Golden Pursuits have disappeared

MidniteOwl1913 · December 1

So I got the first round of Golden Pursuits, with the golden Activity tab. I finished them got the reward. Then I waited for the next round. For over a week and then at some point, the Activity tab turned back to black and hasn't changed. Did I miss something? Was it one off? I thought these were going to be a regular thing (weekly I think I thought)...

They're random, could be as often as biweekly, could be once every six months.

Weird... But thanks for the info.

Is there a new Golden Pursuit?

I am sure they are waiting until I go away on vacation next week. 🙄

Nothing has been announced yet.

I expected them to be more regular.

I'm glad they are only occasional. I'd hate for them to become one right after another like events have become.

Sometimes less is more.

On the stream when they first talked about it, they specifically stated it is meant to be irregular, as regular tasks already exists (endeavors).

In the articles posted over last 30 days, it was also called out it was not meant to be “consecutive” cadence, but a random appearance.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s also unsurprising, as exact same thing exists in Fo76 it just has a different name.

Never did get 4/4 on that anyway - too much real life going on!

So get this - this is the fun part, which many of us complained about

This is a cool system! Happy it’s here! Feels good, good tangible rewards, no complaints. HOWEVER there can be WEEKS TO MONTHS between campaigns. Why may you ask? Because ZOS loves FOMO and why give us tangible rewards that are fun to chase on a regular basis when they could use fomo or charge for it? 🥲

Feels bad man. Cool system, poorly implemented, par for course for the past ~ 3-4 years

Well, it looks like we'll have another Golden Pursuit tomorrow. Seeing as this one lasts a while, I'm curious to see what activities we'll have to complete.

I think it's sporadic because giving away free stuff every single week would be insane. Plus, it's more exciting when one is announced.

And yeah, I do believe that without the delay between Golden Pursuits, then that would be considered FOMO. Imagine never getting to take a break from the game because you have to grind some objectives every week to get stuff that'll just go away once that week's Golden Pursuit is over!

If anything, Golden Pursuits as they are now serve to complement events, so they're not as demanding as a constant weekly system would be.

Man, I had completely forgotten about Golden Pursuits once they killed the nag popups.

Thanks for reminding me, I guess.
