Not working - Completing any Incursion event, such as a Dark Anchor, Abyssal Geyser, Bastion Nymic

miloflipper

I understand you get a box when you defeat the boss, but this is already covered by the gift boxes dropping from any boss. I consider the Dark Anchor event completed when you close the final portal and get the XP. The rewards for the event are in the chest, this is where we should be finding the extra gift box.

Fix?

Yes, it should be in the loot box, not on the boss. All of the loot from the boss should in in the loot chest and nothing should drop on the boss.

The official event announcement says "Completing any Incursion event, such as a Dark Anchor, Abyssal Geyser, Bastion Nymic, or similar" grants you an anniversary box. So according to ZOS, they should be dropping from the chest that shows that you completed the event.

It would appear that it's bugged. Might want to put in a ticket to see if you can get the boxes you are missing.

Or the announcement is so poorly worded as to be incorrect. That is a pattern, e.g. with increased resource event announcements saying that the bonus doesn't apply to mats dropped by mobs, when it clearly does.

I would prefer to see them put the boxes in the chests/shells, but I think it more likely that they misphrased what they tried to say here.

If they indeed did put wrong information on the website, then one would think it would have been corrected by now. And there has been no announcement from the developers that the information is in error, so it's safe to assume that they meant what they said. And as the OP said, when you close the final portal pinion, you get the experience, which signals that the event is now completed at that point.

They made the same error about the crafting mats from mobs not being increased in three separate events. Even after being corrected on all three.

I don't think it's safe to assume anything here, since the text directly contradicts how loot has traditionally worked for events like this.

What you get from the chest is tied to the amount of damage you do, as a percentage of total damage done by all players who participated in the incursion.
I ran geysers this morning before the patch, and I didn't get anything of note from any of the reward Clams (meaning no event boxes).

Which, sadly, felt normal to me, when I'm only one of 50,000 people (exaggeration born of annoyance) carpeting the geyser location.

I barely got any skills to fire because all of the mobs, and the bosses, were taken out in a split second, there were so many players there, at every geyser. So it's no wonder I did a mere wisp of damage, if even that much, and got squat from the Clams.

Yes, and that's why I suggested that the OP put in a ticket, and let customer service sort it out. OP (and others) should be able to get the rewards as stated. If they log how many times they completed the events and did not receive the rewards, then maybe CS will award them after the fact.

The content of the clams has nothing to do with how much damage you did.

What you want to do, is find a monstrosity spawn spot(I used the altar area) and camp it. They spawn shielded for a second, you should be able to get a hit in. I just held my staff heavy.

I do have to agree about dolmens, this penalizes people who run major dolmens like Alik'r, because in a group of 20-30 players, only the 12 highest DPS will actually get the reward box. IMO, the reward box should come from the CHEST, not a drop from the final boss.

Not saying this is good or bad design but dropping from the boss insures you actually participate in bringing down the Dolman

No. It doesn't. The bosses have low health. Many people who participate in the dolmen don't get to loot the boss. Far more people who did participate are excluded than the number of very lucky people who manage to close a pinion at the last second.

Maybe I'm confusing Clam (and other Incursion reward containers) with the bosses, then.
But outside of events, I've arrived at dolmens, geysers, storms, etc. right before the boss was taken out and only got a hit or two in, and the reward containers had less than normal in them. And it's not like other people can loot my containers.

I was camped right on top of the monstrosity spot at the altar. I did get a single hit in every now and then, but I missed more often than not, mostly because the bosses when down faster than my skills could register a target.
