Are you a fan of the changes coming to daily rewards? Or did You want it to stay the old way?

So, I have been seeing and getting involved in a LOT of discourse over this topic since the change. And some people are very emotionally charged over it as well.
It seems there were many people who had no idea the change was coming, and were a lot more people who silently loved the old setup, who I was not aware of existing. Im quite shocked at the backlash.

For the last decade, the only times I really saw opinions about daily login rewards and endeavors. It was negative. Almost entirely. Things such as:
1. “This is not real gameplay.”
2. “None of these missions are unique or engaging.”
3. “These are just quick pointless chores.”
4. “The rewards are trash.”
5. “Im sick of this fomo mechanic.”
6. “I got sick of feeling obligated to play daily just to get the currency or I have to feel bad. So I quit.”


Etc etc.

Personally, I play just about every day at least a little. So it was never a huge deal for me. BUT I did find myself rooting for, and understanding the players who might be less able to play daily. Or don’t have that drive and want to play when it sounds fun, not because they “need to get that fix” of the valuable seals currency haha.
So I just want to get a temperature check here. How many people on this sub thought it was a good thing, which they enjoyed? And how many wanted it gone, asked for it to be gone, and are happy?
Or how many don’t care much either way?

Thanks! 💚

    I put neutral but I'm between I like it and I don't care as I said in the other thread. I am withholding my full judgement til we see how the full Tome system pans out because on pts we only got to playtest the first 3 pages which I found disappointing. I do think daily rewards were unhealthy for the game at times. I played before they were introduced in eso and them going away has not changed how I played the game. I did get pretty much every endeavor/daily reward barring things like me severely ill, my power going out, my internet going out, etc. A lot of the daily rewards were vendor trash for me. Seals of endeavors have gotten me several radiant apex mounts that are my favorites in the game. The parts of the old daily system I liked aren't going away and are getting more forgiving. My only concern is that the Tome overall value is equal or greater than what we had but I'm sure people will be number crunching once we can see the whole thing (which I appreciate).

    I definitely am happy about the changes, openly. But it doesn't mean you have to choose that option right?
    Both options are kinda meant to be descriptive strong takes based on common feedback.

    The second option is if people wished to keep the old 24 hour reward structure.

    A lot of people the last couple days have said they never minded and even enjoyed the 24 hour system, and like that you have to get on or miss out.

    And other people for years have said various versions of the 1st poll option.



    The options are intentionally written to display confident and strong positioning on one of the two decisions. OR the 3rd which is that people just simply don't care.

    -Edit- It does not seem possible. So unless a Mod can change it, it will not be anonymous. I don't think anyone is going to harass people for having the less popular opinion or something for this, but I guess I can't guarantee that,

    options are a little strong for my tastes. i'm personally somewhere between yes and indifferent. there was no fomo for me. only took a few mins to do (and usually while i was waiting for something else to load or something irl to be done), so it didn't have a huge impact on things outside the game either. but i do prefer being able to see what i need to do for the month and choose when i want to do it

    I'm waiting to see how the season passes work. I know we've had a mini preview version on the PTS but like login rewards and endeavours I expect the real version to change over time. It might be an improvement, it might be worse, or it might be basically the same thing with a different UI.

    I didn't mind login rewards once they stopped putting the best items right at the end of the month. I always missed at least a few days, sometimes a week or more and nothing ZOS could do would change that because I couldn't, and wouldn't want to, put a game ahead of travelling for work and to see my family. So I always missed some but it wasn't anything that mattered so I didn't feel pressured to go out of my way to get them. The only times it bothered me was early on when ZOS seemed to assume if they put a unique or valuable reward at the end we'd all cancel plans to be at home every day, which is clearly absurd. Even then it only bothered me because people in my guilds were talking about what "everyone" got and I kept having to explain I was staying quiet because I didn't get it. But like I said once they moved them earlier and stopped including unique items it wasn't a problem and I was indifferent to the system.

    I actually liked endeavours because again I never felt pressured to do ones I didn't want to, if I thought they were boring I'd just skip them, and sometimes it prompted me to do things I hasn't done in a while and would have fun with. I'm not a big PvP fan but don't mind the odd battleground match and endeavours were one thing that prompted me to play them.

    But that's the part which sounds like it's coming back rebranded as a season pass and with a cost attached if you want all the rewards. As I said it might be an improvement, depending on the tasks involved and scheduling, but I'm surprised so many people are acting like the situation we have now is the new normal and going to last forever. Even now they've thrown in a golden pursuit to make sure we have some sort of checklist to look at until the new system starts. Like endeavours I'll do those if I'm online and I feel like it and skip them if not, and I hope to be able to do the same with season passes, but I'm confused that some people are talking about it as if the game has removed all FOMO mechanics forever. (Also 3 of 4 topics I can find about it were started by the same person, so I'm not sure if it's lots of people having strong opinions or one very enthusiastic person prompting responses from people killing time on the forum.)

    Similar to OP, even if some of us "did not care" or played every day anyway so e were not impacted much. It does not stop us from listening to how many of our community were harmed by it, and thus also not want it so we can be healthier as a collective. That is why I am primarily happy its dead.
    not for me, for my fellow ESO players and friends who it stressed, caused sadness or even made them quit.

    This is true, I was actually just discussing this with someone yesterday.

    I think that normal, every day available tasks in game are in a whole different bracket and more of an acceptable game-play loop option.

    As to where, one time rewards you cannot get anywhere else or even buy for gold. Especially since said rewards are supposed to be an alternative to spending real $ for the cosmetics. Are what made that fomo mechanic so much worse and sinister & not "just a game play mechanic"

    There are pro's and cons to daily quests for example, that MMO's normalized long long ago. Though I believe Daily content such as those, actually does create gameplay longevity and has less of an addictive or directly financially tied consequence. That's just my 2 cents on it at least, but im not 100% either.

    I got ya, totally understandable. And kinda is a vote but ofc not one which I can track.

    But I was aiming to find answers from those who feel strongly and definitively about the subject like we have seen on all the various platforms. Because I was shocked at how many really had strong opinions about enjoying the punitive 24hr requirement. And because those players frequently were claiming that they were the majority, and that "no one asked for this." The most common trope in the ESO community sadly.

    Eh. It's resulted in 6% difference in "yes" votes, so it did bias the results. Doesn't matter when the poll is a landslide on one side. But in a closer poll, that's well above an acceptable margin of error and could have left the wrong impression. It just so happens that in this particular poll, it doesn't matter because people prefer the changes by a landslide in all the available polls.

    Which honestly I suspected would be the case (and also it's just a video game) and considered using jokey options myself. So, I had a similar internal debate as OP. And my poll would not have existed if not for OP in the first place because they had the good idea to make one on Reddit and post it here. So, I'm glad for the OP that we got some data to discussion no matter what.

    Indeed, and it's petty of OP to create options like this to insult those who liked aspects of daily login rewards.

    I already only logged in for daily rewards when there was something special I really wanted. It was a nice way to get cosmetics while not having to play artificially - all I had to do is log in and then I could quest, roleplay, or do housing as I want.

    Now it seems I'll have to do a list of chores for the same rewards, and I'm not interested.

    I'm waiting to see how the season passes work. I know we've had a mini preview version on the PTS but like login rewards and endeavours I expect the real version to change over time. It might be an improvement, it might be worse, or it might be basically the same thing with a different UI.

    I didn't mind login rewards once they stopped putting the best items right at the end of the month. I always missed at least a few days, sometimes a week or more and nothing ZOS could do would change that because I couldn't, and wouldn't want to, put a game ahead of travelling for work and to see my family. So I always missed some but it wasn't anything that mattered so I didn't feel pressured to go out of my way to get them. The only times it bothered me was early on when ZOS seemed to assume if they put a unique or valuable reward at the end we'd all cancel plans to be at home every day, which is clearly absurd. Even then it only bothered me because people in my guilds were talking about what "everyone" got and I kept having to explain I was staying quiet because I didn't get it. But like I said once they moved them earlier and stopped including unique items it wasn't a problem and I was indifferent to the system.

    I actually liked endeavours because again I never felt pressured to do ones I didn't want to, if I thought they were boring I'd just skip them, and sometimes it prompted me to do things I hasn't done in a while and would have fun with. I'm not a big PvP fan but don't mind the odd battleground match and endeavours were one thing that prompted me to play them.

    But that's the part which sounds like it's coming back rebranded as a season pass and with a cost attached if you want all the rewards. As I said it might be an improvement, depending on the tasks involved and scheduling, but I'm surprised so many people are acting like the situation we have now is the new normal and going to last forever. Even now they've thrown in a golden pursuit to make sure we have some sort of checklist to look at until the new system starts. Like endeavours I'll do those if I'm online and I feel like it and skip them if not, and I hope to be able to do the same with season passes, but I'm confused that some people are talking about it as if the game has removed all FOMO mechanics forever. (Also 3 of 4 topics I can find about it were started by the same person, so I'm not sure if it's lots of people having strong opinions or one very enthusiastic person prompting responses from people killing time on the forum.)

    I am also in the “wait and see” option that was not included. I fear that these changes will be like the call to end “formulaic and predictably boring” zones and we will end up getting the Seasons approach applied to Endeavors which is different but much less than we had before. It could also be more grindy but not everyday, just more effort overall to get rewards.

    NO! I miss the 24hr deadline to complete and collect my rewards
    See, I thought most of the daily rewards were pretty useless, and it would be nice to not feel like I have to do the daily and weekly endeavors, but I actually do miss them. And also, as a never-PvPer, the daily rewards were my only source of alliance points and Tel-Var, which allowed me to purchase dawn prism and hakeijo when needed. The golden pursuit doesn't offer these as rewards, though.

    You poisoned the well with your "FOMO deadline" wording but for me the daily endeavor was a reason to login. One less reason now.

    YES! They finally replaced the tedious fomo mechanic
    I did actually like daily rewards and endeavours tho I log on every day to do crafting anyway.

    But I do think it's good they're going away too. I have an alt account I used to collect the dailies on (but the endeavours only accidentally!) so I'll have a head start when I feel like achieving things again and haven't logged in to that all week. Granted it only saves me a minute but it's one less thing to worry about.

    Yes, it definitely feels strange right now. I'm weirdly missing the extra click when I start up. I'm enjoying the golden pursuits but still have to remind myself I don't need to check the endeavours. So I get why some people are upset and missing it.

    But it probably won't take too long to forget old habits and it's worth a little temporary discomfort for a little less fomo

    Oh hey Robert! Good to see you out of game haha

    I could see this perspective, but ive covered with previous people as well. It was intentional and based on the strongest versions of the opinions people have on the matter. Like I didnt want people hitting "yes" when it was closer to "Meh"
    I wanted the yes's to be emphatic and who resonate with the strongest negative takes, or strongest agreements with the 24 hour deadlines that they factually were.

    Hope that makes sense, might just be my weirdo brain.

    The golden pursuits are not the replacement, its just a temporary holding mech this one month. But next month the Tomes, I do believe will have more of that. But we will see. :)

    These poll options have quite the bias to them it feels, nor is it as simple as those responses.

    Indeed, and it's petty of OP to create options like this to insult those who liked aspects of daily login rewards.

    I already only logged in for daily rewards when there was something special I really wanted. It was a nice way to get cosmetics while not having to play artificially - all I had to do is log in and then I could quest, roleplay, or do housing as I want.

    Now it seems I'll have to do a list of chores for the same rewards, and I'm not interested.

    I don't believe I "insulted" people? I didn't call anyone any names or anything. Was it not a 24 hour deadline to gain the rewards? And the "YES" option is meant to be the option for people who felt strongly enough to be in that camp, and who shared these views for years.
