rsciw✭✭✭What ever you want to call it , I call it CRAP . EP ques are about to get a lot worse ... Hell everyone's pvp ques are gonna suck now .
not for long though.
new people will come, try it out, enjoy the crap lagfest that is cyrodiil, and leave. ZOS dev team will continue to give a rat's backside about cyrodiil, and will now focus mainly on adding more shiny trinkets to this crown-store.9 -
Fivefivesix✭✭✭Okay so looking at the announcement you will have to pay for ESO premium plus which will get you crowns(new eso currency to purchase god knows what), access to DLC content, xp bonus, gold, and some crafting perks.
Question is will this cost just as much as we pay for subscription now? And I know this will make people upset because that means the money we will be sending them won't be mostly going towards fixing the current issues and WIlL cause many to leave.
Not sure how I feel about this yet.....United we stand, divided we fall.0 -

✭✭✭regardless of which model it is, ZOS will see much of their original fanbase leave.
I will stay, and I fully expect people I have come to know and love over the past however many months to be gone:(
If ZOS were low on sales.... maybe they should not have released a broken game.... would have gotten higher review scores and more sales like that:)
As long as these "crown shops" ONLY offer cosmetics, I will.... tolerate.... them. But if they start offering Gear I too, will be gone.
After all, I did say I would stay until at least the Champion system, and I fully intend to keep my word.1 -

I agree with this. If it is similar to GW2, I can tolerate it as long as the updates continue to roll in. But after reading the FAQ, I really don't believe this will be the case, since "premium content" will be bound to a pay gate.
I wonder if they are going to consider Cyrodiil "premium content"...Pancake Tragedy - Sorcerer3 -

If they charge to enter cyrodiil, I WILL be gone. Especially knowing its broken state as of now.
They may do pay gates, but I am going to be the optimist/idealist here and say they are not:/ As I have not given up on the game just yet. It can still live up to its potential.Edited by Cody on January 21, 2015 3:58PM0 -

✭✭✭Wait till you get a new F2P community in these Alliance forums . You think this community is already tough ? You haven't seen anything yet . This will be the first place the Devs turn their heads away from regarding game questions .5 -

Oughash✭✭✭✭Wait till you get a new F2P community in these Alliance forums . You think this community is already tough ? You haven't seen anything yet . This will be the first place the Devs turn their heads away from regarding game questions .
This is unfortunately very accurate. For example: GW2.2 -
Eglath✭✭✭So *** ZOS instead of improving the game to attract ppl to play it, and keep those who are already in. Is going F2P. WTF?!!! Yes more ppl will play this broken game, but more will leave. I quit so many 'F'2P games because paid user is god, and free user means nothing. Really? I just lost this tiny bit of respect to ZOS I had...
Maybe if this will only be vanity items, I'll handle it, but we already can see 'special' areas and quests, only for paid users, with I assume better rewards.
I'm deeply dissapointed...

✭✭✭Making a Cash Shop was more important then fixing the broken PvP mechanics and Lag . Rediculous ZOS . Now new players can buy potions to level faster and exchange real money for gold . That destroys everyone game economy and makes the hardwork to level for pvp meaningless for the players that already have . Credit Cards will buy top of the line gear . PvP balance even more shot to hell by those that can't afford to keep up . Credit Cards are OP in PvP .7 -
jrkhan✭✭✭@roechacca if $potions are account bound, then it would be difficult to exchange for gold. I think the rest of your argument was based off a theoretical $ -> potion -> gold -> gear exchange. They could probably also add the 'unusable in Cyrodil' tag to the potions. Maybe sell the same potions for nominal AP cost also.
Was there some other info that indicated gear could be acquired for $?
If they add lockbox drop with $ key mechanic I would start to agree though. I really detest that mechanic, especially if there are non cosmetic rewards.Edited by jrkhan on January 21, 2015 4:37PM0
