Why doesn't the quest limit increase as quests are added to the game? :(

This year two zones were introduced that added 7 new daily quests, but the maximum daily cap is still only 50 quests. It may seem like a small thing, but I'd really like to be able to do each zone at least ONCE a day. I don't like being forced to choose between missing out on crafting writs or missing out at a chance for collectibles. That's not even mentioning Cyrodiil, (which has 48 daily quests excluding the scouting/bounty boards), or Thieves Guild/Dark Brotherhood which both have repeatable daily quests.
If the limit can't be increased, can crafting writs at least not count?

Okay, well this is clearly geared towards people who do a lot of quests for collectibles and motifs, which you must not be if you haven't run into this issue. There are more daily quests than the limit allows.1 -

That's still quite a lot of playtime though, assuming you take 5 minutes for each it is over 4 hours to do all 50. I think it is fair.4 -

Wow. What an amazing, yet completely baseless assumption being made here.
Some people have multiple characters and anyone going for motifs and collectibles already has them from the old DLC zones so we could care less about those dailies unless they are tied to a current event. I know players who are rabid about getting the new motifs for themselves and selling them for gold who never run into the daily quest cap.
Heck, when I hit that limit it was when I was completing the Hero of Tamriel in Cyrodiil on my first character. I took it a little bit slower on subsequent characters. I expect a small percentage of the game gets that title.2 -

It doesn't take quite that much time if you are questing in groups, like my guild does.
But even still, it's not really about time, I just don't understand why it wouldn't rise proportionally as more content is added to the game. I'm not suggesting there should be NO limit, just that the cap should grow with the content.1 -

There's no such thing as "old dlc" when the playerbase grows all the time - just because you may have played years ago and already completing something doesnt meant everyone has.
And again, there are more dailies than the limit allows for, so either they're not doing all available quests or they are hitting and just not telling you because why would they?
And again, I'm not asking for no cap - I'm just saying as the content expands so should the restraints.1 -

Cloudtrader✭✭✭✭✭I think that it is a rarity to hit the repeatable quest cap of 50. But even if you want to do all of the repeatable quests you possibly can every day, I think that you technically can if you have enough alts. But if you want to do them on just one character, yeah, I can see why the cap would be a problem. I just don't think that it's a problem for most people.2

To each player, there is such a thing as old DLCs. They are the ones the player already finished. I also seriously doubt a new player is going to be focused on getting all the motifs really fast and ignore the stories and leveling their characters.
I could really care less about the limit but it is clearly not a huge issue. Heck, the only reason I posted a second time in this thread is that you falsely accused me of not having an interest in collectibles or motifs2 -

✭✭Played since the game come out on console and have 1960 cp and never hit the 50 a day limit. Also have to Hero of Tamriel title for 2/18 characters. Play multiple characters a day so maybe that why I never hit the limit.
I would suggest you change your behavior and do more than one character per day because it maybe awhile if ever that ZOS change the 50 a day limit. It’s a reasonable request but it’s far from the only reasonable request may to ZOS over the years that they have never changed or even responded to.

I do have other characters that I'm currently leveling, so that's not an issue. And I'm not saying this is a groundbreaking problem or anything, it just seems like an oversight.0 -

✭Serioulsy, as I always say ... I don't see why not.
It might me useless for a overwheming majority of players (me included, as I don't do that many quest), but that seem a trivially easy thing to change. Seems like it could even be increased without a restart of the servers.
So, yeah, if it can be usefull to some, I don't see why I'd argue againt it.
I'm all for it.1 -

Thank you lol.
Like I said, it's not a big deal..but why didnt they think of it?
For example my guild does world boss nights where we go around and clear wb quests for lowbies. Everyone picks up a quest and shares it with the group so everyone can do each one.
Well inevitably someone always ends up unable to participate halfway through because they can't pick up another quest. I know this is common because I've seen other guilds and groups in zones like Wrothgar do the exact same thing.
It's a small thing...but a thing lol.0 -
alainjbrennanb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭There will be reasons that zos wont say, why the limit is 50, it could be as simple as server load etc, when i was alpha test neverwinter (is probs the best example) i took every job from the job board and crashed the game/server, certain things are not ment to go above limits as they can cause issues to the character or gameMain character dk - Vanikifar whitestrike0

But there is already a mechanism in place that prevents you from holding too many quests at once, that is the journal limit.1 -

Presumably it's because the assumption is that as new daily quests are added people are less likely to do the old ones, given that for most people doing even the same half dozen quests each day is mind-numbingly tedious, let alone wanting to do more than fifty. That's not to criticise those who want to do more than 50 each day, but I doubt it's more than a comparative handful of players.1 -

✭All for the change if it helps but this is a very niche request that I can imagine only a small percent would even notice.
50 dailies in a DAY? That's nuts. Hats off to you0 -

This, its easier to just farm the very easy ones like crafting, prologe and cyrodil town quests on multiple alts.Since the game launched six and a half years go I have only hit the daily limit once and that was over five years ago.
Now the 25 quest limit is a bit low, not for standard quests but then you add Cyrodil and IC quests like kill players and and capture keeps and other dailies it take time to finish and might require an group so you want to keep and the 6 crafting dailies it get cramped.Grinding just make you go in circles.
Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.0 -
FlopsyPrince✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭I have never hit it, but I see no compelling reason for a daily quest limit.
I do wish I could sometimes have more quests, especially when crafting during an even that has lots of possible quests. That is a different issue though.PC

✭✭I’ve played this game since beta, and until now I had no idea there was a daily limit to the number of quests you can do. I only get to play a couple of hours most days, but one day a week I usually get to do a play session that lasts at least half of the day. Does that limit apply to just DAILY quests or ALL quests, such as main story quests, side quests, etc? If it would help some plays play the way they want to I’m all for ZOS raising the limit. And now I want to be a Hero of Tamriel too - I don’t think I’ve heard of that achievement before now! 🙂Edited by Elvenheart on November 8, 2020 11:58PM1 -

✭✭✭✭✭The limit probably exists as some sort of a brake on the economy and/or bots akin to the daily limit for Fencing stolen goods.
I don't see any particular harm in increasing it (or removing Writs from it at the very least) but it might not be as random or arbitrary as it seems at first blush.0 -

I think you get Hero of Tamriel for completing Cadwell's Gold + Cyrodiil objectives!
It is a cap on repeatable quests, including writs, scouting and bounties, sacraments, heists, Imp City and Cyrodiil quests, etc. The only exception appears to be Master Writs which you can complete endlessly (to my knowledge, but I could be wrong!)0
