January Showcase?

✭✭Once again, basic pattern recognition can tell us it's most probably coming on monday or wednesday, as almost always. There's really no point in asking for it on saturday.
I would shoot more for wednesday since that's the day the Crown sale ends. They probably don't want to give people warning on what's coming when they can stock up on cheaper Crowns.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Dwarven Crates since there will be a Tribunal event this month and Stone Eagle Aerie."I bear the cruel weight of certainty. Total, absolute, relentless certainty. People rarely comprehend the luxury of doubt... the freedom that comes with indecision. I envy you."

Aaah, I love this forum.Yes.
Edit: Also, it's nice to see the great 'Crownstore Showcase When???' thread tradition is still going strong in 2021.

Because there might be last minute changes and people on this forum gets unreasonably pissed when "ZOS goes back on their word", ie not puts something in crown store that was advertised. So considering *gestures towards the forum population* I understand doing this the manual way.
As someone who has worked with PR and community management, autopublishing is the tool of the devil to be used as little as possible because *** always goes wrong and you spend 10 times longer putting out fires than you would have doing it the manual way.3 -

Really? Are they that bad?
I've bought everything i need except dlc now, zos are going to have to really earn cosmetic sales from me from now on. Got enough for the 3 story dlc's im missing, and the elseweyr collectors upgrade which looks good when im up to it.
Its a dare to tempt me to get anything else. Would have to be a new skimpy outfit.. and a really good one too.
Also going to be completely ignoring 2021 content given i just hit morrowind and have 2 factions in the base game to go even. Was going to do that for this year even, if it wasn't for the free house in the event. Have one of those now too so they can't use the same gag twice.
EDIT: They can also keep their 400 gem rabbit i don't care anymore.Edited by winterscrolls229prerb18_ESO on January 2, 2021 1:43PM1 -

I really hope it's going to be a direct purchase or a Crate drop at least. 400 gem exclusive items are scum extraordinaire... 2 -

I've never worked in this sort of industry but I have to defer to your knowledge. I do think though that there are three weeks were it can be decided what goes in the store and you could just leave it decided once it's done. I guess they know what they are doing but I hate waiting.0 -

Except there are almost always last minute changes. Something new that the devs are working that's supposed to go in the shop, but doesn't get done in time so they have to pull the thing from the showcase.
I don't think you know how many absurdly close deadlines there are in the gaming industry. It's positively ridiculous. I know a few CMs from other games and often stuff can be changed five minutes before posting, even five seconds. Nothing is decided with any finality when it comes to stuff like this three weeks in advance.
Major expansions? Sure but even here there can and are last minute changes. Stuff like what goes on sale, or what is put in the store? No.3 -

ZOS actually confirmed that they do pre-plan Crown Store releases ahead of time. I'm not saying there can't be changes if needed, but that they do pre-plan and pre-schedule their monthly offerings. There is usually a limited number of items they will offer, and they plan those around events and such, ahead of time.

During our last ESO Live, one of our viewers expressed that they'd love to see some of the previously released houses return to the Crown Store in December so they could gift them to their friends. I said I thought that was a great idea and that we'd pass it along to the Dev team.
When we pass suggestions and ideas over to the Dev team, that doesn't necessarily mean they will happen and in many cases they don't or can't due to any number of reasons. So while we did pass along your suggestion, the plans for December were already locked in. The team did think it was a great idea, though, and is keeping it in mind for the future.Edited by bluebird on January 3, 2021 8:56AM0 -

The big news for many people will probably be that Markath is going to be discounted from 25th Jan - 1st Feb, Midyear Mayhem is confirmed to be happening at some point because event tickets will be on sale, and Grand Torpal Hideaway and Linchal Grand Manor will be available for a short time.
I might get the logger costume, depending on how it looks dyed (it looks nice, but also like it's going to have annoying undyable sections) and I might get the Whispering Claw Senche-raht, depending on how she looks in the game.PC EU player | She/her/hers | PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!

I'm excited for the Sentinel Arms Pack. Not a lot of the Monster Sets match pre-existing themes well, but stuff like the Sentinel and Engine Guardian (And Stonekeeper eventually) are perfect for the Dwarven, Refabricated, and Arkthzand motifs.
Disappointed that Stone Eagle Aerie still isn't coming out this month though.Edited by B0SSzombie on January 4, 2021 9:26PM0 -
Well, its a practical zero for me but a little bit better than last month, at least the thumbnail for the imperial house looks amazing.
Can you hide the hood for shrikes outfit?
Its odd how they're just advertising the dlc on sale. Doesn't it usually come with an event? Why not discount all the story dlcs? :P
EDIT: The bow in the event weapons looks great, but i already have enough tickets for that (and don't pvp so)..
EDIT2: I think i get it. There's still one day of the crown sale left, so to go the extra mile to disprove conspiracies they're putting all the good stuff in. Possibly.Edited by winterscrolls229prerb18_ESO on January 5, 2021 8:37AM0 -

Yes, you can hide the hood.

The Imperial house (not just the thumbnail) is indeed amazing. The garden and the house are slighly misaligned (so it will bug people who like things to be symmetrical) but otherwise it's a spectacular house, can recommend.winterscrolls229prerb18_ESO wrote: »Well, its a practical zero for me but a little bit better than last month, at least the thumbnail for the imperial house looks amazing.

Yes you can hide the hood of the shrike outfit. But be advised that the cutouts on the side are poorly made, and 'melt' into your skin is a distorted way. The fabric is also perpetually shiny, even if you apply matte dyes, and the gold trim is undyable. The Nibenese pack is much better made I think, and it comes with an extra head Adornment you can use separately from the dress. The gold and red parts are also undyeable, but the fabric itself is matte or shiny based on the dye.
As for the Bow, I don't think they will sell those for Tickets. The Ebonsteel Knight ArmOR pages will be available ingame and for tickets, the Ebonsteel Knight ArmS pack seems to be a Crown Store-exclusive complement to the style.3 -

Thank you for the info and pictures! I might have considered the Shrike’s outfit but those cutouts are TERRIBLE!
I am happy that several notables are returning and hope this is the start of a trend that will continue! I think both properties are great but the island particularly appeals to me! 1 -

Thanks for the info. Im a fan of skimpy outfits, but from your screenshots and youtube, the side sections are a little offputting.. especially for 2k crowns.
Will keep an eye out for the other one though... though probably a pass.
If i can't have the bow that's alright. Im using the recent crown store set that has fire burning the weapons for the torch effect at night, so it was only to add to the collection i guess.
