Speaking of things to automatically claim, what about the points after completing a challenge?

This on-screen alert with manual claim is constantly interrupting what people are doing. And what's perplexing from my point of view is that you had a perfectly good way of handling this with Endeavors. The current behavior, IMHO, is a major UX regression.

And, no, "there's an addon for that" is not the right answer; something like this really should be base-game. At least give people an option in the settings somewhere.

Initial first thought: please give a haircut to the Mohawk hair on top of the head

I agree with those who have been asking for an opt-out on the auto-claim.

I have thus far been buying everything (in the free tier) on each page so far because I figured the tome points would just disappear at the end of the season, but if they are being converted to gold, I would prefer to have a bit more gold (or whatever other currency) than to receive cosmetics I consider ugly and will never use.

Can we please get an opt-out to the auto claimer. I don't buy certain things for a reason and I would hate if that auto claimer buys stuff that I don't want.

New Repeat Functionality for Weekly Challenges

We're also introducing new functionality for the repeatability of our Weekly Challenges in Update 50. After you have unlocked the bonus pages of the current Season's Tamriel Tome (for Season Zero, the final two unnumbered pages that unlock with 20,000 Tome Points earned), the next weekly reset grants you something new: you can complete all your Weekly Challenges twice as many times.

I don't understand this addition. I mean, I understand how it works. I don't understand why it would be available only AFTER you unlock the bonus pages. If you've unlocked the bonus pages, you have enough tome points already to buy everything. Why would it help to be able to complete Challenges more often, and earn more more points you can't use? (except to convert to gold. I do get that)

Wouldn't it make sense to add this functionality much earlier in the Season? After page 2 or 4?

I haven't looked at the tome points needed for Premium stuff. If this math works better in Premium, fair enough. I can see how it would be really helpful if you have multiple Premium Tomes going, and can double up on Challenges and their points.

There are quite a bit more DLC dungeons than non-dlc dungeons so I feel like it makes logical sense for us to have TWO dlc dungeon Undaunted daily givers than just a singular one since it takes FOREVER for her to cycle through dungeons. This can also give us more transmutes and stuff WITHOUT taking away the work necessary to get them.

Even if they added some way to convert 2000 Tome Points into a Tome Cache, that would help a lot with rollover being lost.

This would alleviate the problem for sure, and can be a temporary workaround for them, but it's treating the symptom instead of curing the cause of the ailment. Their reasoning for capping rollover tome points is identical to their previous capping of event tickets, except now we''ll pay for the privilege of having earned currency removed. This is worse by the most basic metric.

Honestly, what difference does it make when a player is able to focus their time? Maybe a player can spend a bunch of time on season zero for irl reasons, but not as much on season 1. They would still be playing the same amount of time, it's just spread out differently. Knowing that there is less time for them in the next season, they plan ahead, earning every tome point they can, so they can still participate in the next season. Why prevent this?

I wish ZOS would stop veering down the road of limiting player choice, especially with regards to how they can invest their precious time. Wasn't that the goal of removing daily rewards?

But I really feel like you guys are over complicating this whole thing. All you have to do is let them carryover. That's it. It's pretty bewildering that you guys are going through a whole development effort to make an auto-claimer and gold conversion system, instead of just having a more generous rollover.

This right here. The only rational explanation is money grab, and that is not player friendly.

I agree that everyone should have equal reward points, but I disagree that the way to do that is a convoluted tiering of tasks that restricts choice.They already have a way of distinguishing difficulty with repeatability, they should just use that.

Pick a point value divisible by 2,3,4,5, and 6 and use that.

to make sure I understand, you mean like doing a few of a small task for minor vs doing a lot of the same task for a major?

I'm saying keep the challenges and assignments and rerolls like it is now, just adjust all the challenges to be worth the same.
Let's say 480 is a good target for a weekly all, then all weeklies are 480.

Defeat Sanctum Ophidia is a one and done challenge, it's worth 480.
Complete a trial is a do twice challenge, it's worth 240x2=480.
Complete a dungeon is a do 3 times challenge, it's worth 160x3=480.
Open a chest from a treasure map is a do 4 times challenge, it's worth 120x4=480.
Defeat Zymel Etitan or Zymel Kruz is a do 5 times challenge, it's worth 96x5=480.
Collect 15 Alchemical Ingredients is a do 6 times challenge, it's worth 80x6=480.

No matter what challenge you get, it is, in total, worth 480 points. This could be 420 or 540 or 600 as long as it's the same number for all challenges. Then rerolls are just about if you like the task, not about the points you get from it.

If I were designing this from scratch there are a whole lot of other things I would do differently, but they've chosen the path they like so I'm just working within their conception of how this should work and suggesting something that keeps everything the same, but fairer.
