Some nice stuff coming was looking forward to the Pact Mother Elite ensemble, but here's hoping it's in the crown store next month

glad to see the Redoran Sconce, Beetle not in apex rewards.

Inari Telvanni

Kind of disappointing to see another Apex costume but whatever.

Necrotech_Master

im not particularly liking this precedent of adding a collectible with 25 crate bundles

i dont like the crates, but i do like some of those collectibles (i dont use skins a ton but this spellscar one actually looks neat)

boi_anachronism_

Yeah see i like the skin but i dont like it enough to spend that kind of money and being locked behind purchasing crates especially with gifting gone its a solid no go.

Quethrosar

how about you let me just pay cash for the spell griffon ?

Wolfkeks

Necrom Armiger Body Markings look nice but 100 gems are waaay too much for a body markings

Yeah I really like this costume, but 400 gems? I guess they're thinking people have too many gems piled up and need to clear them out to sell more crates...
I was hoping the drama with the crate gifting would lead to a trend towards more realistic pricing for crates and crate items. I usually buy some crates, but I feel myself hesitating to do so the past few runs.

Another crown crate that I am going to miss due to no gifting, I wonder how little sales they are down these days with the block on that

There are some nice items in Legendary and lower tier!

I love sharp and detailed texture on the skin with 25 crates bundle, but I feel that it would be much better with elemental special effects (similar to which the pet from 5 crate bundle has). Even some fiery/glowing eyes would improve it. It just seems unfinished
I've previewed the skin on all my characters, but I can't make up any interesting look with it in my imagination. It needs some aura badly. Spiderkith eyes and Grim Focus on weapons is not enough





Anyone has any examples of their characters incorporating this skin into their style?

I could justify the Shade polymorph bundle, and my Nightblades still use this polymorph all the time.

Unfeathered polymorph bundle was worse, because the polymorph itself looks like a set of armor, and only golden glowing eyes stand out. I used this polymorh on my Bosmer for a day or two, and it was forgotten. Now we even got the same style of helmet in new crates, so the polymorph's most prominent piece of armor is not unique anymore

Bundle with just a skin is getting too boring. Currently we don't have any skins with special effects, so this is perfect opportunity to introduce one!

Also, it would be great if somebody can showcase any of this season's Radiant and Apex mounts (how they sound, what they look like when you press spacebar, their new idle animations in housing)

Hearing the voice of Harrowing Reaper polymorph also interests me greatly, if somebody can record some gameplay with it The upper part of the polymorph looks very cool, but I personally dislike the skinny legs - it would look much more interesting with red mist surrounding the bottom part of this polymorph (similar to blue mist from Lich polymorph, which looks awesome). Or even with long(er) skirt.

And question to developers, please think about it: will there ever be an option to preview some of those things in the store before buying such cosmetics?
1) Some basic emotes (laugh, angry, cheer)/combat voice lines for polymorphs.
2) Rearing up animation and unique idle animation for mounts.

ZOS is a business whose purpose is to earn money. The amount of fraudulent crown sales had to be so much, high enough that ZOS chose to shut down a revenue stream, that I would guess non-fruadulent sales are not down as much as one may think. What percent of the crowns used for gifting need to be fraudulent in order for a company to say we will close that revenue stream off and earn zero money from it rather then deal with the issues of fraud? ESO+ crowns are a bystander casualty, but I doubt the number of people canceling ESO+ because they can not gift, is not very many.

Already go that dress!

Is it just me, but I don't see the Necrom Armiger Belt in the Crates or the store itself? How can we get the Necrom Armiger Belt style?

Its possible there isn't one, I'm sure in the past I've had a style that doesn't have a belt in it (might have been from one of the events)

At first, I wondered if that was the case, but there are certainly references to it out on the web. It certainly seems to have not made it into the crates though.

It's been like that for a while now with crate styles. The belts are datamined but don't actually appear in the crates. I'm not really sure why.

Interesting. Thanks!

This is the first apex costume I went for, and seeing all the details, I can see why it was at a higher tier than most costumes — really well done and I don’t regret the splurge!

Threemoons

I was going NUTS trying to find the belt. Thanks for confirming that there wasn't one! Gah!

Threemoons

Also, I seem to have missed out on some of the weapons -- any chance that the crates will come back soon for a rerun??

I would not expect so. The previous two crate seasons are returning this month because of gifting being disabled earlier this year.
