Level rewards system is intrusive and immersion-breaking

Have to save Auridon from the Veiled Hesitance, have to get these daerdric wards down soon...OMG MY LEVEL 20 REWARDS ARE AVAILABLE! HOLD ON, AURIDON, GOTTA CLAIM MY FREE STUFFZ!!!
I'm not complaining about free stuff. It's that I'm being pestered at every level over these awards and my skill points and attribute points are being held hostage until I give in, stop whatever I'm doing, press F and go through the whole ridiculous pat-on-the-back nonsense. For every damn level. Great game design, ZOS.

PC-NA since 2015. Tired and unimpressed.

✭✭Yes, I really wish we could turn this new "feature" off and choose the old way to level up instead.7 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, he is complaining about that this gets in the way of gameplay, especially annoying during combat.23 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah, but you only have to do it to level 50, and then it's over forever for that character.
Plus, free stuff.
But yeah, it's slightly annoying to have a big dramatic announcement that you have level up rewards when you're in the middle of a fight. I hear ya. I've spent the past two days leveling a new character.

sittinhere✭✭Really? Complaining about the one line of text that barely takes up any screen space? More important things to worry about and I am pretty sure you can still save whatever you need to7

Ouch. C'mon now, folk are entitled to their opinions, no?
Based on the OP's photo, I'm not seeing it as intrusive either but this could maybe be handled via an option to suppress until you decided to look at your skills/atts?

✭That message is quite small IMO. I forget to hit "F" to claim my rewards and get my skill points.
I hit "C" instead and see nothing and then remember I have to claim them.
Old habits die hard but we'll all get used it to after a while.

It gets in the way of gameplay, it does not even bother to check, if F is key-bound to some other action - in my case that is draw/sheath weapon. And if I accidently get the reward screen up, it is blocking all motion and I can do nothing until I choose one of the gifts and press the claim button with mouse - it is really annoying and gets in the way, especially in combat.5 -

DMBCML✭✭✭No only that, but it's unclear if failing to click "claim" will cause you to miss out on everything in the rewards box.4 -

✭✭✭✭✭in morrowind single player game it worked perfectly when we chose to go to sleep.
forced a level up on us and we chose things to level up at that time.
because we CHOSE when it was when we would do this.
but here in eso, you keep Forcing things on us.
why?
and please take away from the CENTER of the screen all these messages! hate things being forced on me.
maybe put the massage on the bottom left of screen would be more appropriate.
and all the snares and slowing us as we are fighting is really getting old.1 -

"You do not share my opinion, therefore you must leave the conversation"

I'm console too but this made me LOL0 -
smacky✭✭✭Well I use a G602 Mous, and F is mapped as one of my side mouse keys.
All 5 of my attacks are on those keys, and when IU level up and go to use the 2nd attack (too far from an enemy) say at a dolmen, It activates this feature, so I find it pretty annoying.
I don't think anyone is complaining about free stuff. The OP actually pointed out that it is affecting his immersion in the gameplay.
Tell us we levelled up and next time we go rto the Character Screen, let us walk through it.
I can't imagine how peeved I would be if this happened during a dungeon. Everyone wait while I try to decide which costume looks better. Never mind the 2 people in your group running XP scrolls ....2 -

ESO has one of the most minimalistic and primitive ui from all of the MMOs of the market. Please don't complain because a little announcement.

✭✭✭✭✭I suppose the placement could be a bit more off the center of the screen? IDK I haven't leveled my new character yet and didn't test this portion of things on the PTS so I haven't got a feel for how intrusive it is.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

You are obviously selective about the portions of the thread you read, since I clearly stated it affects gameplay in my post.
It is not an "Announcement" it is an Interaction!1 -

✭✭✭✭✭Yeah compared to everything else that should be improved in the game (storage chest bug? Weapon swap bug?) this is a pressing problem. I mean, immershunz!!!!!

So you came here to rant ? If his comment bothers you don't reply and don't start a thread about this topic.
I haven't levelled a new character yet so not sure how annoying it is going to be. Visually, what has been posted in the OP isn't that bad. I am curious if it can be turned off or moved with add-ons such as Azurah, or even in the in-game settings menu.
Either way free stuff and as stated before your free stuff ends when you get to level 50 so all good with getting that prompt.Crown Crates are a trap. Don't fall for the gamble! Balance? What Balance? Balance, smellance.

It was just another fanboy, who isn't bothered, so we shouldn't be too comment - it adds nothing to the conversation.0 -

That is literally what is going on. He actually says "gotta claim my free stuffz." There is so much complaining about all the things that we just got from ZOS. There are actual problems with this game, let's keep focus on them before we start bitching about all our gifts.4 -
Pseron_Wyrd✭✭✭I completely agree. They need to return to the old system. Or, at the very least, make this new one toggleable.2

✭✭✭✭✭Don't worry. You only have to do this once. The second time you reach lvl50, you won't get these messages anymore (if I understand it correctly).This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.0
