Actually, I was planning on buying one or two more copies of Summerset for me and my friend if the house was among achieved rewards

Sorry, but this seems really, really weird to me. Either the marketing/events department had a late night party when they came up with this idea, or they really have no idea about what players will, and won't spend there time on. A casual player isn't likely to even bother doing this as theirs no reason to if they only play 2-3 hours a week. Dungeons give way better rewards, and they get this events rewards anyway just by logging into the game.

Casual players should be quite interested in this, because it is probably their only chance of getting any kind of notable house in-game, because they don't spend enough time to earn gold, so they could get manor like this by ingame means and I doubt casuals will spend 100$ on the game they play 10 or less hours a week.

The end game/outcome on this makes absolutely no sense to me. We only have 9-10 days to achieve it, yet anyone with Summerset gets the reward even though they may not have contributed to the end goal. IE: just by logging in. Not only that, they have another week after the event to log in.

I always considered this kind of events as a concealed giveaway. It would be not very smart to just give away a manor, but to wrap this manor in event that will require players to do something is a decent idea. The week long gap after event ends is there for PR purposes, like "you have one week to buy Summerset and receive all this decent rewards for free" which I suppose makes sense if and only if all rewards are achieved.

I wonder, if ZOS department which was responsible for this event miscalculated turnover. That would be not so good, because it would mean that ZOS is a bit too optimistic about their numbers.

Or maybe information about this event is not reaching enough people

I just did it on EU. On my "NA server is offline for some reason all day" character Ich Mach Jungs.

Joined a couple guilds. Got a port to Artaeum from people standing by ready to help people complete for the Summerfall event.

Good times. Joined a couple guilds for no reason.

Pennylong · September 2018

I want to get to 100% and have done my bit but I don't think we will get there. It's possible a lot of people don't even know or care the event is on.

Sarannah · September 2018

If we do not make the 100% it will be because there was barely any time to even know there was an event. Only two days before the start it was announced, and it only lasts 7 days. This is a way too short of a window as most people do not check websites daily, or even weekly.

However, my guess why saturday's increase was only 5% is because the time the % is counted is early saturday morning for america. And most people go out or have real life events on friday. I'm thinking today and tomorrows increases may be fairly larger as they are true weekend increases. If so, we can do it... if not, then probably not hehe

Maybe ZOS should consider all those who have gotten the achievement on their account, to give them the rewards anyways(if we do not make the 100%). As those are the players who cared about it the most.

Tavore1138 · September 2018

Not sure

Depends - they've set it up so that they can send it either way without us having any way to know how close we may or may not be.

The hopeful element of that is they want to give us a feel good event that also sells them more copies - thus we'll just scrape into the 100% on the final day and celebration will ensue. Sure they'll probably sell a 6k crown furniture pack for iut the following month and so on but that's fair enough and optionsl.

The cycnical side of me says the marketing departmnent will never allow that to happen and we'll fail with 90% and be presented, as consolation, with a special limited time offer to get the house for 'just' 15k crowns....

NoTimeToWait · September 2018

Yes! We can do it!

It would be bad for this event to fail just because this event is first of its kind and the future of this kind of events depends on the results. So, I would assume, participating in the event would not only support current event progression, but also would provide more chances of getting different kind of events in future.
If more people participate, this kind of community event will happen more often in future

At-least the mount is highly likely now.

Oh my...up 16%..o.o. I feel hope again.

Latios · September 2018

Oh, that's a very beautiful 16% jump. I believe today's progress will be key. The mount is pretty much guaranteed.

I love that you've been posting it like this for everyone!

So far our worst daily increase has been 5% (for a friday). So assuming only getting 5% each weekday next week, we needed at least an increase of 15% today. We got +16% so there's still a glimmer of hope. We're going to need to also hit at least 15% tomorrow to have any chance of making that 100% goal at the end of the week, though.

Would more say 20 cause has we head into a work week, the percents are going to tapper off monday and tuesday, may pick up wedsday and thursday, but everyone is normally focus elsewhere the first two days of a work week

It's 5 P.M. in Central Europe, our Sunday evening efforts will show on tomorrow's update: the mount is pretty much done, we'll see if about the house, spreading the word in zones' chat is key, I think

September 23 - Day 4 - 63% (+16% for 9/22, barely makes up for a poor Saturday turnout)

this is in parts the saturday turnout, not the sunday turnout. they stop counting one hour before, for a lot of countries its sunday noon or morning, so tomorrow same time u gonna have an idea about the weekend. (info from kai schober on german forum)

JJBoomer · September 2018

Nope (Don't be negative)

idk anymore, the jumps don't make sense to me. Part of me thinks we are being set up to fail for the house so that they can be like

"awww you guys didn't try hard enough! No worries though, the house will be available in the crown store for 3 days at a 10% discount wooo, go get it!!!"

MooseKnuckles88 · September 2018

Where's the incentive for people to make the effort to actually do it. In other words, I have Summerset, yet don't have to contribute to getting these rewards, as I'll get them anyway. At this stage they already get a pony, probably a horse and even better, ESO is possibly giving me a villa because I have the Summerset chapter.

Sorry, but this seems really, really weird to me. Either the marketing/events department had a late night party when they came up with this idea, or they really have no idea about what players will, and won't spend there time on. A casual player isn't likely to even bother doing this as theirs no reason to if they only play 2-3 hours a week. Dungeons give way better rewards, and they get this events rewards anyway just by logging into the game.

So yes very, very, weird.

Am I missing something?

(and yes I've done my part for the team)

Thalidar

That's like when people think their political candidate is going to win, so they don't bother voting ... then their candidate loses because they didn't get enough votes. That's their incentive.

Sarannah · September 2018

Was hoping for a jump like this for the first weekend day, tomorrow's jump will show the sunday's progress.

Still though, with maintenance and a workweek and many players having already done the event.... it's going to be close!

If you did the event on both servers, you will be hit by the nerfs twice :P

We have longer than September 28 to get the house.

SydneyGrey · September 2018

Yes! We can do it!

My only issue with this event is that once we've done our part, there is nothing else we can do to help. I mean, we can taxi people to Artaeum, but that's it. I wish it counted if we did the achievement on multiple characters on the same server. It would be more fun for people like me, and give us more to do.

I did take people to Artaeum a few times, but I'm not going to spend all day doing it.

Koronach · September 2018

Nope (Don't be negative)

63% Now that's more like it, faith in humanity restored.

The only other thing you can do is just spread the word in your guilds. Even if we don't get the house the event has really been successful in bringing the community together which is really nice.

Yes, that's true. Some people who play casually might not have heard about the event yet, since not everyone frequents the forums.

Altaire · September 2018

Nope (Don't be negative)

I think ZoS messed up by not including the PTS. That way ppl that haven't got the summerset expansion could test it out and participate. And a free manor would have been a major incentive to up-grade.
