Sadly, this is the very first ESO event where I couldn’t actually complete/collect all the festival items. I’ve played the same (or more) amount of hours and collected hundreds of Plunder Skulls, yet not a single mask (and I already have both from last year). I’m really disappointed in the crappy RNG this go around...it just makes no sense.
On the bright side, if you need branches, I got you, me, and the next 20 players covered.

Aquanova✭✭✭✭✭Yeah I agree with you OP. The RNG really stunk this time around and the added crap along with the older stuff diluted the loot tables to oblivion plus, trying to complete CWC and farm skulls at the same time was kinda messed up imo.Edited by Aquanova on November 1, 2017 3:16AMNA/PC4 -

And I work like ... 9 of them. So I'll have time to get home, login on everyone and give them one last "dose" of witchiness (hoping it "stays" like last year), run a random, and then go to sleep.

✭✭✭I have to admit to being totally underwhelmed with this years Festival.
Drop rates were terrible for new players and nothing really new for old players except 2 new masks, recolored last years masks that glow, a few housing designs, which some was just a copy/paste of existing items, and a WHOLE LOT of sticks.
Please ZoS, take notice of the disappointment with this years WF and make the New Life Festival as awesome as it was last year..Please...

Except it's exactly the same event with the goals made less obtainable.

I wasn't around for last year's event due to computer troubles and was looking forward to this years. But even I was disappointed in this event. After the jesters festival and anniversary events that had quests and good loot, this just felt devoid of any and all real point other than "OOH SO BUFF EVERYONE LET'S SWARM DOLMENS LIKE THE PLAGUE!"
New life festival sounds more promising based in the number of achievements alone. Seems like there's more to it. But it's a shame it looks to be the same as last year's with no new achievements for those who did it all last year.1 -

Reverb✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Last year's event was longer. This year was shorter, had the loot table diluted by the branches, and was punctuated by a downtime and patch download for the cwc dlc. It was not a good year for anyone doing the event for the first time. It was a very good year for the Crown Store though.Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche3 -

everyone swams dolmens event or not, so i cant see how you can blame that on the festival. after all, its all the noobs hear about in chat, about how you gotta dolmen bot to lvl fast.
if you couldnt find a point in all of this, you need to look elsewhere for your enjoyment. there was so much going on and if you cant find it while its all the rage, you'll never find it at other times0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Eh. It was my first time doing the Witches Festival (missed out last year) and I was able to get all the motifs and the title on my main and two alts. Plus got 6 masks and gave two away to guildies.

Oh, and if you need sticks I have those too, lots and lots of sticks. Some are burnt though.

Just take solace in the fact that masks in this game all look meh because of the forced hood they always have. And you're looking at your character's back almost all of the time playing, unless you're in 1st person.Edited by Rawkan on November 1, 2017 12:00PM0 -

Agreed. I would be be upset about it if they were required for an achievement. I don't really care too much, but I think they need to do away with the mindless RNG and put in a points system, so you at least know if I do x amount of work, I will get y at that time.1 -

Rouven✭✭✭✭✭
✭I don't want to be ungrateful, but apart from the masks and the burnt shrubbery there wasn't really anything new. So all the recipes and motifs where "sort of" useless to me this time around.
Add me to the "no masks list". Since I haven't really worn my other two from last year at all I'm not upset, just not feeling it.
