Do you think ZOS has a Christmas surprise in the wings for us?

I was wondering if people think ZOS might have a surprise Christmas gift for players/subscribers in the next week or so. Perhaps a new costume or something else that can be mailed to everyone?

✭✭✭✭✭Nope! There is no Christmas in Tamriel and ZOS will only ever celebrate Temrielic holidays in ESO, if ever even those.What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

✭✭✭✭✭There is no Christ in TES lore, therefore no Christian holidays. Also with a broad, global subscriber base, it would would be ill advised to potentially upset those that don't believe in or celebrate Christmas. Maybe they'll give us something for the Tamrielic New Life celebration instead.Edited by Reverb on December 16, 2014 4:13PMBattle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you. ~Friedrich Nietzsche11 -

✭✭✭✭✭They don't need to give us anything. We can celebrate any festival we want any time we want. I shall be celebrating the Khajiit festival of Fishmas with fishy sticks, spiced wine and fishing and I invite you all to join me.
A costume or two now and again would not go amiss though or maybe random gift boxes like we used to get in LOTRO with a wide range of cosmetic things available. That way you don't go into town one day to find everyone wearing the same dress.Shunrr's Skooma Oasis - The Movie. A housing video like no other ...

Razzak✭✭✭✭✭Yes, I believe they do. A surprise patch just before holidays. Wonder what will it break, though.Edited by Razzak on December 16, 2014 12:30PM4

✭✭✭✭✭It would be nice but thus far ZOS has not shown itself willing to be very generous and requests for various fluff (even easy stuff) and customer pleasing things like being able to return to the character creation screen to change existing characters continues to fall on deaf ears. Maybe they'll surprise me...but I'm not willing to hold my breath for it.PAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!6 -

Elsonso✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭No. Quite the opposite, I think that the ZOS offices will be empty. The development and QA staff will be on vacation, hiding from management. The Community staff will be at home refilling their anti-anxiety medications from having to deal with us all year.
The server operations and customer support staff will be left holding the bag, so be nice to them.

✭Umm.. No.. I would rather they do these before they integrate any seasonal festivals or items:
Reality
1. Fix lag in Cyrodiil
2. Fix bugs in quests.
3. Fix the problems with disconnects and crashes.
4. Work on the Justice System
5. Work on Imperial City
6. Work on provisioning revamp
7. Work on spell crafting
8. Work on Dark Brotherhood
9. Work on Thieves Guild
Dreams
1 Create global Auction Hall
2. Make it so I dont feel like I have to have addons to play.
Edited for a good reminder from the poster ahead of me.
Enjoy their holiday and time with family, as its been a busy year. (They were doing full-time Beta this time last year.)Edited by Darlgon on December 16, 2014 2:52PMPower level to CP160 in a week:
Where is the end game? You just played it.
Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
Where is new content? Sigh.4 -

Good thing I organized a guild sponsored server event for the New Life Festival.

✭✭I'll be pleasantly surprised if we get a maintenance patch before Christmas to fix known bugs confirmed in various threads that have been plaguing us for more than a month.
But I'm not sitting on Santa's lap then holding my breath til I get one.Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

I think that this week is the last opportunity this year for a regular patch or any non-critical change on Live or PTS servers.
I am hoping that the staff at ZOS is taking the end of the year as an opportunity to take some time off.

✭✭✭The best in game Christmas surprise would be for ZOS to add in Tamrielic holidays for next year.

That happened to Swtor, lets hope it doesn't happen to this Game.
@ZOS_GinaBruno do you know if there is going to be adequate customer support over Christmas and New Years?. Just asking because of bad experiences with other MMOsPeople believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

✭My dream there never will be an AH, ZOS will always follow lore, no stupid mounts and no char / race / gender / class changes. (Just roll the alt if one wants to change those)1 -

Tiber Septim, aka Talos, in TES lore. You could say Allesia.
But really it's Talos.
However, in ESO Talos doesn't exist.
Best gift:
Red, White, and Green dyes unlocked, imo.0 -
Sindala✭✭✭✭✭I seriously doubt it. To be honest I think they have all gone home for the holidays already.
Only token replies on forums and no Dev speak.
I think Gina maybe the last one out the door on Friday only because of the Live cast.
That daft tradition everyone in the States seems to have of going back to spend time with the parents at Christmas...
....They should employ some English workers then we may get more actual work done.
We get 1 day off (Christmas day) then its back to work 6 days a week 12 hours a day.Being First is not the prize, it just mean's everyone can stab you in the back.2
