REALLY starting to bug me!

If they keep this up, we're going to have to become creative (IDA).

    Most games do it when you subscribe, it goes away.

    Load character into game, push ALT, continue as normal.

    They update it every time the Crown Store changes stock or they run limited offers or sales. It's a one time pop-up for each update and how their game makes the money to continue going.

    It's really not as bad as you're making it out to be and if something as small as this bugs you about the game you're really not going to enjoy much else in it considering some of the problems it has.

    Don't care. It takes half a second to get by it. Why let it bother you. They could be like other mmo's and hit you with it every chance they get, including e-mails.

    I agree the advertising is pretty obnoxious (it's not like we're going to forget where the crown store is if we actually want to buy something), but pushing the alt key isn't that hard. If it is, perhaps you could ask someone to write a mod that does it for you. :smile:
    Even on the internet, clear communication is important; it can be the difference between "helping your Uncle Jack off a horse" and "helping your uncle jack off a horse"; the difference between "knowing your s***" and "knowing you're s***".

    I have eso plus and they don't go away. But I don't see why OP is complaining about them. I see them like useful news on what crown store item is new.

    You don't see people complaining about the ads you get on Steam because they are useful ads, you WANT to know what new games come out. In the same way, if you have a bunch of crowns and aren't using them, I can imagine the popups intensify so they try to "help" you spend them.

    I'm fine with the frequency as it only pops up when there is new stuff, which is actually helpfull.

    Would you rather they have mobile game adds pop up? At least they're advertising something related to the game that probably most people will be interested in, just to see what's on offer even if not buying it

    Crown Store coding more important than fixing bugs/performance/balance issues. I'd expect a whole lot more of these pop ups and items in the coming days.

    They use it more then that. If youre not experiencing this, great. But please understand YEMV. Im constantly getting these updates for things that have been in the store for months. And while yes, its quick and easy to click out of it. It changes nothing about the fact that its OBNOXIOUS to people. I was fine with it when it would update for new things and only new things. But thats not how theyre handling it. It makes the game feel cheap. Every where I go online people complain about pop ups on sites....And yet for some reason we're just okay with it here in a Triple A game.

    Be happy that they don't have popups that you can skip in 15, 14, 13, 12....

    Never forget the horrendous Spotted Leopard Debacle of 2015...

    I couldn't find an English copy, but it was the same yellow letters across the screen that could not be removed...I think it went away after a time, but I can't remember, and I'm pretty sure that it popped back up at intervals if it did go away. Imagine your most epic fight ever...recording it for posterity...and right when you're about to land the killing blow...BUY THIS NEAT-O CAT FROM OUR STORE TODAY!

    *shudder* I'll take a single log-in ad that can be removed from the screen immediately over that any day.
