Maintenance for the week of April 6:
• PC/Mac: No maintenance – April 6

Customer support, shocking

Atlanta

Well, I have reached the end of my tether with customer support.

Various tickets about not recieving the free villa have basically ended with them saying it's there in my collections. I must be blind as it most definately is not. I have had a couple of issues with support recently and not any real help has been recieved. Treated very poorly. I am on the verge of giving up this game for good due to the lack of any sensible outcomes to calls for help.

Great game, very, very poor support.

    Can you provide a screen shot of the housing tab in your collections?

    This is not the housing tab of the map, but within the collections themselves.

    I am not doubting you but providing the SS might help us help you and make something of this thread.

    another way to check if you have it unlocked is to directly open a map of Artaeum and see if its house icon shows up on the bottom, filled in with white. if its not there, then taking a screen shot would also help dealing with customer service.

    also, in my case, i have no map marker of this house on the map. Some guy show me where the house is. You need to go there directly. It's in Psijic College, from entrance take right, then go upstairs next door. In next room there will be portal to the house. After that, map icon for fast travel will appear.

    things to check

    1) Do you have the summerset add on? or have eso plus BEFORE the competition started?
    2) have you checked under collections >notable homes? - screenshotting it here would help
    3) did you do the summerset pathfinder achievement? technically this wasnt needed, but it could be a bug - if you did, screenshot it when you got it
    4) do you have the new mounts? collections > mounts (again screenshot)
    5) When did you join? are you a new player?
    6) posting your platform / server would help ZOS. i can see gina has already been tagged so i wont tag her again but i assume the team will need this.

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Hopefully this person returns to the thread and does what several posters have suggest so we know for sure. I would like to see @Atlanta give us an update.

    Hopefully it’s not one of those that drop a complaint and never return with an update.
    "And it's important to state that our decision to go with subscriptions is not a referendum on online game revenue models. F2P, B2P, etc. are valid, proven business models - but subscription is the one that fits ESO the best, given our commitment to freedom of gameplay, quality and long-term content delivery. Plus, players will appreciate not having to worry about being "monetized" in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. The fact that the word "monetized" exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all."

    yeah. good luck with that. check out his last complaint thread. forum account created in 2014 and has a total of 22 forum visits. safe to say it'll be a Christmas Halloween miracle to get a reply from him.

    Stop the grind! Get rid of stupid events and daily-quest gallore. Get rid of "have a chance of 1 in a million to get a piece of 1 in 30 to get a stupid motif or pet... wtf..."
    And at this point just remove all classes and have everyone choose their set of skills. then balance accordingly to skills always used vs. skills never used.

    eso+ was still not an requirement because it does not include chapters but dlcs, so either you have summerset chapter or you don't

    Well it didnt give notifications that it was there when zos sent it. Not the house, mount, or the pet. No normal notification that your collections had been updated... Also I couldnt see it on the map until i went into collections, went to notable homes, and found the house. Then once i traveled to it i owned it...

    Some people might not be as familiar as we are with the game, housing, or the menu system, so it might not just be that they're blind..

    huh. i didn't, I went straight for the house. although.. its possible it worked for me, becasue I previewed it before, so it was discovered already.

    in that case - physically going to Artaeum is another way of gaining acess, in case collections issue is a visual bug.

    I had that issue on the EU server. The house wasn't showing on my map. I had to physically go to the house by going into the Psijiic College, then up the stairs to the right after you enter, to go through the portal to manually get to the house. After that, the house started showing up on my map.

    It also shows on your map as soon as you port to it, using the Collections / Housing menu.

    The Summerfall rewards were added during the October 10th maintenance. As they were added during a maintenance, there will be no in-game notification that the items were added, but they can be accessed from the Collections menu.

    To visit the Grand Psijic Villa, go to the Collections menu, and select it from the Housing section. Once you have traveled to the house, it should become unlocked on the map. It will look similar to the image below in your Collections menu.

    Regarding this topic I had poor service experiences prior as I purchased Summerset twice at this point where both never unlocked the actual content.

    Luckily support eventually resolved my access so I’d qualify (on PC) even tho I was denied what I actually paid for (another issue entirely)

    All that to say support does whatever it is they want and give us a positive or poor experience depending upon whatever they want to do at the time.

    At best support is “consistently inconsistent” in providing incoherent responses that often don’t relate to our issues.
    It’s obvious they operate under metrics that are purposeful for them to grab new tickets very often but aren’t penalized if their actions create multiple interactions.

    It seems they are rewarded for moving items around vs solving. As such the forums has become a support help me or complaint forum vs game discussions.

    Not sure that anyone who controls this even cares as the experiences have gotten worse since PC closed beta til now.


    Even the system itself describes to take an impossible action to report access issues with a chapter (saying to go into the menu and select the item and open a ticket that way...chapters don’t allow those actions)


    I will use this quote to give my experience on Xbox one.
    While it ended up being unlocked I could not see it nor travel to it on the game map.

    The work around was to have a guild mate travel to their own home...then I had to travel to them...get the alert that I didn’t have privaledges to enter their home....which unlocked the home and made it appear on the map after the failed attempt.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno
    I think how this works is too different from the normal experience of unlocking a home. Perhaps a FAQ is need if a game change can’t occur.
