Well, we others who didn't (or don't want to) spend that time still don't have that BiS item. So we'll have to wait till October or possibly longer (to get the crystals as well), while you had your gear all those months as a reward for farming.

What a sacrifice, having to wait till october to get all BiS without doing anything!

As someone who hates PVE, I freaking love this new system. It makes it 8/9x more probable you'll get an item you can use in PVP or convert it into one. You may still have to grind a little bit to get the crystals, but at least you don't have to really on some stupid RNG once you have the base item.
Thank you for listening, ZOS.

@ZOS_GinaBruno , @ZOS_JessicaFolsom - couple questions:
* Will the transmute crystals be BOA?
* Will transmute crystals be available for purchase on the crown store?
* Any idea what release transmogrification will be included in?
* Any new housing items/houses? Other than the transmute station?
* Will Dwemer frames be easier to come by with a clockwork-themed DLC?

I'm really curious about the new motifs. From the screenshots, it seems there'll be one akin to Sotha Sil's outfit, and something that looks like Elven armor.
Now, ZOS has a history of showing/promoting styles that are not available during that update, so I don't think we'll see Elven armor with CWC, also because it doesn't make sense thematically. But it gives us an idea what they are working on for the future, including the yet unreleased Tsaesci style.

I think there should be a writ voucher price for Transmutation Crystals.

I vote for the Iron Price...

Are those balance changes mentioned in the blog of a deep scope like the ones in morrowind and horns of the reach?

ZOS, we need large cogs. Dwemer ruins are filled with them and the only furnishing recipes for cogs are tiny. Any new Dwemer themed furnishings would be very welcome.

* Will Dwemer frames be easier to come by with a clockwork-themed DLC?

I have crafted two complete sets of Dwemer armour for myself using in total just 14 frames in the few years I've been playing ESO. Now I've burnt through over a hundred just making a couple of items of furniture in a couple of weeks. I need many many more. ZOS please either lower the number of frames needed for Dwemer furnishings or make them a lot easier to come by.

Here's hoping to discovering new Dwemer lore from the Clockwork City, and not recycled snippets from earlier elder scrolls games.

There's a place in Wrothgar where you can reliably farm dwemer frames. Quite easy, just have to complete a few chores given by a midget Daedra

* Will they introduce Falkreath hold/Bloodroot forge motifs ?( 100% drop chance in HM )
* Will they introduce Vhof motif ?( weekly box )
* How will you do about fish ( VERY important question )? dwarven fish in oil ?

Well the motif will be one of the reasons I that will make me start doing them. At this moment there is really no motivation for me besides the quite ugly hat and skin. Lava skin or even no skin was passable. Simple minded savage painted skin and cow's skull it's not.

The screenshot look beautiful ..

This would be awesome to see this added to the " Wall paper " section.

btw , I want you to know that Hew's ban ... Orsinium .. Gold coast don't have their Bank/merchant / craft station very close to each other , and it's why i don't see so much people there contrary to Vivec/grathwood/Mournhold where all these thing are very close and make the town alive .. it's very sad

As we can see on the screenshot above Clock work city look beautiful ...and this would be just awesome to see the town full of live and not just at the realease and near the retrait station. So plz ... make it so we won't need to have more than 1 loading screen to acess to all the stations and the banker + the merchants .

I was super excited for this update when i heard that we could change traits on items.

... Then i found out how they were going to implement it, and it totally crushed any & all interest i had for the update.
Now im actually pretty mad & salty..

Zos i know a-lot of people like doing pve, but ALOT of other people HATE PVE, heck some don't even like combat.
How the heck are the humble PVPer, Crafter, Roleplayers, OR Housing builders suppose to get these gems now??
And its not like we can trade our gear to our Dungeon running friends because most of them HATE crafting.. so no one is winning here. Heck is a trait swapped item even trade able??

PLEASE fix this by simply making the trait changing Gems tradeable.

Thank you.

Edit: i just read a post above me about a "style changer", This is also a good idea. Ied love to someday see one added to the game, along with jewellery crafting. Even if we cant upgrade jewellery color, ied still like to be able to make crafted set jewellery. Maybe allow us to pick what color we want while we make the jewellery, that way it can match the crafted jewellery to the rarity color of our sets, without messing up the prices of the super rare drop jewellery from world and dungeons.

We don't always need SUPER crazy huge content that took the entire dev team months to make. sometimes the smallest quality of life additions have the biggest effects.
Thats my 2 cents. Thanks for reading 0/

Yay,gotta grind vet content for the crystals.gauranteed drop? they account bound too? Seriously,wtf does everything have to involve grinding? Can no developer come up with a better system?

Extreme lack of creativity and innovation is why the current mmorpg market is lackluster across the board. All general features are regurgitated from something another mmorpg has already done, and progressively more focus is being put on busywork (grinding) in order to ensure those subscription/active player metrics are continually maintained.
