Why does Galen not have a motif available?

Like seriously? How long do we have to wait until we can either get the Firesong or House Monard motifs. Cause seriously apart from furnishing plans there's little reason to do the dailies in Galen. So now are we supposed to just sit here for three to six months waiting for motifs that should be dropping now to start dropping?

    That's been the MO for several years at this point.

    Makes content "replayable" so you go back to it months later.

    Not saying I agree, just that it's been the standard procedure for years now.

    It is just the way it's done. Zos gets replayability, but at what cost? I don't like it but that's what we have.

    Yeah but for a long time now the zones have offered at least 1 motif at launch, or two thanks to ancestral motifs. For example: Blackwood: Ivory Brigade & Ancestral Akaviri. Deadlands: House Hexos & Ancient Daedric. High Isle: Steadfast Society & Ancestral Bretons. Firesong: Nothing.

    I, for one, am glad they didn't put another "Ancestral" motif that requires 4 layers of RNG to get.

    This was brought up on PTS: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/618531/outfit-style-concerns

    Every Q4 DLC since Dragonhold has brought 3 motifs (4 once we started getting ancestrals), but only 2 here. I assume it's because we've been getting a lot more event motifs than we have in the past - every event has had an outfit style to collect this year, and it looks like that's going to be continuing. However, that does mean we only get 7 pages (or fewer - some have been missing a slot) instead of the 31 we normally do (7 each armor weight, plus 2 axes, 2 maces, 2 swords, a dagger, a bow, a staff, and a shield).
    ...I also can't help but notice the 'matching' arms packs for each style tends to be made, it just ends up in the crown store.

    I'll admit, I find no reason to do Galen dailies until those pages start dropping, and that's not likely to happen until March at the earliest. I'm behind on questing so I'm still in High Isle, so I'll get there when I get there.

    ...pity, since I like collecting motifs

    I'd say that ZoS themselves were bored of Bretons and did nothing but the bare minimums. 1 house, a handful of motifs and some style pages, plus one mount and a few costumes. It feels so phoned in compared to other zones.

    You had pirates, knights and druids for themes and this is all we got?

    With previous zones if you checked the achievements for that zone they did have unreleased motifs there like the just released motif in High Isle (forgot it's name).

    That's first thing I checked when the zone was released.

    There are none listed in Galens achievements.

    Suppose they could add them later but it is a change from the normal way they work.

    Live a little love a lot send all your gold to this Imperials pot.

    I just spent 5 million+, and am now flat broke trying to get the 2 ancestral breton and akaviri and the ancient daedric motifs. It has broken me, I even had to sell some of my gold mats which are at an all time low now (on console)
    I am wounded.
    I still need 1 ancient daedric motif too.
    Though it is my last motif page I need and I will have every motif again.

    Galen has been out for half a year and still the dailies aren’t dropping motifs lol. I mean…. It’s not hard to see the direction .

    I had forgotten about the house monard motif. It’s a bit unusual to add this AFTER the following chapter starts, no?

    Fargrave Guardian started to drop last July.

    Remember though, Fargrave Guardian was the LAST of 3 motif styles to be added into the drop pool for The Deadlands DLC... We had House Hexos upon release of the game (as is usual for a new zone) - then Anniilarch was added to the daedric portals, then finally Fargrave Guardian...

    This is the USUAL format for content and drops. Therefore we would have expect Galen to have one of it's motif styles drop from the dailies - especially considering only 2 will be avialalbe... but to be sitting here 6 months later and still nothing even uttered or mentioned about either being added? It's not just strange, it's become more typical from the developers as we see the the crown store flooded with new items, but achievable loot diminish.

    I'm not bashing either - I'm merely pointing the pattern we are now witnessing (intentional, or not). Is this truly what players want? I for one, would prefer more reason to actually interact with the game... Play vs Pay and PLAY wins everytime for me. Ultimately, it's why we're not buying the new expansion, and have put our plus subs on hold... I'd love to say that in the future we'll turn around and re-sub and spend on the game again, but it's a two-way street, and seems the traffic is only going in one direction at the moment.

    From the "Crown Store Showcase - May 2023":

    "The Crown Crafting Motif: House Mornard will be available in the Crown Store on all platforms starting May 10, 2023, at 10AM EDT. The House Mornard Motif chapters, and very rarely the complete book, have a chance to drop from Galen Reward Coffers, awarded from completing the associated Galen Delve and World Boss daily quests from Juline Courcelles and Druid Gastoc."

    May Crown store showcase just poped and House Monard motif will drop starting the 10th of may. About time !
    Firesong motif still MIA tho, likely to drop after the start of the new chapter :|
    I hate that those unreleased motifs were prewievable since launch, used to think it was nice but feels like salt on wounds after so much time.
