Why this Bonus Challenge reward is at 77% for almost 3-4 days? Did it fail? Is it some bug?

    What if I said there was never ever any target, and the percent bar was only ever marketing tactics....

    The bonus challenge was met and the High Isles event flowed right into the Explorer's Celebration which just ended this morning. During last Friday's ESO live, Gina mentioned that they had stopped updating the 77% bar so just ignore that. :)

    There were 6 days of Explorer's double rewards; started on the 11th I think, ended this morning at 10 EST IIRC.

    That specific bar is about Volcanic Vents in High Isle, not explorer double rewards. But it seems this stuff run its course almost unnoticed, I guess.

    The Bonus Challenge was for 100% completion of the Pathfinder thing in High Isle, which happened prior to the end of the Heroes of High Isle event on the 11th; the specific "bonus" was the Explorer's double gold and drops event from the 11th through this morning - the 77% was the percentage of vents completed; for each 25% complete, we got 2 days of Explorer's double gold and drops, so 6 days.

    ZOS was like "let's fail the bonus event to keep players believing that it's not rigged" ;)

    The trick is finding out what 100% actually is (or was in this case).

    The 77% was for the Explorers days, not the High Isle Pathfinder event, but in either case the players did not know what the 100% numerical target was.

    We never have known what the target number is. And I doubt it will ever be stated. Really doesn't matter to me. Others may feel differently of course.

    Well, let's say it was another ESO mystery and leave its solution to Mages Guild, all right? ;)

    The bonus progress bar was for shutting down volcanic vents, yes.

    But the progress bar was only good until the High Isle event ended and the Ecplorer's event began, which occurred last week on Tuesday, October 11, at 10 AM ET.

    So any volcanic vents that were shut down before then were counted in the progress bar, but any shut down after that cutoff did not count in the progress bar.

    Or just to make us mad thinking about its meaning...
