    maybe its bugged again? i've done over 100 dungeon runs by now, and have not seen any weapon pages at all.

    like this, its impossible to farm 20 weapon-pages in 4 days. most likely you will get 4 pages at the end, from the purple boxes each.
    why are you doing an event, where it is not even possible to complete the styles? for the tickets you can get 2 more pages, but 6 of 20 is still [snip]

    You ran over 100 dungeons in less than 24 hours?

    PS2 - We get better rewards for delivering daily writs.

    Let me correct you. We get better rewards delivering A daily writ. 1 out of the 7.

    less than 12 hours... well, it was only FG1 normal for the blue boxes to get some weapons-motifs... but i think it doesnt matter for the content of the blue boxes if its nFG1 or vCoS... so yeah still doing it, stopped counting now but still no weapons.
    I think more and more it might be bugged...

    Because if you want them all you have to purchase the event ticket from the crown store. That's the future of events like this one from now on. You have to pay an already money flooded company.

    In other words the solution to this problem exists in the crown store. You just have to be willing to pay for it.

    I got one key, one plunder and two scalecaller motif pages (duplicates since I got them all in other events). Could be worse, could be better.

    Or like almost every other mmorpg that has yearly events you get the rewards over time. If those like you got all the rewards in 12 hours you can bet you would be here complaining about that.

    Some people are just miserable and need to complain its internet 101.

    Be thankful, I got a single Plunder

    Yup. Did 3 pledges with friends and got a single plunder each time (minus the purple daily container).

    On the plus side, dungeon finder worked well for the second and third queues.

    The rewards are insulting (I got a sole Crown Repair Kit in one box) but, from a personal perspective, it's getting me into group dungeons, which have their own interesting plunder, so there are additional benefits.

    I came on here to check because I thought it was a bug that I was only getting one undaunted plunder each time. I guess not. No point switching characters and grinding then. It's a real let-down after the pets and mounts of the previous events that's for sure.

    Yeah the fact they only made it 5 days and the reward drops or little to none after the first box is a slap to the face. I still think they should of just gifted everyone the styles as a sorry for the *** up or at least make it a 100% drop rate. But hey no one care about customer service anymore.

    Correction: Nobody cares about whiny, freeloaders who want everything free and cry all day on the forums.

    You are the vocal minority nobody cares what you have to say. You wont get stuff for free , you arent entitled to anything in this game, stop asking .

    You make half of a good point.

    Yes, it would be weird and excessive if we all got a slew of gold motifs every single time we ran a dungeon. No one should expect to acquire every motif by the end of this event.

    But there are MILES of territory between that and getting a single transmute crystal.

    For example, depending on how many you do per day, a reasonable drop rate might look something like 1 gold motif a day, a handful of low value items like transmute crystals, and maybe a couple of decent but not exciting things like plunder, riding lessons, etc.

    To clarify, since it apparently needs to be said, I don't think anyone is saying give us ALL THE THINGS for free on day one. What people are trying to say is the secondary blue loot boxes are not worth farming the event at all. I'm hearing people say this is a stress test, but where is the incentive to actually be in the GF for more than the bare minimum? After yesterday, all I plan to do is the one dungeon for my tickets and purple box, one per each of my 2 accounts, and then maybe a couple extra runs if friends want to try for something or we end up with people coming in late and missing when the rest of us run. But that is entirely about helping my friends out and has nothing to do with the event itself being worth my time. After day one, it is completely apparent that there is nothing more to aim for and no reason to chase the boxes.

    God, I thought this thread was going to be about... well, basically any daily in the game.

    I really am losing my enthusiasm for the game lately, and it's not the technical issues or the godawful combat changes that's sapping my will to play. It's the garbage drop rates on everything. It just feels like disrespect it's so bad at this point.

    So color me unshocked that the Undaunted reward boxes are crap. Of course they are. ZOS is married to the idea of horrid drop rates and crappy RNG-based rewards. It's a thing you do when you are bad,. It's a thing you avoid when you are good. And they can't not do it. It's getting harder and harder to look past the simple fact that ZOS is fundamentally incapable of NOT doing a thing that good designers wouldn't do.

    Its like they have an aversion to good ideas. xD

    LOL the community got what they complained about to get and are still complaining.

    Players were moaning like heck about how rare items, packs of mount skills, pets etc came from loot boxes and how it was "tempting kids to gamble" so ZOS removed most of them from loot boxes. Now you are all complaining those items are not available in loot boxes.

    Be careful what you wish for.

    Yes, people were furious on the forum that they were releasing opal items when they purchased them on the crown store. They really can't appeal to everyone.

    This is a good chance to see maybe you need seem help with gaming/life balance. If you find yourself unhappy and still logging on daily, something is off. Its time to unplug for a second. If you find yourself needing every single reskinned item and the world is falling apart because you are missing a chance for the purple poka dot and neon green plaid whatever, something is off. Its time to unplug for a moment. For real, people they are just spinning the color wheel for mounts and items. You think opal color is the end? What happens if someone misses a berry? Nothing, really nothing. They will be fine
