This is the official discussion thread for the Crown Store Showcase – January 2019 blog article.

New Year, new Crown Store items! This month features the latest fashions from Valenwood, Murkmire, and Cyrodiil in addition to a fearsome collection of mounts, pets, styles and more. Check them all out in the latest Crown Store Showcase!

New auroran warhorse... I see what u're doing here.

The Star-Made Wolfshead will return to the Crown Store for a limited time during a Midyear Mayhem encore event on all platforms, from January 10 to January 21 at 10am EST. Watch for more details about the event later this month!

And now I am intrigued... <hype>

Aeslief

Happy to see Snow Bear Cub return at last!

May grab the noble pack. But that looks like it

ESO+ exclusive costumes for a whole month, wow...
Is it just me or are most of these this month just repeats?

Delpi

So... more tiny statues that already exists in game as free rewards for ESO+...

Leeched

This whole ESO+ only for reduced price at limited time stuff just start to feel more and more like they try to increase the quantity of crown store stuff when they actually didnt...
This month is pretty lackluster. Only the two costumes look promising imho. Pet and mount are just another reskin and the motif can be farmed ingame... The stuff from Mayhem is the same as last time as well...

Nord_Raseri

damn. was very hopefull for the huntsman motif. It's going to be hard holding onto my crowns for another month with those riding skill books calling my new characters

THIS. Wow do I NOT care at all about these. My only hope is that they will do the Divines next maybe.
Rest of the showcase is extremely "MEH!" as well. I guess they just had to give us the rest of the Argonian stuff.... while they continue to keep back all the Summerset dresses....and the Nord dresses. SIGH Literally the only things I would have wanted are the Imperial things...and I already have them.

Super disappointed in this one.

Would be funnilly infuriating if the white gryphon puppy pet costs less than 1k crowns...

But we know that ain't happenin...
Or is it?

I was wrong.. It is a different one....

Wow. The first thing they push for 2019 is the crown store crap. Not bug fixes, new content, combat balance, or lag adjustments. Crown store stuff. Good to see where your focus is, ZOS.

So much I want, but can't afford! Can buy most of it with gold in trade, but the ESO plus exclusvies can't be gifted.

Also, i want the Xanmeer house sooooo much! It's gorgeous, especially the aquarium room! But sadly, not enough real world $.

P.S. Why is mid-year mayhem in Morning Star? :-P

If they didn't have the showcase posted right away, people would complain about that too. Also, Midyear Mayhem Encore got teased in the middle of that.

So...damned if they do, damned if they don't.

Well, the showcase is always posted at this time. Fixes and new content will come with a new patch some time soon, so patience my friend

Xanmeer!!!

Shadows and Stone!!

I don't think it was a good move to add the Snow Gryphon Fledging as straight up buyable as well as from the gifting event...it read like an exclusive from gifting.

Edit: We already have the divines shrines as luxury furniture items (although a mini gold dibella statue would be amazing) and I like that we might get every daedric prince statuette it is interesting they chose Clavicus when we have access to a different statuette of him (the 100k achievement one from Vvardenfell - but in that one he is wearing the masque not holding it out like in the coming collectible one)

Edit 2: Could we get a confirmation of which dailies the Elder Argonian chapters will come from? (the WB, delve and Root-Whisper and/or Murkmire preparation dailies or will new dailies be added?)

Yea I agree with this... This was disappointing to read.

As for the rest of this showcase, I'm not really a fan, but hopefully this showcase appeals to others.

Well, that saved me some cash 🙂

To be honest, unless it’s a pack that swaps those aweful dk poison skills back to the infinitely cooler fire ones I can’t think of much of hand

The bloodspawn set is okay I suppose but not enough for me to buy, though more big showy staves are always appreciated... also anything to make female charecters look a bit more formidable would be appreciated, my wife suggested you start with the female barbarian from Diablo 3 and work up from there 😎

I wonder if we'll be able to earn the Midyear Victor's Laurel Wreath during this particular version of the event? I've wanted it for one of my characters ever since I began ESO several months ago, even though I've never tried to PVP and don't really know how. I wonder how hard it is to obtain?

Beardimus

Excited most for an extra PvP event!!

Any news if there's additional campaigns @ZOS_JessicaFolsom ? And any rule differences i.e. Emp was turned off last time.

Left4Daud

I’ve literally been waiting for the snow bears to return since I missed them back in December 2015.

Thank you so much!

Fire your Crown Store team. Seriously, is anyone even trying anymore? Is there even one person on staff whose job is to stop and think "Hmm, what do the customers actually want?" I can name 10 cosmetics off the top of my head that would each individually sell more than every single item in this showcase combined.

Is Zenimax even trying to make money off cosmetics anymore? Or will all future effort be expended on "rebalancing" races people have already spent money on tokens to change?

This game is in danger of becoming a cautionary tale in bad business ethics.

I understand why so much daedric stuff is being made. We know exactly what they look like, while the divines are completely unknown and left to our imagination.

But I really wish ESO wasn't such a satanistic game. All DLCs are always about being a bad character with no option for being good. Thieved Guild, Dark Brotherhood. Everything is about murder, daedra, sithis and celebrating how cool it is to be evil.
The divines are just as much a part of Elder scrolls as the dark things and they too have fans devoted to them.

I wish we would get something divine for a change. Or at the very least, allowing for some roleplay. I always must close my eyes if I want to play this game and pretend my character never did that. Murkmire was just as hard.... helping those Sithis (basically Satan) worshipping people without an option for me to ever question this and take a stance for the light.

Another month without the Alinor gowns. I am perplexed.

Anyway, I hope we get a Peryite statuette at some point. That would look nice on my desk.

I'll save my money. Thanks for churning out garbage Zos.

where are you getting all this "Satan" stuff from? please leave abrahamic religions out of this game.

OMG The Snow Bears!!!!!! I literally leapt with glee upon seeing them!

I purchased the game during their availability years ago, specifically at that time before Christmas IN ORDER TO GET THEM, and purchased crowns while downloading the game but could not get my account established enough to acquire them because the download at that time literally took me more than 2 days (and then would crash at about 24-36 hours in and start all over) hence I could not log in and access the crown store...

So I've waited for these with a tinge of envy/resentment every time I've seen another player run with them for YEARS. It will be so nice to finally have those things that I purchased crowns for many years ago!

Its an over-simplification to say Daedra = Devil
Sithis isn't Satan.
Many MANY times the Hero is helped by a Daedra, their motives unknowable, even some of the more 'evil' ones like Boethiah & Mephala legit help You save the town/world.
