Thank you!

that Rooster sounds and looks awesome, happy to finally get an assistant that Launders so i do not need to go to an Outlaws Refuge anytime i pickpocket furnishings.

Yay pink weapons!

The extra money for only the corgi (as cute as it is) is a lot for a little, but better than the costume for Season 0. I wish Premium or Premium+ came with Crowns, as well, as the Tome Points you get aren't too much of an incentive, especially with them not rolling over to the next Season (with the 2k limit).

I would like a quest where Lady Laurent is turned into a corgi. Ty for considering.

Wish Pirharri the Smuggler would both launder and fence too.

Fischblut · July 2

I first saw the post about this upcoming tome on Reddit, and they have large image of the rooster as the preview - I actually laughed out loud thinking it's going to be a mount

That would be a must purchase just for the laughs. I love the black and green feathers combo, but blue breast was unnecessary addition for my taste. A bit of yellow highlights are acceptable.

The assistant who can both fence and launder sounds good... But I will wait for feedback from other people who buy it - if interacting with this assistant causes my character to dismount as well, I am staying with my trusty Pirharri - I can interact with her while sitting on my mount, the comfort of this is unbeatable

Plus, I still have to visit outlaw's refuge for the dailies.
Also, I think if Thieves Guild would still remain a paid DLC, Pirharri would get her functionality upgraded to laundering items too... But now she is free item

Hyena mount would be cool, if it was a new mount model. I like the muzzle details alot, but heavyweight model looks strange as Hyena.

Shiny weapons produce light on environment, leave nice trail of particles and have cool sound. But weapons from Season 0 tome had nice little sound when activated too - and it was removed, devaluing the purchase a bit

Sadly, I never recorded the sound from current weapons so I can't even show how they sounded, but in anticipation of removing another feature from cool weapon styles, here is how the upcoming weapons sounded on PTS:

Please, stop adding weapons with cool sound effects if you plan to remove those sounds later! Prior Thierric style got the sound greatly silenced after few years of being sold with loud sound effect; Whispers of Sithis weapons are bugged again this update, they lost some of their unique sounds again; Akatosh vs Alduin both weapon styles had their cool sounds removed and were never fixed as far as I know... This is depressing and shocking

So you finally managed to make Outlaw Refuges completely redundant with this new NPC that launders AND fences for no fee. Why? I love Outlaw Refuges. They contribute to immersion in this RPG. Just summon an NPC to do everything on the spot is breaking that immersion. What's next? The Banker Assistant being able to do Guild Trader Business? Better not give you any ideas.
I do like QoL implementation but only if it makes the game better. This trend that started with Pirharri not taking a fee comes full circle with the new Assistant. This is too much, in my opinion. The world needs to feel alive. Being able to do almost everything on the spot is just boring. I want to get out there and visit places, not just stand around, summon several assistants and be done.
At least implement a fee on this new assistant (and preferably on Pirharri again). People that don't like the Refuges for their business can still use them for all their services. They probalby won't mind the little fee they take for their services. These players want the concenience, they can spare a few coins. Let us other players who actually want to immerse in the world go to the Outlaw Refuges and don't let this feature be forgotten because there is a jack-of-all (criminal) trades NPC that does everything for you.

You still have other reasons to go to Outlaws Refuges.
- Remains-Silent, the Dark Brotherhood Shadowy Supplier.
- Achievement furnishings.
- some story quests, mostly in Hew's Bane and Daggerfall but some others too.
- Hew's Bane and Daggerfall refuges have the daily heists.
- Necrom Outlaws Refuge is useful for its entrance to the Necrom Underways to farm urns.
- Overland Fences can get rid of your bounty, Assistants cannot.

anyways i love not needing to go through a loading screen to Launder pickpocketed furnishings. Cannot wait for July 8.

- Remains Silent is a rather useless NPC in my opinion
- I don't do housing so furnishings don't interest me at all
- Story is played once or twice, then it loses the appeal
- Done all the heists I care to do but I give you that point
- That's not really something that has to do with Outlaw Refuges as a whole
- That is a valid point I did not think about but probably just a matter of time until an assistant will be able to do that too

I know I am probably in the minority with not liking that new assistant because it is just so convenient for players to do everything in an instant but to me that is just taking away RPG flavor.

Friendly counterpoint: I have Pirharri but I still prefer to go to refuges because of RP. I understand your points but I don't think it takes anything away to have more options available.

I like the idea of the new assistant but the implementation (neon-coloured talking rooster in a cowboy hat?) is so ludicrous that I have zero interest.

If they really wanted to sell this battlepass thing, they might want to consider having multiple variations of the biggest draw. Not just the ridiculous rooster but also some random humanoid in Thieves Guild armour? That would have made me want to buy it.

The solution is as simple as suggested many times before: Instead of listing different looking assistants they should switch to skins for them.
For many years I‘d like to have another vendor assistant but I‘m absolutely not willing to pay another 5k crowns for the visuals of an assistant that does exactly what my current assistant already does.

I would be fine with that if you get to select which you get by default. I would not like to buy this rooster then pay again to make it look like someone else.

Yeah, removing the skyrim sound from Time's Herald battle-axe was a fluffing travesty.

"ESO’s next Tamriel Tome will launch when Season One officially kicks off at 1PM ET next Wednesday, July 8, 2026, and will be available until October 21 at 10AM ET."

It's...like...the very first sentence of the article linked at the top of this page you are on...

If you are on a different time zone you can quickly do a time conversion in Google's search bar - just type "1pm et", It will do everything for you automatically...

Season 0 ended, I got my end of season window with claimed stuff, but no new Tome / Season available yet.

Very weird.

From the article:

ESO’s next Tamriel Tome will launch when Season One officially kicks off at 1PM ET next Wednesday, July 8, 2026

So I guess in 2.5 hours the new tome will be live?

Feedback for Content Release Announcements

In future content announcements and showcases, please format the content by date at the end of the article. By including content in an article that implies immediate availability that is not, in fact, immediately available, causes confusion and loss of confidence in the team.

https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/70123

Towards the top of this article, you did present this information by date in a helpful way, which is excellent. Further down, though, it gets a little muddied. It might help if when you put section headers, such as, "Sheogorath Story Questline," instead as the date and then a sub heading of Sheogorath Story Questline. Aproaching it this way should help players of all, or at least more, paths and brain types to understand and not be disappointed when they go looking for content in-game that is not in fact available yet.

The summary image for the season is also helpful, though!
