Undaunted Event items should be given away

Tyreal1974 · November 2019

After another year of continuous issues with events, I think that the event reward items that could be earned/bought should be just given to everyone. After all, it is not the customers fault that the ZOS equipment/programming failed causing participation problems. If people cannot participate in an event due to backend issues, I think the best recourse is to just give the event items to everyone and call it a day. This way, ZOS can focus more on preventing this from happening again instead on thinking about how to extend/restart events or add event items to future events. It is not like it is costing the company any money as the in game rewards were not being sold for crowns and gems. Lets just give everyone the reward items and move on.

They better refund me my 400 undaunted keys if they do.

Sounds good to me since it's not like that would really cost ZOS any revenue. I never even got to see the rewards in game so I am amazed that there was 400 keys worth of stuff to get! But if you bought 400 keys worth of items then you should absolutely get that refunded to you if all the items were given away to everyone.

Eight Shoulder Pages. So, two copies of each page, I'm assuming.

Yup...also any other items that were exclusive to this event from the Impressario. Won't cost ZOS a red cent and a part of wants to think it could save them money since they would not have to pay for any development time to have meetings and programming to add the stuff onto a different event.

While we continue to test the fixes for the Activity Finder, we’d like to share our current plan for these fixes and the Undaunted Event: •Once the previously mentioned fixes for the Activity Finder have been verified by QA, we'll publish them to all platforms and megaservers (no downtime will be required for this to happen). The idea is to initially have these on the Live megaservers during a time when there’s no active in-game event.
•After these changes are confirmed to be stable, we’ll look at a time that we can bring the Undaunted event back for everyone to obtain the items. The current thinking is this will happen sometime in December, after the Dawn of the Dragonguard event from 11/26-12/9.
•It’s also worth noting that while Dawn of the Dragonguard has a dungeon component, its reliance on the Activity Finder is minimal.
The timeline above is subject to change based on how testing goes and how the fixes perform in a live environment. If anything changes, we'll be sure to let everyone know. We’ll post in this thread once we have more information on when the hotfix for the Activity Finder fixes will be going live.

I still think ZOS should just give everyone the items that could be earned during the Undaunted Event instead of forcing in a new event a the end of the year.

Given?
GIVEN???

Seriously, best we can hope for is that they might have pity upon us and give us more options to get the goodies when the "playing for them" thing is a bit... suboptimal.
But don't expect them to just hand out -everything-; at best we might bet some more options to play or pay for the stuff!

So with this moving of Undaunted to after Dragonguard, does that mean berry three will be available before berry two? Or will the Impressario carry all three berries?

I'm really wishing I'd logged in at my usual 2-ish pm to do the event the first day instead of nearly 4 pm right after they closed the event, I'd have spent my 10 tickets on berry two and not be wondering if/when I'll be able to complete all four plus two more feathers to finish with three colorful and one nascent Indrik mounts.

Another entitled post...geez

I'd rather be given some indication that they're serious about improving performance.

I'm not sure why you worry so much about the event, the event was cancelled because the servers couldn't handle it so if they fix the servers you can have event all day every day.

If all things are given to all players they won't be "Worth" anything and so commomn that no one would want to use it.

JadonSky · November 2019

I agree 100%. They *** up again (this is 4th year in a row). They should give everyone all the rewards, the berry, and fill up the event ticket bag for the next event. Then take more time to actully fix the damn thing instead of another rush job to try and push another grinding event..

Yup, not everyone can be billionaires....some people have to be non-billionaires, thats just the way it goes.

Nothing in the world is free except air and cups of water at participating establishments in arid climates.

Don't forget the free pens you can get from random events

No thanks. It looks like the event will be held in December and so you have time to collect keys before then to get more pages, if you like. Personally, I have no interest in monster armor styles. I just want the tickets and if I can get some gold from style page drops, that will be lovely too.

I like free stuff. but IMHO, this request is ridiculous. In the first place, as can be seen in this topic, they already have a plan to bring back the event once they have fixed the issues. In the second place, nowhere anywhere in the world is this an option for anything. Oh, your outdoor sporting event got rained out - They let you use the ticket to come back and see the game when weather permits. They do NOT give you your parking money back, Not give you the ticket price back and let Everyone in the world come in and see the game for Free.

You are advocating to just hand out full sets of everything to everyone who did not even attempt to participate, on the basis that 'it would not cost Zos anything'. I'm so glad you are so close to the inner workings of what Zos has to pay people and what things in ESO cost to develop and maintain that you can tell us what will cost them money and what won't. On your logic, All players should be given All items in the game at the start of the game because 'It doesn't cost Zos anything". There should not be anything available that you actually have to earn.

Like I said, I like free stuff. But i sure don't understand the 'I don't want to have to earn it, give me everything for free' position.

Anywhere, in any game, or in RL events, if an event gets canceled, you just have to wait until the event gets rescheduled, or you get your money back. In this case, being a part of the event cost players 0 in money, so there is no money to be refunded. You just wait for the event to be rescheduled.
