re: re-rolling.

Mine add up to 1995, so I got middling challenges, but I'm not going to re-roll them. I don't care enough. Nor am I in a hurry. But the Tome Points really, really should be equal for everyone, even after a re-roll. Adding Yet Another Gambling Opportunity is not cool.

To be clear, I like the re-roll option. Just not the "will I get a max TP challenge?" aspect of it.

Edit, I read your message wrong I think. You probably meant claiming your time points. Hard agree. Just give them to me.

Yes, that's what I meant. Claiming your tome points. For example, I was in a dungeon yesterday, and I had the "open 1 treasure chest" challenge, which I could complete 5 or 6 times. We opened a treasure chest and the message pops up on the screen. The rest of the pug is already running away. So I left it, and now I have this message across my screen while I'm in combat and running through the dungeon. So I decide to get rid of it. On the gamepad UI, I have to press Start to go into the tome. Then I have to press Y (I think) to claim the points and watch the points be added. Then I have to press B twice, I believe, to back out. Meanwhile the rest of the group has left me in the dust.

Two minutes later, we opened the second chest. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! Not again.

Please make it like endeavors used to be. Just add the points to the tome in the background.

Apart from that, I'm liking the tome, except that the tome points are skewed high for group and PvP challenges. That's not "play as you want," if "play as you want" means rewarding people equivalently for doing activities they enjoy. Instead, people are feeling like they have to keep rerolling until they get a high value challenge, which might be an activity they hate, but now they feel like they have to do it. That isn't good, and it penalizes players who really don't want to do those activities because they'll earn tome points at a slower rate and will never earn the maximum available for a tome. And some players are paying $$ for this.

Instead, ZOS should make it so that everyone earns the same number of total points from each set of weekly challenges. They can do this by adjusting the tome points rewarded, or setting up some rules up around rerolls, like you can have only 1 high-value challenge per week, or something like that. Or let players have multiple high-value challenges, but then they have a reduced number of challenges for that week. There's a lot of ways they could ensure that all players, regardless of what activities they enjoy, can earn the same number of points. It's not fair the way it's set up right now. If I was a purely solo player and didn't PvP, I'd wonder why I had to pay the same price for the premium tome if I wanted it, given that I can't earn tome points on the same level/rate as players who do enjoy those activities.

I understand this is ZOS's first tome, so maybe they didn't anticipate this, but there's no point having a range of challenges if players will always reroll to get the high value ones. And if this leadership is serious about "play as you want," they need to show it and not continue with the same old bias toward group/PvP play.

They can be bought with writ vouchers or tel var, they already have in game ways of being bought.

You can get chests for writ vouchers, tel var, and maybe alliance points. I might be misremembering the AP, though.
Certainly no reason to spend crowns on them.

100,000 and 200,000 telvar each! That's a bargain aint!

Honestly, writ vouchers are a much much faster and easier grind.

This week, Filer Ool will offer the following at the Infinite Archive:

The Tel Var Merchants will be offering the following at the Alliance Bases in the Imperial City Sewers:

Having to repeat the same mindless task over and over is boring. So very boring. The previous endevours were more interesting or at least quicker. I don't like the new system.

I play to *not* be bored.

I would love to be able to search Collections for a certain style and see all of them together versus having to click on each section.

I like these battle pass like systems. But i do have one complaint about.

For example. Some of the tasks requires you to defeat certain world bosses. Why it is a certain world boss? This type of task causes these certain boss locations being swarmed by players, sometimes getting loot from these bosses is near impossible, creating frustrating outcomes. This makes me wonder why tasks are so specific, instead of just defeating a world boss? This thing can also be said for the some other tasks.

I would love to see this sort of tasks, more broad, spreading players.

Defeat 30 world bosses, DLC bosses count double. Wandering bosses counts triple.
With this challenge, i can slowly progress it by doing dailies in the zones, or simply going to any world boss i want.

Complete 10 group dungeons, DLC dungeons counts double.
I can do this task by simply doing pledges everyday instead of spamming the same dungeon over and over again.

I can also say something about the new seasonal challenge added today, defeat 1000 foes in the zones that become base game this patch. I went to No Shira Citadel, there were more players then the actual mobs. So why not just 1000 foes or maybe 10000 foes but no restriction of specific location.

Any Tome Points in excess of that will be redeemed automatically on any unclaimed rewards from owned Tamriel Tomes, starting with the most recent one.

This is the first time I've seen "auto-redeeming." What? I'm not buying the Crown Meals because I don't WANT the Crown Meals . I have stacks I need to destroy already. But they'll end up cluttering my inventory anyway? Really?

We need more than an acknowledgement. We need our tome points restored back to our caches.

I completely agree. I was just sharing the information.

Totaly agree with you ... I dont want half of the crap on the tome pages....
