September Showcase: Well, that was disappointing.

TheNuminous1

it would be great if they could just relase the high elf female coustomes that were datamined oh so long ago.

it annoys me seeing so many npcs wearing my ever auridon sateen gown. or the alinor twilight dancing dress.

i wish someone would make a list of all the datamined goodies we have never gotten. there is quite a good deal many things they could have added. sad to see such a small selection.

but i have spent way to much on crowns over the years. any month with a bunch of garbage like this is a good month for my wallet

With great sadness I must say that since the first Crown Crates season, the Crown Store offerings, especially their quality, have been going downhill. The most interesting items are now locked behind RNG... I'm disgusted.

As many people noted, there are probably many Crown Store items being kept until October/November. Most of them have been datamined and they are mostly Halloween-themed so it isn't surprising. Crowns will be relatively safe this month, although just think about it, October's showcase will most likely be full of items, and a new Crown Crate season.

I'm a bit disappointed that Linchal Grand Manor is a limited-time item, I feel like too many items are limited in the Crown Store nowadays, but fortunately the new skin isn't listed as limited.

wait... that's it? this is what i was waiting for?

When are the crown crates coming? That would help make up for the lack of stuff

I heard that somewhere around September 21-22.

October had better be good, that's all. And not locked in crown crates, either.

And is not like there is like two hair styles that was on the pts over a year ago. Honestly, what is so hard to put them at least on the crown store. MAking this a bit less bone. And not to mention, seeing emotes coming to the crown store like that is rather worrying. Feel like it will turn into the cartel market from SWTOR.

SydneyGrey

Did they forget half the showcase?

Keldheir

Well now. I'm actually a little disgusted.

Seems like the crown store devs are running out of ideas. I was hoping for more #tailoredintamriel costumes. If the skin costs more than $15, I ain't buying. I bet the mansion will cost 2 weeks worth of groceries, or one car payment on a 2017 nissan altima.

Oh no, they are not running out of ideas, there is so many items that has been dataminded. that has yet to be relased. They simply choice to not give out much at all.

It is a pretty nice house. I'll probably give it a pass though since the limited time houses tend to be priced pretty high. I might pick up an emote if they look good on my characters and aren't priced too high.

To the larger issue of Crown Store offerings, this is trend I've seen coming since crates were introduced. For the first time, I didn't buy any packs this past sale because sub crowns are now enough to keep me stocked.

SydneyGrey

They know we can't throw money at them unless they actually give us something to buy, right?

Sheesh... when they put loads of new stuff in, the forums go insane "why u rip us off ZOS?" or " why u not put your resources into the game?" blah blah.
They have a lean month and we get "where's all the stuff Grrrrr"
I'm beginning to think this forum community will never be satisfied.....

Actually, I think the real issue wasn't the number of items added, but how many were LIMITED. That's the real issue. I don't mind lots of new stuff added to the store (especially when they keep removing things), but the last few months saw at least 3 limited time items within the month.

This month? Three new items, which are totally pointless to me, but I know that some people are interested in the emotes or the skin. And then, a limited time house. That's it. And after they removed 4 costumes last month?

Some are saying that this means October will see a lot of new items, based on the datamining, but remember, most of that will be in the gamble crates, so there will most likely be little new added to the Crown Store, as they'll also have to have some limited time items as well.

The Crown Store itself is suffering from the gamble crates. It's great for people who like to throw money at RNG, but for those of us who want to purchase outright what we like, it's slim pickings. Ah well...saved crowns last month as I didn't end up buying the Azura pack or the dovah fly and this month...not one thing I want AT ALL, so saving them again. Probably won't be buying anything until November, since I don't care for Halloween, so none of the holiday themed items will interest me either.

I have been gradually losing interest in ESO over the past few months. This doesn't help.

I ran around the manor on PTS and it's nice if you are into housing. I bet October will be a lot bigger in the offerings, as they know how popular Halloween type items are.

It's a nice home but I think not being able to adequately decorate it would drive me insane so not sure I will get it.

Just because people want more stuff doesn't mean it's okay for them to price it extortionately.

But really, I barely buy any of their crap anyway. My point was that they're not even making it tempting. The skin, as usual, is butt ugly and just looks plain silly. They're trying to sell bland emotes that most MMOs include in the base game. The one nice thing they have will probably cost $200, which no one with sense will pay for. I certainly won't. Luckily ZOS has plenty of senseless players.

Like I said in another topic, I suppose it's still good for me because they're just saving me money by consistently releasing overpriced, mediocre crap.

Looeeze

Agreed. Worst month ever!!!!

kip_silverwolf

While the offerings are meagre, I'm kinda glad because it means my Crowns can go towards the house without me buying extra.

esp1992

I'm Somewhat dissapointed... but not gonna complain like the others!
At least I Saved Ship-Loads for Skeletal Crates!
MEAHAHAHAHA...>:)

(I'm actually always glad when the Crown Store is slim pickings because it saves me money, and I don't do Crown Crates. )

This time, the only thing I MIGHT have been interested in is the house....But since I can only designate one home at a time for other players to visit, instead of them being able to choose from a list of all my publicly available homes, what's the point in buying another property when I already have Grand Topal Hideaway? Also, the low item limit in housing in general definitely puts me off being a second homeowner. (My free apartments are storage-only.) Grand Topal is already pushing the item limit and still looks barely inhabited. Not to mention, all the "limited time" stuff like special houses always puts a bad taste in my mouth.

No new mount ! What do they expect me to walk everywhere

Pay for emotes No chance and not one crummy costume.

this was my question as well.

Lol at this showcase

Seriously, it's like Zeni said, "Our customers don't think we put effort into the game? Wait until they see this!"

ecru

Seriously, is this it? For an entire month we get a house that can only be purchased for 14 days, an emote, and a skin?

Wtf is going on? There is almost nothing on the crown store anymore. There are like 15 costumes, 10 mounts (4 of which are horses), the same hairstyles/markings we've seen for months and months, and some non-combat pets.. zzz.

There's nothing to buy. I have a lot of crowns that I bought during the sale, but I have nothing to spend them on. I won't be buying any more for a long, long time from what I can tell, and why would I?

There are also other categories missing that I'd like to see. Can we get some combat pet skins for sorc and warden pets? Pet builds are popular, tons of people would throw money at the store for those.

edit: I even have hundreds of gems with nothing to spend those on either. I can't imagine the amount of revenue ZOS is losing here with their tiny, tiny store selection.

SydneyGrey

I really wanted a new hair, since they didn't release one last month.

Hanzus

WOW, I was really hoping for some nice NEW outfits

I guess ZOS doesn't need much money, the game must be doing absolutely FANTASTIC! , no need for our money here folks.

What's that, ohh, perhaps next month will be full of stuff? oh yes, throw away chances to make money this month in hopes the customers will buy big next month, AWESOME business scene there ZOS .....sure.

(knock knock on ZOS's head)HELLO, MANY of us were willing to buy outfits...

SydneyGrey

Apparently their new strategy for getting people to buy crown crates is to starve us for content. LOL.
