What Happened To the Loyalty Rewards ?

A lot of people were pleased when Zenimax announced the loyalty reward scheme. A great number (myself included) thought this was a good move, especially after the whole STEAM pet/reward farce !
Anyway... the loyalty scheme was announced and we were told that the first rewards would be going out early Sept. Well its now just a few days away from October and we still have no rewards !
Does anybody at Zenimax understand the phrase "empty promises" ?
EDIT - As Alex pointed out the 'actual' wording of the Zenimax announcement said "in September" not early Sept as I said.

✭✭Um, Nobody said EARLY September, they just said September, although they did say last sunday it was coming out this week, and it hasn't yet.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭✭They said this week and that means Saturday or early next week. They also said STARTING in September not early September.0 -
tengri✭✭✭✭✭They have enough on their plate to do.
In fact, I dont think their plate is even big enough for the most pressing issues atm.
No tears here if another stupid pet fell under the table for a couple months more...3 -

Agreed, badly worded on my part. They did indeed say 'in' September. Its still semantics though. Rather like when they said updates would be every 4-6 weeks. Not one update yet has been closer to 4 weeks than it has 6 !

Huh? I'll give you "this week" on a Sunday could mean Saturday (in U.S.) But it doesn't mean next week. That would (obviously) be next week.
IIRC in many parts of Europe, Sunday is actually the last day of the week (not first) and thus "This week" on a Sunday would pretty much mean that Sunday.
ZoS is a U.S. company though, so this week ends at the end of Saturday.
All that said, I don't particularly care.Achievements Suck0 -

So not that much time left.

✭✭It's a vanity pet that does absolutely nothing except float in players faces in banks and crafting areas.
You would think they would reward customer loyalty with something that's actually useful.0 -

Nah , not really , you are not to blame if zen got a horrible marketing team that makes *** calls left and right.
This pet is not that much of a fix for the dog even , it is a fix for the fact they know tons of different kinds of players dont have anything in their game to do right now , they are just trying to keep some subs while they add content for the groups they still havent.Edited by Nox_Aeterna on September 25, 2014 7:18PM"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

✭✭✭✭✭I understand that it's a vanity pet. And to be honest, I couldn't care less about it....
Though I will say it's a bit disconcerting that ZOS has built a reputation around making the player base wait until the last possible minute to enjoy any bone they have to throw.
Sure... They said "Sometime in September". No grievance there since technically we're still in September. But c'mon...3 -

✭✭Is it wrong not to care? Even more wrong to take the time to post that I don't care?
If it was something interesting... an interesting pet (cat, senche, panther ftw) or a funky costume of some kind I might care more.

✭I want a bird pet, like a hawk or a falcon or an eagle, something predatory. Or changes to existing pets to actually interact with your character.
For instance:
The monkey climbs up your character and sits on their shoulder should you stand still long enough.
The mudcrab starts snapping at your character's feet causing them to dance around to avoid getting pinched.
The pig brings you truffles and drops them at your feet. (NOT ACTUAL ITEMS, just animations)
The scuttler does figure 8's around your character's feet if you're idle long enough.
The dog runs off and brings you back a stick.
The Razak's opus critter zaps you if you stand still long enough. Or it condense into a dwemer box or something.
Make them do more than sit there and they'd be cool.Edited by WraithAzraiel on September 26, 2014 6:12AMShendell De'Gull - V14 Vampire Nightblade

Unfair to compare a hard working Moderator to a politician. Unfair and unkind.People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭✭Zenimax said they were giving us something.
The majority of the forum population started raging that they didn't want it and rained hate upon the game and the devs and each other because let's face it there are a lot of nasty trolls drawn to any forum environment.
Zeni clearly got the message they didn't need to hurry up and do any favors for this bunch.
Not too hard to understand.

So basically those of us who have been loyal and supportive (ahem.. most the time) end up getting shafted due to a moronic minority ?

Actually I don't care, I don't want it, but I haven't been saying so, mainly because I can just put it on my banking Alt (problem solved for me).
But you will always get somebody complaining about the rewards, you just got to tune them out, a bit like the teenagers on the bus.

Oh mate, you couldn't have put it better. Honesty, transparency and integrity... the three principals any company should adhere to. I made a similar comment a while back and got slated by the sycophants but at the end of the day good business practice is good business practice. Empty promises will just lose them subs !

Exactly. I mean, I think the folks that are willing to take to the forums are willing to put up with quite a bit, but the complacency level is honestly starting to make me wonder if the whole game is just a perpetuated cash grab.Artists and Theives...0 -

Sorry, guys. We weren’t able to deliver the ice wraith pets this week as we’d told you we would earlier in this thread. We’ll update everyone as soon as we know when you can expect them.
ZOS it is not looking good....Edited by dcincali on September 27, 2014 7:01PM1
