Spoiled 2 tickets by using cake with 12 tickets in inventory.

[edit] I've lost hundreds of transmute stones because I keep forgetting about the tiny limit.

The whole point of events is to get you to log in every day. If you could hoard tickets from previous events there would no longer be any incentive to do the current ones.

Which is a pointless holdover from the Subscription days. I get they want to incentivize log ins. Arbitrary low limits are a lazy way to accomplish that.

You have to log in to actually use the cake to get the tickets. Thus, you are already logged in, so what's the harm in spending them. The limit doesn't change the fact that you're already logged in to get the tickets.

You might have an argument if you got the tickets regardless of logging in, you just got 2 a day, and were thus "forced" to log in or you would "lose" them, but that isn't the case here.

Suggestion: can the items being sold for tickets have a 50% sale someday?

xan4silkb14_ESO · April 2019

As has been said before. You have at least 3 days to make sure you don't go over 12 tickets.

Day 1 you have 8 tickets. You get 2 more and now have 10. Spend some now or wait till tomorrow
Day 2 you have 10 tickets. You get 2 more and now have 12. Spend some now or wait till tomorrow.
Day 3 you already have 12 tickets. Spend some immediately or you will lose tickets when you eat your cake.

15 Alts is the argument. The vendor is not near where all the other activities, and, its still a stupid arbitrary limit designed to manipulate the population into doing something that does not need to be done.

The good news is, I dont care one whit for the Indryk, and I have yet to spend a feather on it. It just bothers me as the reason for the limit is no longer supported by trying to keep people subbed.

If you care to spend the time on 15 alts you have time to use those tickets. Not much of an argument in my book and hey, you could get lucky as one of Bolgrul's quests is in fact near the Impresario in Glenumbra.

Mitrenga · April 2019

Well, they warned the player base about it. I know the system could be better but it is what it is. RIP. Sorry for your loss.

Nestor · April 2019

That's one event for one week.

It's still a limit set for conditions that no longer exist

Asardes · April 2019

Done the same by mistake but in the great scheme of things I realize that it doesn't really matter since I can get enough anyway to buy the berries and enough feathers to make all the indriks

The conditions for the limit still exist, at least how I perceive them to actually be. ZoS wants people to participate in these quarterly events. ZoS wants the player base to feel that they don't need to particpate in every event to earn these special Indrik mounts or whatever its selling. ZoS doesn't actually want someone to earn these "limited time only" prizes without actually participating a little bit in the quarter in which they are available. So they have a 12 ticket limit to allow you to hoard tickets between events so you could skip one event from each of the last 2 quarters and still buy nearly everything that was offered.

Huh? Aren't there so many things that are an "incentive" to log in everyday?

Daily rewards
horse training
crafting assistants
crafting writs
Transmutes from RotW
undaunted keys
literally each and every daily quest

.

Why pick this one to complain about?

NorthernNightmare · April 2019

Why even have a cap? seems like a way to get you once more, to buy the tickets

Stellarvorous · April 2019

@Reistr_the_Unbroken Doh we got another fish that's a big one reel it in!

I never laid claim that my opinions are 100% fact they are the same as everyone elses opinions and I stand behind and support my opinions regardless though you and tiger are welcome to do the same in return

Also I didn't realize I needed to raise my hand chanting notice me senpai :'( so the OP would give me the go ahead to speak on the public forum I must have missed that in the terms of agreement.

Again I didn't realize disagreeing was considered rude these days I would make a special snowflake joke it would probably get removed as a trolling/baiting attempt cant have that

.

"And nobody asked for yours either, but here you are, jumping into other people’s posts when they weren’t even talking to you in the first place and you rudely claiming that nobody else’s opinions matter but your own. "

See above? you literally did the same thing as tiger did along with my self but yet you 2 are going to sit in judgement like your levitating over me like we didn't all barge into this post tossing our opinions out there *because that's what happens on public forums*

But you are going to claim im being rude? Hypocrite much? Here is a hint this is a public forum "Everyone" are welcome to their opinions regardless of what they are and they do not need special permissions to speak on the forums.

Also if you nor tiger can handle folks disagreeing with you id stick to Open world PvE where the bot trains are I hear they give outstanding witty rebuttals with moderate room for comebacks when it comes to disagreements.

Now its your move *check*

Everyone knows what happens to overflow when you are at max. The transmute stones work the same way, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Hmm, math genius? When you're trying to get something into your overloaded inventory - you just can't get it until you free some space. But items doesn't disappear, even the quest rewards.

Well, players don’t even have to be a math genius.

They do have to be a reading genius.

Because the event announcement clearly states there is a ticket cap.

Reevster · April 2019

First world problems...

Stellarvorous · April 2019

@Reevster ill agree with you on that one lol its like they don't realize this is a video game and the entire concept of it is to waste time for personal entertainment they take for granted the ability to waste time and money in a fantasy world.

While other folks in the world are probably wondering how they are going to pay their rent next month or what will they do for dinner or medical bills or find a place to sleep for the night but hey 12 event tickets as a cap that's just as important right

Now to be clear I do play this game I waste time and I waste money on it by choice but I do my honest best to try and understand not everyone in the world has that luxury to waste money and time in this game as good as it is though it still has issues.

I don't know if anyone will agree with me when I say this if not then fine but *imo* We are spoiled rotten at the fact we have the means to do these things consistently.

If you agree or disagree its your choice though I am curious on everyones opinion regarding this one.

Just like I don't know why you can only have one boss quest at a time.

...and like I don't know why you can only have 25 quests, in your quest log, despite there being multiple crafting dailies, writs and so on.

...and like I don't know why they designed this event to be broken up into separate weeks of doing one thing, obsessively, all the time.

I just don't know why they make everything so unnecessarily annoying, frankly?

THAT is the question for the ages-- why make this stuff so irritating? 20 hr. timers on horse training, stupid low and arbitrary ticket limits, daily timers that reset at different times of the day, limited availability of items on in-game merchants...

They've even made opting out of events painful this go-round by giving you tickets to worry about if you only want the XP boost.

Ugh.

Oh, give me a break.

We're not 10 year olds learning life lessons.

We're adults, who will just wander off and do something else, once we reach the end of our tethers.

It's a game, for God's sake.

Apparently not.

ESO is Life.

Many cannot live w/out ESO.

We need to tell you that. NOT FOR INTERNAL CONSUMPTION!

Alinhbo_Tyaka · April 2019

Lost a ticket today as I thought I had less than were really there and didn't bother to check. No big deal I spent them and will get two more tomorrow. I suspect it will happen a couple more times before the year is out and those won't be a big deal either as tickets are pretty plentiful.

rumple9 · April 2019

I gave up on event tickets long ago, dont bother wasting my time with them

Are you serious? Using cake when you have 12 tickets in inventory spoils the daily ones?

Got 12 tickets - used daily cake - spent 10 tickets for berry - used daily cake again - no more tickets.

Are you serious that this should work that way?

Damn ZoS you make me mad EVERY time you make ANYTHING...

Tip: If you have a previous year cake, use it. You will get the xp buff but not the tickets.

Oooooooh. I never thought of doing that! THANK YOU. I will now transmute all the "I don't have nirnhoned researched on that" on my main crafter!

Holy crap, thank you SO MUCH!

Oh wait. I'll have to do that on my second account, then send the transmuted gear to my first account so she can research it. Well, still it's a great idea!

@Tigerseye I didn't recall anyone else ask your opinion either but here we are.

The OP posted a complaint and I answered with a comment referencing that complaint.

Whereas, you just made a pointless comment complaining about his complaining and calling it "whining".

See the difference?

You're trolling and I'm addressing the issues.

And if the events are so horrible why bother doing them?

I don't do the events, except by default.

I'm doing what I normally do and the events are ruining my normal gameplay.

Because, last week I couldn't get anyone to do dailies, as they were too busy chain-crafting and this week the game is full of people who don't know how to do dailies, as they never normally do them.

Meaning the rest of us have to spend all day telling them how, knowing that they won't even be here, after the event ends, so it is a complete waste of time.

God knows what joys next week will bring...

If having to go to an event vendor to spend tickets is so hard and time consuming *Woe is me* why bother doing it?

Whether you agree or disagree with me doesn't matter end of the day OP came to complain about something extremely minor when the game is suffering from actual issues that would benefit better from attention of the devs like say idk

1 Class Balance
2 Game Performance
3 Bugs Like being Stuck in Combat.
4 PvP And All related Issues
5 The future of the game in general

You know minor things trifles! but hey I guess being able to hold only 12 event tickets at once is rough and not being able to get more till those 12 are spent Oh have mercy on us Sithis its too much to much I say!

Those mount rides from wayshrines near the event vendors must be killer that whole minute of being on auto run must just burn the muscles in the hand....

Sarcasm aside if this seriously is what you think Zos should be spending their time on to *accommodate* some people who make it sound as if its almost a chore to play the game and do these events for their own rewards then I have to ask why bother logging on to play it?

All complaints about issues (which exist) are valid, as far as I am concerned.

I'm not here to prioritise which issue is more important than which.

Sorting this particular issue out would take very little time.

Probably less time than your pointless little lists and attempts at insults took to write, in fact...
