Siegemaster Warhorse is 4-day limited, when ingame it suggests it was meant to be earnable

May Crown Store Showcase
Still pretty shady even if it is earnable ingame and is just "Crown limited for four days" since the rest of the Siegemaster stuff has to be earned (I hate the idea of selling Crown shortcuts for "free" items to begin with, you know how I feel about Vamp/Wolf bite as a result). We need more earnable items ingame ZOS, not less =/

Like the holds and keeps that prevent enemies from vanquishing them, this warhorse is fortified to prevent foes from taking it down quickly. Join forces with this prodigious mount to besiege opposing forces and take over their holdings!
The Siegemaster’s Warhorse mount will be available in the Crown Store on all platforms for a limited time from May 7 to May 11 at 10am EDT.

✭✭Ouch. I never saw the in game bit but I assumed it would be earned in the same way as the other Siegemaster items. The 7 fragments part sounds like it may have been easier than getting a single proof everyday. What a shame.PS5 EU.2 -
Nirntrotter✭✭✭✭✭Yikes, if it turns out that they indeed changed it to store-only, that's gonna be embarrassing to say the least.5 -

✭✭✭✭Sounds like it might have been slated as a Midyear Mayhem reward, as the "7 collectible fragments" is similar to the pets we got from Murkmire and Jester festivals.3 -

✭✭It's definitely looks like "event 7-parts to collect thing" - in that case I don't see nothing wrong. People who have too much cash can buy it now, rest of us can just wait to event. They don't even try to pretend that it's just crown store exlucive because we have that description - so there is no any manipulation in that.PC | EU | DC |Stam Dk Breton0 -

Alternatively, they were originally going to release this mount with the same predatory mechanics as the Murkmire collectibles - make fragments random, extremely hard to get, and essentially force people to buy event tickets to complete the collectible. Frankly, if that was the original plan I'll take them more honestly putting it in the cash shop over the BS that was how they handled the last Murkmire event.4 -

Looks like they pulled it entirely (for now anyway) after that little earnable snippet got through to Live, seems the intention was indeed Crown only from now on.
I'm disappointed in you ZOS, not for the first time

✭I reckon they fully intended to make it earnable, but then had an epiphany - why go to the effort of implementing a fragment system that makes $0 when they can zero effort slot it into the crown store?
Disappointed also, actually earning something from PvP would've been a nice change in pace.PvP Defensive Set Comparison

Yup, I agree, why earn a free horse when you can pay them money for it instead? After all it caters to people that some how weren't able to manage their reward tickets and open their free boxes. You only had to buy tickets if you didn't participate every day or you decided to purchase all the berries instead as d of rune fragments. They saw the complaints and took it to the money bank and the playerbase suffers again.1 -

✭So they removed it and they'll put it back in crown store with a new description not mentioning that it'd have been earnable with fragments?1 -

I also suspect that this was supposed to be a reward introduced in the midyear mayham, but they decided against having a PvP event in the current state of performance, but since the mount was ready, they just pushed it to the crownstore.
Still, they handled that so badly with so little transparency that it now makes them seem malicious, locking away content that was meant to be free just for a quick profit.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.1 -

If that was the case then they should have just said that and it would have lost them less good will than this move did.

LOL What items did the Jester's Festival drop? You had 2 weeks to get the pig, there was no way to miss it even if they didn't baby proof the drop rate.
Murkmire wasn't bad no matter how much you want to keep telling yourself it was but they did see the panic in people missing out on a free digital pet and the conspiracies about how they're forcing you to buy tickets and they did what anyone in their position would do: They stopped making it free to earn and instead of "forcing" you to buy tickets they are forcing you to pay even more for it.

Don't pat yourself on the back because you think you "made it available" to everyone as you didn't, you just kept a different section of the base from getting it. At least we have a 100% drop rate on the jester's scintillator though 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄0 -

__________________________Backstories:_________________________
Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.
Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.
Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...
Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.
Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.
The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.
The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.
Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.
Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)
And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.
After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.
After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...
Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.
Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

Calling it a "bug" is an attempt to launder the change through the prism of technical problems (which players generally have a higher tolerance for) and obfuscate a change that has been made for monetization purposes.2 -

✭I posted this in the other thread about this.
I usually don’t post in the forums often, but this isn’t the first time ZOS has pulled a mount intended to be earned in game and instead made it a crown store purchase. That irritates me. I have 0 problems paying for a mount, but I’ve always believed there needed to be some you could earn in game.
The entire Orsinium main quest was structured and written to give the player a bear mount as a reward. Rich even commented on a post about earning in game mounts here stating that his hint was it would be coming with Orsinium.
That Seigemaster Warhorse mistake was a very specific mistake. No doubt it was originally intended to be an in game earnable mount.0 -

Jester's was eight days actually. And if the droprate was as bad as Murkmire it wouldn't be possible to get the pig without tickets. I didn't blow away my tickets during Murkmire and I still ended up with only a pet due to terrible rng. But whatever, stay that snowflake that thinks the Murkmire event was ok, despite majority thinking and proving otherwise. And keep bringing it up in unrelated topics.
