Was I always blind to the reskins ?

I'm guessing the answer may be yes.

Have you looked at a mount or a pet in the last 3 years?

Gibrans

Yes lol

Cadbury

Necrotech_Master

yes lol

or if you looked at pretty much any of the customized actions, especially for the teleport animation, those arent really even reskins, more like recolors and thats about it lol (the only unique teleport so far is the legionnaire recall)

Seeing a new mount / pet usually reminds me of this classic by Chu.

LunaFlora

i guess so

In this case (as with many others) I'm quite happy about a recolor of a pet I truly love. Ditto for certain recolors of mounts - notably the indriks.

They've always done recolors/reskins, but I do think they've done a lot of recolors back to back recently so the lack of effort is standing out more. I wouldn't even mind all the recolors if the majority of crown store pricing wasn't so ridiculous. Like the recolors of the basic fast travel animation.... I laughed real hard when I saw the price of the crusader one, there's no good reason why that should have ever been put on the store for more than 500-800 crowns.

Yeah I honestly thought I was misreading it, it looks like something they'd shove in the endeavors store for 2000 points, no way that pricing is at all worth it.

Wayyyyy too many recolors in my opinion ... at least for the price they set anyway. I wouldn't care so much if each wasn't priced like it's a brand new thing or always made crown only. The one that really stood out to me was the The Standing Wave hair. It has a yellow and red recolor (The Standing Flame and The Adoring Stand), and they're all only obtainable via crowns.

EDIT: Oh, also the Duo-Dynamo Multi-Rider mount! That thing's already got like three recolors. I kinda wish you could just dye or evolve (like the indriks maybe?) them somehow? Because it's so frustrating to get one, then see another variation you like better. But ain't no way I'm paying 5,000 crowns for the exact same thing but gold.

I'd even say 2000 endeavor points is far too much for it and these things should not even be in crates. Again, there's absolutely no good reason why such a simple color change to the basic recall animation should be treated as FOMO and locked behind a process that can take months or a ton of money depending on your RNG.
I personally have yet to even see someone use that yellow recall.... so I'd like to think that the majority of players think it's overpriced and are not buying it because of that, and hopefully Zenimax will learn that higher prices don't always mean more money in their pockets, especially now with no crown gifting.

Reskins are a plague.
Indriks are a plague.
Wasteful, cheap filler in almost every case. But if that's what keeps the lights on, then sure whatever.

Sorry. I find indriks absolutely wonderful. Not every coloation, but enough to keep me getting tickets for the ones I love but don't have yet.

The minute I popped into Summerset and saw my first indrik, I wanted one. Thank you ZOS!

Apparently you haven't played other games like Destiny 2 if you think the reskins in ESO are bad.

Agree with you here, the Indriks are some of the best reskins in the game. Pretty colors, nicely detailed. I went out of my way to obtain every single one as they came out and I don't regret it one bit, including pets. I hope you enjoy your Indriks! they're well worth it.
