I think each of these challenges should have a category. Easy, Medium and Veteran etc. If you reroll an Easy challenge it should give you another easy challenge. This rolling challenges to get a bit more Tome Points is not good in my opinion.

Agreed. I checked the Currencies tab before opening the Caches, where Tome Points are just listed among all the other non-expiring currencies, with no cap nor anything else to suggest that one might need to even consider that could possibly expire.

I would be happy with 10 transmutes regardless of difficulty per pledge.

The main reward is the keys, and with the amount dependent on the difficulty, no reason to double dip into transmute reward scaling.

I’m also gonna remind everyone that a Random Veteran Dungeon provides the same reward as a Random Normal Dungeon… I would like to see a minimum of 25 Transmutes for this.

While on the surface many would see this as a good idea, in the long run it would hurt the game overall. The RND's and Daily Pledges have already become a mess with speed runners and fake role queueing becoming the standard norm due to farming. Increase the vet pledge rewards to match or exceed that, and that same farming mentality wrecks vet content as well.

I'm not opposed to other methods to acquire transmutes, but I'd hate to see content I like ruined for it.

Yikes, opened all 12 of my caches as well within the first hour of the update. I didn't see any mention of expiration, or if only a bit would be carried over, that doesn't seem fair or make any sense. I bought a year of plus, you're telling me you're going to screw us over in 3 months because none of that was explained properly? All I've collected were the trade bars and that might be all I collect. I'm sitting at 21k points. Anyone successful with support putting those back into caches yet?

It's kind of weird they're doing it by full months since it's not how it's sold.

It should just go by what you purchased. You bought a 1-month sub? 1 token. You bought a year sub? 12 tokens. Why make it confusing and difficult?

It seems I'm FUBAR, because I've opened all my caches, including premium, AND already spent most points on collectibles, so I have 8 pages open and 1392 points left. This is day 2.

This info about max 2000 points saved should be on the welcoming page zero. Written with big red letters and flashing. Replace the info about DK and 2H changes if not enough place, we know them for 3 weeks already. Really critical info should be in priority, because it involves real money payments.

Do my points reset even if I purchase premium? Having a tome available doesn't make any sense if there are no points, right? Or every tome has its own unique points (they are not unique in my currency list though), and 2000 can be moved to the next, and others remain in the previous?

That countdown timer is not counting down to an expiration or reset. It's counting down to the addition of more challenges. The current challenges can sit and wait until you decide to get around to them.

At least, that's the impression I got from the livestreams. And from anecdotal experience from other season pass models. I could be mistaken.

They should just scrap the earn 20000 tome points to unlock all the pages, they already have the divide between free and premium unlocks, just let people earn the points towards unlocking the stuff they actually want from among the pages.

Should make no difference if someone wants to spend the first few hundred or thousand points they earn on page 1 or page 10 or the bonus pages, if they want a lot of stuff they are going to have to earn a lot of points if they only want a few things that should be there choice to make.

Why use those hubs if you have an official news page, https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/69599 ?
There is no delve boss mentioned in the news. Only delve daily quest.
Also the news page doesn't drop a bunch of ads on you, which is a plus, yes.

That's probably where the confusion is. They say, 'Delve daily' and people assume that means just killing the boss daily, but they are two different things. A "delve daily", involves accepting and completing a daily delve QUEST and has nothing to do with the delve boss at all.

Ohhhkay, yeah. THAT does in fact explain the delve issue. Thanks for setting me straight on that front.

Still not sure why some of the WB killings didn't drop a box.

There might be a cooldown, as someone previously mentioned.

I do not understand how this UI was allowed to hit the live service. It feels like a proof-of-concept mock-up of functionality with no attempt yet to integrate into the underlying game's visual and interaction principles.

There is much of the game's current visual direction that I have no problem with as elements of a game in general, but strongly dislike as elements of this game. (Exemplified by the visual pollution of the arcanist, new DK, and sparklefart mounts.) They may be well-designed game elements in isolation, but not for the context of this particular game (imhoe obviously).

This does not hold for the Tome UI however. Both the Tome and the Challenges panels feel very amateurish and unpolished as game UI in general, for any game. The whole thing feels reminiscent of the sub-€5-games on Steam by one guy with an interesting idea but insufficiently broad skills in execution.

Specifically for ESO,

• the visual design feels conflicting with the rest of the game -- especially the recent major 'simplification' overhaul;
• the functional design, how the UI 'works' and how the player interacts with the functionality and how the UI panels are integrated into the broader UI, feels disconnected from an mismatched to the rest of the game.

At minimum, it seems to me, the Challenges panel should be moved into the Group & Activity side panel where Golden Pursuits are and the previous Endeavours were.
