Damn... these look amazing.

I'm guessing the extremely rare ones are once again not purchasable with gems? (grrr ZOS)

Some nice returning items as well, looks like a strong season.

kynseon

I wish you guys would have added more costumes

nice this:

Want to earn some of these creepy new crates for free? Log into the game and defeat any monster or minion every day, from Friday the 22nd until Sunday the 24th of September. Note that for the purpose of this event, each day begins at 12:00AM UTC and ends at 11:59PM UTC.


Just to be sure I get it right: I have to log in every day and kill just any monster, right?

Yes, any monster. Also note that player characters do not count.

This is a pleasant surprise. I just came back for a quick lurk of the forums but I will definitely update my launcher to get on this weekend.

I also wanted to say that I appreciated how you put a link in the article so people can easily check what time the event starts for them.

DBZVelena

Some PvE love, nice.

I'm just wondering when it actually starts. since i'm currently at UCT+2 does it start on friday at 2 am? Or on Saterday at 2 am? Or on Thursday at 2 am.

Timezones, such kitten.

red_emu

Can we get pictures of the cosmetic rewards?

@DBZVelena it will be tomorrow morning (tonight) 2AM for you. So you can log in any time after 2AM tomorrow and claim the first one.
So just get up normally and kill something.

This is Crown Crates done right. I was just saying to my guy last night that there wouldn't be *quite* so much bad will towards Crown Crates if you could also regularly earn them in-game, without shelling out real money with absolutely no promises of getting anything you want for that money.

I'm still not on board with Crown Crate stuff you can't buy with Crown Gems--that "you gotta gamble with your paycheck till you get what you want" BS doesn't sit well with me at all from a personal moral perspective. But being able to get Crates by doing certain in-game activities that don't require your bank account is something I'm cool with. And it would be even cooler if it were a regular thing, perhaps something you can get for some daily quests or world bosses or something like that. Something that would keep players active in places that otherwise tend to get abandoned when all the achievements are earned and a new DLC or "Chapter" comes out!

(And yes, the free Crates would tempt some people into actually buying Crown Crates, which is the entire point of these free Crates, let's be honest here.)

Looks like it, they're called out in the article. Good thing for me they're in the category of "wouldn't complain if I got one, have no desire to hunt for one".

I'm wondering what a "Murderous Strike" is... is that a memento? Or is it supposed to read "shrike" which would make sense for the spoopy theme? Not trying to be a knob, genuinely curious.

Looks like i'll have $0 on my wallet this next 3 months HAHAHAHAHA

Any monster of ANY map?

exactly!!

Khajiit has a theoretical question.

Should a Pocket Technician be rudely interrupted at work by the pocket owner and then violence results - will this count?

Also the Blade of Woe - this will count no?

Theoretical of course. Khajiit does not get caught ...

This is awesome, thank you

Tyrion87

I was hoping you add the Dark Shaman costume... it would fit the theme of this season perfectly

Question... to stop the confusion of last time...

is it the act of logging in that will count us in, or the act of killing.

For me this "starts" at 6pm. So if I log in at 5:45pm and kill at a monster at 6:30. Does it count... or not? Since I didn't "log in after 6pm"

Wasn't it five crates last time just for logging in?

Now I have to log in and kill a mob and only three crates?

What's the next step? One crate for a world boss?

Lol - I'm being a little facetious of course, it's great that there is an opportunity the earn some free ones, but I'm not going to applaud the appetizer too much

Nixhound vol 2 commence! Taking bets on what the Nixhound will be.


Feedback to the season in general - looks great, but of course now with the datamined next "fire" season I might just wait for that one.

NyassaV

Not bad... Kinda lacking on the costumes but whatever

SASQUATCH0

Are those first 3 apex mounts the super rare ones? Like the ebon dwarven senche etc.?

Nic727

What kind of monsters do we need to fight?

The act of killing the monster is what counts.

Any monster anywhere, as long as it's not a player character.

Thank you, you have been extremely helpful. I was getting all confused.

Crown Crafting Motif 47: Buoyant Armiger Style

That is all.

Edit:

Crown Crafting Motif 36: Dark Brotherhood Style
Crown Crafting Motif 47: Buoyant Armiger Style
Crown Crafting Motif 48: Ashlander Style

Did they really mean to include Dark Brotherhood Style? It would make more sense to include Morag Tong here...

beetleklee

Does this mean the Daemon Masks, the Plague Doctor Hat and Haunted House Cat will be crown store purchases instead?
Didn't see them in the lists.
