OK now what?

Basking in convenience, my fine fellow. Basking in convenience.

The problem with buying levels is that player's success in both pvp and pve heavily relies on knowing game mechanics and their class.
For example, I saw vr14-16 tanks who didnt know how to taunt and dds who pulled very low dps despite having gold gear and decent amount of cps. So I guess if a newbie will buy a vr char and try vet dungeon or vet pvp on their first day in game, he/she is going to be really disappointed.
I absolutely agree that leveling alts should be easier and less grindy. But I saw several examples of p2w games and I would hate to see this game turning into something like that. Simply because I like this game and hope for its success.

that premium start pack is abit over the top. and i'd know played enough mmo's.

change it to 50 xp scrolls, 100 potions+food, a random under 1500crowns mount and 20 of each riding lesson and i can see it being worth 5000crowns.

What about the convenience to be able to "ghost" in cyrodiil?, to be unaffected by PvP players, and to be uneffected to PvP players? This way, All i have to deal with are the NPC's and solo content questing.
Just a thought.

I'd pay up for that one. PVE flag - yes please

It would make scouting too easy. If this feauture is introduced, pvp players will find ways to misuse it.
Questing in Cyrodiil areas is not very problematic these days, as many gankers moved to more profitable IC ganking. If you choose a "buff" campaign of your alliance and do quests in off-hours, you'll probably never see an enemy player.
The only thing that might cause some issues with achievements is cave grinding

I was just drawing ideas from the forums, but new suggestions are welcome of course.

I don't love it. Cyrodiil should be dangerous as it's a warzone. I like to compare the situation to the one where there were those contractors who went into Iraq to try to set up new businesses after the war. Sure they went, but they had to bring heavily armed bodyguards just to get around. Cyrodiil should be no different. If you want to run PVE in a PVP zone, you should probably bring back-up.

Yeah, it would have to have an AP-earning block for X units time after using it and even then, I can see people rolling alts just to get around that like they did to drop troll camps.

Lucky Fishing Pole: Increases odds of catching rare fish by 20%, lasts one hour: 300 crowns

I wouldn't mind the Lucky Fishing Pole. It doesn't add to the chance of catching Perfect Roe which would be more gamebreaking than allowing a player to get an achievement and dye quicker. They'd still have to go to all those different zones including Cyrodil to catch the fish.

Speaking of fishing, something that isn't really progression purchasing/catch-up for cash but still a convenience would be a bait pack: 200 crawlers, 200 insect parts, 200 guts, 200 worms for 100 crowns

I can't see why anybody would object to that (although somebody probably will ). If it was just worms (which I sometimes run out of and can't find in a guild store at a reasonable price) I might even be tempted.

yeah I added it as a suggestion on the Crown Store forum.

I'd rather they find ways to make ESO+ more attractive. Crown store is a love it/hate it type thing. You're probably either going to purchase, or you're not. And if you love it, you've probably already covered yourself for next year's costs.

Like, if ESO+ subscribers could access one randomly-generated battle-leveled Daedric delve per day with enhanced XP and a quest you could share, then you're getting more into the spirit of subscription - paying to get something at a regular interval.

And it wouldn't have a map having been randomly created, so purists would love the exploration and sense of not knowing. And you're getting something "new" every day even if the elements inside are being creatively remixed and randomized by the RNGDJ.


Also, selling unique consumables can easily lead to getting cool items with a limited number of charges on them, which I don't like. Renting stuff kind of blows, especially if I want to use it regularly. At least with a pet, mount, or costume it's mine until the game goes offline.

Please share this on this thread about boosting ESO plus as well.

None of these. New content however I want.

Scroll of AP boosting (30% more AP gained for two hours): 600 crowns

Premium Starter Pack: Level 50 character with unique mount, pack of grand soul gems, pack of level 50 tristat potions, pack of level 50 tristat food: 8K crowns
Oky, how about, Only if you got 7/8 characters lv 50+ on your account ?

Shard Seeking Scroll: Instantly collect all undiscovered skyshards in your current zone (one scroll per zone): 1.5K crowns
Oh you mean Addons? I'm Sorry Consoles, just sorry. Honest.

Scroll of AP boosting (30% more AP gained for two hours): 600 crowns
... heck.. this one is pretty fair, actually...

Lucky Fishing Pole: Increases odds of catching rare fish by 20%, lasts one hour: 300 crowns
Just get some friends to fish with you.. it also gives way more than just a 20% increase , so ya know.

NPC Hireling: Hire a fighter or mage to accompany you for 2 hours (doesn't work in instanced group content or PvP areas): 200 crowns
Again, GET FRIENDS, dammit.

Hiring a follower? That sounds like something everyone would be able to benefit from, not just people who want to level their character. I'd freaking love to see that! Also followers to be hirable in-game.

OmniDevil

Premium Starter Pack: Level 50 character with unique mount, pack of grand soul gems, pack of level 50 tristat potions, pack of level 50 tristat food: 8K crowns

I only picked the one I did because, lets face it, it's most likely to make its way in before anything else. Other mmos have/are doing it. No reason for ZOS not to....

MrDerrikk

How about a "Insta-Nuke" item, that does 100k damage instantly and is consumed on use. Cannot be used in Cyrodiil, but is perfect for those pesky dungeon bosses that you want to take out. Only 6k crowns.

Just a thought.

addendum:
A "PvE" flag...which would also deactivate ANY PvP abilities, buffs, quests, etc to prevent it from being abused

Bad idea. Would add population to the serves and stilt battles if one faction had a bunch of PvErs. Plus would contribute to lag problems. Why can't you just join your factions buff server?

And complain about there being no content.

The rest are all a bit too unfair and unbalanced, the first two and the fifth are all I pray never going to be a thing -.- it's like ZOS saying don't worry about exploring the lovely world we spent years making. The PvP one just seems wrong to me, but I'm not a pvper, so can't really say. My choice therefore is the only one that is useless enough that people would buy it and it wouldn't break balance in any way.

This poll is why we need a dislike button option added.

Is there an option for "none"?

KingYogi415

the day this game is pay to win is the day i quit

Xjcon

If they added those to the game how would it effect me? I can't think of anything.

Nothing would force me to purchase any of them, but if I didn't have to spend hours running around after I hit max level to get things I've already found on my main I would probly spend some money.

Fact of matter is this. People only effect their own experience if they want to be lazy. If someone buys their way to end game they are the ones who would lose out on time played.

call0013

As long as the don't add item drop rarity boost I don't care

I just want them to make more stuff account wide like crafting,sky shards,lore books,achievements and mount upgrades(I am the sort of player that only wants to do that crap once)

I also wouldn't mind a crown shop crafting materials bank tab

How about... NO!
I am completely opposed to anything that allows people to skip the game story to make an alt.
The upcoming champion system that makes all alts "max level" as soon as they hit 50 is more then enough!

Shard Seeking Scroll

Nope.
Want the skyshards? Find the skyshards. I had a blast finding them from the hints in the journal... but I know there are more then enough "skyshard maps" flaoting around the internet for those who are less keen on exploration...

Maaaaaybbbeeee... AP gains can be a bit iffy depending on campaign situation. Still, just a weak maybe...

Now that one sounds like FUN! And has no effect on game performance whatsoever... which IMO makes it a perfect example of what should go into the crown store!

Meh. This is a MMO.
Want someone along? Look around you, its full of people! Join a guild, make some online friends, interact, do things together!
