i can't stand that popup either, but if they didn't remove it today with 4.06, then i wouldn't expect it to be removed until the next patch maintenance, which would probably be this coming monday

It is annoying, No Thank You will fix it when it gets updated... I feel for console players though

Once per day or account login is plenty.

I actually used to read the one that popped up on login every few days. It had information I didn't already have. This shouty thing every time I log into a different character, I'm already clicking closed (with annoyance) just as quickly as I can. Advertising and communication fail.

IMO even once a day would be too often; only having it pop up when new things are for sale at least has something resembling utility.

The daily login rewards will be there from 5 June, so the "once for a day" is reasonable.

That's the point of the daily login rewards...

...they aren't really there to reward us all for our ongoing commitment to the game. They are there so that ZOS has a plausible excuse for throwing a mid-screen Crown Store advert at us.

Want to prove me wrong, @ZOS_GinaBruno ? Then make the login screen just about the daily rewards. Remove the Crown Store advertising from it.

Yeah... I didn't think so either.

More then likely they are listening but probably being trumped by higher ups as too bad, it stays. thus they cant comment on it. Too bad too. After the third day of this enough is enough. Old way was fine "show me it and when things changed". Now it is every character every load? Nope, screw it, they are just being greedy. Not buying anything more till it is back the way it was. (Ok, keeping my ESO+ but not buying crates or anything. Hate when things are forced down my throat. )

Sorry @ZOS_GinaBruno , Worst business decision your company ever made.

I just installed and configured it, works and this annoying piece of garbage attempt at force feed marketing is banished.

This was slammed by tons of players in the pts and still they just ignored our feedback and incorporated it. Sad to see that players' feedback makes not a single bit of difference.

Anysra

Annoying indeed!!!!!!!

I hope they will make a toggle option for this one too. AND for that annoying Weapon GLOW effect!!! SUPER ANNOYING.

Nah, It's the new meta

I copy paste my comment from another thread, nothing different to add here.

Not only it's intrusive and annoying, it's also utterly counter-productive for them and that's why:

while before I gladly used to check the new items in the Store at the window showing up, now I blindly close the window (immediately) and I'm already accustomed to do so by now, hence I'm totally missing if there are new items for sale or special offers and the situation won't change in the slightest.

Good job, what marketing genius of yours thought about that?

Really @ZOS, enough with this foolishness.

Thx for the link, I really hope I can get rid of this crap already.

The end is near. On the PTS they said this was some kind of reward window. Haven't seen any yet, but what I do expect to see soon is a car ad or a insurance ad. Maybe Taco Bell will want to advertise here. We all know the companies that like to spam their ads on the net. This is ZOS showcasing their ability to spam their customers. This is a big disappointment but I think the biggest slap in the face is still to come. Stay tuned....

I honestly doubt this now. At first I was willing to give Gina, Jessica, Jason etc. the benefit of the doubt and assume they were just in the usual Community Manager role of having to give out unpleasant news because they had no choice as ESO was new and things were changing fast.

Now? They've had a lot of time to either make the community's feelings known, or walked out the door. Neither seems to have actually occurred. On which basis I can only conclude that either ZOS has them shackled in a dungeon somewhere, or they really are at peace with it at this point.

The old way wasn't fine. I pay a subscription to play this game. This means that every time a window pops up and wastes some of my play time, I have literally paid ZOS for the privilege of them showing me adverts for Crown Store rubbish that I will never buy.

That neither was nor is fine.

It was barely tolerable in its previous incarnation. This is just plain insulting.

Please remove it or make it on first log in of the day at the very least

Please disable ads for stuff I already own. I'm standing in Summerset, why do I need to see a full page ad trying to get me to buy Summerset? Really? Is your programming that unintuitive that you can't tell what stuff I've already bought?

I can't agree more. It's annoying enough to get a giant ad on every login for every character. The fact that the ad is for something in already own is much, much worse.

Eventually ESO will acknowledge us on this. After they get their week of cramming it down your throat.

This thing is driving me NUTS! I already login much less than I used too because ZO$ is driving me away but now I see this damn whole screen POS popup EVERY SINGLE TIME I log in on any character? This is annoying AF and HAS to GO ASAP! This is now making me want to login even less than I already am. Way to go ZO$, FFS what a joke!

at the very least it should recognize IF someone already has it and not display it to those who do.... OR show it once in a 24 hour period for the entire account .... instead of EVERY time you log in while swapping characters

I agree. Worst, unethical marketing tactics deployed thus far.

I had no issue with the way it was before, but there are larger issues than the replacement of advertisements.
• Don't advertise items already purchased - fix the drop down in the Crown Store so that "items I've purchased" (appropriately) do not display in the Crown Store. This is not a programmatic mistake, but unethical marketing that could cause a community member to make an unnecessary purchase
• Pay-2-Win - note: I had this discussion with my guild, and I may be misinformed about the research scrolls. I had no issue with the strategy of the Crown Store prior to Scalecaller, but now I fear the game is turning into a Pay-2-Win environment that will not only divide the community, but poison it with the addition of Gifting and the existing cooldowns on research scrolls (limitations on earned in-game items). Gifting... is the huge issue here. Toxic effects from this will lead to an increase in scams, bots, farming and disruptive community behaviours that are completely opposite of what this game was built on. We have amazing players that not only care for the game in its entirety, but care for its community as well.

I'm considered a "whale" who is ZOS' ideal customer, but like I said, I don't believe in the recent manipulations. While Crown Store items are still typically considered a choice, the cooldowns on research scrolls (for example) is a push to limiting free-play activities. And this is just the start.

This may not seem like a huge change (or issue) for the community in its infancy, but if you really think about the effects this has on the future of ESO... it is dangerous for both parties.

Please share, support, and add your own opinions.

Yeah, I don't even understand why they allow this. You know the cash for gold market will take off like a rocket. Just a matter of time before zone chat is filled with "Gifting (crown store item) for gold, whisper with offer", etc.

It's a shame this game is becoming so seedy. What's next.... free Diet Pepsi banners for your house, or double speed mounts with "Verizon" tattooed on their hind quarters?

Disney characters as pets and mounts.

Honestly, I am still thinking they have another game in the works. I think they are experimenting with different ways to monetize their new game and are using ESO as the test bed to see how different ideas work. A lot of people wanted Crown item gifting, and I think they want to work out the details with ESO so they can have that in their new game on launch day.

The marketing team should consider what it would be like to get a full screen ad on their phone every time they unlock it...

Especially if it shows an ad for the model of the phone they're unlocking.

3/4 screen, every time, every character, rude, obnoxious and insulting

Many thanks to those who made the nothankyou add-on .... ZOS you scr#wed the pooch with that ridiculous pop-up screen.
