It began on Nov 21st last year, I believe; can we expect the same this year, or do we think it will be delayed? Would just like to know what to expect! The Crown Store Showcase said to expect an update on the sale later this month, but so far no word. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    They might just have more important things to be dealing with at the moment - and the forums might go insane if they posted about Crown Store sales with all the discontent at present 🤣🤣🤣

    Rest assured the team are working round the clock to ensure the Crown Store doesn't crash in the event of a sale.

    Rest well fellow ESO gamers in knowing that regardless of the many server issues and poor game performance that our limitless focus and resources spent on the Crown Store will continue to be our main focus and that the new servers specifically for our Crown Store are operating at above average expectations. Sleep well and please visit our store during log in issues and maintenance...

    If it’s based on the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday like the Black Friday sales retailers here have, then it would be on the 29th.

    Fridas is the Tamriel name for Friday. Black Friday is the day after American Thanksgiving (which is always a Thursday). This year Thanksgiving is the 28th, so Black Friday (and Black Fridas) will be the 29th.

    We will probably get info on it the Wednesday before, or on the day.

    You guys talking about how the crown store will always work etc.: it is exponentially easier to maintain a store than millions of lines of client/server code. It is also most likely worked on by another team. Your complaint is valid but the way you grasp at straws to connect unrelated things isn't realistic. In what world do you stop your revenue stream while another team resolves unrelated bug issues?

    To be fair, 'soon' in MMO-speak can mean anything from 'We're writing it now, we'll post it later tonight' to 'Next week, but maybe later. Soon(tm)' :grimace: (Granted, Black Friday is next week so I'd expect it next week at the latest, but still.)

    It's probably even running on a separate/smaller piece of hardware.

    As if the opposite will motivate them any more. That’s not how corporations think.

    Oh you stopped giving us money? Well this is a sunk cost, let’s write it off, get back a huge refund from the government and go ruin something else.

    Giving them money or not giving them money isn’t a motivator.

    I ain’t buying NOTHING this year! This year long crappy story ends with a bugged out quest! I can’t find that damn cat to do A Hero’s Song!

    So I can’t get the turd’s tomb. The final piece of that trash house is a crappier version of the first house I ever bought in Khenarti’s Roost.

    Forget about PvP. PvE is messed up to. I ain’t buying nothing else with crowns and definitely ain’t preordering the next chapter. I’m pissed.

    I've done it on 2 characters without any problems.

    It's not a quest, you just need to follow the cat and then talk to him. However, many people misunderstand that it happens after Southern Elsweyr's main quest, but you need to have done both Northern and Southern Elsweyr's main quest on the same character which unlocks the additional conclusion quest line for year of the dragons and the cat only appears after that.

    But have you done the Dark Aeon quest line that's after Southern Elseweyr's as well? You can start it in Tideholm after Southern Elseweyr's main quest only if that character has finished the Northen Elsweyr main quest. Cat appears after this final quest line.
