250k TV Stones for a Polymorph??

SlayerSyrena

I'm hoping this insane price on the PTS is not 'set in stone' yet. I absolutely LOVE Imperial City but I don't want to feel the need to grind there for stones until I'm 90 years old.

ManDraKE

With the bonuses to district capture, and the IC mobs being nerfed to oblivion, farm 250k won't be that hard.

It's not hard to obtain. Just boring.

Hoping the changes will make it fun again.

DPShiro

At least there is a way to get them now. Spent a ridiculous amount the first months and only got one of them.

MaxwellC

It's not hard to obtain? Interesting you're right it's not hard to obtain but is it hard in the perspective that you must literally grind for hours on in; short answer yes. I haven't seen any new or compelling poly-morphs in the PTS but I'll check again to make sure.

Zerg a quarter, take te flag, farm, you'll be able to get them really easily.
The main advantage is that they can be sold.

myrrrorb14_ESO

Not sure what I was expecting, but that is definitely a bit of a shock.

LBxFinalDeath

Personally I'm against them selling the polymorphs outright with no chance of failure but that may just be me.

Flaminir

Farming three quarters of a million TV's?

Hmmm...


Will pass on that one thanks.

Delpi

No, it's not so easy for everyone... People who already has them complained because they need to spend 50k-100k on reward boxes to get one. Now, it's even worse.At least it's not a lottery anymore.

You also get 33% extra in disctricts.

Saw a guy carrying 10k stones get 66 stones or something from 1 mob. It's only slow if you don't risk it.

Though lowering them down a bit to 100k or something would be nice, it's grindy but not impossible.

250k? Even for a NB that's quite the grind

Thats nothing I get like 20k daily, my best is 35k.

WaTeR-aBuSeR

Only had to spend bout 50k and got two of them. Just buy the cheapest box atm and it shouldn't be that hard to get them. I wish they added the scamp and skin to the boxes instead of just drops.

NOOOOOO. NO. They are nerfing the IC mobs!? Source?
If I wanted to fight things that hit like soggy noodles, I'd go bak to WoW....

olsborg

I seriously hope they dont nerf the strenght of ic mobs, its challenging fighting there, or atleast close to challenging, if anything they should buff them.

MisterBastahrd

Looks like I'll never have a draugr polymorph. That's even dumber than the price of the Akaviri motifs.

LegacyDM

I swear, you guys want everything handed to you on a silver plater. Go farm mobs , take districts, and kill people. Within a month you'll have 250k stones. Sheesh. Buy the random bags and you'll get one for under a 100k.

WeerW3ir

I think its perfectly correct price. that much u f.ck up if i try to open it at the normal way xD so stop whinning. not whatever if u spend 250k at once or just normally? nothing bad about it

"Risk it"? That's what you call facing 2 zerg factions that will guard these districts like bloodhounds?

Yeah, no. This only empowers the already powerful players and even if it is guaranteed the difference from 3k to 250k is... I don't have the words.

The reduction to stones lost is nice but that doesn't really matter if you can't gain any TV in the first place.

Recremen

Love the idea, execution might need some work though. On the other hand, I hate lockbox lotteries and RNG, so this might be pretty cool overall.

Nestor

I am sort of glad that I don't ever use Polymporphs or Costumes for that matter.

Marktoneth3

trying to farm in Azura It was really hard

lonewolf26

I hope they also consider adding the soul shriven skin. Molag Bal just isn't ever in a giving mood when I'm around.

NOOOOOO. NO. They are needing the IC mobs!? Source?

source? download PTS and get into IC, mobs are nerfed really hard, both bosses and regular mobs. You can now solo those bosses on IC that used to wipe entire groups.

darkstar2084

i have gotten two form the green boxes, probably spent over 100k for both

N0TPLAYER2

As someone who has spent 345,000 stones (yes 345k) on green boxes... I'll say I am grateful. It SHOULD be hard to obtain.

I spent the stones on 575 green boxes. With that amount of stones, I could have bought 34.5 stacks or rubedo leather. Leather was selling around 50k per stack for a while and still is high, and that would have netted me 1,750,000 in gold.

Realistically I spent nearly 2 million gold on my one single polymorph. I realize others have gotten them much much cheaper than me, but this is something I wanted forever and I was willing to earn it.

So again I'll clarify and say I am glad it's expensive as ***, it should be.

So, to clarify. To you...

Hard = Boring

Example: Learning to fly a plane is boring.

Keep in mind you're enrolled @ Plane Flying School.

Waffennacht

Um @ManDraKE they've always been soloable. Now just by more people.

Contraptions

I hope they reduce the amount needed. 250k each is just stupid.
