As a collector of all things rare and unique (never available again via other means), we collectors are perplexed as to what ZOS's "for a limited time" means.
Snow leopold Senche will be available on Crown Store for a Limited Time. Does this mean the Senche will be available for a week and it will NEVER be available in the future forever? As a collector, there is a world of difference between being availabe again and not being available in the future and we would like to spend our crown efficiently, as in, buying this unique snow leopold Senche ASAP before the item is discontinued.
Usually in EVE Online, limited means it will never be available in the future.
ZOS, please specify as to what ZOS's limited time means!
(And as a collector, I definitely want this mount to be unique and never offered in the future window ever again).
Please tell us soon before we decide to commit to purchase! Sooner the better because we only have a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

✭✭✭It will be back. They arent going to make this anymore exclusive than they made the striped senche. As everyone was able to get that so will everyone be able to get this. So dont be shocked when you buy the supposedly limited mount and then a couple months later its back again for another "limited" run.4 -
The_Antiquarian✭✭✭✭I am not talking about the loyalty Senche. I don't care if ZOS gives out Stripped Senche as long as they are colored differently or have different naming convention. I am asking whether that exact snow leopold senche will be available again in crown store or via any other means in the future.
And I believe not everyone qualified for Striped Senche and it still remains that way.Edited by The_Antiquarian on April 13, 2015 6:03PM0 -

reften✭✭✭✭✭Marketing trick, just like McDonald's and their McRibb. Purposely vague. Yeees, maybe it will NEVER be offered again. Spend your money now or you'll miss!
When will it be taken away, that will be a surprise! Better buy it now.
Chance are, will be there for a month and once a year will be brought back as a limited time offer.
Plus, spend your crowns now on worthless stuff! Drain the account! (And then, zos puts up the stuff you REALLY want like the XP boost potions)

No it will not be for 1 week and thats all. It will be back most likely multiple times. I only bring up the senche because when it was to be exclusive you said that was a bad thing. This tho you want to only be for people who can buy it right now. What about people who dont get paid until next week or once a month on disability? How is it fair they will never have access to this store bought mount?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭This question won't be answered. It's part of the tactic. It MIGHT not ever be offered again so if you want to make sure you have it, you need to buy it now!What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.

uhmmm this is exactly what they are counting on...... oh idk when its coming back....if ...EVER!!!! omg must buy now!
lol just got buy it and save yourself some time.
i gave up on collecting everything "in game" when i saw pets being sold only with stuffed animals and such. lol cant belive i used to think id get a unique mount form finishing a raid ...what was i thinking nothing beats the thrill of whippen out my CC like a BOSS!1 -
Deheart✭✭✭? I am not seeing the Snow leopard Senche in my crown store?As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.0 -
The_Antiquarian✭✭✭✭Well, that is why I wanted some clarification because in a game like EVE Online, limited time means a limited time and it was never available again.0

So basically they want to give the illusion they may never sell ti again to make sure everyone who's thinking about buying one does, but in reality they will most likely bring it back to milk as much $ out of it as they can.It's all good Bollywood3 -

Congratulations... you win today's internet!
Despite giving us all a load of crowns its my guess that a lot of people still have quite a few due to the decidedly lacklustre initial offerings. Most people seem to have bought a mount, and maybe a couple of costumes.... thats it.
Before they can get people to pay more actual money, they need to get us to use the crowns they gave us initially.
Little marketing tricks like this will be common place.
I'm not even necessarily being critical of this... ZoS has to make this business model work now... no income = no game.
As long as it doesn't get too intrusive. And people just need to keep their eyes open & don't be too surprised when these things happen.... & get stroppy when their limited time Senche is back in the store again in a few months time "Because that's what the players asked for so we delivered it" .
They are running a business... businesses need to sell things to make money to continue.Edited by Flaminir on April 13, 2015 6:42PMGM of the Unholy LegacyEU/EPSorcerer Flaminir (Magicka) / Staminir (Stamina)

✭✭It's sure to come back around one day due to "popular demand". The console version isn't even out yet - of course they'll want to give the console players an opportunity to buy it. The unknown is how long it will be until it's re-released, which is the reason to buy it the 16th-20th if you want to ride it in the foreseeable future. I'm happy with my striped Senche but I am glad others who missed out on that have a chance to buy this one.Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

Athas24✭✭✭✭The Only reason I'm against such a limited time slot is that for Plus members, many may not get their allotment of crowns during that 1 week and if they want it will have to pay even more for it
Which, I'm probably going to do tonight...*sighs* lol 0 -

is this going to be a 2500 crown purchase like the fire horse? which is kinda ridiculous considering the other mounts are 1400. I mean I don't plan on buying it because its just a tiger with a different pattern, but id like to know why one mount is nearly double the price of others.@DeathDealer19

✭✭✭✭✭Personally I'd rather items are available to everyone who wants them. I don't mind things being difficult to get or even virtually impossible. But selling it once and then never again so some of those who got it can pretend there's something special about having been online at the right time is ridiculous. It ends up disappointing a lot more people than it pleases.DeathDealer19 wrote: »

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. - Douglas Adams1 -

Thank you for the clarification, I will wait till its on sale.Force weapon swap to have priority over EVERYTHING. Close enough.
Make stamina builds even with magicka builds.
Disable abilities while holding block.
Give us a REASON to do dungeons more than once.
Remove PVP AoE CAP. It is ruining Cyrodiil.
Fix/Remove Forward Camps. They are ruining Cyrodiil.
Impenetrability needs to REDUCE CRIT DAMAGE. Not negate entire builds.

✭✭Limited offers are exactly this, limited for a specific time. Of course they will be reintroduced sooner or later, either the exact same thing or in a different skin.
Marking something as rare, will trigger addicts that want it. This is how our world works, ever bought a ticket to a concert and the OC claimed " buy now, they are soon out of stock" and then at the day of the concert the tickets were still available? While nobody should fall for these "announcements", we still always do, at least about the things we love. FB, Twitter ..., every thing is about promotion and marketing, making as much money as possible and exactly this ZOS wants to do as well and complaining about it, seems naïve.
We all know how "exclusive" the dog, crab or Imperial edition once were and now you can get those at each corner for a few apples.
Personally, I don't care about cosmetics, but even I gave it a thought, but decided to not buy it as I have a mount already

Dear players,
We here at ZOS want you to give us money for something that does absolutely nothing for your character(s) beyond other readily available items. While we've been hard at work delaying the launch of any new content since the release of Veteran City of Ash, we broke our espresso maker and need to crowd source funds for a new one. So here is a reskin of an existing mount. Act now because we need our espresso and we would rather make it in the break room than go to Star Bucks.
Thank you,
Broke since no subs
P.S.
As an added bonus, we will let you customize the name of the mount, even though absolutely no one will ever see that name besides you.0
