Daily and Endeavors

AnnieK · March 5

Does anyone else feel less motivated to get on ESO every day? Really hope this feeling goes away soon. Keeping myself busy by deleting and rebuilding a few toons.

I don't. I log in as I normally do, can't speak for others though.

Maddjuju · March 5

Not so much 'less motivated' but more 'less stressed'. I was reaching a worn out point from feeling the need to log in everyday to do a set of chores. Being able to log into the game on my terms, I find I'm spending more time enjoying the game for what it is instead of it feeling like I'm clocking in for a job.

Also, since your question touches on whether or not others are logging in, here is what I see ingame.
Took these a few minutes ago.

About above pic, yes it's a train, but players are players.

No, but I never chased completing daily endeavors. I still log in daily to do the things I usually do

LunaFlora · March 5

i still log in nearly every day, because i enjoy playing the game.

Tra_Lalan · March 5

No, I still log every day.
It feels better to log in and realize that daily endavours are "already done" and I can get to other things that I want to do in game.
I used to do them every day, feels like there is one less task on my daily to do list.
And the golden pursuit allows me to get all those rewards at my own pace.

I may not log in every day without the daily stuff, but that's honestly a relief. It's nice to log in and not be confronted with a list of immediate chores to worry about. It's nice to jump right into an activity I actually feel like *doing* on a given day, while the golden pursuit (or battle pass) tasks can be done on my schedule. Quality time over quantity of time.

And honestly, there were often days when one or more of the pursuits would highlight something I don't love about eso, or annoy me to the point where all I'd do in eso was complete them and then go play something else.

I can even play some other games some days or you know... focus on real life... without this feeling that I'm missing out on something by not hopping on eso.

LootAllTheStuff · March 5

I never viewed the daily endeavours as "chores that must be done".

Usually, I do daily crafting on one character and then look to see what's on offer. If there were endeavours I could easily complete while doing something else, I'd go do the something else. After that, I'd look and see if any of the remaining ones could be done quickly and knock those out. But I generally wouldn't go out of my way to complete all of them unless I was this >< close to having enough seals for a motif or something else I wanted, and the clock was running down fast. Same with GPs - I never really understood why some people would grind as much of the list as possible on day 1.

The main thing I appreciate about the new system coming with the March update is that I can continue what I'm already doing, but with the added freedom of being able to spread things out more and work around IRL stuff that takes priority over ESO. (I know I know, shocking thought, that.)

Frayton · March 5

No bc I never logged in for the daily login reward or for endeavors. I usually just claimed the daily to get the popup out of my face and endeavors just happened during gameplay. I didn't go out of my way to do them.

I would say that I'm less stressed. Yesterday I forgot to log in because I was half day out from home. When I got back I was super sleepy and tired and without daily logging rewards I didn't had this feeling of being forced to log in just to clic 2-3 buttons.

Imagine how it was before those systems were introduced with the Summerset and Blackwood Chapter updates.

AnnieK · March 14

I've logged in a couple times but nothing like normal and my husband has quit completely. He says there is nothing left for him in the game but honestly we were having a ton of fun playing together every day until they stopped the endeavors. Then even though the majority of our time was running delves and public dungeons we both lost interest. Right now with the Golden completed for us and no event going on there just isn't a reason. I logged on to my DK but nothing new jumped out at me and since skills weren't reset maybe it hasn't changed yet....so that was a bust. Guess I will log on for a few and see what the weekend vendors have.

The dk has already changed. Skill respecs are free now that's why it wasn't done

I’m less stressed about my routine because I don’t have to juggle so much. The endeavors were nice, and did jumpstart my playing at times, but also became a distraction from other goals. I am still logging in daily and enjoying my time.

CatalinaWineMixer2 · March 14

I prefer not missing out on some kind of reward because I was unable to log in (daily rewards). This way, people will not miss out on rewards. Regarding Endeavors, I never really made any out of my way effort to do them. There are more important things for me to do in the game than worry about these every single day. The new system will allow people to still get the rewards, but on their own kind of schedule. And this time we can re-roll them to fit the types of gameplay we prefer (this is a welcome change).

SilverBride · March 14

I'm still logging in but it feels weird to not get a daily reward or do some endeavors. I miss them.

Thoriorz · March 14

I’m still in the game every day, I don’t always have time to play, but I always complete the daily writs on all my characters. And the fact that the “necessity” of doing endeavors task daily has disappeared is a good thing—I prefer to decide for myself when to do the tasks, so the future version of Tome, or the current GP system, is better for me. As for the daily login rewards, I wasn’t really interested in them even before they disappeared. Sometimes there was something nice, but in my case, most of the time it ended up in the trash.

AzuraFan · March 14

I don't miss them and I'm still logging in daily. But I'm taking a mini-break before Season 0 drops. I'm logging in, doing the crafting dailies, collecting the dragon chest, and logging right back out. It feels good to be able to do that for a few weeks without feeling like I'm missing out on anything.

ETA: I will participate in the Jester's Festival. It will be great to just do that and not feel like I have to do endeavors, as well.

thedocbwarren · March 14

I log in, craft, maybe run the guild daily, then logout and play modded Skyrim. Think I'll just do this now and then and participate in the Jesters. After who knows, modded Skyrim is a lot more fun for me right now.

I understand not everyone plays like me, but this whole thing has really surprises me. I can't believe people actually only logged in to get some poisons or something or felt the need to grind endeavors every single day. I'll tell you this though, if you liked endeavor chores, you're going to absolutely love the battle pass. That's what it will be. Daily chores for points to spend on things. Maybe even those poisons you're bummed about not getting. The seals will be there too. Not sure if you'll be buying them with battle pass currency but they will be there somewhere. So fear not.
