Isn't it a bit much to ask 2k crowns for red style Summon Winged Twilight?

TDVM

One style for one skill for 2k crowns are you kidding me? This is not a justifiably high price for repainting one skill. If it was a pack of 5-6 styles then maybe 2k would still be a good price. BUT TO ASK 2K FOR ONE SKILL. One style per skill is worth the price of one DLC. The red price for a style for ONE skillet 500 crowns maximum

I won't pay crowns for it. This is something that should be either an in game reward via achievements, daily login, event tickets, golden pursuit, or free with conditions met.

For 2k crowns we should be getting full reskins like a griffin, hawk, raven, crow, etc.

Does it allow you to preview before you buy?

EF321

Oof, I'll pass

Estin

Yeah, I found this odd as well, especially since I thought it was already included with the free pack. 2k crowns for a single transparent recolor is too steep of an asking price imo. I wonder how much the new life style pack is going to be then since there's 3 of them in that pack.

Kashya_Vulano

This cost is utterly insane. Almost $20 to make one of your skills...red? Is just straight up price gouging, cosmetic or not.

I agree, but if we're talking about selling, such single skill repaints should be worth the very minimum value

Yes, you can watch it before you buy it, but that doesn't make the 2k price justified

If people pay up (and they do) seems okay. Not good for public image though, but that's not something that would be of concern to them as far as we can see how store is going in general in a buy to play premium sub game.

TheDarkRuler

Currently you get TWO classes for the price of one cosmetic. This one is considerably overprized.

emilyhyoyeon

yeah, it's so ridiculous that it seems like a typo, like it should've been 200 crowns. But I know it's not. I could see 2k crowns for a pack of recolors for every single class skill, not one.

I'm seriously baffled at 2k crowns for a single red recolor. Really disgusting.

msetten

I must admit that I bought it without realizing how much it cost (not that was a big issue for me as I have saved up a lof of crowns). But realizing it now, yes 2k is a bit much.

Update: I do like that it is more transparent than the original one. It is now less annoying (but still a bit annoying) when crafting at certain crafting tables

LalMirchi

I would pay ten times that for a morph (while not in combat) into backpack like our indomitable Arox the Mutilator, just saying...

In no world should anybody be okay with this. It's genuine price gouging. If it were 2,000 for a pack, then that might be different, but we're getting one puny reskin of a single skill, in a single class. I'm usually in the team of "If you don't like it, don't pay for it", but this time it's insultingly overpriced. The standard that's being set here is very much "We're going to see just how much we can get out of you before you start complaining, and then go a little bit further," and regardless of whether or not it's just a FOMO cosmetic, they're doing this because they know people are going to rattle off the same old "if you don't like it, don't buy it" rhetoric they have been for years.

Plaese do not be "okay" with this. This is a genuine attempt to see how much pay piggies will cough up for the least amount of effort possible, and you should not be okay with it.

Finedaible

Not-so-micro transaction.

I am grateful for the free styles in the store, but Sorc mains will be rightfully pissed that the very first combat pet customization is a crown-only purchase. Seems like ZoS is testing the waters on how much people will fork over for combat pet skins.

Not too amused about the frost, New Life styled, skills being a crown purchase too.

Personofsecrets

For that price, it better increase my DPS.

On the other hand, that would be pay to win, and I'm glad ESO doesn't do that.

Ren_TheRedFox

feels ridiculous to ask for that much crowns for one skill

valenwood_vegan

I think it's way overpriced for what one gets, yeah. Should at least be a bundle of skill styles or a full re-skin at that price. But on the other hand, one nice thing about the sometimes absurd overpricing of crown store items is that it makes it easy for me to pass on them and spend my entertainment budget somewhere else where I get value for it.

There are entire games I can get for under $20 during the steam sale right now.

I'm not against the crown store as a concept, as the game needs to make money, but ZoS would do well to consider that the prices are frequently a huge turn-off.

RandomKodiak

Is it per toon or if you have more than one sorc is it account wide it doesn't say @ZOS_Kevin @ZOS_GinaBruno ?

RandomKodiak

Should be all Sorc pets at least for that price but yes way too much

msetten

All skill styles so far have been account-wide, so this one should also be account-wide.

it's a collectible. collectibles are account wide

Varana

If it were several pets.

Or even one pet but a better model, or a different (new) model, or a noticeable texture upgrade, or a noticeable decrease in annoyance (I play a sorc and I am annoyed by the flappybird)...

But as the only skill style for crowns right now, and one that has been heavily requested multiple times for years, and it's a simple recolor+transparency...

... for 2k crowns?

My opinion would warrant a three-day forum ban. Please insert your swear words of preference.

Oh that's some nasty work right there. I can hardly afford to play this game anymore.

Erickson9610

It's about the same cost as an Arms Pack, so instead of having flashy weapons, you can have a flashy pet.

Inari Telvanni

Yes, no one is forcing me to buy it. It's simply there for the foreseeable future (as far as I can tell).

But this is almost as expensive as Staple Houses on the store right now. It's more expensive than most Style Parlor collectibles (which are also character customization, i.e. hair and head markings). It's twice the price of most costumes, and only a few limited-time returning costumes reach that price.

I don't think this is fair, personally. I was really looking forward to getting Summon Winged Twilight, Warrior.

Additionally, it's a limited time "opportunity". If you don't spend the 2k on it, it'll be gone for a long time.

The nice thing about limited time drops. Is that if you ignore them they go away.

NotaDaedraWorshipper

This is not a microtransaction, this is a macrotransaction.

Absolutely insane price for a single skill of a single class, which is also just a colour change.

If it was a set of several sorcerer skills and giving the pets whole new different daedra appearance, then maybe, maaybe it could be somewhat acceptable. This is not.

Yup, ESO definitely doesn't do that!
