Do we need to organise some sort of fundraiser for ZOS.

5 Tri-Restoration Potions.

Are you serious.

Aren't you excited for those 8 luminous inks?!? That's worth a whopping 2000 gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /s

I feel like after the ten year anniversary hype where the daily rewards actually mattered for a year- they were like, yep, that's good enough. Let's go back to not incentivizing logging in lmao

This is just...mystifying.

We all just got done reading end of year communication that said they understood and agreed that rewards need improvement this year.

And then, the first rewards of the year are the most low-key bland stuff I've ever seen from this feature.

This was a simple, easy, no-brainer opportunity to spice things up, even just a little bit, at no hard cost or significant time/resource investment.

It could have been as simple as "Our favorite Crown Crates from 2025" with a different (not currently on sale) 1x Crate on the 7th, 14th, 21st and 28th. Maybe go crazy and do 2 on the 28th. Or a different luxury furnishing from 2025 at the end of each week. It doesn't have to be a house or a DLC.

Yes, I know these are "free" rewards. And I know I can delete them (and I do). But it also feels like the first whiffed opportunity of 2026 when we're all crossing our fingers for 1/7.

The whole point of login rewards is to encourage logins. Encourage the chase of later-in-the-month shinies. This does not accomplish that. At all.

...sigh...

Yea idk what’s going on at ZOS man. Bummer after bummer

Another proof that the strategy of offering "better" itens changed from daily login rewards to golden pursuits.

This is a good month to skip so that you can trigger the Hero's Return when you want to come back. The Hero's Return has some better rewards than this month does. /S

I triggered the Hero's Return when I came back (have the xp scroll for it) but that was literally it. I never got anything else even though I know I should have. So I'm not sure what it's actually supposed to do.

There's a golden pursuit that goes alongside of it that you have to do get the various rewards. It has a variety of rewards to reintroduce you to the game and its systems. You get rewards for interacting with those systems. It also has a rather nice unique reward that unlocks all the wayshrines on a single map (single use).

The rewards at the end are not worth having to log in every day.

I am day one player. I am sitting on 92 k Telvar, 13million Ap and I just gave away 35 million in gold at the exchange and still have 40 million in gold.

My craft bag is worth 210 million according to Dolgubons and I have 1.5 k luminous inks and I don't even scribe.

Why would anything on the daily rewards tempt me to log in.

If you want to give me something useful, then I would like a pack of 100 "get out of stuck in combat" free cards.

I think Golden Pursuits now get some of the cosmetic rewards that daily rewards used to. Personally, I don't mind if they place the incentives wherever they attract the most players. But a Crate every now and then would sure be nice, even one of the old Crates.

For me this boils down to "If you're gonna do it, do it right".

The goal of a daily rewards system is to increase logins and drive metrics up. It's painfully clear that months like this will not drive logins. Who's going to go out of their way to log in 20+ days for 4 Rosin or 2,000 gold?

It doesn't have to be crazy valuable stuff, either. And old crown crate, maybe an exclusive skill style, a cute pet. Some LuxFurn from 6 months ago.

I'm just spitballing but what if Day #21 were an icon of a ticket and clicking it enters me into a drawing to win 10,000 crowns?

If this feature has outlived its usefulness, put it out of it's misery and direct folks to pursuits and endeavors because I think this is worse than not doing it at all. I think a large amount of people are going to look at that calendar and feel very underwhelmed.

And to do a month like this weeks after saying they know we want better in-game rewards and they agree (!) feels really tone-deaf. This was an opportunity for quick, low effort "See we're listening!" and they passed on it. Weird.

This is a really good point. Also, that drawing idea is a good one. Increasing interaction between devs and players.
