Crown Store Foods... That's it? Really?

MornaBaine · March 2015

OK so my whole guild was pretty excited when we saw the Crown Store go offline and waited with baited breath for it to come back up, speculating what new goodies might soon be on offer. The black and red Noble dress finally? The other Senche mounts? Some costumes that weren't just retreads of NPC costumes? HAIRSTYLES? Some more polymorph costumes of critters we'd actually WANT to morph into?

And we got...FOOD? THAT'S IT???? C'mon ZOS way to disappoint! What gives???

I'm not at all surprised that they added food to the crown store: it's a convenience item.

But, the fact that they added food isn't really what you're complaining about. It's that they only added food, and not something more exciting as well. I agree, but at the same time I don't think we can expect a ton of new exciting things every single time they add something. And my wallet thanks them for not adding more exciting things too quickly.

Isnt that what they do? Show us cool stuff, say it will be here soon, then it never comes.

This is a trend I hope that continues. Vanity stuff aside, I don't want the Crown Store to offer me anything I can't get in the game in another way that is better. These new foods are just that. They are inferior to any crafted green food, and certainly not as useful as a Blue or Purple food.*

Its bad enough the Repair kits are so OP.

*Yes, I am leaving Drinks off the list here, until they stack with food, they are not useful no matter where they come from

Drinks are very useful. If you want a sustain build then you use drinks.

Or Jewelry. I have a buffed 3 piece Warlock set or 2 Piece Syrbane sets on my Sorcerer, Templar and Dragon Knight. The first two never run out of magic. By Buffed I mean Kuta based Regen Glyphs on those pieces. I am not sure the drinks even come close to the regen I get from those, but I will have to check tonight.

The Dragon Knight, well, he is in 7 Pieces of Heavy Armor, and is magic based. I had to have one character that is a challenge in resources.....

I really doubt anyone would ever buy food from the crown store. Seems odd being you can make very easily or even easier to just eat/drink whatever you want anytime as you play being it's lying around every few feet of the world.

Yeah but I feel it's similar with the pots. You could make/buy pots but people buy them because they're convenient and have 1500 crowns laying around useless for a month so why not until we get some cute new cosmetics.

I haven't checked the Crown Store food yet, but does it scale with your level like the potions do? If so, that's the only reason I can think of to ever buy it: so that you don't out-level your food.

lol thought the same thing...lame

To be clear, I'm GLAD the store food is not as good as player crafted food. NOTHING should be better than crafted items. But they made such a big deal out of the wonders of the Crown Store when they opened it and even so I've bought ONE thing, the housecat. I hope they give us a different housecat every month 'cause I'll probably buy them all! LOL But they really need to get to work on unique costumes and a host of other thngs that have been repeatedly asked for on the thread they made to ASK US what we want. To have the FIRST new Store offering not be ANY of those things is REALLY disappointing.

Exactly.

Anybody remembers the mysterious thing called "Imperial City"?

This ^

The whole idea is that it's convenience food - if it was better than crafted food, then there would be no reason to craft it at all. Pay for the convenience, work for the better stuff.

Now, where's that clouded leopard senche I'm waiting for?
