Feeling that we are getting stringed along

@ZOS_GinaBruno so when are we going to get the Dro_M'athan black Senche Panther I've been waiting for this for a while but again we get another items shoved in the store , it's almost like its a marketing ploy to get the most out of consumers, I'm sure you guys have a calendar on when items are going to be released would it kill you guys to share that information, people often miss unquie items due to not knowing when they are coming out this way people would have that information and then might not miss out hence increasing profits made

Have they actually announced the Dro_M'athan senche yet?

As far as I remember we only know about it because it's been data-mined (meaning we weren't supposed to even know it existed yet, but someone found the files), and that might even have been on the PTS, meaning they were trying out the idea but, like everything on the PTS, it wasn't guaranteed to make it to Live.

I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting for an item that's been data-mined. I held out for the clouded-leopard senche because I heard about it from data miners, but at the same time I don't think ZOS are obligated to release things shortly after they've been data-mined, or at all if they haven't actually said it's coming.

Think it's out on pc

Danikat · April 2016

It's definitely not available to buy on the PC at the moment. It might have been available on the PTS but I can't check that right now (because I don't currently have it installed).

But as I said putting something on the PTS just means they're trying it out, testing it, it doesn't mean it's guaranteed to be released.

Unless they've actually announced that it will be available at some point I don't think it's reasonable to be angry with them for not making it available.

Time to spend money else where

This is actually a very common problem people have with ZoS and the crown store, and indeed a terrible way to make sales. I agree with ZoS needing to put up some sort of calendar for the dates of upcoming/featured items instead of using the "ad spam" format or a line of text hidden in a useless news update which very few care to read anymore. It would be beneificial for people to plan out their purchases when they see an item coming that has their interest. Then again perhaps ZoS's "metrics" say otherwise...

It would be nice to know well in advance, simply for those of us who have very busy professions but still want to make the most of our ESO experience. This is my big complaint with most MMO companies, and I think I'm finally starting to feel that maybe ESO will be the last. I might just not be the consumer MMO's want. It is a little frustrating, because there are times when I get loads of time to screw around, and others where there's just no time to do anything but type out my two cents on forums while I'm sitting on hold between calls/appointments. By the way this is one reason I generally loathe 'events' on MMO's, particularly when those Events usually afford players POWERFUL items I will never have a chance to acquire.
