I just gotta say... im literally buying everything.

-Polar bear mount : I knew not getting sucked into the Orsinium package was a good idea. Instead of a brown bear ill get me a nice polar bear


-Leopard Mount
-Black Panther Mount

-BABY NETCH!

The female costume's also look great! AMAZING. I've been waiting for a costume like the Corseted Riding Outfit, can't wait to pick it up.

This thread is going down hill which was not my intent. I don't want to hear people bashing Zos because of these costly item's etc. We all spend are money how we like. I was just happy with the recent item's that are on the way, compared to the other line up's i have purchased nothing. It's nice to see some actual item's in the store that i might want.

If we could direct our attention to the item's coming that would be great

I think im going to start making this a trend. I'll create hype thread's every month so we can discuss

I bought the brown bear and regret it so hard, the bears run animation is just TERRIBLE. Also those other outfits are all pretty meh for me. The dresses are cool though.

ZeFeZ

Won't be buying any outfits they look all meh at most, bear mount no thank you like the above poster said the animation is just terrible.

Might get the leopard thought or panther.

Hmm something wrong there, let me fix it.


I bought the brown bear and love it so much, the bears run animation is just Perfect!. My bears buttocks are mesmerizing, and If I hit prox-det before charging into battle the Green alliance just stands there in stunned awe as "Prox-Bear" sashays towards them!!!

Blue Robes looks decent, but in general all these male costumes look like pyjamas.

I never understood how a game studio could sustain itself by selling fluff for absurd prices. This isn't anything personal it's just really surprising to me that these personality types exist in such numbers as to sustain such a whack business model.

I could personally never buy this garbage and it's really hard for me to wrap my head around people who do.

Just look at these forums light up about the new crown store items. It's kind of disgusting TBH.

Everytime I look at these stupid cat and bear mounts and costumes it reminds me of where ESO's priorities are rather than fixing my DK and TEMP and balancing the game...

Good job ESO merry xmas!

I totally agree.. Not only that, they don't make ANY of it earnable in game. But i guess thats the way it goes when you release a game not ready, and then are forced to go ftp, btp or whatever else you want to call it.

What personality type is that you're talking about? Is it the poisonous kind that comments on someone else's post to belittle them? You see people having fun and you have to rain on their parade? Your comment is disgusting.

I'll take a baby netch with a side of forum rage when the Crown Store advert box pops up again.

I like supporting ZOS because I enjoy the game, even if I disagree with some of the changes they make. Because I subscribe I receive crowns each month, might as well spend them. No need to act like this and get derogatory. This is a ROLE playing game, some people like to actually play the ROLE and having costumes that match your idea of what a character would wear is nice.

However they should also be available to be found in game, I liked how DC Universe Online allowed you to save every armor in the game and you could pick and chose which armors animation you preferred to wear over the actual item.

P.S. Cash shop is OPTIONAL, don't be so judgmental of what other people do with their money as some of us actually make enough money to spend a little on "stupid" things.

NewBlacksmurf

hmmm, glad I blew some cash on the Crowns deal.

Hmmm....maybe enabling a blood suckling business model ruins other people's fun?
Just a thought.

@Xeven

I'm not going to actually buy "everything". It was just to show some enthusiasm towards the new line of goodies.

I'll probably buy the Corseted Riding Outfit and maybe the black panther. As well as the baby netch, i've been waiting for this one for a long time.

I do also like to support Zos because technically i would still be paying monthly for this game if there was a subscription.

Just a thought, don't buy add-ons you don't find valuable? I play drums. I buy the equipment I do because it suits my needs. Is there more expensive equipment? Yes. Is there fancy-looking equipment with questionable utility? Yes. Do I spam the drum companies' message boards when they make those products? Never. Do I find forums where people are excited about new drum products and call their enthusiasm disgusting because I have some personal issue with the drum company making money? No, I'm not a sociopath.

Re-skin, Re-skin, Re-skin.

I hate to add to the list of people saying negative things on this forum, but I really wonder if Zos is trying to cover every cat species with the Senche mount before thinking of something creative.

(and I know these Senche mounts were from A WHILE ago, they're just resurfacing.)

Its not so much the bear's run as it is your characters riding animation that makes it so bad.

P.S. Cash shop is OPTIONAL, don't be so judgmental of what other people do with their money as some of us actually make enough money to spend a little on "stupid" things.

Sorry, but the original complaint is legitimate. It's ZoS's way of controlling the economy so you have to buy "extras" off the crown store. It becomes less and less "optional" when drop rates for motifs and such are intentionally low and other items are simply unattainable (or craftable) without crowns. I'm a max crafter, but I can't make a dress? I'm a max provisioner, but my XP potions only last 30 min (even with the extra time passive!), but I can't make a 2 hour pot like the scrolls on the crown store?

The crown store does affect certain parts of the game in a negative way. But it also makes money, so it's not going anywhere. Just sad, that's all. Having everything be attainable or craftable in game is what makes the community interdependent. It gives your crafter or your looted items more value. But much of that value is now simply purchasable with real money.

No, that is an extremely short-sighted goal that will fail over time. The goal should be to create a sustainable MMO. The best MMOs have a dedicated playerbase, the fact that they provide monetary support is a side effect of having a quality product.

If Bethesda wanted to just make money then they would have been far better suited creating a mobile card game with micro transactions (see TES:Legends).

I'm curious as to what the diff is between the black panther and the previous black senche mount is. I'm a bit dissapointed as the black senche was limited so very few people had it and I felt special having one. Now my special-ness will be diminished QQ



but kidding(QQ) aside - those are all nice. I think the 'male' costumes are a bit meh. Could we have a kickass adventurer equivalent to the riding corset instead of silks???

MuddledMuppet

I won't be buying anything but to anyone buying this stuff...

good on ya and enjoy yoursleves!

Anyone lambasting them for doing so, sort your OWN priorities out instead of having a dig at other peoples. You really don't think that the staff involved in doing optional cosmetic items are the same people working on balancing do you? And these are also the same people doing bug fixes and patches I guess huh? I bet the Zenimax jobs section must make for some interesting reading:

Wanted: Developer for Zenimax Online, applicants must posess skills and knowledge in 3D Modelling, an art degree, a business degree, be proficient in high level advanced netowrk structoring for massive online gaming, hold coding qualifications for all levels of games programming, have extensive UI development experience with at least two years of marketing.

There are several pc transfer's on console who have the leopard and black panther mount's. I guess they are feeling the same thing.

The mount your thinking about was the black spotted senche. http://i.imgur.com/xatWDML.png

So it is unique for the time being just like the leopard mount is which is now getting introduced to console players for the first time, pc players second time.

Every senche mount is just a re-skin. I'm not ashamed of this, in truth there are many types of variation's of this kind of animal in our real life's. It may be seen as lazy but Zos has to prioritize only a select amount of staff to do these sort's of thing's. I'm betting 1-3 people actually made all the senche's.

I personally bought the lioness senche but i really wanted the pure black panther. Glad its being released. I even passed on the spotted black one.

LostRedden

all the men's cosmetics suck this time around, sorry ZoS, I like everything else though.

Thanks for this. I got p.o.'ed because this is another thread about the CS that just got taken over by negative comments. Someone is excited to get a polar bear and the creeps all attack.

NobleNerd

This is how I feel about most of the items in the crown store.

As a PC transfer to PS4, I am actually excited to see everyone get the chance to get the Panther mount on PS4. I have folks in PvP will come up and check out my Panther while I am sitting on it. Now those folks can ride one of their own. The mounts skin color is very very pretty looking. I primarily ride mine to try camouflage myself in Cyrodiil
