A few people in my guild have 20k+ points and no desire for anything more in the current season.
So wait, they already unlocked all the pages and purchased everything they wanted and still have 20k points left? On day 1?
I thought the point was to give us activities and a reason to play at least 1 time a week the entire season. If people are finishing day 1, what's left for them for the season?
They used their Tome Cache from subscribing for a year. Opening all 12 caches will net you 24,000 tome points, plus whatever else came for free. The rest of the challenges throughout the season will only make this situation worse.
Unless they want everything though, they kinda wasted them. You can carry over 2000 points but after that, those unused points are ripped.
Yeah, that's exactly the point of my post.
The carry over limit is not as clear as it should be.
I missed it lol. I'm bad at that in print. You're right though. A lot of this isn't as clear as it could be for people. I've spent half my work day hiding from my mechanics to answer questions from guild members on discord.
Re: Tomes "Light Preview" is completely ineffective
I use the PC UI and I can preview them using R fine. HOWEVER, I still hate the "light preview". It's counterintuitive when everything else in the game is "R to preview" and this one has a mouse-over, especially when the mouse-over is completely ineffective for some things (packs with multiple items in it, the pop-up that shows the individual items covers my character).
The tome has a bit of disorientation problems in general though, like the book becoming slightly larger and then smaller again when flipping pages. I would've much rathered a flipping animation or no animation at all.
I wonder if it breaks when we change our keyboard mapping for gameplay. For me, I reassigned R to put away my weapon, normally not a problem, until now. I tried Y, which is another button that is occasionally used for preview for me, and that doesn't work either. What does R do by default?

Brand new type of content, the Jubilee Event (the best event and the one everyone takes part in) and the start of a bank holiday weekend ... what did ZOS expect to happen 
Re: PC EU Error 201 at login !

Two events back to back is expecting too much from the poor hamster!
This is the original hamster from launch 11 years ago... he's old and tired!

Re: I don't love the Tome UI
Agree, and like Emeratis, I also gave feedback on PTS. But the UI design didn't change much.
To say it as politely as I can, the design is aesthetically poor, and it lacks clarity. It made me wonder what happened behind the scenes, if this got offloaded to someone without Art/Design Director oversight or something.
Among other things:
Before I unlocked enough Tome Points, everything was grey with different locks on it, like this – the "PREMIUM" label is so close to the bottom row that I thought the bottom row were the premium items:
So I thought I'd be able to unlock the Duo Dynamo spider. But no, I guess it's impossible to get that without paying, even if you do manage to get ~10,000 points for it? Too bad.
Since we were given tester currencies on PTS and everything was much jankier there, none of that was really clear to me.
In happier news, at least it seems like the furnishings are all unbound? At least, in this set. Happy to see that, thanks for listening to that feedback (if this is due to feedback):

Re: Please revert dizzying swing nerf
What nerf???
Cast time reduced from .6 seconds to .5. I struggle to see how this is a nerf... maybe it's a berf... buff that people see as a nerf... I'm going with it.
Re: Sheogorath as a one-dimensional character
Unless he is summoned - though who would summon him - rereads the Cold Harbour Pact
https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Coldharbour_Compact
and Azura manifested herself through another I believe as well through a quest in ESO - or maybe she was summoned - I forget..
In Vvardenfell, Azura does that thing where she briefly takes over a mortal's body to deliver a message. In Stormhaven players communicate with her through her statue (and I think that happens in Grahtwood, too). I'm not clear how much of her exists in either the statue or when she takes over a mortal. It does seem like a bit of another run-around on the rules, though.
There is a random encounter in Solstice with an npc who was trying to summon the Prince of Madness but bit his tongue when he was doing the invocation, and instead summoned the Prince of Mathness--which to me seems like Sheogorath playing games--but that's at least one person who wanted to summon him. However, I would think if summoning them could get around the Compact, we'd have seen Dagon or Bal or one of the others by now--they have some devoted followers who surely would summon them if they could.
When you say Skooma Cat is considered an aspect of Sheogorath, what does that mean? Who considers it so? I was under the impression that Daedric Princes could assume whatever form they wished, so Sheogorath could be a cat if he wanted. If Skooma Cat is just an aspect of him, that wasn't clear to me when I did that quest.
It's a manifestation of a part of a deity in the mortal world, but not a full embodiment - limited power, possibly even limited knowledge/sentience. There's also a clear real-world inspiration, I think, but then I'll get a slap on my hand, as you know. I do think the Skooma Cat was refered to as an aspect somewhere in dialogue?
In any way, if the Coldharbor Compact is broken, I'd like to see the consequences. If it's not broken, I want to learn which means Sheogorath used, to do whatever he'd doing in the new story, so he doesn't break it.
I just want to see any lore explanation and possible consequences, and hope it won't just become one of these "deity tries to live amongs mortals but fails" comedy stories (there's dozens of movies about that, after all), with no deeper rooting in lore.
Ah, I probably just don't remember the dialogue about the aspect. I still think it's a cheatery way to get onto Nirn, though.
I do hope we learn how he manages it, whether it's an aspect or just an outright breaking of the rules. I also hope to find out how a prince sloughs off their power for something like this and why this particular prince didn't put it someplace where no one could get at it. So the basic premise of the quest has got me interested in experiencing it; we'll see how well I like it in the end.
Re: Bought Premium Tamruel Tome - been misled.
In the UK, companies are legally required to be transparent about what consumers are receiving for their money, covering both the description of goods/services and the total cost. This is enforced through a combination of consumer protection regulations and fair trading laws, primarily governed by the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPRs) and the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
There are many players who are unfamiliar with these types of battle pass systems, myself included. This is the only game that I play and the way these Tamriel Tomes have been advertised is misleading imo. It needs to be absolutely clear to every type of player wether you are a veteran gamer with lots of experience in many games or a completely brand new player in the gaming world.
