I think it's interesting that they've spent years destroying any reason to have alts and now all of the sudden they are giving rewards for starting a new character. I'm still mad about AWA. I rage deleted all of my alts over it and now years later here we are. Whatever.

got 20 maxed out toons ,so i cant complete the 5 pursuits leveling part and this is unfair
not because i cant do the others but i started with 5 less no matter what i do
again some ppl are being punished for just play the game more than others......

I've already completed 10/20. Having a lot of fun, but I am the type of person that loves checking completed items off a list. I love this new feature. I did encounter the alchemy crafting bug. When I chose clothing instead I was able to craft the amount of items needed in one go. I also killed 2 delve bosses and got completion for 5.

I am confused. The tooltip says "Earn levels by gaining experience through combat, crafting, and much more."

I have gained levels on crafting on a level 3 character. This is not progressing the Pursuit for me.

It says "by ... crafting", not "in". It's talking about character levels (from turning in a crafting-related quest), not crafting skill line levels. I suppose one could say that it is slightly misleading since crafting itself will never directly produce character levels; crafting can level you only indirectly, via quests.

^ This, specifically, for example - there does not seem to be a way to ignore or dismiss this prompt without actually interacting with the golden pursuits.

Why has a means to disable/ignore/dismiss this (GUI design 101...) not been implemented?

Thanks for the feedback, @tincanman! If you could choose, what specific functionality would you like to see? Is it specifically the ability to toggle on/off in-game pop-up notifications?

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom the problem is that the notification does t go away. It still sits there at the bottom of the screen even after you claimed the reward. There is nothing left to claim and you still have big text on the bottom of your screen telling you to claim rewards.

The functionality we want is to not have text on our screen telling us to do something we’ve already done. The notifications should clear when the action has been taken.

The only loot I'm interested in is the Crown Crates. Get a few gems to help me buy something I'll actually use.

More currency in the rewards would be very welcome.

For the people that complain about being max level; you're not missing out on anything. Low level/newer players will have more issues with defeating 200 foes with class abilities, completing 3 trials or defeating 5 cycle bosses. Those will be easy peasy for you.

Would it be chill if CP counted towards the level pursuits as well? Sure. But besides that, this really is the wrong hill to die on. You have over a month to complete 20 of them. You'll be fine.

So I am penalized for already having reach 3600 and 20 characters and having stuck with ESO so long with time and money invested.

I am quite certain that someone with max CP and max characters would have no difficulty completing the other options available to you. Meanwhile, those leveling pursuits that are unavailable to you are accessible to the kinds of new players who would have difficulty accessing content like trials.

Accommodating a broad range of players means some pursuits will make no sense to you, just as there are pursuits that I'm sure you can easily do that would be quite inaccessible to a new player.

It isn’t about the ability to complete the other tasks.

Any player that doesn’t have 20 max level accounts has the ability to complete 20/30 pursuits. In other words they can choose to discard 10 of them. While a player with 20 characters maxed can only choose to disregard 5 of them. They must attain 80% completion from available tasks versus the 66%. Difficult for a new player to obtain is still obtainable, while for us these are physically impossible to obtain without a character reset.

Doesn’t matter how “accessible” the content and the ease of completing the other tasks may be,… veteran players with 20 character maxed out are in fact being penalized for having all their characters leveled. I don’t see any pursuits requiring a player to compete a dlc dungeon on hard mode with no deaths, while being at cp 1800+. I don’t see any pursuits requiring a player to complete the 4th arc in the infinite archive. None of the pursuits are locked behind ability to obtain … except those requiring an open character slot to complete.

So I sent a ticket asking about my issue with the pinned tasks on my HUD and I got a form response about Endeavors and that is SUPER frustrating to say the least. Nice to know my question wasn't even read by a person. Can anyone answer my question about how to see pinned Pursuits on the HUD? I am assuming by HUD that means the screen we see when we are playing the game and not in the actual Pursuits tab?

Mine shows under my active quest- do you have these hidden, and maybe that's why you can't see the pinned pursuit?
Otherwise, I have nothing else sorry!

Things I appreciated about this set of Golden Pursuits:
1. The ability to choose 20/30 tasks. Despite the fact that the lvling stuff was locked out for me, I still felt comfortable with the choices left. I say this as an average player who enjoys both PvE and PvP.
2. Most of the tasks were completed during my regular game play- crafting dailies on multiple toons, (for which I use my primary residence), doing fighter’s/mage’s guild dailies for my companions, doing pledges. I grumbled a bit about BGs, but since this helped to achieve the AP task, it wasn’t too tedious. Oh, and my daily IA runs contributed towards “kill with class abilities”. Just speaking for myself, it would have been hard for me to not complete the pursuits, especially in the given time limit.
3. Thank you for not locking out rewards once the requisite number of tasks were completed, this is unexpectedly thoughtful.
4. I like the rewards are nice. In particular, I really love that we can earn customized actions in game.

Things that made me grumpy:

The HUD issue that other players are complaining about. Please, please, do pay attention to those comments. In my particular case, the pinning and unpinning of tasks is extremely annoying, and buggy. I unpinned everything at the start, but tasks keep getting randomly pinned. On some toons, and not on others. Okay, fine. I tried to pin a particular task, but just zoning switched to another task. This is true for several different tasks and toons. I am definitely seeing a lot of folks talking about this in in-game chat, so please, ZOS, do consider reworking the pinning feature. It is well-meaning, I get it, it can be annoying for players to constantly check progress (especially for those who are also tracking endeavors), but it needs some more fine tuning.

Keep the fun coming!

I was worried about this at first, having max level character, but realised that you can still do it.

Really enjoy these Golden Pursuits, especially if there's a lot of variety of things to do. I like the rewards for this one in particular, furniture and mounts and styles/cosmetics are always welcome. Thank you!

I really wish the mount said more of a Frosty Fun vibe than Summer retro neon psychedelic 70’s black light vibe. You know several people signed off on this! Who thought this was a good idea?

The horse with four arms and swords and the black light bear make me think that ZOS is just making fun of their game, now.

I got the Shoal Bear today. woo! l like it, thank you.

I don't mind the pursuits themselves, but the fact that "activities" turns golden in my menu when I don't have any action to take is super irritating. It's like I have a little red dot showing there are text messages I need to read, but the dot doesn't go away when I read them. Maybe make it golden the first time a new campaign is launched, and then again if I have something to claim? Golden text the entire time - even after I've finished the campaign - is annoying.

As far as being able to turn things on or off... it could be handy to have that for a lot of things. The entire reason I haven't leveled Bastian to 20 is that I don't want to get his potion clutter in my inventory. The other companion perks are beneficial, but his potions are underwhelming (kind of fits with his whole vibe though) and I don't need more inventory work. I'm on PS5 so add-ons that keep things clean aren't an option.

Same general thought about things like guild text chat - I've left guilds that were otherwise great just because the chatter was overwhelming and there's no way to turn it off for a single guild. Or no way to turn off zone chat but leave guild chat on. So while I'm not irritated about the entire pursuit situation like tincanman, I do think some interface options could make people happy.

get Bastian's boon. Bastian's paladinesque moral objections meant I never use him for anything but his potions stack. wait until they make a full stack and then sell to npc for free gold. Honestly, I've never used a potion, potent or otherwise, except a runspeed one to help with the Alikr footrace activity. You can also see if players want to buy the potent potions. You'd be surprised what people will pay for.

Sharp's fishing boon is perhaps the most niche boon but hey, someday you'll appreciate it if you go for the fishing achievements. And seriously Bastian is an annoying boyscout who dislikes a lot of things. Where this new trend on the forum came from of being upset about free stuff is...mysterious to me but hey, you may find Bastian is a perfect fit.

Can we have a "Golden Buff" in each Golden Pursuit? Or at least the long ones.

A challange in the Golden Pursuit that gives you a small buff for XP, AP or Gold etc etc.

It would be more interacting with the Golden Pursuit if it was a challenge you can do repeatedly to get the buff for like 1 hour or 1 day? Depending on how big the buff is.

So after you complete the Golden Pursuit you can still do this Golden Buff challange to get like a small XP buff or anything nothing game changing.
