Can we get a fixed reset time of all the daily cooldowns?

Carbonised

This isn't the first post about this topic, and it will probably not be the last either, but some times you need to repeat good ideas until they get enough momentum to break through.

This year's Dremora skulls have exacerbated an already present issue, one that has also resurfaced with the undaunted daily rewards and the daily battleground reward.
The current reset of daily quests and rewards is an ugly mess. Some things, like daily rewards, reset at 1 in the night (EU time), the daily quests such as crafting dailies and others, reset some time in the early morning, 7 or 8 I believe depending on daylight saving or not, and many of the daily rewards, such as the undaunted reward, the battleground reward, the shadowy supplier, horse feeding, and now also Dremora skulls, are on a 20 hour cooldown from when you used them last. All in all, an utter mess, especially since there is no visualization of the dailies you have on cooldown, such as the Dremora skulls.

Ideally, all of this could be put on the exact same, fixed reset time. So at a specific time, either that of the daily rewards reset or the daily quests reset, everything would reset to a new day. Daily quests go on to the new day, and also daily rewards, such as the ones currently on a 20 hour cooldown.
The community has been asking for this several times now, and it's a quality of life improvement that would mean people can stop using addons or watches to track an ever increasing host of daily rewards and their 20 hour cooldown.

Some standardization for reset times would be nice.

idk

For both daily and weekly quests.

This sounds like a simple qol improvement to implement.
It should be a no-brainer....
Let's see!

Obligatory @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_RichLambert

Turelus

I would fully support ZOS moving to a unformed reset time for all daily content.

Would have to be a timer per server and finding one which isn't a problem between NA/ANZ timezone players would be an issue for the NA servers.

MajBludd

Yes please. I just said this last night regarding the witches festival dailies. Just make them reset at midnight.

Bevik

Hard to believe this not happened yet.

Tbh all we need is a good addon. Let Zenimax do more important (server-side) things....

SHADOW2KK

Agreed.

Add-ons are not really the answer for something like this. Console users can't get them and ZOS should be the ones providing this simple needed QOL improvement.

That comment deserves some serious downvoting.

What_In_Tarnation

Not only daily, I wish they can make weekly trials reset at the same time as well.

Nivzruo_ESO

Yesss, u got my vote.

ninibini

Yes please. It would remove a lot of confusion if everything with a daily or weekly reset, reset at the same time.
E.g. all dailies the same time as writs and pledges currently do. And the weekly trial coffers the same time as when the weekly leaderboard resets.

ezio45

also am not a fan of how dremora skulls reset, a fixed time. say with dailies and writs would be preferable @ZOS_GinaBruno

I pulled one late night to make sure i got everything for that day because I had to help someone irl and couldnt get on and not that now they all reset late in the evening. I know at least 2 more of my guild mates have complained about this aswell.

The undaunted event last yr was also like this and it was also a pain, id really like to see zos change this

Why complicate things like this? It is possible that there is some processing that is done during resets that they want to spread out. Or perhaps they noticed spikes in activity in the day change time and wanted to avoid everything spiking at the same time.

I assume there is a reason we just aren't privy to, but it is so annoying.Don't do cooldowns unless the game tells you how much time is remaining, like with research. This already sucks for hirelings, but at least there is a reason why it has to be that way to support the 2 a day passive.

Don't forget the horse training while you're at it.

DenniMyuu

And remove the daily quest cap while you're at it

How is moving all dailies to the same reset time complicating things? If anything, it's making it simpler. All dailies reset at x time in y time zone. Rather than a, b and c dailies resetting at x time, d daily resetting at y time, and e, f, g, h and i dailies resetting at z time.

Unless I completely misunderstood your comment, in which case, apologies.

At least the horse training tells you how much time you have to wait. And it isn't a limited time event tied to those stupid tickets.

yes, reset weekly at Monday daily reset, this is also close to standard maintenance time.
The demora rewards is an pain as its so many types and I do them on different characters.
An low level one does the group and public dungeons, delves and dolmens since she need this.
Do nMA on stamplar, trials and the world boss quest on various.

Well, 6am UTC, anyway. That's the normal reset timer.

NO. Just, no.

ZOS's answer when things go wrong is "disable addons." For this reason, and many others, this should be done server-side.

ZOS specifically coded these timers in. They can specifically code them to all reset at the same time each day. Like, midnight GMT.

That is literally in my post already.

I agree everything on a timer should have the same daily / weekly reset.

We should not need an appointment book to keep track of these things

That's one of the reasons basic UI functions are not in ESO when compared to other MMO's. ZOS has managed to push a lot of the UI and server stuff off to add-ons which in the end results in less development money going into the game. Many things would be in better shape today if players would stop making an add-ons for every game short coming and force ZOS to handle basic game functions themselves.

On the surface, this sounds like a good idea. However, having everyone's timers reset at the same time will create a login logjam around that same time.

What would be better is if everyone had their own reset time at some set time during the day. What time that is should not matter after the first day has passed. We could still login each day when we want to and everything would be reset, but we would not have a jam trying to login all at once.

current pledge reset timer is fine. or... current daily login reward timer. either one. no matter when the timer is set - everyone regardless of time zone will have 24 hours to do their daily content in. so honestly I don't care personaly if it ends up being in the afternoon or middle of the night, as long as its the same time every day (and every week for trials)

why would it? we already have bulk of the content reset at exactly the same time for everyone. pledges, daily writs and pretty much all the daily quests in every zone. and honestly, I'm not seeing much of a logjam a all.

having everyone reset at a different time on the other hand, means that people in different timezones will have trouble doing dailies together, especially pledges, since for one person it may have reset already, while the other person is still on old dailies.
