High Hrothgar festival mints & Sailor's grog no longer working

maboleth · August 2021

Chewing these would make your character icy cold and pure white. Not anymore. Nothing happens.

Just tested Sailor's warning festival grog - it used to make you drunk, greenish vision and loooong delayed voices.

Not working.

I had an alt with some High Hrothgar Mints still kicking around the bottom of his bag for no particular reason so I ate them to test, but as soon as I left my inventory screen after, whatever animation would or would not have played was canceled by his custom idle animation. The ground under him got frosty but he did not. Sorry that doesn't really confirm it one way or another, but for me it half worked even though I bungled it.
Still, if you're using a personality that might have a similar effect of canceling the animation for these consumables.

maboleth · August 2021

Still don't work, even with the latest patch.

No animation is shown on a char. Doesn't matter if using a personality or not.

Still neither of them are working and we are coming to the last feature patch before New Life so this is going to be a weird one.

Indeed... have you tested it on a PTS? @HowellQagan

Have you checked the expiration date printed on the bottom?

No, I can't be bothered to download the PTS client, but I doubt it's fixed if they didn't include it in the pts patch notes.

I'll include the bug report I just sent ingame not that it will amount to anything.

Ticket: 211004-003511

Sailor's Warning Festival Grog (112441) and High Hrothgar Festival Mints (112442) consumable items no longer work. They are available at event-related merchants during the New Life Festival.

Normally the Grog adds a post-processing effect of blur and green haze to the screen and makes every sfx play drawn out, while applying the Very Drunk (86740) effect to the player.
The Mints normally make the character turn into a semi-transparent ice statue with icy mist flowing from them with marks of ice appearing at their feet, and also applies the Very Cold (86794) status to the player.

Currently the Grog does nothing apart from applying the status effect (buff) and the Mints applies the status effect and the ice marks appear on the ground but no ice-statuesque transformation or flowing mist.

Thanks for that report Howell.

hmmm now that you mentioned.... xD

HowellQagan · October 2021

Update:

If you use the Grog and change zones (and load in quickly enough, entering outlaw refuges are best for testing this, probably), the effect applies for the remainder of the duration. So it's still there it just doesn't apply for whatever reason.

HowellQagan · November 2021

Still bugged.

HowellQagan · December 2021

Both of them still, guess it's not gonna get fixed for New Life, the event during which they can be acquired.
Nice.

maboleth · December 2021

As you see, nobody cares. I stopped to care too, it is what it is. Though, New Life is yet to come... but hardly see it as a last minute fix.

LurgidBean · December 2021

Unfortunate that this thread has been up since August, and now at the very end of the year, one of the unique items for New Life isn't working & nobody cares. I've made in-game bug reports too.

I used to buy a bunch & add them to my trades sometimes for something fun. Just disappointed that it doesn't matter to anyone at ZOS even at New Life.

Maybe @ZOS_Kevin can get something started and by next year's New Life we can get a fix, since 5 months notice was too short.

ZOS_Kevin · December 2021

Thanks for pinging me here, @LurgidBean. We’ll make note of this for the team now.

And the team will fix this asap.

I have reported this back in August... Numerous people did bug report in game too. You had months of time before the festival, but now you're like "making note to the team now".

HowellQagan · July 2022

Apparently this was fixed sometime ago. My guess is the High Isle patch.
