    Confirmed. NA/PC, not updating.

    Got one from the delve boss inside the Tomb of the Apostates in Malabal Tor. Still at 85/100.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    By the way, thanks for the heads up, OP. I would have farmed for a while before noticing, but I saw your thread just as I logging in so I am missing only one skull in the counter.

    Same here. Noted my progress, did a couple dolmens, then discovered it hadn't incremented. Did another dolmen just to be sure, and the counter did not move. I did get the Plunder Skull reward in each instance.

    Relogged, no change. Quit and came back into the game from scratch, no change. No credit toward the achievement.

    Also stockpiling skulls will not give an updated count when they do the fix because the count happens as you pick them up

    when is "tomorrow"? did they said this today or yesterday?

    i still have my last 10 skulls in the bag. someone in the zone chat said that they would count on opening?

    at this point i don't care anymore about the skull contents, i was just finishing the achievement, and i did, and when i checked found out that i was stuck in 77 skulls since yesterday. at least they could count my last 10 stored in the bag.

    It's their first long-term event, so I can understand some hiccups.

    But I don't think the event needs to be extended - the skull collection is an 8 hour grind at an average of 5 minutes apiece. Collecting on 12 characters would require 96 hours. There's approximately 456 hours during the event, so that would be roughly 21% of the time spent collecting. Put in perspective, if you got 6 hours of sleep a night that's 114 hours or 25% of the total.

    There will still be plenty of time to finish the event on a character or two that will use the title actively. But completing the full slate just to have them seems fiendish. Especially if they just repeat the event verbatim next year.

    That said, it would be totally cool of ZOS to toss in an orange dye as a thank you for your patience. Maybe not 100 Pumpkin Orange, but something like 89 Pumpkin Orange which is only like 11% less awesome and like a B+ on an easier grading scale.

    I'm just miffed they put that orange in the crown store as a stamp and not as a permanent dye. That is the most vibrant orange I have seen yet, but it's limited edition and the dye stamps only count once.

    What do you mean they only count once? They can only be used once and aren't in your inventory afterwards?
