Motifs Sold Via Crown Store.

So on ESO live tonight it seems ZOS announced that Motifs would indeed eventually come to the Crown Store.

Sadly this reminds me much of SWTOR and what killed that game for me, all the important items you wanted were moved to the store instead of taking meaningful gameplay to achieve. :disappointed:

    I didn't watch, but did they say that all motifs would go on the store? Or were they talking about potentially adding exclusive motifs to the store?

    @nerevarine1138 it sounded like they would be new ones, not sure on too many details just that they were asked if they would be there and said yes they did plan on adding some.

    In that case, I don't see the issue. As long as the motifs are exclusive to the Crown Store, then it's squarely outside of the pay-to-skip-content category. If, however, they're putting things like Daedric on there, I'd have a bit more of a problem with it. That could seriously disrupt the in-game economy.

    The issue for me is I saw how this went with SWTOR. Content was becoming less worth doing because all the items you wanted were buy from the store only.

    Each item added to the crown store as an exclusive is one less item in the game to play for.

    That isn't what they said.

    They said there will be new motifs with the DLC. The DLC is on the Crown store. The Motifs are a PART of the DLC.

    This makes much more sense, and that is absolutely not a problem.

    Although it'll be interesting if people can buy those motifs at auction. Could make for some very pricey fashion.

    Yep. Thats what I got from it. Not them selling the motifs directly.

    Pretty sure this was addressed on Reddit, where they said motifs and any item made from them could be sold in ESO at large regardless if buyers did not have that DLC. And ESO+ subbers will have access to all DLC without spending crowns.

    By meaningful gameplay are we talking about logging in and out of inns?

    This is good. Hopefully the motifs in the DLC will be obtainable as quest rewards or drops from bosses, rather than requiring motif farming...

    Interesting, it seemed like the other way to me. Maybe my high temperature from this man flu is making me hallucinate as well. :disagree:

    Well if I am wrong then I put my hand up and say sorry for the misinformation.

    As long as the motifs on the store are available in game I don't care. Unique motifs on the store would indeed be an issue.

    That's not at all how I heard it. I heard that with the next DLC, new motifs will be available from the crown store.

    Short answer is DKs likely won't be seeing a ton of changes before we go live; this class is still quite powerful (as it should be being a tank), even after some of the adjustments we've made to other classes and abilities.

    DK IS NOT JUST A TANK CLASS. #PLAYTHEWAYYOUWANT

    LOL, what was "meaningful" about relog farming the banks? Because that was how I got all my motifs, including the purple ones, and it was BORING.

    The Imperial motif was sold for cash from day one, so I don't see the big deal.

    Seriously if they add motifs to the store itll further take away the sense of epicness when u see someone with it, and instead of thinking "that person got it from hard work" you'll just smell crown store long way.

    Whats so funny is that they claim its B2P, yet they keep on with the subscription option to make more money, along with the cash shop with F2P methods.

    This is correct. We are currently discussing having some motifs available as part of future DLC. Whether or not we will offer them by themselves has not yet been decided.

    If your group is bigger than 6 members gain 75% damage reduction.

    Write this on the back of your box and see how many sales you get!

    You won't get any new PvP players until this archaic AoE crap is fixed.
    I for one won't resub until:
    1.) You fix lag.
    2.) You remove AOE caps we voted against.
    3.) 12 months have passed (this is how long we've waited for you to 'get with it')[/b]
