Official Discussion Thread for "Introducing the Scalecaller Crown Crates & Giveaway Weekend"

Not enough costumes or hairstyles or makeup... sadface

That Sabrecat though... Dayum

MarrazzMist

Cool mounts these frostbane mounts! Though a motif book would make me equally happy

Giraffon

Wait a minute...

The marketing materials all say the event runs from Friday March 9 - Sunday, March 11. But then it says 12:00 a.m. GMT. Since I just skimmed the article and only saw the dates, I basically have missed a day since it appears the event actually started on Thursday night at 7:00 p.m. for me.

That super sucks.

Come up with a better way to advertise the start times and quit giving days of the week that don't apply to everyone.

Well - it did specify the time and a very reasonable choice of timezone for us to convert ourselves, so I'm alright with that. I wonder if they could auto-convert it to the customer's own timezone before delivering the email, but that might cause more trouble than it's worth.

My problem is with how late the email came in for it - when the first day of the event was almost over. Please send em' out earlier, ZOS!

Oh, and do give me an extra crate for the one I'd missed. Maybe even a Flame Atronach crate for the one in the previous event too. *wink*

Ayy dragon priest costume is back. Legendary though

Ever since you guys dropped the latest patch, I've had problems logging in. I have to try to log multiple times and when I finally get in, I get DCed. If I actually get into game, I get DCed when changing maps and then the whole thing starts over again.... Anyone else having these problems?

Yes/no. I've been having problems logging in since before the patch, to the point that 80% of the time it gives me an error and tells me to try back in a few minutes. But once I'm in I'm usually okay.

Only thing I really covet is the dragon statue

By the way, the red and blue radiant apex mounts seem more EP and DC-like than the alliance horses (the wolf is team orange ).

Peekachu99

Apex Mounts look a bit junky. Too much going on. I’m not clear on how they tie into the theme tbh. Motifs and skins are awesome though,

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Will these replace the Flame Atronach crates in the level up rewards?

@ak_pvp I know, I really want it, but I will never get it. It's so upsetting

P.S.A.

The US east coast is now observing Eastern Standard Time as of today. But, I would assume 7:59 pm EST is the end time, as Eastern Standard Time is 4 hours behind GMT.

Edit: ignore me. Having a brain cramp. It is daylight time.

Daylight saving time started today for US East Coast (EDT).

Ugh. Sorry, had a total brain cramp there. You are correct. I guess I needed one more hour of sleep last night.

So.. You just have to log in and kill a thing? Is there any prompting to let you know that you'll receive the freebie? This is my first event of this type, so not quite sure how it works. XD

No prompt or confirmation or anything. You just go do the thing and wait for your swag to show up on Tuesday.

... isn't it Thursday?

The crates switch themes on Thursday, but according to the article we get our freebies on Tuesday.

Glad these are all awful so I'm not tempted to spend any money on them. Keep pumping out the quality content, ZoS!

G1Countdown

Why is the Resplendent Sweetroll never available for gems? Why not make it a Radiant Apex Reward if it's never going to be available? This is frustrating.

Also, I looked over all the promotional material for the Scalecaller Crates and I can't find a single disclaimer saying you can't get it for gems.

Shadowmaster

I am anxiously awaiting a lawsuit over the gambling aspect of these crowns.

Its unfortunate the team cannot invest the amount of time fixing or adding content that it invests in selling gambling-like items in game.

i always hated all apex rewards in all crown crate season --- which was a good thing

now, with Scalecaller Crown Crates, i really love all apex rewards! i'm doomed!

congratulations on the great work!

well... there so little that i don't enjoy on this last crown crate season... and i just had the amazing experience on getting all that few trash on 15 crates that i opened --- lesson learned (i hope) ...i feel stupid :')

MornaBaine

Another lackluster crate season. Can I just say the circlets are some of the worst I've seen yet? Not only are they bulky and just silly shaped but they have virtually no detailing or intricacy. WHY aren't we getting the hairstyles that have been datamined and that we see NPCs having??? Why aren't we getting more eye make-up and, please, when we do, NOT drag queen makeup please!?
