PTS Update 49 - Feedback Thread for Anniversary Jubilee

ZOS_Kevin

This is the official feedback thread for the Anniversary Jubilee Event. Specific feedback that the team is looking for includes the following:

• Are you receiving the rewards you expected to receive?
• Is there anything you’d like to see changed as it relates to older rewards and their distribution?
• Did anything not function to your expectations?
• Do you have any other general feedback?

In regard to the Replica Nokvroz Greatsword replica style, the patch note was confusing. Will the bound style page drop for Atolls in both Blackwood and The Deadlands zones? The loot tables for each are currently different, dropping different leads, furnishing plans and motifs. It would really be a shame for players to farm the Blackwood Atolls, when the style page only drops from Atolls in The Deadlands.

I have a bug where I was receiving purple anniversary boxes from the two dungeons in the night market, and on the third dungeon, I received a gold box. I did not do anything else before those dungeons. The other people in my group got the correct boxes.

This isn't about the Anniversary Jubilee specifically, but rather about the general changes to events in 2026.

First, a bug report: I noticed that when I was at the Indrik vendor on PTS, the feathers needed for the Nascent Indrik cost 5 trade bars each, instead of the expected 500. (I forgot to grab a screenshot at the time, made a mental note to get a screenshot the next time I was on PTS, but by the time I remembered, the Indrik vendor was gone since there were no more events being tested. Oops.)

I'm assuming that this is a bug, since all other ticket items were converted to trade bars at a 100:1 ratio, and it just looked like that the feather cost just didn't have this conversion factor applied.

Second, I think there needs to be something done for players who have already morphed an older base pet. Consider this scenario: During the recent Whitestrake event, a player who doesn't keep up with changes in the PTS buys from the Impresario's assistant the last fragment needed to morph one of the older event items, and they use it to morph, which consumes the base pet since it's currently still U48. Weeks later, when U49 launches, they learn that if only they had waited just a little bit longer and morphed after U49, they could've kept the pet. Well, there goes 1500 trade bars, down the drain.

This makes for a pretty bad user experience. I asked about this scenario earlier, and @ZOS_Kevin responded in this post with, "You will need to purchase the older fragments again. It's a tech limitation that is preventing the retroactive grant."

Okay, I understand, but I doubt that the users who are being burned by this will be happy with being told that the reason they're getting screwed is a "tech limitation". But... the bug with the Indrik feather price gives me an idea: Instead of retroactively granting the base pet to players who have unlocked at least one of the base pet's morphs, what if you decreased the price of the base pet fragments for those players?

I KNOW that you have an existing system for conditional pricing, because you already use this for scribing scripts. If the player has already learned that script somewhere on their account, the price is reduced by 90%, and that works regardless of whether the currency is gold or archival fortunes.

So if you can't retroactively grant base pets that players have unlocked in the past, then at least give them a 90% or 99% discount on them.

The new motif for this event Dapper Daredevil is gorgeous. I love the torso and legs combination. Whoever designed this deserves a lot of praise.
