Dwarven Apex Mounts Are Amazing!

Ch4mpTW

I absolutely love my new Dwarven Wolf mount. For some odd reason, I have amazing luck with Crown Crate RNG. Yet horrible luck with Maelstrom Arena RNG. Lmao. That's 2 seasons so far I've gotten whatever mount I was aiming for within the first 15 crates obtained. Storm Atronach and Dwarven, as Wild Hunt mounts looked a bit too iffy in my opinion. Lol. I am not Groot.

Welp! Time to park another beautiful mount at my island. Thanks ZOS! Your Battlegrounds may be an absolute mess, but your fluff items are A1. Keep up the good work art team.

1 question when you "park them at the island" can you still ride them?

Unfortunately no, although I wish I could. The island can be annoying to roam about, unless you're a stamina build or a Sorcerer.

Eh, I'm not a fan of the over-the-top style mounts they've been releasing. The "special" mounts are no longer special now that pretty much everyone has a glittery glow bear mount or a dog with laser beams coming out of its head.

So why don't you park boys and girls on your island instead?

I thought he meant ride them around the island. Lol. Yeah, if you stow any mount there you can still ride them about in any area that allows you to mount up. It's not like once parked there, they are gone from your collectibles.

I got the Vitrine Dwaven Wolf. I love him.

Just another of ZOS's mounts that messes with the legend of the Dwemers. Now you can ride on everything, if ZOS decides to create it for sale. No matter if that's right for the Lore or totally against it, they do not care anymore. The money is what matters now which is sad. Be happy with those odd mounts, I admit they may look nice, but it's not exactly the ESO style - we should not be able to ride Dwemer machines.

"First 15 crates"
As if even buying 15 is okay lmao

I'm hearing people have already spent over 10k crowns to maybe get a mount and have got absolutely nothing.

Lol who are the bigger fools here? ZOS or the customers?

Oh! Great idea! I got the Dwemer Bear mount, and it just doesn't suit me. But I have Hundings, and in the stable area, I have a giant cage in the middle section. That is where Mr. Bear will be going tonight.

Acadia76

I just got the pack of 4 crates with crowns I had left from getting eso plus.

Grats for your (crown crate) luck! And sorry for your (VMSA) luck!

In the end, it's all about luck, nothing else.

I hate you..

I want it...

I'm more jealous that you got the bloody sweetroll

Bruh, I got the sweetroll and the wolf. So now I'm sitting on like 700-something gems without an idea of what to spend them on. I also got a lot of costumes and stuff. So all and all, it was a VERY successful series of 15 crates.

Edit: That Cinnamon Toast Crunch-looking mount is definitely drawing my attention, however. And I noticed it has a black saddle and reins, which makes that whole color combination even more appearing and attractive to the eye. I don't know though, Bruh-Bruh. I might have to save them, or I might have to go for that striped wolf.

But have you gotten one of the super rare Nyx Hounds?!

I was on the train when I saw this. I laughed so hard people stared at me.

Nice.

I know you saw my last post about me being a whale. Here's food for throught.

Me and a buddy who both lived on eso for months and months together, both bought only one storm atro case. And guess what? We BOTH got a apex mount on our first and only crate.

I truly believe people like myself, and you, who play a TON are given a higher rng on this type of thing. They know if you are in game using these new flashy items it encourages others to also purchase because they see it and get jealous.

Look up about how mobile games do this exact thing (enhance rng for whales as advertisement) and how some even have people specifically to cater to those whales. I assume it's what's happening with you, as it happened with my and another who also played pretty endlessly.

Same can be said for how well customer service treats us. I've seen you post about that before as well, and I also had great experiences.

Again I had 5 master anglers, and played for thousands of hours on Xbox. I have my main that still has nearly every ach complete and I haven't played in a few months.

I got the dwarven horse out of my second crate. I didn't buy the crates for the chance of getting an apex because I thought them to be underwhelming and I refuse to believe the proud dwemer would ride on something that goofy. But... I kinda like my horse. It makes annying squeaking sounds and when I use it's special move I definitively electrify my crotch but still... I kinda like that mount.

One of these mounts should be a reward for completing one of the difficult vHOF achevs and another for one of longest time consuming morrowind achev , so we have the excitment of doing them not some *** title.

@N0TPLAYER2 You might be onto something, and I can think of numerous occasions where customer support really came through for me.

For example when I threw a tantrum (which I'm very sorry for) about me thinking my furnishing items had disappeared, and @ZOS_GinaBruno came to help me out and recover my items from the house in question with the quickness. Like there was little to no time wasted at all. And even with that having been so long ago, I still am incredibly grateful and thankful to her and the customer support team of ZOS. You still the real MVP Gina, and if there is ever a way I could return the favor. Please do tell me how. But yeah, I can't say I've ever dealt with an automated response, or half-assed employee when I took an issue to ZOS.

As for crown crate RNG luck, I don't know. But hey, if thar's the case I am not complaining. I'll happily support a company that is going of their way to look out for me. Granted I still have numerous issues with balance currently, and how much of a mess Battlegrounds is — that's besides the point. The point is that ZOS has shown me some love in regards to crown crates and customer service, and I sincerely appreciate that. Whether it's just coincidence or intentional is neither here nor there to me. I'm just appreciative of it all, to be honest.

Yeah this is false. I opened 15 during first season and the free one at Morrowind release. Nearly all junk. It's just rng. I have played this game for a very long time. Time played isn't a factor. That would be something absurd to program in.

As for customer service it has mostly been good.
