ESO+ Section of the Crown Store

Gidorick

ESO+ members should have an exclusive section of the crown store from which only they can purchase, but everyone can browse. In this store we would have items such as:

• Crafting Bags which should be individual bag inventory items that can be opened to hold all crafting materials for one craft... As described in THIS thread.
• Early access to limited time items such as the Cinematic Costumes. ESO+ members could have gained access to the Nord costume a week earlier than everyone else.
• Faster Rotation of limited time items. Putting an item that was offered for a limited time back up in the ESO+ section. Like if the Zombie Horse were offered in April for ESO+ members and perhaps for everyone again in October.
• Exclusive pet variations such as a different colors or patterns on pets that are offered to everyone in the Crown Store.

Features such as these would make ESO+ quite a bit more enticing for all players. What are some of the things you would think would be a good fit for an ESO+ section of the Crown Store? Do you disagree that this would be an effective incentive to subscribe to ESO+?

They've already announced this is coming. =3

Sounds good. Another option could be "Transmorgifcation", for lack of a better word. Basically buying this will give you 5 transmorgifcation stones. You use them to change any armour or weapon piece into whatever style you want. There are some requirements however:

- The character transforming the piece MUST know that style for the specific item you want to change
- You must have the style mat on you, and will be consumed on use

So you dropped that nice Arch-Mage piece you were looking for and want it to be Xivkyn? No worries. Think kena hat and shoulder piece look disgusting? Be sick no more!

The exact WAY they are going to be implemented is unknown @Preyfar. The Crafting "Bag" could just be a tab in the inventory that you can't use unless your an ESO+ member... I would prefer them to be bags that take up one inventory slot that we can open up. We could be required to buy them from an ESO+ section of the Crown Store. This would mean they are "exclusively available" to ESO+ members but you're not restricted from that inventory if you un-sub.

Check out that thread I posted in the OP to see my more detailed explanation.

To be honest....I'd just like the regular ESO Plus to work correctly on Xbox One.

Nothing wrong with your suggestions but ZOS can't seem to get most things to work as intended. I have little faith in changes or additions.

I'm unsubbing today but if they implement any new features for ESO+ I'll be back

lol. point taken. Have you moved over to Xbox One @NewBlacksmurf ? I tried to move over to PS4 but I missed the couple of addons that I use (Advanced Filters is SOOO good!)

Was he not always on Xbox?

I have pretty much been begging ZOS for new ESO+ features for the past year @Cazzy . I unsubbed and I WANT to re-sub but without more features I just don't have a reason to.

All sounds good to me, any reason to join is a good one. As it is now, I did it for one month, and realized it was a big waste of money.

Yep I did the copy waay back.

Naw, he's an old hat @Cazzy. @NewBlacksmurf has been on these forums for as long as I can remember. I hadn't realized he moved over to Xbox.

No, I began on PC back in 2013 closed BETA

I still play PTS on PC and primarily on Xbox One for normal

My guess how that will be implemented and might be of limited use then is that they just make crafting items not count in regards to slots taken - and this just in the character inventory and not the bank, because they still want to sell bank slots. Which make the whole thing pretty much useless, because I keep all the crafting mats in the bank so that all my characters can share them and work together on keeping enough stuff available. So what i really would prefer is when those crafting mats do not count against the slot count in both character inventory and bank inventory - but I guess the later will not happen and then I will unsubscribe again, because I just do not need such a useless feature and am not willing to pay sub for it.

Cazzy

Ahh good call

Eso plus members should have a game that works first before all this fancy stuff and yes I'm a Eso plus member before you ask

Spacemonkey

How about Unbinding-Scrolls to allow us to unbind equipment and trade it. A privilege to ESO+ subs. It wont break the market all that much because we can't just unbind stuff for others, we actually need to have the stuff first (I'm sure some are going to start hyper grinding just to attempt to break market - I don't think it'll make that big of an impact) . However with that, at least there will be a possibility (however slim) for people unlucky with RNG to get the gear they want.

Just when I was thinking about unsubscribing... Cannot wait for this. Does anyone know if it will automatically be a perk for subscribing? Or if we will still have to pay crowns to get it after the sub?

I also like this idea =]

Edit: Although that would be tricky if someone unsubscribed.. would the pet then just revert to the standard skin? Hmm.

Well those are different teams and divisions which are working in parallel on the game - some are good, some are mediocre and some are really bad. Like all the landscape design and such is awesome for an MMO, those teams working on this part do a pretty good job. But those working on cash shop items are of a different kind and so their "artwork" lacks dedication. Those working on game mechanics seem to not have much experience with what effects certain features have on lag or they would have designed them in a different way - it is basically the fault of these guys, that Cyrrodil is that laggy, because their game mechanics make people form zergs which are technically a desaster with server effort scaling with the factorial of the amount of players in such a zerg - this should be top priority to fix the GAME MECHANICS, because this is not an actual technical problem. but a game design flaw which promotes player behavior which then leads to massive server load and lag.

We don't know how the crafting bags will work @illusionistik I personally would like it if ESO+ members have access to buy the bags for crowns and retain FULL access to the bags if they unsub.

Some players just don't understand that the server guys aren't the same guys that handle the crown store stuff who probably aren't even the same guys who handle the ESO+ stuff.

They just said it will be exclusive for ESO+ member and will not be limited in the amount of crafting material it can hold - but shis can turn out bad or good, it depends on the actual implementation. And when you think of it, it does not even say that ESO+ members will get this as an unlocked perk, they just said it will be exclusive for ESO+ members, it could as well be a cash shop item, just available for ESO+ members. We will have to wait and see, I guess.

and THIS is what I am actually hoping it is @Lysette . I think that would be better for players & for ZOS in the long-term.

If crafting bags was all I got I would be pumped!

If they implemented an ESO+ only section to the Crown Store, it MIGHT tempt me to stay subbed. However, after being a monthly subscriber since early access on PC (I've since transferred to the XB), I'm canceling my sub prior to my 2/15 renewal date.

Why, well, as @NewBlacksmurf already mentioned, ESO+ doesn't always work on XB. I was a victim of the "no monthly Crowns" issue for several months in a row. That was fixed, at least for me, and they gave me an additional 4500 Crowns for those months as well as an additional 1500 Crowns. However, I lose my ESO+ in-game benefits and access to the DLC from time to time.

It happened again a few days ago, which finally pushed me to decide on canceling my membership. I've already purchased Orsinium, and will check out future DLC on the PTS to help me decide which DLC to purchase in future. And, I can get Crowns at cheaper price points than the monthly sub. The in-game benefits are nice, but frankly not enough to keep subbing.

This might ruffle some feathers, but I think some exclusive mounts/costumes would be a nice addition. But then, I guess people would just sub that month to get the exclusive item and then unsub, unless you lose access to those items when not an ESO+ member.

I don't know why ZOS would have an issue with people subbing one month, buying the items in question, then unsubbing. At that point it would be up to ZOS to include exclusive mount/pet/costume skins that are enticing enough to keep those subscribers subbing month after month. Especially if the items in question are generally more than 1500 crowns.
