I think one place this could work is the final boss of a solo arena, with the cinematic kill being dependant on whatever weapon you were using, including werewolf or bone golem form. Even if the last hit was from a dot or aoe, as long as you're relatively near it could still play the animation since it's the end of the fight anyway. The trigger radius could be larger for ranged weapons, but it shouldn't teleport you over from the far end of the arena. There'd also need to be an option to turn it off so you don't have to watch the same animation over and over when farming.

No I didn’t and I don’t plan to.

I only pay for gameplay, but since that will be free going forward ESO is now in my ‘free to play’ games list. So other players are financing the game and upcoming content for me. So thank you to the people who do buy passes and crates.

I also wonder if they have a backup plan for if this system fails and doesn’t bring in enough money. They can’t change monetisation model for a 3rd time in 2 years. And there is no going back to big style chapter content drops without a long content drought because they changed their whole development pipelines for short term content drops.

The premium is nice, the plus is bad.

Yes the premium one with the bonus, though I found the wording misleading, it felt as though it was implying the mounts displayed were included not just the option to unlock them.

You’re missing one tab in your poll. I want to buy it, I really do, but I don’t have a clue what I’ll be buying. On top of that, players end up helping each other, because no one from the team comes in with clear answers.

I understand there are a lot of questions from players, and it must be a lot of work for the team to reply to all of them. But still… they created this mess again, not the players.

I don't know what a battle pass is, and I be bothered figuring out what ZoS mean. Battle pass sounds like a PVP thing.
Is this why some of the tome rewards are locked, even one that costs 0?
I still have crowns and crown gems as paid for currency. I thought this new system was supposed to be simpler???

I'm still waiting for them to fix the mess left behind by subclassing and the arcanist meta.
When I can go into endgame on my pure class stamwarden (and not needing to spam Rapid Strikes) without being a carry, then my wallet will open.

I've been here since beta. Pre-ordered the Collector's Edition of every single real-money major release, including the 2025 Content Pass despite not being entirely on board with ESO's announced new direction then. I'm keeping my ESO+, which has been an active subscription since the very beginning.

This is the first time in all those years that I have not purchased any version, top-tier or not, of ZOS's new content. And that turns out to have been the right move. The more I learn about the new Tomes system, the further I'm pushed away from wanting to engage in it, from the expiring points, to the bugged rewards they're expecting people to pay real money for, to the bugged challenges, to the stupidly random challenge selection and unfair point counts on rerolls, etc., etc., etc.

There's also just nothing I want. After all these years, I'm sitting on literally HUNDREDS of cosmetics and hours of playable content, some of which I haven't touched yet. I'm not even going to be actively farming Tome Points. What I get through normal gameplay will be carried over to the new season with ideally no input from me. If it's significantly over 2,000, I'll probably snag some bars of gold-pressed latinum Trade Bars or Seals to top me off and bring the carryover points below cap. But only because it would annoy me to lose something I darn well earned.

I understand this is all an experiment for ZOS right now. I'm open to engaging with the system if ZOS gets their ZISS ziss together and turns it into something I feel holds a real benefit for me to jump in. I was actually okay with the end of daily endeavors and daily login rewards...just don't get the impression ZOS hit the mark with their replacement. (Weekly endeavors I didn't mind too much because I didn't feel pushed to log in daily; I do still log in every day, but I like that it feels more on my own terms. The weekly/seasonal aspect of Tomes? I'm pretty fine with that!)
