Wait, so there will only be 1 look for coffers and 1 look for chests?

Yes, all home storage chests and coffers look like the two images in the Crown Store Showcase article.

Loving the Nocturnal Shrike costume. Anything Nocturnal or Lamae and I'm sold!

LadyAstrum · January 2018

Horses, cat, costume. Want.

Edit: I think the pony pets hair is nicer than the actual mount, but I still like it.

ZoS, any chance of some two-person, three-person mounts in future? If WoW can do it....

Zaldan · January 2018

couple items I'd buy if I could justify giving money to ZO$, nice attempt on the Nocturnal costume but any chance of the full thing instead of the pg13 version?

SantieClaws · January 2018

The little cat. It looks like ...

This one!

Good grief 90% of the comments are negative and exasperating. What happened to you people?

Nothing. Our opinions haven't changed. The right questions is: what happened to the crown store?

Absolutely nothing; they keep delivering excellent content and people like you keep whining as you always have.

Absolutely nothing? It used to be that there might be one limited time offer in a given month. How many this month?

See for yourself: Every single thing that isn't Dragon Bones or update 17, excluding the polymorph.

We decided to stop accepting anti-consumer moves like this. Think about it: By the end of the month, only 1 thing from this crown store showcase will still be available (The Anka-Ra polymorph. Not counting Dragon Bones because it's fluff). This will come at the cost of, as Jayne_Doe said:

- 4 costumes, 1 mount, 3 pets, and 1 accessory. So, we basically have a net LOSS of new items being "permanently" added to the store.

This is absurd. For me, it's hardly even about what is/isn't in the showcase specifically: it's about the limited-time offers to pressure people into quickly spending, and the overall lack of content. 1 outfit, 1 hat, 1 pet, and 1 mount is disappointing, especially when there is SO MUCH that could be made.

Leave something for the gamble crates!

Slurg · January 2018

These are some nice items in the February showcase, and I understand that limited time items are part of your marketing strategy; I just wish you were adding more permanent items to the crown store to replace the items being retired.

Costume looks great ...

but:

Why is there yet another costume for female chars that is very revealing, while there is no costume for male characters to show off tattoos? The only ones I am aware of look like they're from a theme park - you'd have to want to look like a sailor or like a shaman to wear those.

I would really really really love to get a simple costume for male chars that I can use to show off one of the many fully body tattoos that I own. So far, I'm not even sure what the point of buying body tattoos is, if you can't see them while playing.

Purchasing through GameStop should give you a code for an additional 60 days of ESO+ and 3000 crowns. There have been some comments regarding needing Steam for the GameStop codes. I personally haven't run into any issues, but I never like to tell people to 'just trust me' when it's their money on the line. GameStop customer support is 1-800-883-8895 ; I'd contact them to make sure nothing's changed and you can apply this directly to your ESO PC game account.

It's still spending $30, but it's on the terms you want.

Those new research timer scrolls. Being able to cut the 9th trait wait time in half sounds like it's going to require a hefty crown payment.

Or a lot of writ vouchers.

Or you can just be patient for free.

Recremen · January 2018

Some pretty cute stuff coming out! I don't know if any of it really speaks to me in particular, but I know a lot of people who will enjoy these things!

Vanthras79 · January 2018

By Azura! By Azura! By Azura!

In all seriousness, I am just glad we have a release date.

CaffeinatedMayhem · January 2018

That's a nice horse I'd be interested in buying... if it wasn't limited time. Sorry ZOS, if you're going to make us shell out $30-50 for every Limited Time item, PLUS sub, AND make every item limited time... just not gonna buy. Smarter idea - rotate "permanant" stock more frequently, and not in crates. Let us BUY what we want, and not gamble. Or make items not overpriced fluff. I know you want income, but it's not going to happen by twisting my arm. Glad to know you can finance everything off probably <10% of the player base.

The answer is the policies of Zenimax Online Studios regarding their outlandish pricing and increasingly "limited" items.

Bevik · January 2018

Dragon pet, costume... Shut up and take my money!

thrillho5000 · January 2018

What, no shrike costume?

LET! OUR! TOONS! GO! TOPLESS!

I still want these for Cyrodiil. Planetside 2 had multi-person vehicles, and I'd love to see a Mammoth mount or Wamasu that you can carry group members in. Maybe make them like siege weapons where you spend AP to get them.

Stop it; you're making me want to see what that outfit looks like on my (male) Imperial Nightblade.

lordhakai · January 2018

@ZOS_JessicaFolsom Any word on the price range for the new hews bane manor

rosendoichinoveb17_ESO · January 2018

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Any estimations on when the new homes from PTS will be available on the live servers?

driosketch · February 2018

You know what, there are a lot of interesting things in the showcase this month, but damn sure are lots of timers running as well.

As always, I'll wait to see how these preview in game before spending any crowns, limited time or not.

Morgul667 · February 2018

Still no chinese hat

Please give me my chinese hat

Pretty please

The polymorph is also...meh. Of all the cool things we COULD turn into... why this? Let me know when there's going to be a ghost, wraith, mummy, lamia, troll, or....dare I say it?... werewolf polymorph.

Already have the werewolf polymorph... Came out few years ago.

tbh it wouldnt be bad, I like revealing male costumes if they are done right

Bleakraven · February 2018

Are you serious? Is that horse seriously sparkling or is that only for the image? I hope it does NOT sparkle in-game.
