Crown Store Item Wish List

    Hello everyone!

    As part of Update 6, we are introducing the Crown Store: an in-game store where you can purchase customization and convenience items. The store offers consumables you can use to save time on in-game activities (like experience and crafting boosters, for example) along with new customization options including costumes, exotic pets, and mounts. When the Crown Store launches, we’ll have a number of items available immediately, but what about the future? Tell us what sorts of goods and services you would like to see offered in the Crown Store – you can be as general or specific as you’d like.

    You can view some of the planned Crown Store items at the following link, beginning at 23:59 http://www.twitch.tv/zenimaxonlinestudios/v/3711373

    We look forward to reading your ideas and feedback!

    I don't care what cosmetic items are sold, but I am concerned about the shop selling anything that can be obtained in-game by other means than gold (i.e. crafting, harvesting, looting, drops etc..). That way ruin lies.

    Btw, if I stay I plan to remain "subscribed", but I would also like say I think it's a really bad idea to use in-game bonuses on crafting research, experience gain etc.. It may seem marginal, but this too reeks of "pay to win". Please stick with your professed philosophy and figure out something else to make the sub worthwhile.

    Thanks and good luck. You'll need it, because with the CP debacle and now this ZoS' credibility has taken a nosedive and it will be a while before green players come in with no recollection of what came before.

    Please stop making requests for game features. ZOS have enough bad ideas as it is!

    - Lorebreaking items are very, very difficult. Take a look at SW:TOR for this and the "Life Day" in the SW universe which is basically a sort of excuse for having Christmas. People are still divided about having mounts that are colored/decorated in red/white with a christmas feeling for Life Day celebration.
    The funny thing about this is that Life Day has been part of Star Wars lore since 1978... It actually predates everything in Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. Granted, Lucasfilm kind of disavowed the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, but it did exist, and it did introduce, amongst other things, Life Day, Wookie-ookies (aka Wookie cookies), Boba Fett, and Chewbacca's wife and son!

    sorry @MODs, cannot edit with my IE

    if i could add one more thing, on the wish list:

    make our monthly crown loyalties -count-. Most games, your monthly stipend is not enough for nearly anything of note, so you always need to buy more. And more, and more crowns. Which evidently leads you to drop your sub, because let's face it, it is a rip off. Please do not go there :)

    Lol of course it isn't and never will be. Its about one thing $
    At least the spelling is difficult for you.

    How is offering XP boosts and mounts/costumes/pets considered pay to win?

    What in that whole paragraph denotes pay to win? Can you buy top-tier gear with real cash? No? That'd be pay to win.

    This sounds more like "pay to get nifty cosmetic shtuff and XP boosts to aid us in getting to max level"

    Where's the "win" in that? Please, I'm legitimately having trouble finding it.

    Keep a note of this post you made and look back in one or two years and see if it still rings true.

    Betcha it dont.

    For me, it is, of course, things for vampires and werewolves. I want the following costumes:
    10. All of the various Vampire Stage Looks. Wearing these costumes would keep your vampire with the APPEARANCE of the selected Stage regardless of what Stage they are actually in. Caveat: IF the Justice System causes Stage 4 vampires to be aggroed by guards then the costume needs to "break" at Stage 4 but NOT disappear from your inventory and can be put back on once you return to Stage 3 or lower.
    11. Cyrodiilic Vampire. This costume would return your vampire, no matter their stage, to the original appearance they had when they were created BEFORE becoming a vampire. Caveat: IF the Justice System causes Stage 4 vampires to be aggroed by guards then the costume needs to "break" at Stage 4 but NOT disappear from your inventory and can be put back on once you return to Stage 3 or lower.
    12. Glenmoril Wyrd Vampire: This costume would give your vampire the Stage 1 skin but keep their original eye color and makeup/tattoos. Caveat: IF the Justice System causes Stage 4 vampires to be aggroed by guards then the costume needs to "break" at Stage 4 but NOT disappear from your inventory and can be put back on once you return to Stage 3 or lower.
    13. NOTE: The vampire costumes must apply to the body of the character only so that you may still wear the armor of your choice with them rather than having them come with a premade costume/clothing set. It would be NICE if these vampiric costumes were actually in the form of a slottable trinket or trophy so that you could then wear regular costumes with them as well. I am okay with these vampiric costumes being SLIGHTLY more expensive than the other costumes as they will definitely require more involved coding to create.
    14. Some suitably dark and spooky costumes for vampires to wear.

    Yes, to all these! Also new emotes for vampires, /lungehiss, /barefangs, etc ...

    I hope the new business model can be managed better than other games.
    More or less as wish list I'd like what written by many already.
    The chance to change appearance would be interesting.
    Crowns rewarded for past subscribed months could be more.

    I just hope two things:
    - no pay to win (items, abilities, etc.)
    - no gear/costumes/mounts not related to TES setting (like motorbikes, sunglasses, seasonal gear and crazy costumes similar to some GW2 stuff)

    P.s. some costumes should not work in Cyrodiil (jester, wedding one, etc.), some others could be usable just in specific locations.

    I'd love to see some nice quality of life items such as remote bank and remote guild store access devices. These devices could only be used x amount of times per day, and could also be crafted by either a blacksmith or better yet woodworker (they need far more items types to craft). The required mats to craft the items could be very high, say 1 to 5 stacks of each wood type.

    Clothes: I would stay strictly to villager clothes. I wouldn't advocate for armour-based items. The game seems to be lacking in villager clothes, which is something that Elder Scrolls games are supposed to have. I think commoner clothes would be a great addition to the crown shop, as they would be in demand from players, are 100% lore-friendly, and ZOS can continually diversify NPC outfits.

    Character Appearance: I wouldn't like something that allows people to completely change a character's appearance. I think it should be restricted to hair, adornments, tattoos and build (skinny/muscular/fat). This way, your character is still the same person, just probably went to the gym and got a haircut (or grew hair). Hair colour remains the same as creation (or should we have the freedom to change hair colour?).

    Additional Appearance Options: Implement more hairstyles, adornments and tattoos for the buying. Try not to keep them too neatly fashioned, just make them look good for the lore.

    Texture Packs: This is modding territory, but I think it's a good DLC idea to have high-res and low-res/basic texture packs. Perhaps even permit individual developers to host their own packs, sell them, and ZOS can receive royalties? The closer ESO is to traditional TES modding communities, the better.

    Speaking of: Allow modding capabilities for sound, lighting and textures. Anything to spice up the appearance of the game, the better. Endless visuals! Any successful mods (or anything ZOS likes) can receive standalone implementations (e.g. clothing textures), and be sold in the shop for royalties.

    Please note that these mod edits will not be able to be seen by other players who do not use the mods.

    If the past two suggestions would lead to technical issues, then forget it.

    Horse Stable: I think it's important for people to be able to transfer horses they've been feeding for months to other characters. This is great for people who create new mains, or play on their alts for extended periods of them. A one-time transfer should do.

    House Decorations: Since we will be getting a housing system some time in the future, it would be wise for ZOS to sell decorations in the Crown shop. Possibly also have a crafting system for it too, but buying with cash is convenient for people who want to decorate immediately. **Building houses would probably be through crafting, and not sold in the Crown shop.

    Pets: Current pets are pushing the lore, imo. However, we can have various dogs, perhaps with a pet interaction system.

    Mounts: Please stick to horses. Personally, I wouldn't mind buying a horse with stats, it's not very P2W in my perspective, but I guess if others care about it, stick to simple horse stats.

    EXP Boost: Have an EXP boost for characters below level 50. Champion progression should not have a payer advantage.

    Expansions: I stand neutral on zone expansion packs. Might update this listing depending on community discussions.

    From: http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/147210/suggestions-for-crown-items#latest
    Posted before I found this thread.

    Also: If we have holiday specials, we could have festival items that coincide with in-game lore. I'm not familiar with Tamriel holidays, but players could use some familiarity with them.

    Please keep the cash shop lore friendly and not p2w and we are fine :smiley:
    also! New emoticons would be cool! + Barbershop!!! (even if i prefer it with in game gold)

    one more thing:
    I am a little bit worried about one thing of eso+ membership,i am a member since beta and i'll stay an eso+ for sure,but i am worried with the new areas,for example if i play for one more year and being a eso+ member,and suddenly something happens and i have to stop my subscription,will i have to buy all the areas that have been released that past year? it's gonna be a bit of pain and it's gonna be a disadvantage for eso+ members who suddenly need to stop the game in the future,because paying for all that content is gonna be really hard especially if we consider that this member stopped for economical reasons,some plans for special offers for past eso+ members,or after 5 months subscription you unlock the dlc to your account to stay forever there or something like that.Just some suggestions :smile:

    This is the kind of stuff that will completely ruin this game.

    This is an Elder Scrolls game, first and foremost. If ZOS ignores that fact and starts implementing things like this, game over.

    Things I would like to see:
    Additional character slots
    Name change option
    Appearance change option (on that note, still waiting for Argonian face paint to get some color options, ZOS!)
    Mounts - Lore friendly AND balanced with existing in-game mounts
    Vanity items if necessary. Honestly, I'd rather see some vanity items that can be made by crafters, but I wouldn't be terribly opposed to seeing them in the cash shop.

    Things I don't want to see:
    Obviously, anything game breaking or unbalancing. I know everyone has their own ideas on what would really be game breaking, immersion breaking, or unbalancing, but there are some universal ones to keep in mind at least. Keep clear of introducing anything obviously pay to win, of course. You know, no special gear that's stronger than what's available in game with exclusive enchantments that you can only get in the shop. You've upset (to say the least) enough players over the months with various balance tweaks, nerfs, etc. that you really don't need to be adding more work for yourselves by adding in other things that will just break the balance further. Otherwise, I'll just approach these changes with a kind of cautious optimism.

    I've seen cash shops done right. I stuck with SOE after they made all their games f2p with optional sub and EQ2's cash shop (can't speak for their other games since I don't play them) is hardly game breaking, though I would argue they kind of went off the deep end with some of their appearance mounts (please no giant rabbits).

    - limited time offers, usually preeminent when a financial Quarter is nearing, and tadaa, the surprise. Liited time offering of said item that is two times better than anything else you sold before it. And people bought. Already. Reasons being obvious

    Also:
    Just don't break the lore, the immersion of the game for the sake of crowns.

    Make sure that subscibers don't have to pay for new DLC, we made a contract, honor it.

    Definitely Character Customization and Name Changes. Name changes were actually promised to us pre-launch, and at launch the character creation screen was bugged so that you could not zoom in on our characters' faces. We really need these, Roleplayers especially.

    New crafting motifs, Senche-Raht mounts, Chaurus mounts, flying vanity pets (like a small bird), and hopefully cloaks and capes would also be great additions to the crown store.

    But please, no bear mounts.

    Not okay:
    • Character slots. We won't need them anymore since you can just make a new f2p account and make that 23rd DK you'll leave at level 1 and won't use.

    I thought the game was going b2p? You still have to buy an account in order to have more characters, that and your dyes and items and membership won't be shared. I think more character slots is an important thing to sell.

    Ah, you're right. I got so caught up in my QQ I forgot what they actually said.

    To be honest I have no idea what I would like to see there. Maybe some purely visual horse armor but that's it.

    Also, is there a wish list for what we want in Cyrodiil? Cause that's where I want to see new stuff.

    I did not read this tread yet so not sure if anyone already mentioned this but from the crown store I want:

    1) Different styles of mount armor, saddles, saddlebags, headgear, etc..

    2) "Weapon costumes": Meaning I can buy a sward, bow, staff etc.. that has no statistical value and can only be equipped in a "costume" slot but looks "cool" or "unique" or what not. Hell, they could even create weapon costumes that match gear costumes and have everything match as a full set. Whatever actual weapon I have equipped would be my weapon value; just as gear costumes work now. Finally, sward "costumes" can only be equipped when you have a sward on your bar and bow with bow. I only call it "weapon costume" because I do not know how else to describe it.

    I'm sure other people have mentioned items that I would also like to see but I thought these may be two items that people may not have talked about yet.
