Do you care about the summerfall event and the house?

Defilted · September 2018

I went and did the achievement to help players in the quest of getting the rewards. I guess you can say I care. I do not care if I personally get any of the rewards or not.

I think the event on the whole is a good idea and it is cool they are doing something we can all contribute to. This is why I contributed as to encourage this kind of event in the future.

These specific rewards are not important to me.

There should be pet and mount rewards in game that are hard to get. These mounts/pets will stand out as you earned something that was difficult. VMA comes to mind as this is hard to complete and the rewards are nice. These are the types of things you can add mounts and pets too that would allow you to have something that few others have.

There was a mount reward in WOW that required you to have a druid in your group and fight a optional boss for a chance to get the mount. At first this boss was hard to kill when the expansion came out. It was a rare mount to see for a while and it was cool to have something that a lot of players did not have. Later of course they nerfed the requirements and everyone was able to obtain easily, but for a time it was a cool thing IMO.

There is not a lot of this in ESO and I would like to see more of it.

Do not get me wrong I do like the community event. I wish the rewards where more meaningful. Mounts and all that are cool, but I have 22 mounts. I have several houses. Do not need a event to get more?

For example. Rewards held until the next event.

Increased movement speed for everyone
More XP for everyone
faster mount speed for everyone
Double node rewards in a specific area
Free costume changes in the dye station
free respecs

Let the community work together to make the game better for everyone.

One last thing. If the house was put up for the reward with this statement I think it would have more meaning to the players.

Upcoming community event.
-If all players complete the event and we get to 100% we are going to give away a house for free. If we do not get it the house will be sold for 20K crowns

This would be a cool thing to know we have a chance to get it for free but can buy it if we fail. This of course does not change the reward and it is still a just a house reward, but there is some defined stakes in the event.

So basically more items like the Stonefire scamp and near impossible to get Soul-Shriven skin from the ICS?

Yes, though the act of getting the chance to get the drop should be just as hard. Hard to kill boss, plus small drop chance IMO. This makes the reward special when you get it which is more important than making sure everyone gets it.

It's like a free crown crate. Can take it or leave it.

When I read through this thread I was at first annoyed. I felt like a lot of the players who responded to this thread were selfish and had little sense of community. Why not just take 30 minutes out of your day to jump over to either the EU or NA server to help out your fellow players! So rude!

But then I took a step back and realized that gaming really is ME time. These so called "selfish players" may be totally giving in their real life and that gaming for them is the one moment where they really don't need to worry about other people. I completely get that!

Anywho, not sure why I felt the need to type this out but I did. Thanks for just being in ESO everyone!

Well, that wouldn't be a community event anymore.
The point of event like the current one (beside being marketing tools to boost the chapter sells), is to reward as many people as possible, the house is special because it's tied to the event, even if it won't be rare if we happen to get it. Same with mount and pet.
I don't know why so many people care about exclusive collectibles: rather than having unique things maybe try to use them in unique ways

EmEm_Oh · September 2018

When events like these happen, it would be kinda cool to have emblems to display on your toon/mount. Have the option of displaying up to 5 or something on the side of a mount and/or on your character chest area. The emblems would be available...but only if you completed the achievement/event specifics, and decided to pay 50 crowns or so per emblem.

I replied "No", and I don't consider myself a selfish person. (yes I read all of your post, I just want to explain)

I real life, I lead a very supportive role to an active military member. There is a lot to that- some people will get it, others can't because you really do need to go through it to appreciate what it entails. I give, I nurture, and I heal.

This is a game. And, while it is an engaging hobby that I pay for, my loyalty is elsewhere.

I see the current state of the game, for me, to be at an almost unacceptable level. The Crown Store has grown over the last couple years to be the #1 source of focus. DLCs get more anemic. The unattainable state of "balance" when you don't separate PvP and PvE rulesets. And lack of Dev communication.

Regarding lack of communication: the Warden bear nerf. Yes, Gina spoke. But, she didn't explain the reason for the nerf. She stepped around it, saying other numbers were reallocated to make up for the 30% damage reduction.

So, I as a consumer and a customer, am not that impressed with what ESO is shifting into. More Cash Shop focus, aggressive marketing to move us into it, and watered down game development, with questionable reasoning for fundamental class changes.

Back to the event itself: my heart simply isn't in it. That's kind of it.

Would be nice, but not a dealbreaker. I mean, its a house. Got a few of those already

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy doing various events and breaks the slow drag of other areas in the game, but I genuinely just don't care about the rewards in this event.

I rather get 200 transmute crystals than another house. Perhaps I'm biased because I already have a house (nothing huge, just Mournhold Keep) and that's plenty for me. Also, since I've already completed this achievement a while ago I don't feel like there's anymore I can do.

Housing and pets are things that I don't care about in ESO and because of that I won't be upset at all if event fails. Done pathfinder on EU long time ago but I really don't have motivation to do in on NA, there's nothing in it for me.

No, not really.
Got my achievement back in the days on Na server, there is no way I'm going to create a toon in the eu server.
Did my share, don't really care about pet, Mount or the house.

@MooseKnuckles88 @Lettigall @MinarasLaure

You all can do it for the community, for your friends and guild mates. There could be an event in ESO with your favourite in-game activity, and mybe there would be a reward for your liking... that you won't get because people wouldn't be interested in something they don't really like to do. Changeing region, creating a toon and finishing the tutorial, then grabbing the achievement can be done in an hour, and that helps for a couple ten thousands of fellow players...

Sorry but I don't want to waste an hour of my time for something I don't have zero interest in and if the time come, I will respect what other people do with their valuable time.

Yet you wasted 3-5 minutes here to write that down. Guess that 3-5 minutes were not important to you.

I can access the forum from work, while I can't play from work.

Your point doesn't make sense.
I don't feel like wasting even half an hour of my time doing something I have no pleasure in doing for something I'm not interested in.
Deal with it.
Whoever says it takes half an hour to get the achievement on the other server simply lies.
It takes at least a good hour, and considering I can do so many different thing I enjoy, it's a no for me.
I and many others already got the achievement on the server we play on, and that's what we feel is enough from us as contribution.
If you guys have the time to get the achievement on both servers, good for you, I dont.

I call it a bs. Took me 15 minutes on NA server to do it. PPl there teleport you around to get achievement done in no time cause they care.

Roxie5D · September 2018

At first I only cared about getting the mount (cus I have no cool ones). But as we get closer to getting the house, I'm actually curious about housing stuffs now ^^

Cadbury · September 2018

I don't get emotionally attached to any ingame events, so I can't say I "care" about it.

Having said that, I already had the achievement and took somes guildies around to help them unlock it. Even showed them the house we could potentially earn.

All in all, I did my part.

I disagree. I don't find rewards any less special if someone else has it. I'm happy for everyone who will get the things from the Summerfall event and I hope there are more events like this because tying rewards to RNG sucks for everyone except those few lucky enough to get the drop.

Teneriel · September 2018

I want the house very much; I don't get to play a lot, and when I do, I find it relaxing to craft furniture and decorate. That house would be amazing.

The downside would be, if we don't get it, I'll be a little bit sad every time I log into the game for a while. So I really hope we get it.

I've been very happy to see people pitching in and helping to create a fun community event, so that's definitely an added bonus.

It'll be my only Manor(assuming it is Manor sized), will never actually buy any of the Crown exclusive homes.

Too expensive for a virtual home that isn't even cross-server.

Veinblood1965 · September 2018

Leaning both ways. I just started a few months ago and have been purposely not venturing to summerset at all unless I have to so I can work through prior content first. I hate to not assist the community also. I'll decide tonight when I get home.

Unique means one of a kind. How would you offer this to a MMO? Sure it would be nice to have something unique and that no one else has, but I just can't see how this would be implemented. Even if you had a item(Reward) that could be changed or morphed/modified to the players liking there would be limited choices and if it was something that was used in game for PVE or PVP there would quickly become a meta that was preferred in these groups.

I also am aware that the community event is different than the awards I am speaking of. I am just tired of generic rewards everyone has. This is why hard to achieve things in MMO's are important to me. Makes the rewards less abundant and gives the players a sense of accomplishment as the players is one of few people who have the reward.

I know it is possible to offer hard to achieve, therefore rare reward now. I would like to see your idea for a unique reward.

I couldn't care less about the housing aspect of the game. Maybe one day i'll try it out, but not any time soon.

True, when I wrote "unique" I didn't mean literally, just very rare and inaccessible for the general population.
I could imagine ways to have truly unique rewards (a one off event with leaderboards, first one on each platform/server gets the prize or maybe a 3d modelling contest, the winner gets his entry in game) but I think that in a MMO that's a bad idea as you'd have game assets that pretty much no one sees.

I think that ESO already has these: there are achievements, skins, sets accessible only through hard content, be it solo or group: you'd like to have more of those or something else entirely?
