    <snip> Okay this is getting really frustrating. I did not get an event ticket today either along with my first skull on PC-NA again. I also can't get a dolmen Dremora skull for some reason, but that's concerning me less than the fact I am down 2 event tickets. I know how to get them as I have gotten 1 on EU and am not doing anything differently. <snip>

    You're probably not getting the Dremora skull at the dolmen because it's crowded and only the top 12 get loot from the boss. Avoid the busier ones like Alik'r Desert and outside Vulkhels Guard in Auridon.

    Agree. I put in a support ticket because I didn’t get a dremora skull or a ticket on my first world boss of the day - I didn’t get any loot apparently because the character I was on did not do enough damage. I had to wait a full 24 hours for my next chance at an event ticket because I didn’t get a drop on my chance for the day. Support confirmed if you don’t loot the mob, you don’t get the ticket, and suggested I play at less busy times.

    Also I have found that with the dremora skulls being on a 20 hour timer and the tickets being every 24 hours and tied to the dremora skull, you can screw your self out of your daily ticket that way too by getting a dremora skull too early.

    Support rep suggested I come to the forum to express my displeasure at that.

    I'll test this on my next day off, so if I don't get a ticket at 6am I know who to blame. ;)

    So I’m the only person who kept track and only got plain plunder skulls until a full 24 hours had passed since my failed attempt where I didn’t get boss loot?

    I’d put in another ticket about this issue but I’m pretty sure I’ll just be told to come back to the forum.

    Ahh you know what? I was doing dolmens in Auridon earlier on a low level character but it should have been before the 20 hours were up... I wonder if I miscalculated and that's what happened, because he never got to loot the boss. The one I did after I thought the timer was up had about 5 people at it in Glenumbra and I got a purple skull. Hmmmm.

    That's really unfair that not being able to loot would lose you the skull for the day. I will definitely be more careful in future to go to less crowded locations in case that was my issue.

    Thank you for the tip!

    I looted my first dremora skull and didn't get an event ticket. Anyhone else have this problem?

    I have opened 20 golden skuls and a billion purple plunder buckets. I have got 3 event tickets. I don't know if this is normal, it probably is.

    After the posts about this, I've gone to just doing the one delve I know well (Divad's Chagrin.... don't ask) every day. So far, four out of four tickets. Works for me. Better the bird in the hand than the one in the bush.... I've done a couple of world bosses, and a dolmen or so after getting the first skull, but really, I'm just more interested in getting all the tickets I can (with the few days I'm going to be out until I get the stick from my friend with his complete install after he downloads Murkmire). I might not get 10 this festival.

    While Witches Festival starts on October 18, I play and do all event activity.
    But since yesterday I stopped to receive Event tickets. I am in the game at least 8 hours per day, also I check cool down time 20 hours, then i do all daily activities (bosses, trials, etc) but nothing happened. Today is 5th day but I have still 3 tickets. It stops to drop from Plunder Skulls!!!"

    I think the issue is that event tickets come with Dremora skulls and have a 20 hour cool down. So if you get the Dremora skulls before the cool down ends you are messed up. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

    That would be broken based on how they describe gaining event tickets in their release.

    I had to wait 24 hours for the ticket and gold dremora skulls to reset yesterday. I tried for them on multiple boss types after 21 hours had passed from the previous day (not a failed attempt) and got plunder skulls. Just downloaded the add-on to try sorting it out. It doesn't look like it tracks the event tickets though. Due to work I can't test till Tuesday evening so perhaps someone else will verify what the deal is by then.

    I'm also missing tickets, at least one due to a bug.

    Am also wondering if/where any official information was released about these cooldown timers. I only know about the timers via other players on forums -- don't see anything about it in the official blog post, etc.

    Kind of absurd to have 8(?) different 20-hr timers plus one 24-hour and not explain that anywhere -- at least, anywhere players would easily find the info. (Again, unless I'm missing something obvious.)

    EDIT: found this Support bit. Still unfortunate this info didn't seem to be included up-front, from the beginning.
