    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

    Maybe they dont care about the few of you who complain about everything on the forums.

    I am glad they dont listen to every tear you guys shed as 99.99% are ingame and never step foot in your little safe space of tears.

    Yes, because rng with a 1 percent drop rate or less is such a good idea that EVERYONE wants. How people just white knight major corporations with shady practices is just hilarious.

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

    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.
    Irony?

    Go ahead and ask anyone about their opinion about how rng has progressively gotten more and more grindy, no one will say " oh i think its a good idea to make this game even more rng based " I have been fishing every day for months now and havent gotten a single perfect roe. Not one. Hundreds of fish, nothing, but yeah, totally healthy for the game.

    Your fact is about as true as the flat earth theory.

    By defending the choice to put awful rng on everything, you are defending zos.

    Forums complainers are always screaming at the Developers. Bold, italics and !!!! are not required.

    99% of those on this thread going off about the rewards also voted the GF would last 2 hours or less. They then hyped the impending doom of the GF for days. They have so much egg on their face they are desperately trying to get this to stick. It's the exact same people. After this they will find something else to complain about. It's all they got.

    There will be no bolding or italics but they will still be screaming at ZOS just like you.

    To be fair, my personal expectation of the GF not lasting long had to do with how it was behaving the couple of days prior to the event, it was struggling quite a bit and not popping even fully formed 4 mans into dungeons there for a bit. You can say that we are just complaining for the sake of complaining, and thats fine, believe whatever makes you happy I don't really care since I have no idea who you even are. I'm just not going to blindly look at ZOS with starry eyes and think all is right in the world if I think something doesn't make sense, its just feedback. I'm not trying to be rude, but I have just as much of a right as you do to come here and voice my opinions on things. But I at least try to not be all personally attacky at random other forum users.

    Great point, so if that's a test, why not do it on the same parameters and conditions?

    It's like doing a sound check on one stage, then doing the actual concert on a stage much larger. Totally pointless, wouldn't everyone agree?

    That's fair and I'm not attacking anyone personally cause I also dont know any of you. I'm stating you guys go from one complaint to the other. I'm stating my opinion based on facts and information on this forum that is all. Nothing personal purely my opinion.

    Dont take it personal that I think if the GF would have went to hell you and rest here would be on that thread complaining. But since it didnt you are now here. After this event the same ones will find something else.

    Again nothing i say is a personal attack. I strongly believe those who bounce from complaint to complaint and demand anyone who disagrees leave or be called white knights are toxic and do nothing to support the game or make improvements.

    There is a lot this game can do better and there are many complain threads i stay out of cause they are legit. In my opinion the only reason this topic is here is because the GF is working.

    I got a treasure map in one, super awesome :/

    I got a survey in each of my normal boxes yesterday - plus one in the hefty box to go with the opal style page. Woo? I've got surveys galore because I do crafting writs. And surveys - I've got tons of those still left from farming dragons.

    How about the rewards AT LEAST contain things related to the Undaunted (crystals, keys, plunder, motif pages) and not things that you can easily get elsewhere. Outside of the opal page (which I sold) there wasn't anything I got for doing dungeons yesterday (outside of the usual loot you get from the dungeons and from completing pledges) that I couldn't have gotten doing crafting dailies. Well, there's also the tickets, but since I'm not interested in any more indriks or the opal pages, there isn't anything for me to use them on at the moment.

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

    Other games' yearly events don't decrease the rewards given. It either stays the same and they offer the same each year, or they offer the same as the last year's events + new year event rewards.

    This is the only one I'm aware of where the "yearly event" is dropping less and less loot.

    Perhaps it is bugged - but the undaunted box-events WERE dropping 3-4-5 random things each time last two events (last two undaunted events). Even if it was 3 pieces of crap, it was still more than a single item in a box.

    This "one thing in a box" is either a bug or a stealth nerf to the rewards. Because no, every other Undaunted event in the last couple of years had multiple drops in each box.

    I dont even mean "Motif page" drop rate going down or not - the ones tied to the tickets/crown store. Yes they are suppose to be more rare than the other rewards. I'll buy that and maybe chalk up "nothing in 100 runs" to bad luck on the RNG cuz RNG is RNG.

    I mean ANY REWARD from the box. Cuz why I buy the logic of, "the motifs are suppose to be rare" I don't buy the, "Well they decided 25 transmute crystals, a tier 10 crafting resource, and a treasure map was just giving too much away so now you get a single map."

    No. They're either purposefully making this less rewarding for no other reason than hoping it makes people spend more money - or its a bug. But it isn't, "You should be happy to get a single crystal cuz that's how this works."

    No. That's the point. That is NOT how THIS game has worked with these event boxes in the last two years. That's NOT how the event boxes worked at the last 2 Undaunted events (I was definitely in both of those, can't speak about the rest). Which is WHY its so noticeable.

    One step forward, three steps back. Yes, it was really awesome that we got so many tickets and that players had a chance to get berries they might have missed. And it was to make up for the fact that they had to cancel the Undaunted Event.

    But that doesn't excuse them from putting such lousy rewards in the Undaunted reward boxes. It's not okay to crap on your players most of the year if every once in a while you offer a decent reward or do something extra to make up for mistakes.

    Give me a break the everyone is out to get you mentality isnt going to get you anywhere. Not in real life or on a video game.

    This is a prime example why most game developers have stopped listening to the forums. People like this will NEVER be happy and will always think the devs are out to get them.

    It's really concerning to me how many of you are mixing up valid concerns about factual differences in rewards over time with entitlement. Those are entirely two different things and it's almost like you're doing it on purpose to ignore the actual topic at hand.
    No. That's the point. That is NOT how THIS game has worked with these event boxes in the last two years. That's NOT how the event boxes worked at the last 2 Undaunted events (I was definitely in both of those, can't speak about the rest). Which is WHY its so noticeable.

    I agree with this 100%. The rewards have been nerfed from what they have been the previous years - and no, I'm not talking about the opal style pages. Those are irrelevant. Specifically the issue is the blue undaunted boxes, the 1 single (usually trash) reward inside, and how this was not the norm for this game last year.

    Lol - people love throwing around that word, don't they - entitlement. Entitlement is saying you should just get things, for doing nothing - no other reason than that you exist.

    What many of us are trying to say, amidst all the noise, name-calling, and trolling, is that these rewards for this event are lackluster. I think ZOS needs to hear that. If players are saying that these rewards aren't enough for them to participate in this event other than the one run to get their tickets and opal page, then I think it's something ZOS should address in the future.

    I guess some people just like free stuff, no matter what it is, and will take it regardless of whether they actually want it just because it's free, and say that everyone should just be grateful for this free whatever crap it is and not say that it could be better.

    No, ZOS don't have to give us any rewards at all. But ZOS has chosen to do events and offer rewards. That's their choice. What we are saying is that these rewards are lackluster. I suggest that in future, if they really want to have players participate more fully in this event (or any event), especially if it's one that they're wanting to stress test some system, then the rewards should be rewarding.

    Now, what I'm talking about in terms of improving the rewards is simply that each box have 2 guaranteed items. The first could be Undaunted related and either a crystal, key, or plunder. Then, the second item could be a map, survey, repair kit, etc. with a motif page as a rarer reward in that slot. Then, the still ultra-rare (it seems) chance of an opal style page.

    I had thought that I was going to do a fair number of runs during the weekend, but based on what I've gotten so far, I'll just be running one dungeon for the tickets and opal page. It is what it is, but I think trying to squelch this kind of feedback that ZOS should hear by labeling it as entitlement is non-constructive. If you feel that the rewards are satisfying and you'll be running lots of dungeons for treasure maps and crafting surveys, then great - say so. But don't just bash everyone who feels differently. Complaining about complainers is still complaining.

    Greetings,

    We've closed this thread due to this non-constructive and baiting nature. Please remember it’s okay and very normal to disagree with others, and even to debate, but provoking conflict, baiting, inciting, mocking, etc. is never acceptable in the official The Elder Scrolls Online community.
