well off for tickets anyways.

They should consider dropping the cost of Group Repair Kits to 1 ticket. It would let people fine-tune their ticket amount. Perhaps a kludgy workaround, but a solution of a kind nonetheless.

Sheesh. More reason to let Events go by the wayside. I frequently use stuff like this to "top off" my event tickets at 12. At the end, I care more about being at 12 than I do about losing a couple tickets.

EDIT: Maybe they should go back to the days when only one event ticket dropped at a time.

mdjessup4906

They just need to remove the stupid cap. Would have been way easier then trying to code some confusing failsafe. I'm gonna collect tickets either way, and I hate being forced to spend them on stuff I don't want just to get more.

Xillean

at least double the cap if they arent willing to outright remove it.

Easiest way is to buy an one ticket item, then if you don't want it destroy it, you now have 10 ticket, run a dungeon.
You are no worse of than if game rewarded you one ticket after a dungeon with 11.
Benefit of this system is that people with 11 tickets and forgot will not loose one ticket.
Friend did not get tickets as he forgot he was full but he could do another dungeon and get them.

Are there any 1 ticket items available this time?

Think the companion skill upgrades cost one ticket, they did before.
OP has no need for it as all companions are leveled up but purpose here if primary to get down to 10.

Dagoth_Rac

The cap of 12 was very deliberately chosen to allow you to buy the newly added 10-ticket fragment at the start of an event you dislike, then ignore event, but you can only do that once. In other words, you can't skip two events in a row with current cap. Yes, raising or eliminating the cap will be nice for any individual player, but bad for the game as a whole when the people actually playing an event have no one to do that dungeon with, or kill that world boss with, or trade that style page with, etc.

They should fix the ability to go from 11 to 12 tickets, perhaps with a warning box ("This will sacrifice some tickets. Loot anyway?"). But raising or eliminating ticket cap will hurt event participation, so be careful what you wish for, because people aren't going to like super long dungeon queues during Undaunted Event or empty Cyrodiil during Midyear Mayhem...

I couldn't agree more with this suggestion.
