Can we get a preview of the crown store?

Now that the game is B2W, I want to see what my options are.

There will be no pay-to-win items in the store

Yeah, and Zeni had no plans to deviate from a sub based model....

Leeric

Just like how ZOS said it wouldn't go free to play? lol ya.....or when they said your xp would be tracked for the champion system?

Dekkameron

They said it'll be on the PTS soon so you can see the prices of the items so we can see exactly what 1500 crowns will buy.

We showed off some items that will be available in the Crown Store during the Twitch stream that just aired. We'll have it archived soon on Twitch so you can see it, and will be available on YouTube later this week.

Can we see some more details of where it will be in the ui? If it will be flickering in our screens constantly? How it looks like?

This are some serious things that I am currently doubting about...

What about name changes, race changes, alliance changes? Are those to be included?

they've went back on things said before whats to stop them now.... hoping your right but i dont trust til i see it

Francescolg

People who already spent THAT much money for an imperial class, a white horse and a leveling-ring will be proud to give them more money (!) because they even did not use their.... when buying the emp-edition
And players who would notice this "flaw" won't also notice that the game is going to be pay2win. I bet those players don't even read the patch notes

In the beginning sure. But eventually the P2W will leak in. One way or another.

This is not confirmed, but you'll probably pay for access to DLC with "crowns," and you'll get crowns from the pay store. So your sub will get you a certain number of crowns every month, or you can just buy the crowns when you want them. The crowns are then exchanged for the DLC.

So for example - If Craglorn will be considered a DLC, people who don't pay for it would only have access to the the regular levelling zones. You'll need to pay to get access to Craglorn, nirncrux items, and the higher tiered gear that comes out of Craglorn.

So, either Zeni will be producing new content with no incentive to play it, or the game has just gone B2W.

And just like magic, here's a recording of the show: http://www.twitch.tv/zenimaxonlinestudios/v/3711373

How long till we open.crown shop and see "signet of the warlock X amount of crowns"?

ThatHappyCat

I just want to know: will there be EXP boosters, gold boosters, drop rate boosters, etc. in the store? Because these "convenience" items are essentially the same thing as buying progression, especially with the "endless" Champion progression.

Iselin

And, if I heard right, the crown store will be in the PTS next week along with 1.6.

Bloodystab

On Twitch Live there was:

Nothing P2W so far.

Razzak

And how long have you been working on those items? Since launch day, maybe?

And,.. Why exactly, was this not in the Dev Tracker in the OFFICIAL FORUMS BEFORE it aired? Only found out about it when I stumbled on it on Facebook. The broadcast was over before I found it.

Fixed :disagree:

What a joke... how about if you just post something in writing?

That depends on the potions...

Why on earth potions are included is beyond me. Unless it it done right, what an outstanding way to destroy alchemy and associated trading.

The fact that potions and soul gems--items whose c-store availability will directly impact aspects of regular play--are included is not a promising sign.

It was so they could publicize it in a somewhat positive light. They didn't want their actual paying customers there screwing up their marketing pitch explaining how the President of the company was absolutely wrong in his comments a year ago.

Those are items that can already be purchased from vendors for gold, though, and they're already not really worth spending gold on, let alone real money...

Now if the potions available are tri-pots or other ones that can currently only be crafted, then that's another story.

They said that the potions are similar to ones that can be purchased from NPC vendors and will be inferior to player crafted potions.

That's fine then (I'm at work and can't watch the twitch).

They did say specifically that the potions will be the basic health, stam, mag. No tri-pots as I understand it and will be comparable to/slightly better than NPC vendor potions but not better than what players can create. So they are really just items of convenience and shouldn't destabilize player economy (fingers crossed)
