i really enjoy new life but the lack of new rewards other then a style page set left me feeling no desire to farm out close to 20 quests daily if love to see ton of new items and rewards for next year

    Yeah, the new quests seemed kinda pointless and I'm not sure why they were added. They gave players more opportunities for the boxes I guess, but it would have been better if they had just cleared up all the inventory fodder like the consumables which were made obsolete by mementos many years ago. They should really look into making their RNG loot logic smarter as well because a lot of 'rewards' within ESO just become cluttered annoyances after you have obtained them, and stuff you could use or sell like the rare recipes have become rarer than previous years.

    it would be awesome if New Life boxes dropped themed furnishings like Jubilee!

    As long as the furnishings aren’t bound I agree. I don’t want a bunch of bound furniture clogging up my vault/storage that I can’t give away or sell. But themed furnishings would be a nice addition. Like garlands and wreaths, rugs, stockings, etc.

    I just wanted to give a shout-out to the voice actors who reacted to the snowballs in the new Snowball quest.

    Very delightful and their reactions brought a little smile with their "Happy New Lifes".

    I think rewards need an overhaul though idk what they could do. It's quite obvious they wanna keep the lions share for the crown store. We need to figure out what's rewarding or good rewards to add. Costumes, even reskins. Hats, still love my eye patch all these years later. Dyes. Furnishings. Hell even like stuff we could put on our horse mounts. Make horses cool again. The knights in high isle have cool looking horse armor. Let's get some of that. When indiriks came out they were so cool. Come with a new modifiable mount that takes my previous suggestion. There's gotta be more than style pages and crafting mats.

    I didn't do any of the quests except the memorial one for the tickets. Throwing snowballs etc. seems more appropriate for the Jester's Festival.

    The Frost Atronach crates in particular, if anyone is curious. The memento is called The Everlasting Snowball. I have it and I like it better than the mud ball. I think that it's a shame that it's locked to crates.

    New quests were (are) good - nice to see that.

    Rewards once again need a massive overhaul. There are so many things that this game could give away as quest and event rewards, I find it incredible that we keep getting the same old same old.

    It's an even greater shame that emotes have been monetized like this as well.
