Events and Anniversary

wrrn519_ESO · April 21

Just a big "Thank you!!!!!" from all us players not intended on whining on every little detail about events and everything you have planned. You guys do a wonderful job and most of us playing, enjoy every bit of it. Great Job and we are excited for what is to come!

Nice to read, I thought it was another thread with style page whining.

Its great to earn these event boxes, I have played eso for years and during this event its the first time i get Aetheric cipher.

I'm okay with it myself - I'm in "picky/choosy" mode for the foreseeable future, having had a VERY stressful last month or so. Right now, I'm happy for the motifs I get which I don't yet know, and the rest of it can go hang, as I certainly do not NEED any more stress any time soon.

(I'm one of the "unaffected" so none of that wave of anguish made any dent in my stressing around other more important things.)

I agree and am rather baffled by the number of people who apparently hate to grind but decided to grind for all five limited style pages. Why? Wouldn’t it have made more sense to go for only the one or two styles you like best? Unless grinding for completing things is your thing, but then you wouldn’t be complaining.

I do think it would have been much better for ZOS to have made these style pages not be bind-on-pickup and also have a bound version available for tickets. It could have been for ten tickets. But given that they were available by RNG only, I don’t know why many players apparently made the event unenjoyable for themselves.

(Edited for clarity, hopefully.)

I need a doctor for the minor case of whiplash I got from reading those two paragraphs. 🤣

What do you mean? In case they seemed contradictory or simply didn’t make sense, I’ve edited to clarify, hopefully.

I've been pleased with the overall contents of my anniversary boxes. Transmutes, perfect roe, nirncrux, some new recipes and motifs, etc.

This is exactly how I feel. I grabbed Trueflame because it was easy, and was perfectly happy focusing on clearing geysers for the Ul'Vor staff as it was the only other style I really liked. I was having a fun and chilled out time grinding and listening to audiobooks/Netflix/etc before my account was locked, lol. I think a lot of folks need to reevaluate their relationship with the game if they feel like they are 1. actually forced to grind and 2. will do so until they are miserable.
