can someone please tell me the definition of a 'boss monster'
Is a world boss a 'boss monster'?
Is a delve boss a 'boss monster'?
Many thanks

I picked up the Elsweyr's daily quests and then killed a dragon in EU, I got the tickets. Killed a world boss in NA and got tickets.

@OgginOz7 A world boss is a boss monster. A delve boss is a boss monster. The last boss in a dungeon is a boss monster. A dragon is a boss monster. Kill any of those for a guaranteed tickets drop.

Some answers are incredible, whats next?

Are you sure you have the PC turned on @HjorrMundGandr?

I know right. Like offshore tech support going through preliminary restart protocols for a router.

" Good day sir/maam. Could you please make sure your router is switched on"

Had this issue today:

Character 1: fought a dragon, but the game froze at 6 million health. I had to Alt+F4 out of the game because ESO became unresponsive. I killed nothing, and only fought the Dragon.

Character 2: fought and killed 2 dragons (and only 2 dragons). No event tickets. Later killed a delve boss, making sure I looted everything along the way. No event tickets.

I started a ticket for Support, because my assumption is that I was awarded the event tickets for the first dragon, but couldn't collect them due to the game becoming unresponsive before the dragon died.

Ticket Number: #191004-001128

Progress on the Ticket:
I use the Ask for Help option so I get an email response.
1st Response: Support repeated the rules of the event and how to acquire Event Tickets.
(Not unexpectedly, Support barely reads the first message sent in. I've replied by repeating my problem.)

2nd Response: Support pointed out that I'd gotten the date wrong and asked for clarification. (Looks like its time to change my calendar from September to October!)

Success! On the 3rd response, Suppprt gave me the missing 2 tickets. Thank you, Support!

My guild had a discussion about event tickets and decided the Anniversary Cake was the BEST way to get tickets. Memento you activate to get your tickets. No looting mobs issues. Daily quest turn-in would be a second best, but Cake was best!

This does seem like a very good idea. Still requiring you to participate, by doing a pre-quest of sorts. Maybe the momento gets "charged" with the soul of a dragon ( *Dungeon boss, land boss, delve boss. Etc etc.) allowing for you to activate it and collect.

I was thinking of something similar with the game just giving them to you straight into your inventory like the Soul line ability. Once killing the required monster they just pop in, if your inventory is full ;ie 12/12. Then it will be in the loot of the monster.

I also thought about a colored glowing system for loot. Almost like the APEX system. A corpse will glow with the highest rated color item. White for standards, green, blue, purple, gold etc....

So the fix for this that ZOS needs to do is... the ticket generator needs to see did the account recieve the daily limit yet? If no then continue to generate tickets in the loot until equals yes. This way you group and some unknown location has your tickets, you can still get them in another drop. This will give the same experience as was intended without penalizing players for grouping or plain having a system glitch not show a loot drop.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_SarahHecker

It seems they want people to miss tickets. Why else would they consistently create pitfalls for players to lose tickets?

Why not create a simple warning screen to tell players they are at the cap when earning more tickets? Why not respawn more tickets in loot if the player has not yet looted tickets from de spawned corpses? Why make the stupid decision to spawn tickets in normal trash mobs when is easy for anyone with half a brain to predict what problems are going to arise from that.

Of course they benefit from players missing tickets. User error = having to grind the event more or buy event tickets to make up the lack.

Make a problem, then sell a solution.

If I accidentally kill a bug (e.g., centipede) while killing other things that have attacked me (e.g., wolves), the game shows me the dead bug as a lootable object even if the other things aren't lootable-- i.e., it's pretty hard to miss that there's a bug corpse to loot. And if I kill several things that were attacking me, looting any one of them gives me the stuff from all of them, which includes the innocent bug that got killed by accident as collateral damage.

So it's pretty hard to miss looting something you've killed, unless you're just not even trying to. Because of this, I'm starting to think that whatever flag or logic is being used to decide whether a given account on a given server has already been awarded event tickets on a given day is somehow causing the problem, such as maybe it isn't getting reset like it should from one day to the next. But I have no idea how this is being kept track of and determined for each account, so I might be totally wrong.

My first day of the event after 3 blue screens to get my Onyx Indrik, I killed random mobs on my way to a dragon, looting as I always do, got a blue screen twice while looting, killed the dragon, and recieved no tickets.
After killing more bosses and receiving no tickets, I sent in a ticket.
I'm guessing that one of the times I blue screened, a mob that wasn't looted had my tickets.
What I don't understand is, that from the wayshrine to the dragon wasn't very far, and that if those few mobs I killed had both my tickets, then the mob ticket drop happens more often than rare.
Long story short, I'm out two tickets in an event I was well informed and prepared for.
Needless to say, the first day of what should have been a fun event was frustrating and robbed me of the tickets I did everything right to get.
