Please tell me the Kyne's Fury skin will still be available when the Sovngarde crates are released. Also, very upset that skin is crown gems... I am NOT buying more crates with rewards I don't want even for such an awesome skin.

It won't. The skin will be leaving as the new crates arrive. It's sad but completely unsurprising that they chose to do three gem exclusives in the final three weeks of the old crates.

Yup.. to have them at the end of the crate season is a very low blow, even for them.

Clearly, too many players were sitting on piles of gems, and they had to offer some incentive for them to spend them so that they'll buy crates during the next season. Can't have too many of the real gamblers just buying the next season outright from their gems stockpile. Makes sense if you're going to keep your revenue from the big crate spenders.

And no, I don't buy crates nor do I like them...I wish they'd do away with them. But we all know they generate too much revenue for ZOS not to have them. Some players are quite willing to spend hundreds of dollars trying to get the apex mount they want.

ETA: There are quite a few items here that I would buy for crowns, but absolutely not going to gamble for them.

Finally, it returns after years! Polymorph with awesome creepy voice is always nice Thank you for including it in this season.

Overall, this season has many interesting items from Legendary and lower tiers. That new hairstyle is coming, so awesome!

(Un)fortunately, I don't like Radiant and Apex mounts here. They would need to have outstanding effects/summoning and super awesome voices to distract me from their body looks (rings on their tails are major turn-off for my taste)

That draugr picture in the middle of the first post, looks like he got caught trying to sneak cookies out of the kitchen in the middle of the night haha!

I love them all but I’m not prepared to gamble for them sorry.

The saddest one is the Apex mount of Nightfall crates, it doesn't even have any summon effect. It just pops... appeared

Oh, I 100% agree Nightfall season has the absolute worst Apex mounts so far (models itself are just awesome, but lack of any effects is just wrong)... Previously the worst season was Baandari, but there was at least nice glow of lantern in the rider's hand.
I actually was sure that designers would add effects to Nightfall Apex mounts while the season is still in store - to drive more sales, and satisfy people who already own these mounts. But season is ending and mounts are still boring It's really a shame, cause these cool mounts feel unfinished without special effects.

Excellent...

Just wanted to say thanks for bringing back the Zeht's Cloud Camel. I've been waiting literal years, so I'm glad to see it again. Wish it wasn't in crates, but that's showbiz, baby.

Now if we can just get the Dwarven Crates back for a bit, I'll be set on mounts.

Oh, and the other stuff looks pretty cool.
