Sorry, but once again underwhelmed

SonOfSoma

The Fallen leaves of West Weald reward bundle has made me feel quite depressed.
As a heavy participant of this event I feel somewhat cheated...

Why did I even bother grinding every day for 1hr approximately for these lacklustre rewards..

You can bring the hatred.. I don't care.

I won't participate in future events.

flizomica

We're guaranteed to get the rewards in these events, so there's no need to grind for the event specifically, especially if you aren't enjoying it.

colossalvoids

Not sure I know even one person who was grinding the event for it.

SonOfSoma

Well In future I won't grind it at all..
I'll let others do the ground work and capitalise on the rubbish rewards.

Be my guest, you're welcome.

Since the event started, i`ve only received for the past two days the gold style page. Did not get any the before but I did get Shardborn, oh wait that is a chance drop from dailies. I guess I didn`t get anything up until the past two days.

sunsrest

the style page and furniture plan drops were all right during the event

for the reward bundle.. it's not great but not terrible, the camel doesn't quite work for my character, I'm using the red slime pet for now, haven't opened all the boxes yet, any transmutes are good because I don't do much dungeons or pvp

The rewards had been announced even before the event had started. Not liking them is one thing, but it's not like we didn't get what had been promised the whole time.

I like events and double drops/loot from containers/trials and crafting nodes. But Summerset chapter event will be forever the best in my memory - because developers were participating with players and streaming it on Twitch. Loremaster was telling a bit of info about each Point of Interest we crossed.



Players were logging in for both NA and EU servers to complete Pathfinder achievement for progress bar; everyone was helping each other to port to wayshrines and Artaeum zone...

Of course, the rewards were better (for my taste): Psijic Pony pet and Psijic Horse mount, plus Grand Psijic Villa house. Current event has less interesting prizes... But if there was a stream where developers do daily quests with players, I think it would be just as fun

I dont know, 3 attunable crafting stations, 20 transmutes, all the WW set coffers, a mount, a memento and assorted crafting supplies are pretty good to me.

High Isle gave us the one and only Gold Ring for companions within the boxes, we do not even have a second Gold Ring.

Then you have the Summerset event, it gave players a Palace in Artaeum as the reward, do these rewards granted in this event seem in anyway comparable?

For further events like this: Don't bother grinding that stuff. Just play. Grind event rewards like mats, or daily boxes, etc., if you think they're worth the effort, but these "community" tasks, do them on the side. I have a character who did West Weald dailies, and two who ran Lucent Citadel now and then. I unlocked the community quest on them and handed in Ayleid things when I dropped them while doing the other stuff. Anything above that is wasted time.
Also, as Syldras said, the rewards were hardly a surprise.

tohopka_eso

I was mainly doing it for the patterns and mats. Did get some recipes I was missing also.

Ohh now that was indeed a fun event!!

I remember it very well. People really wanted to help each other out and it was just a lot of fun. Definitely one of the better events.

I was looking forward to opening the nesting boxes and getting excited about what the special new item might be but there was nothing, such a disappointment this event especially seeing as it’s the 10 year anniversary

Ah the good ol' times. I'm probably on a screenshot no matter if that's pceu or na, depends only if that's the instance with Gina riding us around hehe.

It's not just events and rewards dropped off but the community engagement with developers.

I agree that these event rewards are pretty good.

And we got a free house earlier this year as part of the 10 year anniversary. Sword-Singer’s Redoubt. And there have been other giveaways this year.

Because you chose to!

I find the event to be pretty boring too, so after getting the low hanging fruit, I stopped participating outside of the event tickets. And I feel no ill-will about that at all.

Actually, I'm glad the rewards aren't better so the event is easier to walk away from. I'm unhappiest in ESO when I fall into the trap of doing something I don't enjoy because the rewards are too good to ignore like during the jubilee event.

These events are legitimately addictive because of how they interact with the reward systems in our brain. When they start to affect me negatively, I make a point of walking away asap. This game gives us more rewards than we can practically use anyway.

ZoS has been giving away all kinds of stuff all year long, and they're not even done yet.

Guess there's no pleasing everybody.

katanagirl1

The attunable tables were the best thing. I’ve been saving up writ vouchers to try to get the Grand Master tables and can really use them. I wish they weren’t bound again like last time. I could get the hubby’s then because he doesn’t do crafting.

Personally I don't get too excited when ZOS gives me crown poisons and crown soul gems.

They've been giving away dlc, houses, mounts, costumes, furniture, arms packs...like have you actually been looking at the giveaways this year? It's been quite generous. Did I find this particular events rewards that amazing? Not really. But we've been getting a lot of nice stuff all year

Monte_Cristo

Was hoping for another gold companion item, but the stuff we did get was fine. Same as the previous versions of these boxes, except for the gold ring/pile of gold furnishing.

Tra_Lalan

I personally liked the event and rewards. The pet is awsome. Also appriciate ZOS giving arms packs for free recently.

I see this picture nowadays, and all I can think is:

"Thats too many players for the servers to handle now, we'd all be crashing"

BetweenMidgets

I will also parrot what others have said - don't ever grind for the events. I do not believe there is any feasible way that ZoS wouldn't give us the rewards. I seriously doubt they are tabulating how much of whatever is being completed. It would look incredibly bad for them in a few different ways if the filled bar didn't increase and hit 100%

As for the rewards, they did announce them before. I agree, they are totally lackluster. Anyone who has participated in the event even a bit would have the gear they gave us. A reskin oozeling pet? Thanks I guess, not my style. A truly atrocious mount? I guess yay for the memes? But nothing in this event stands out as generous, or even worth of an event where they have stated that since this is the 10 year anniversary that this year will have extra great rewards. Please, these were lackluster to the extreme.

I know that I for one truly appreciate when my investment with time and money its met with what feels like distain.
We already know what ZoS thinks of the community. We don't have to look further than what the SO of a noted employee said on a stream. Where on earth would she get that impression, unless given by her husband?

SickleCider

I like the mount! 🤷‍♀️ From his boopable nose to his unsettling little toenails. He's also my favorite color.

SilverBride

It's free stuff, and a lot of it. I don't get what the issue is.

They stated that the YEAR would have extra great rewards throughout it. They did not say that about this particular event. And they have given out a lot of great rewards since then. If you view getting free dlc, houses, mounts, etc as disdain for their customers, then maybe it's time to move on to a new game. They have given away almost all the type of rewards they make. If you can't enjoy anything the game has to offer and it all feels like disdain, maybe it's time to play something you would enjoy. It's not worth playing a game that makes you feel disrespected.

I do quite agree, which is why I spend my dollars in other areas. I do still have friends that I PVP with. But once that comes to an end, sadly my time in Tamriel will as well. As much as I do love it as a whole, I definitely do not feel as though ZoS appreciates it's fans.

Exactly. Could you imagine what would happen if they didn't automatically push it to 100%? Tweet: "Oh no, our players didn't make the goal. No goodies for them." Not exactly a great ad for the game.
