SkaiFaith✭✭✭✭✭Happily surprised from tiers of Wisp, Monkey, and Mining; I was expecting them to be more expensive.
I really hope the new recall hasn't a "dark" sound or animation. I just want it for the springy-vibe color.
About crafting animations: I find funny (and sad?) that a mining/enchanting animation can look cooler than a skill one, but I don't understand why should I select those flashy ones when they "waste time" since they aren't affected from Master Gatherer...
Sure, Master Gatherer is slotted only on my crafter, since other characters use different CPs, but then... All my characters will use flashy crafting actions while my only crafter will continue to "look poor" for convenience - that doesn't make sense to me.A: "We, as humans, should respect and take care of each other like in a Co-op, not a PvP 🌸"

if you have master gatherer slotted and use the alternative animations, it still harvests the same time with or without the alt animation
its a pretty noticeable difference in the time it takes to gather with the master gatherer and without
the only part that can get a bit wonky with the alt animations is when your chaining a lot of resource gathering back to back (such as a survey) with master gatherer onplays PC/NA

I meant that by my understanding not every alternative customized action get affected by slotting Master Gatherer; some don't get the 50% cut time.
At least this is how they are shown in the preview.
If you look the 2 ones that are permanently on sale for crowns they indeed work with the Master Gatherer bonus, but if you preview for example the rune gathering one in the now expiring crates, it is not affected by slotting Master gatherer, it will always take a long time.A: "We, as humans, should respect and take care of each other like in a Co-op, not a PvP 🌸"

yeah the animation doesnt change in the preview, but the actual time it takes to perform the harvest is still shorter
i have 2 harvest alt animations right now, the bound pickaxe (smithing nodes) and the bitter harvest (enchanting nodes) and the animation does not change at all if you have master gatherer or not slotted, but still shortens the harvest time
it does weird things with the animation though with master gatherer slotted, like the bitter harvest one is still "finishing" the animation a second or 2 after i actually finish harvesting and loot and im running off still spinning the little blade aroundplays PC/NA

✭✭✭✭✭Kinda interesting that order of the lamp is portrayed not as some mythic order but... Clowns? Edit: mounts are straight from wow, big no for me personally idk how it even went through lmao.Edited by colossalvoids on March 28, 2024 2:25PM8 -
vulonsil✭✭I like some of the furnishings, like the bright lights. I also like that there are more rare mounts like the vvardvark. Would be nice to get more fun skins for the old cat, wolf, guar and nix-ox animations. (Old nix-ox with slim legs was nicer than the newer one.)
Would be nice if you added a function that if you get a radiant apex or an apex you already have, you can choose whether you want the gems or to switch it for another one - either one you pick yourself or one it randomly selects out of the missing ones.
For instance, I like the radiant apex ornaug and would like to get it and I have both the gems and the endeavours for it, but I can't get it yet on the off chance that I buy more crates and get it from the crates - I don't want to pay a lot of gems and then get less gems back for nothing. If it was possible to exchange it for another instead of losing gems I would get it right now. Since I can't, there's a possibility that I decide I don't need it after all by the time the crates are about to go - has happened multiple times.
As for the apex... I bought a few packs of the all-maker crates before they left. The only apex I had before that was the robe. After I opened them I still had only the robe, but I had gotten the robe an extra 3 times. I would have rather gotten some other apex, even if it was one I'd never use.
Also, please consider the possibility of adding a function to change crown furnishings to gems. For instance, the current pig furnishing pack has many ugly wooden chair etc furnishings very few people will have any use for, but it's not possible to sell them or exchange them for anything useful or even gift them (though I doubt anyone would want them even for free). The piggy is cool, the toilet is nice, the tomatoes and fish and robe are useful, the lights are ok though not very useful - everything else is useless and will just eat space. No one has use for even the free banners that drop from the event, why would they want to pay for more which only become a problem space-wise? I like the piggy and would consider buying it alone for 3k, but I don't want the useless stuff and pointless inventory management that comes with it, so the pack is not worth it.0 -

moo_2021✭✭✭✭✭The purple horse is too purple and the dark steel color is bad match for the Quasigriff - a mount costing 2500 gems should be more complex, like the Solstheim Shiver Wolf.

SkaiFaith✭✭✭✭✭I had very low hope for the recall, ready for a disappointment but... I LOVE IT! I'm already spamming it ahahah
In those crates I got the Monkey, the Wisp and the Apex purple Skin that I wanted. The rest was not of my interest but I got enough gems to buy the Mining meteor.
I'm undecided about 40gems for those blue lights...
The Ornaug mount animation is really cool! Its colors too. Same for the Quasigriff. Sadly I don't like the animals themselves.A: "We, as humans, should respect and take care of each other like in a Co-op, not a PvP 🌸"

✭✭✭✭✭Do people like these skins and polymorphs that completely obliterate the appearance of your character??? There have been a few more subtle skins, like from completing the Challenger achievement for Scalecaller Peak and the henna skin from the Unfeathered crates, that are nice to use. But these astral/aether/harrowed/etc. skins and all these polymorphs — why???
I would like more detailed costumes that fit the world (as from the last two crate seasons) and personalities that aren’t exaggerated — Deadlands Firewalker is great for instance!
Makeup really needs a transparency slider and some of these look awful when completely opaque (except in just the right cases, just the right skin tone, etc.) but might give a nice effect if translucent.
I was hopeful for the Eveyea Evoker’s flair, but to me it looks tacky rather than elegant from the size and surface properties of the various elements.9 -

ZOS is encouraging people to have fun playing the game, yes. That is what character customization is for. Having fun playing the game. I know you enjoy character customization as well. And you should. It's fun. And in a multi-player game, you have to tolerate other people having fun in ways you don't.
Eye strain and headaches are problems for you to solve, not the community.10
