Rare motifs on the crown store! Finally, something I want to buy! *drools*

MissBizz

Yeah! This is going to be a great weekend. Grab your energy drinks folks, it'll be a long one!

silverbluemoon

I would really like to get a code for a friend of mine as well. I'm hoping she may purchase.

SaberCat

Respec scrolls, sounds good to me.

Unfortunately Lag is what's probably gonna happen on this weekend... and lots of it.

Teiji

Exactly. Tell me @ZOS_JasonLeavey how are you guys going to explain the lousy game performance in both Pve and PvP (and particularly in Cyrodiil)? Do you really think returning players are going to stick around once they experience it?

Well, there goes the value of motifs. Good going; now we have a reason for the drop rate nerfs.

And people always complain that an AH / global market would destroy the value of in-game goods.

ppl want to buy cosmetic items with real money, did you really think motifs would not be something ppl could buy with real money once ESO went free to play?

Let's see if my guild comes back.... miss them guys O.o

I just wonder how many players that played in BETA and said ESO will be massive fail and don't have any chances etc will come back quietly and start playing.
How many of those who said sub-based ESO won't make any sense and now will play it once more and SUB!

Well ...we will probably never find out.

So to all raging beta players that didn't belie is ESO succeeding: 'sux to be you now, right?'

Having to put multi in-game items on a cash shop is not a sign of "success." It's a desperate grab for money as fast as possible.

Like everyone cares about the shop
I'm playing ESO for content ...not the shop items, paying sub all the time not for new 'ESO plus' ...just to support the game as before

In reality, that won't happen because of their principles of a mmo gaming code etc. I am one of those beta players and I came back because it became b2p and for the meaningful content they can keep adding, if they do so.

I could care less about that stupid crown shop, there are better things to ask and give good insight for a better gaming and experience rather than ask for the same old crappy vanity's.

But saying and thinking that many beta player will play this game just for those prices that only will be giving for a low amount of players? And those playes might be counted as the ones that have stuck with ESO since the very begging? That is sad stupid funny statement to make.

great now i need to buy some crowns for the new mount

AefionBloodclaw

I think its a very poor decision to remove the leopard mount. Yeah sure have an exclusive mount temporarily available, but how about making it available for a bit longer than a few days? Plus, its such a waste - a cool looking mount like the leopard shouldn't be wasted on such a small opportunity, never ever to be seen again. It should be glorified even, as one of ESO's best mounts instead of wasted on a 1 time opportunity and then vanish completely.

Marko95

Wow there is even a chance for us less fortunate to get the game (for one at least), thank you ZeniMax.

jwill1991

Malmai

So i guess the game is goin F2P after all?

dichosonalecrwb17_ESO

ill be playing this only for four days? so i downloaded a 80gb game, then after i played it for 4 days i cant log in?

hhaagen79b14_ESO

I've been trying to come back for a while now, but I keep having trouble with the download

VanyelMohr

Just for clarification purposes, can anyone win the prizes after playing 2 hours or are they available only for the returning beta players?

lonewolf26

Clarifications for the Clan Shar'Matar Event locations are available now on our guild website.

My download speed is horrendous. Looks like there will be no welcome back for me unless we can get a fix. 100kbps at 11% after leaving it to download for dozens of hours.

Anyone can win, whether you're a previous beta tester or current player!

usbguruub17_ESO

Thanks for the Welcome Back. Beta was ok, but I could never get off the island, so it got boring very quickly.

Now to try again-- I finally survived the download (insert common horror story here), and started playing.

I have lots of constructively critical comments... should they be posted in this forum, or just silently endured?
