April Crown Showcase

NotaDaedraWorshipper

So it seems we got the showcase early this month, and it contains a lot of goodies that has been requested for a long time.

Like the long desired Wild Hunt Crates

And Treethane Ceremonial Dress


Official thread about the showcase: crown store showcase april 2021

Sadly none of the hairstyles or facial hair that has been requested many times over. Was hoping the Short Mussed Wave would appear.

This month is LOADED, I'm very excited!

FINALLY they actually put a preview out before the actual month starts. Is this the first time?

I've always hated that they wait until the first Whateverday of the month, personally.

Oh great, people can run around as spriggains. I can barely contain my excitement.

Cool stuff

But... Lakemire Xanmeer Manor, Deepmire Expedition furnishings, but no Xanmeer Crates ? Kinda weird...

Well they already have the Wild Hunt crates, which has been requested a lot and not been seen for years. Having two seasons return for a limited time in one month might a bit too much.

I'm hoping crown packs will be on sale in early April. It seems they have been during past years, which makes sense I guess because it's around the time of ESO's anniversary.

Load of ***** I already own

I'm loving the returns here - Wild Hunt and Treethane haven't been seen in ages! These showcases have been really great this year so far.

Still, echoing the complaints about the (continual) lack of Short Mussed Wave and other hairstyles. I'd love to know why they don't release them. Like if they're not going to, can they just come out and say "No, we want to make sure our NPCs are unique (now here is a costume from our primary villain of the year-long story, buy pls)" instead of making us sit and hope? And why make sure that one of the most popular requests is in the random NPC rotation for the Jester's fest so we get to see it literally everywhere?

I liked this months stuff more. The only thing I'm really excited about is Lyranth. Maybe the doom wolf if I decide to buy crates.

This is such an annoyance and it happens every month. Wish they would just release mostly new stuff but 90% of this stuff has been in the Crown Store before.

Makes me wonder, will the Kushalit Sanctuary be the Pet Rock's final morph?

What next, bear, wolf, flying imp polymorphs? Spriggan morph should have been scrapped, it's ridiculous.

I love the spriggan morphs. I also am really excited to get the wild hunt crates. There are a lot of things in there I want. I’m glad they are bringing stuff back. We also just got entirely new crates about 2 weeks ago. I also saw a data mine that showed a bloodroot wild senche that’s completely new. I’m also really excited for the new arms packs. I think this looks like a great month 🥳

I can't see why it's more (or less) ridiculous than the Factotum polymorph, and judging by how many of those I see running around it was a pretty hot-selling item. As long as players are retaining the "upright, humanoid" looking silhouette outside of things like Werewolf form and whatnot, I don't really see the problem.

Why do you dislike it so much?
(Not meant as an argument or anything, I'm genuinely curious)

I rather have a polymorph of a common existing creature like the spriggan, than all the other weird pumpkin monsters, undead creates etc we have gotten. Would love a wraith polomorph.

I’m excited for the spriggan polymorph — I love nature-themed magic! I would have liked even better the single-trunk version, but perhaps that would have created too many difficulties.

It’s certainly no more ridiculous than the necromancer goliath transformation (which really is ridiculous and ugly IMHO) or other polymorphs such as skeleton, factotum or Wraith-of-Crows. I don’t expect everyone to like it but I’m glad that it’s available for those of us who do. You do you and I’ll do me and it’s okay if we enjoy ESO differently.

FluffWit

Theres a tonne of stuff there but really the only thing that interests me us the Ram mount, I might pick that up.

I wonder if they'll be a celebration event for a couple of the dlcs starting May 6th or 7th.

Oreyn_Bearclaw

What's the Vegas line on the cost of the Aetherial Well? Only thing I care about, but admittedly, pretty excited about it.

This should absolutely be available for writ vouchers, but of course, that is a fantasy.

myskyrim26

Too many great items for a limited time...

It's a legendary/mystical creature, it just kinda ruins it having players running around as one. This is just another step further into ridiculous crown store items [snip]

Spriggan polymorph

Don’t understand the tribal costume packs - they look very similar to the racial motifs??

All the start times are in "BST" - is that a EU time zone?

The linked page is the British version. The swaps are still at the same times as always though (10 am EDT)

Here's the US version of the page if that's what you're interested in: https://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/news/post/59821

No, they usually do it on Mondays or Tuesdays, so it depends when the month starts. It's happened many times before.

Wow this month is going to be awesome 😭🖐 goodbye money

Now I just need to win the lottery and it all falls into place. Nice offerings.
