Storm Atronach Transform is a huge dissapointment for me.

    I have no intention of purchasing the atronach but when I read the article and saw the photo had no idea that it was a short term effect.

    If that wasn't made clear then I really think that it is poor communication on ZOS's part in not making it clear.

    I know that I would feel that I didn't get my moneys worth from it if I had gotten it.

    Well, back in the day they refused to ever make capes making up excuses about straining the servers, but they had no problem with One Tamriel Update with removing the barrier that had 3 faction instances for each zone, now everyone is in the one zone, and dueling non stop.

    So i doubt servers were even a consideration in anything.

    The capes are an animation issue too. But if you can have people running around using the Kollopi essence with the particles that has why not make the atro transform a skin

    I actually don't know what this Kollopi essence thing is but i was refernecing cape as my point was that since ZOS are just ignoring the servers anyway and making choices that stress it, then I really think they didn't even think about it as part of why this Atronach Transform is a 10 second thing. I still think it should have no limit to its duration.


    I just think they naturally came to such a terrible decision on how to implement the item without the need to consider other factors. Just as they have done so with other updates.

    Although I have to say that they don't capture the lightning effects, it looks much better in game.

    I would even pay 400 gems to get this as skin on my magicka sorc, would fit her so well

    Thanks, i'll try that. If it at least to have it on record that that while the thing is actually awesome, it's execution surely fails.

    Of course they don't answer the actual topic.

    At this point i can only assume people like @ZOS_GinaBruno , or @ZOS_JohanaB don't like me with how many times i have tried to tag them for info anything before spending any money and never get anything, but check any topic shortly after and you can see them censoring people.

    Even when ZOS appear in a topic you make that only they can answer but people get it locked by triggering their over-sensitive rules they lock it, ignore the topic, and then you get in trouble for remaking the topic.


    Why do we even need so many forum staff anyway? Replace some with actual devs and forums won't need to be so heavily censored because people would be able to enjoy the game.

    I activated the item and was like, "Oh, okay. Then it stops, and I say 'that's it?' Looks cool, but why is it a memento?" So I agree, and I won't be falling for that store nonsense again. I have better things I can do with my money, than to waste it on temporary vanity. I'm just really tired of the constant stupid decision making that seems to be a theme with Zen.

    The amount of people who say this, though. Even the number of people who had that PAWS sig and claimed they hated the idea of gamble crates that are clearly anti-consumer and a bad idea to purchase, then went and purchased 15 packs or more...
    If you're the kind of guy who already bought Crown Crates when everyone knows they're buying something completely random and unknown, then ZOS can be fairly sure you're highly likely to repeat this whole process again next Crown Crate season when some new shiny cosmetics are shown off.

    You can get angry about this all you like, but unless you make the smart decision to never throw a single penny at these Crates, they'll keep coming and the vast majority of players will continue to be disappointed with what they get.

    Same, it's so good others told me it's not a polymorph/skin before I purchased crowns to go for it. That would've been a major letdown.

    Every business should have a good model.
    It has been said by some that Microsoft is one such business.

    Is ESO following this model ?

    Once Microsoft had an advertising slogan, now discontinued.

    It is possible this has now been adopted.....

    "Microsoft: How much are you going to pay today?"
    "Forums are like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea.
    massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of
    mind-boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it. ”

    Tomorrow... Tomorrow does not look good either.

    82. Victory laps after killing the dragon with my 1d2 bow is considered in poor taste.
    83. My gnome does not like big butts and he cannot lie.
    84. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying a 220lb pull crossbow.
    85. Not allowed to talk my fellow inquisitors into buying an industrial strength flamethrower.
    86. Not allowed to make a superhero with a 99% chance of dodging even after the -10 penalty for a successful called shot.

    The only thing that comes from gamble-boxes is regret.

    And yet even knowing this, many people still partake. I just do NOT understand it.

    Although I wasn't against the crates as a whole, I decided not to buy any because I saw little value in them - unfortunately like housing...

    The difference is that I can honestly say that I haven't indulged.
