Planned Ripoff?

FlopsyPrince · December 2019

I have been encountering missed tickets, the latest 3 tickets yesterday for a boss kill, though I looted all the bosses I killed that day.

Really annoying and makes me start to wonder if they plan this to encourage us to spend in the crown store to "catch up".

Support will do little to nothing about it.

This time is even more annoying that the ones I lost for the dragon kills. It was only 1 each time for those. 3 at once here is really hard hitting!

While I have not stressed about tickets in a long time as I prefer to play the game vs have the game play me (event burnout long ago) some aspects have a 20 or 24 hour cooldown which might have tripped you up. Just a shot in the dark, especially since you provided no relative information other than you think you missed out on 3 tickets.

It seems to be a bug. They're not out to get you.

Boss kill tickets are notoriously fickle. The same thing was happening during the Imperial City event, once I had to kill three bosses before one finally dropped my tickets. It isn't conspiracy, they're probably using the same line of buggy code for all events.

Just send in a Support ticket. Once you get through to a real person they've been pretty good about refunding missing tickets.

According to the experiences of several guildies, no they're not. Even when you get to a real person (if you can stomach the who knows how long back and forth to get there) their tickets were closed with a, "you do not fulfill the requirements" brush off though I know they did because we went "ticket hunting" together and I got mine, so they should have gotten theirs too.

I've been lucky and have yet to miss any tickets, but after seeing how they were fobbed off I'm going to save myself the aggravation of trying to talk to support as it will likely be meaningless.

Tip - First Dark Fissure of the day always drops the 3 tickets, why stress with world boss.

DragonRacer · December 2019

I am sorry for your luck. So far, I have been very fortunate and gotten all my tickets as intended daily. Usually off my first dragon kill of the day or I pick up a Northern Elsweyr delve daily and make sure to kill the delve boss in there. Those tend to be quiet so you can solo the boss and know you should get the loot from it.

tmbrinks · December 2019

No issues here with getting tickets. Just make sure it's the first thing I do each morning and always loot.

Canned_Apples · December 2019

next skill line is going to be EXTRA-grindy.

Tsar_Gekkou · December 2019

Me and a friend both missed those tickets somehow even though were playing during the reset and looted the bosses we killed, then tried again a few hours later. I think it's just the server screwing up because the code for tickets is probably tied to the code that lets you roll dodge or something dumb like that.

Kiralyn2000 · December 2019

Gotten my tickets easily every day. Log in to an alt who's sitting at the bottom of a delve, kill the boss, 3 tickets. Switch to my first New Life Daily alt, get two tickets from the first daily. /shrug

(not sure if it makes a difference, but my boss fights have been anywhere from 1-3 people. No huge crowds.)

Sometimes it is good, sometimes it isn't. Ironically I just got 3 missed tickets restored and was notified of that, the same time as I lost 3 tickets on the other server for the same problem.

They really need to work on making their systems better. One easy fix would be for the "Got your ticket(s)" flag to not get set until you get your tickets. That way you could just kill something else (or whatever) for the missing tickets. Having it only generate off the very first kill and then be gone was not a smart move on their part, especially with so many looting oddities.

The problem is not doing the kills, it is getting the tickets for them, sometimes. I can't figure a pattern out for sure, but the tickets are gone if you miss them!

I lost a dragon ticket from the previous event. I dc’ed b4 I could loot the dead dragon. When I relogged, the dragon was gone along with the ticket. Submitted a support ticket. After the useless automated response, I replied back that it didn’t solve my problem and I wanted my account to be credited the missing ticket. The ESO support person was very gracious and credited my account a ticket. If you have a similar situation, ESO support should do the same for you.

ESO support is great once you get past the automated messages. Much better than other staff I've had to deal with.

Salix_alba · December 2019

I've been getting my tickets from dolemans instead of world bosses and they have reliably dropped tickets every time for me maybe give those a go?

Bradyfjord · December 2019

When I read Ripoff in the title I immediately thought we were going to have a chat about a Magic Mike event when ESO released the Bard's College.

Oh well.

It has happened to me once, during the New Life Event, in a WB fight. I got one or two hits in then I died because I forgot I didn't have any gear on (this was the Old Widow Silk boss just north of Alcaire Castle and I had just completed the Snowbear plunge and forgot to gear back up), and they killed her while I was in the refractory period before I could get any more damage in. I was not given the option to loot (the body wasn't highlighted for me; I figure because I didn't get enough damage in), so no tickets, but the game acted as though tickets were granted because I didn't get any tickets in any subsequent boss fights that day, either.

It's a glitch.
Do you realize how silly you sound when you make asinine conspiratorial statements accusing them of intentional malfeasance?

StormWylf · January 2020

Had the same problem with Boss kill event tickets, so I sent in a help request. The Elder Scrolls Online Team responded promptly and I received my tickets, See my post HERE.

No conspiracy, and Yes if your failure to receive tickets is legit, the ESO team will respond.

CiliPadi · January 2020

Yes the ESO support team is very good on this. Way back when the tickets was not a currency and the berries was an actual item, I bought a duplicate berry on an alt. Sent a ticket through and got back my 10 event tickets.

When they refuse to give you the lost tickets you did the activities for it becomes questionable. A glitch is one thing. Refusing to make good on flawed code on their end is another.
