"Crown Gem Exclusives"...
Lapin_Logic
✭✭✭✭✭
With this months (September 2020) move to multiple "Crown Gem Exclusives" I feel the Crown store Mutating, The CG Exclusives were initially dropped in as "Something for those who have a backlog of gems something to purchase with them" this in itself was a dishonest statement because anyone with Crown Gems can simply spend them on next seasons 400 Crown Gem Mounts in the crown crates.
The fact as this month has only 2 NEW items and they are Both Crown Gem Exclusive is shady, There is no way to BUY Crown Gems, instead someone like Me has to Purchase Crown Crates (From which I detest the aesthetics of the mounts and Pets) hoping I don't clutter my collections up with garbage while simultaneously hoping for BIG GEM item duplicates so i don't Haemorrhage money (That is SHORT due to the Pandemic) Just so I can buy a skin that I already have Crowns for But apparently Crowns have zero value in game in the future apart from buying Crown (Decon) Crates.
Game performance is already making it hard for us to love the game but we are sticking around, please don't kick us while we are down in the cosmetic shop too

✭✭✭Yeah, I'm really not a fan of Gem exclusives, and there are a lot of them this month. These used to be pretty rare things, and now it feels like we're seeing a gem exclusive every month (3 in this case).
Doesn't help that the gem exclusive things also tend to be more expensive than a corresponding thing - that Watcher pet was around 300 gems before, and pets are usually in the 40-100 range normally.
Also noticing that there's a lot less returning in the store as well - there are some things that haven't been seen in over a year. I guess they still need filler for the other crates.

__________________________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.

✭✭✭While I don't like the gem exclusives, I'm not surprised by the price. Gem exclusive mounts have always run between 400-600 gems. The only exception was the stick mount gem exclusive that was 350 (which is absolutely insane given the price of the regular stick mounts).- 600 Gems

kuma82✭✭✭It is completely ridiculous for such high gem cost exclusives. If they really wanted to sell them and make money just use eso plus exclusive to help. Allow eso plus users to just buy gem exclusives with crowns directly. You get an increase in eso plus members and people to buy crowns to just get the one item they want. You double dip but you allow people the option to be able to directly buy the item and not gamble for duplicates and items to sell back for gems.2

It looks similar to the red mount from the Summerset Collector's Edition. I call it the gummy bear mount. From the preview, it looks like it has a purple mist around it. I'm not sure if that effect lingers, since I haven't seen any out in the open.1 -
VoidCommander✭✭✭✭✭The real question I have for ZOS at this point is whether or not they think they would make more money by having affordable crown store items. Literally NO ONE likes using crown crates, and I personally think that anything sold in a crown crate needs to be offered in the crown store as well. It is unethical using a gambling method in a game that has no "gambling" mentioned anywhere in its ESRB rating. Even if you sold the crown crate items at an exorbitant price in crowns, people who were so inclined to buy everything anyways can still use the loot boxes. This way you can still maximize profits by exploiting those with addictive gambling tendencies, while still maintaining a positive relationship with your MUCH larger consumer base.
I mean look at how LoL does it. The vast majority of their skins can be purchased through loot boxes, direct purchase, or in-game currency, and it is one of the top grossing games that utilize micro-transactions because they don't deliberately cut off over 50% of their consumer base by only offering desirable products in randomized boxes. If you'd like to see/participate in a small research study I did on this, here is the forum link:

I don't know if I will have time to make video showcase while this mount is still in store, but the horse has epic summoning effect
Rune and big explosion (this can be seen in preview even without buying it). It makes Psijic Spectral Steed look very modest.
When I previewed it, I thought that this is creepy voice of the mount... Sadly, it was just the awesome sound of summoning - the horse itself has simple animal voice with slight echo (same as Psijic mounts)
It leaves purple hoofprints and purple trail when moving (purple trail is only when walking, not running though). When rearing up, this horse has no special effects - it really needs to use the rune and purple explosion when rearing up.3 -
ThisOnePosts✭✭✭✭✭It would be great if they at least added another type of Crown Crates (bring back one of the others from rotation) while they offer Crown Gem exclusives, because some of us have everything we want from the current Crates.
There are 3x Crown Gem exclusives by the way. The new skin says it's a CG exclusive as well (although looks okay tbh). This could easily wind up being over 1k crown gems in total so they should REALLY add 1-2 more Crown Crate types (again, they don't need to be new -- just bring back some from rotation since there are PLENTY to cover the entire year and then some from rotation).

I agree for a different reason. The Nightfall Crate mounts are very niche in design. I personally am not a fan of the decomposing zombie mounts, and I would love an alternative so that I can try to build up gems.2 -

I'm actually expecting the new Sovngarde crates to come out sometime this month. Based on the date Nightfall released (June 18) and the fact we get 4 seasons a year, it's really likely that Sovngarde will be out on the 17th...exactly the day that skin is coming out.
We're probably not going to get the notice until next week when the "7 days left" warning comes up (which is also right after the horse is done), and they usually show off the new crate in a news article two days before the new set releases.
Based on the datamines, the new crates look really cool. I'd of course rather everything be buyable without gamble mechanics though. I only like a few things from Nightfall so I haven't even bought any yet - I wish they still did the end-of-seasons sales...1 -

Oh, yes, I stand corrected! I was able to check it out today myself, everything you said is correct. It's actually quite lovely, aside from having no special effects on rearing, and that particular horse model being a bit squashed.✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0 -
