Re: Expiration for tome points and tome point caches?
This only means I will never upgrade the next tomes to Premium ever again. This first one was a mistake, maybe mine, maybe ZOS. But I will remember it.

Of course you can go back to check when you have started the queue. But for my tanks the queue is instant so I have no time to check.
Maybe I should lay off the skooma and hope my short term memory get's better.
Yes your coordination will suffer 😺

Re: [Poll] Did you purchased the new battle pass?
I bought it to enthusiastically embrace the new model. While the rewards aren’t bad, I regret my purchase because of the Tome Points expiration issue. I was forced to buy things with those points so they’re not wasted. They were useful items but I wouldn’t have bought them otherwise.
I’m not feeling endeared to the new system because of that and the UI, so I don’t know if I will purchase the next one.
It feels like overall this is just a monetized version of Endeavors. I would have preferred that system be improved and made more rewarding than this. Instead we have more layers of currencies and incentives and pressure. Doesn’t feel good.
Players have been asking for less FOMO and more rewards and it just doesn’t seem like they will accommodate that without mostly paid or time-limited solutions.
With their stated goal of strengthening the core game, I think they need to appreciate that quests aren’t the only solution. It’s strong, permanent systems with strong, permanent rewards.

Re: [Poll] Did you purchased the new battle pass?
I have zero interest on group content like Night Market. I really like ESO crafting, exploration, questing and pvp. When I first time left ESO it was when they added Craglorn and it was only for groups and I even could not research my last traits without joining some random groups.
This season is experimental and do not deserve to spend money yet for my liking. When they add the other parts, like solo dungeons, puzzle instances and even underwater exploration or increased difficulty I can consider buying battle pass depending on how much forced group content includes.
I still subbed ESO+ to support devs, as I really think they are trying to add content for every type of players, but simply and sadly this season has nothing to offer for me as a solo player.
It took 2 days for me to finnish weekly chalanges and I see now no reason to play for the reamaining 5 days till the reset as I have zero progression on the season. I will come and check when Vengeance campaign starts and hoping they will not have a gated content on gaining ranks as it is now on the season pass.

Re: [Poll] Did you purchased the new battle pass?
I did buy the regular one because I appreciate that they're trying something new and I wanted to support the game and give them a chance to follow through this year. I want to like what they're doing, I really do.
But, going forward the premium offerings would have to be quite a bit more interesting to entice me to pay again. There are a couple items of interest in the premium tier, but there's a scary amount of filler / junk in there. At least from the perspective of a long-term player.
They will also need to work out the bugs and rough edges of the tome system. It hasn't been a great roll-out. There are significant differences in points awarded between some of the tasks, and it feels too rng-based.
I got low-point tasks that are just tedious and boring, while others I know got high point tasks that are too difficult for them or not content that interests them. It seems like there is a limited variety of tasks. Re-rolls should not give you the same task again. Once again they have a system that heavily relies on their flawed rng foundation, where the results are absolutely not random and players regularly get stuck in repeating patterns.
Finally, having it so you have to repeat each task multiple times is boring. Standing there in a huge crowd waiting for the same boss to spawn over and over again so that it can melt in 3 seconds is the laziest, worst, unengaging "content". More re-rolls, more variety, more generic tasks and choices (like "kill any WB in these zones" as opposed to "kill a specific WB over and over").
And most of all, the actual content that's coming is going to have to be interesting and engaging, or this system is all for naught. I've always said, if I'm enjoying the game and actively playing it, and others are doing so and the vibe is lively and happy, I will spend. But I'm not going to force myself to repeat dry old content just to grind a tome when there's nothing new to do.
I am just not having fun at this time, and it's not great.

Can anyone at zos please tell me why this is? And why a support ticket I raised months ago anticipating this very issue was and remains completely ignored (useless ai non-response notwithstanding)?
This is hopelessly broken.
You my friend are from the future. How is doc doing?
Re: Three-Sided Deathmatch
In the absence of forum moderation, let's instead discuss this new forum meta of replying to yourself with multiple accounts. Moderately effective as a crude trolling technique, but is it politically viable? If anything their obfuscation may be delaying the return of 3s. Terrible signal to noise ratio. I could engage on even numbers in advance, but is it worth the risk?
