I've been trying to avoid Guar and Leopard mounts for lore reasons, but I think I'm going to have to break down and buy this. It looks too badass to pass up!

Out of curiosity, what were these lore reasons?

I love exclusive content , but i think we should be able to trade our Costumes , Mounts and Pets , my girlfriend bought the game last week and she's in love with Frost Mare, i wish i could pass it for her

The odds that an Imperial in the DC would be ridding anything but a horse are extremely small

Not necessarily. Imperials are known for their inclusiveness of other cultures and such within their empire, and prior to the Planemeld they had a rather substantial one, it's not too much of a stretch to imagine an Imperial acquired a Guar or Senche mount prior to being displaced by the collapse of their empire, they could've been travelling to Daggerfall from Morrowind or somewhere Aldmeri when it all went pear shaped.

Attention, Tamriel's finest citizens! The Clouded Senche-Leopard is now available in the Crown Store across all platforms. This purrfect new mount offering will only be available until 10am EDT on Monday, 8/17.

Why is the riding animation so terrible for a limited time item? I bought it, and now i'm already regretting it. always constantly standing above the saddle.... even when 'walking' slowly it does it.

Honestly, I love that ESO has this optional stuff players can get. Yes, the mounts can be *ehem* expensive, but it's great to see variety in game. I do wish they bring back that ice mount. I really loved that, unfortunately I missed it

Yeah, that would be awesome. And I don't know if it's possible, but it would be nice if we could gift other players too.

3000 crowns? ill stick to the tiger one i have

Jiigen · August 2015

3000 crowns for a cold horse is way too expensive, I agreed, and was the only time-limited mount I did not purchase. Wasn't even all that great if I could buy entire games for that amount of money.

Clouded Leopard needs a thicker tail.

I really want a pet monkey to be added.

In time. It was recently datamined in the update 2.1 on the PTS, so it will likely come in the next few months.

There was already a pet monkey. I have one

It was for those who subscribed when the game came out (or did BETA, can't remember for sure)

Beta but I think there was a limited time monkey pet that came out in the Crown Store as well.

Crown store price's are all over the place. It really need's to be sorted out and soon.I mean, people are going to look at the 2500 crown price tag for a horse skin (or 3000 crown price tag in some cases) and then see they can get a DLC pack for the same price? It's either 25$ for DLC or $25 for a horse? They really do not warrant being the same price, even for limited edition 'content'.

Here's a quick breakdown of a small sampling from the Crown Store:

Guar mount 1300C=$15
Nightmare Courser 2500C=$25
Senche-Lioness 1800C=$25
Palomino,White Mane and Piebald horses 900C/e=$15
All pets 400C-700C/e=$8
Armored Knights, Ashalnder,Stealthy Rogues, Tribal Shamans, and Woodland Scouts 700Ce/=$8
Ordinator Armor and Draugr polymorph 1000C/e=$15
Wedding dress and Court Jester 7--C/e=$8
Dwemer, Imperial,Rare, Soon-be-Glass motifs 5000c/e=$40

There's no real reason for why the Ordinator Armor is 300C more than the other costume trio's? It's not a limited edition pack and doesn't provide any model changes as the Draugr Polymorph does. It's just a normal costume pack. There's no rhyme or reason as to this variant in pricing.

The size variations could be considered for the price range for the pet's but the Bravil retriever (and all dogs) is no smaller than the scamp or banekin but there's still a 300C price difference when the pet's all behave exactly the same and none offer more or less than the other's.

The price for the Dwemer, Imperial, 'Rare pack', and future release motifs is a whopping $40???? That's not to say they don't warrant a higher price tag than the basic motifs but the Alliance trio packs go for 500C ($8 lowest price based on available crown amounts for purchase). Going from $8 to $40 is a huge jump.

One way to help could be to offer purchase of Crown Store item's directly from the store page. Instead of showing a few pictures of available items on one page and then having the purchase of crown's on some other page, actually have the ability to buy just that item or multiple items added to a Crown Store 'shopping cart'. So if someone want's 2 pets and a costume pack they're able to directly buy just those items from the ESO website itself instead of buying crown's they have to go get in game and then go to the virtual market and buy something all over again.

There really need's to be some kind of streamlined approach to the Crown Store.

So much for that late August additions to the store. Might have told us we wouldn't get these new items like the nedic stuff till IC launches. Seriously. Why make us wait this long?

Because making us wait is what they are there for. It's what drives a MMO to keep players subbed longer, or keep overlap so they are still subbed once something is released.

Greetings, all! The latest round of Crown Store costumes has arrived! The Nedic Armor Pack, Noble Dress, Noble Suit, and Wedding Suit are now available in the Crown Store on all platforms. If you pick up one of these fashionable new costumes for yourself, show us your new look!

Paulington · August 2015

Even in the hustle and bustle of Mournhold, you still have to find time to look great.

Feynn · August 2015

I love the new costumes, Zenimax!

BUT you really need to make the DYEABLE or otherwise customizable in some other way, please (by which I don't mean "sell us reskins of the same costume in different colours at the same price"). These costumes are great for roleplay, but can you imagine going to a fancy dinner party where every rich merchant and noble woman wears exactly the same clothes? That's definitely a no-no in high society.

From the Imperial City patch, mounts will be customizable to an extent by allowing us to show or hide the saddle bags, armor and saddle harnesses. Could you do something similar for costumes as well, maybe?

Thank you Zenimax, I look forward to the improvements!

ShadowHvo · August 2015

Finally a formal suit for a formal man!

Thank you Zenimax, this fits my beloved Night Dreadheart perfectly! (Though he ain't going to battle in it, its strictly for events that requires a formal approach!)
