    Hopefully never, but most likely sometime this month or maybe December.

      The only ETA we have is "later this year". They were supposed to come this month but they are not in this month's Crown Store Showcase so we don't know.
      Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

      Meet my characters:
      Command: Do the thing.

      Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
      Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
      Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
      Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
      Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
      Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
      Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
      Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
      Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
      Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

      As much as I dislike the idea of the crates, I believe this reaction that the whole community is having about the game overnight turning to garbage is a little harsh. I think we ought to give ZOS the chance to go live before we deem them as game ruining...

      Probably around Christmas. Maybe have a crown sale right before to boost hype. Tagging people won't work, they don't know and it's not up to them. You'd have to ask Heather Powers but I'm not sure she ever steps out of the shadows to respond on the forums.

      pretty sure ZOS saw loud and clear the overwhelming negative reaction to them. Trouble is, how much is it under the devs control and how much is possibly/probably coming down from suits and marketing at the parent company or executive level?

      I don't know how ZOS structure is but this is the case with a lot of studios, from what I've seen. The people making the game and interacting with the people playing it aren't the ones that are usually coming up with the asinine marketing ploys and cash grabs.

      All we've been told is they were pulled from the PTS so they could make changes to them, and will be released (the wording implied this would be without further player testing) later this year.

      The assumption is that means November or December, which is looking to be December now since they're not in the November crown store showcase. But it could also mean any time up to a year from when that was posted.

      I'm kind of hoping the actual plan is to say they'll come out later, delay them indefinitely for 'improvements' and then quietly drop the idea all together because the response was so resoundingly negative, but they may not feel they can out-right say they're not going to do it (even though I think that would win back a lot of good will from players). But that's a long shot.

      Does anyone know when the crates will be going live?

      All I know is that they said "November," and given the Showcase for this month, I would say they are still planning to do it.

      You mean you are looking forward to spending a huge sum of money for a chance at the atronach mounts.

      Someone's results from that thread: apex reward was one of the atronach mounts.

      Total Crates: 52
      Crown Gems: 170

      Total Cards: 209
      Bonus Cards: 1 (Purple)
      Duplicate Cards: 34 (all Blue)
      White Cards: 121
      Green Cards: 31
      Blue Cards: 51
      Purple Cards: 4
      Gold Cards: 2
      Apex Cards: 0

      If you don't own an item, it is instantly bound to your account. If you already own an item, you get gems. If you already own a hat, for instance, you get 5 gems. Want to buy an apex reward with gems? Hope you get duplicates. Those cost 400 gems. Notice this person opened 52 crates. They ended up with 170 gems in trade. If the rng gremlins hate you and you continue to *not* get an apex reward [let alone the one you want; you might end up with the bear instead of the camel or senche or wolf] you'd only need what, about another 100 something crates to get enough gems from dups to buy what you want? At 400 crowns a crate, 100ish crates is...how much? If you're curious as to how many poisons/food/dups, hit the spoiler https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/3388541/#Comment_3388541

      And people thought the dro'mathra senche was overpriced at 5000 crowns.
