That black and red coloring, along with the pattern, will look even better on my Dunmer.

This is the only male costume I would consider from this pack.

Also, ESO is not F2P.

I love when people argue semantics this...

For the purpose of 99% of the discussions where it comes up, there is absolutely no functional difference between B2P and F2P.

Except for the whole not being free part, right? Are you seriously arguing that spending $60 is just semantics? I guess Fallout 4 is F2P too!

/sigh...

Most of the time, "F2P" is used in a discussion to distinguish a game without a sub model from with one. The initial price paid for the game is typically inconsequential to most discussions comparing sub-model games from non-sub games. For all intents of this thread (and most others on the forums), "F2P" is a perfectly adequate term to use.

Except that's not what F2P means. Furthermore, on PS4 F2P games do not require PS+ ($50/year) whereas B2P games do. Obviously the meaning of F2P implies far more than just the subscription model and in some cases includes certain conditions which are unique.

Words have specific meanings for a reason, ignoring them just demonstrates a lack of understanding. In this case the words free and buy do not have the same meaning and the difference is critical to knowing what a game requires. If someone asked you if ESO was F2P, how would you reply?

EDIT: To be clear, if ESO was F2P these are just a few changes I would expect to see:
1) A 2 character limit and 1 deletion every 24 hours.
2) A slightly different CP scale or a reduced cap, and enlightenment does not accrue beyond 3 days worth.
3) Cadwell's Silver/Gold and Craglorn are restricted and must be purchased (although you can still play through any alliance's storyline as long as that is your starting alliance), and each character is restricted to dungeons only within their starting alliance's zones and Coldharbour.
4) ...

You see where this is going, right? F2P implies far more than just a non-subscription model.

OP, that baby polar bear is mine...I love it. I love the male clothes on my females much better than the dresses so I'm sure I'll pick up at least the pajamas called eternity tunic, lol. I also like the brilliance brocade robes and think my sorc will be wearing those. Why do they think that we want our females in dresses like that (the ones on the females). Completely impractical for a fighting woman.

For all the people being...well you know how you're being, if you don't like how ZOS chooses to make money, you can always play a different game.

@Sevalaricgirl You dont wear dresses while fighting. I wear them when im shopping :P

i'm also wondering how good the pajama's will look on female's. The suits obviously look bad but these new item's sort of remind me of Japanese or Chinese wear. Not really sure what region they are from.

All awesome, me and my fanboy family will be looking great this Xmas and the crowns will be flowing like wine! Just need to complete the Orsinium costumes and then we can all go full polarbear. Bit weird though to have a cut off polarbear head as my helmet while riding one and having a baby one as a pet...

If you have a female character you can be Avatar Korra. #ballin'

They're backups for when you need to repair your armor, duh.

I would really love for them to stop adding **** costumes and start adding more diverse armors

Swundead

That Neth is mine!...and that leopard cat mount!

Yes I agree @GreenSoup2HoT everything will be bought ;D

I love the suits on my girls. I have the wedding outfit for my nb vamp Bosmer and the town suit for my DK who wouldn't be caught dead in a dress.

Acrolas

I still would have held off on the snow bear until mid-winter. It's like everybody forgets that it's still late autumn. And I suspect the mount will do all right but the cub will be a lot more popular. I really do wish the running animation on the bear were smoother. It really, really is like watching somebody twerk during an earthquake.

I'm all right with nearly eight months of exclusivity with the Leopard Senche. It's a great mount. I didn't get the Panther, but I'd recommend either of them. I probably won't get another Senche until there's one with an asymmetric skin, though.


And I cannot be the only one who wonders what Sheogorath would look like in the ball gown...

I finally get to ride Guenhwyvar.

After I pried her out of someones cold , dead hands of course.

Mettaricana

Getting that riding suit looks like sexy pirate wench gear.

Asherons_Call

This is awesome! I'm a collector of cat mounts and pets so will definitely be picking these up. Black fredas crowns well spent

Holycannoli

Everyone will be running around with netches, very few will buy the orc pajamas.

That's pretty much what's in store for December.

Personofsecrets

@ZOS_GinaBruno , the age gate to access the website is terrible. I can never pass it despite being well over what I'm guessing is the age (18).

I really wish priorities would be fixing bugs that have been documented, tested, proven, etc etc. for over 2+ months than to create this ... stuff. This is how games fail.

Elloa

I'm happy to have purchased some crowns during the Blackfriday sales. Because I'm going to buy a lot of those merchandises!

I knew there would be a Polar bear mount and pet, and was waiting for it (even though I also got the brown one). i'm glad they made the limited edition before the hollidays! I was affraid they would do it during the hollidays and as I'm gone i'd have missed it.

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!

Apparently you don't realize that the people working on these items are a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GROUP than who works on actual game mechanics. Sometimes the mentality of people just amaze me... always wanting to thrown in a complaint even if what they're saying does not even apply to the thread in question.

Sadly, you're right. I just find it sad that people continually have to throw in unrelated, snarky posts within non-related threads, thinking that the developers will pay attention. Honestly, the devs know there are problems with the game, but they also have their own set of priorities on what gets fixed, changed, etc... so I don't see a reason to continually beat them up about it when I'd rather try (I did say TRY) to participate in a constructive manner.

I do believe they are working on this, I think it is part of their "Barbershop" plans when they introduce the ability to make changes to existing characters. It is coming soon to ESO, but other than ideas for what to implement, it is still in development.

All I need is the ability to re-customize my characters.

If you are a character of mine, the main reason for getting deleted is that I didn´t like how you look..10 levels after I made you x3

That's what they said about the game going F2P.

(...or B2P, for the clowns out there that will jump on correcting me.)

So, you want completely different departments to all focus on fixing bugs? You're right. That IS how games fail.
