Last week, ESO opened the first page on the Tome of Dawn and Dusk with the launch of Season Zero. Since then, the development team has been paying close attention to the community’s reaction to the new reward system and has some information to share about Tamriel Tomes at the end of a Season.
Hi everyone, and welcome to an early discussion for the recent launch of Tamriel Tomes. It's been just over a week since its release, and we'd like to share some early thoughts, learnings, and planned updates. We've been reading your feedback, watching community-created videos, laughing at memes you've posted, looking at data, and joining you in Tamriel. (And we've been impressed, almost scarily impressed, with the speed at which many of you have descended into the Gold Coast, Hew's Bane, and Wrothgar to lay waste to foes for the new Seasonal Challenge that came online this week.) A small disclaimer before we begin: While we'll be talking about early updates and reactions to Tamriel Tomes today, we expect other parts of the system to take a bit longer to "breathe" and to fully understand how they've landed. Questions like:
"Is there enough variety for the Weekly Challenges?"
"Are certain Challenges unpopular and frequently re-rolled or avoided?"
"Does the pace of earning Tome Points feel right and rewarding?"
And others...
These are all examples of areas we are watching closely—both from feedback you all share with us and from mountains of data that we're diving into. We believe ESO is at its best when we take risks and evolve, and we'll continue to listen and improve upon what's worked well and what hasn't with the launch of Tamriel Tomes and Season Zero. With that, let's get into some of our early updates and learnings!
Tomes at the End of Season
One area that we've seen many questions on is what happens at the end of a Season and the transition to a new Season. Specifically, you all want to know more regarding the reward auto-claimer, the Tome Points roll-over cap, and how challenges work with multiple Tomes. We agree this should have been communicated better, and we would like to clarify how it works, why we've made these decisions, and tell you about a few future updates that we're currently discussing. Roll-Over Cap As the end of a Season transitions to the start of a new one, a maximum of 2,000 Tome Points roll over to the next Tamriel Tome. These Tome Points are available immediately and provide a head start into the new Season. One of our goals with Tamriel Tomes is supporting flexibility, including:
In how you can progress, whether you favor Weekly Challenges that are focused more on Crafting, prefer to earn Tome Points through besting others in Cyrodiil, want to team up with friends to conquer Group Dungeons or Trials, and more.
In the pacing of progressing the Tome, allowing Weekly Challenges to accumulate up to 12 and making select Seasonal Challenges remain available for long durations.
In how you obtain rewards. You may like all of a Tome’s offerings or only a select few, and so you can choose what you like as pages unlock automatically by doing Challenges.
The decisions we've made to support this flexibility open up many paths for you to accrue a considerable number of Tome Points that far exceed the number needed for all the rewards on a Tome. Because we want to give you the option of a head start
