And that would be more damaging to the population, because boredom is a lot harder to ignore than rng boxes.
I miss a year ago when they actually tried to hype future DLCs, so we knew some DLC features and some base game stuff to look forward to.
Nowadays it's like: no info for months, then suddenly, this update has this, going to pts right now, k bye.
Instead of baby-raging about standalone DLC you should be worried about the real problem, like the conflict in the middle east, or the inexorable progression towards a fully automated economy, or the inevitable heat death of the universe.
Or maybe all of these issues can exist simultaneously, and it's perfectly valid to talk about each of them in their turn. And maybe we can all act like adults here and stop trying to steer a conversation in an off-topic direction, and go make our own thread about these Super Important Problems.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

✭✭I just want the opportunity to directly purchase things I like in the crown store at a reasonable price. Throwing gobs of cash for a chance at that item seems stupid. I don't go to the store for milk and throw a fiver at the clerk, hoping he doesn't come back with bread. Then when he does come back with bread, keep throwing money at him until he returns with milk. Scam boxes are for children, put a price on the item and stick it in the store you lames.18 -

The housing update will most likely be just that... housing and balance fixes. I don't expect a new zone before quarter 2..

"Here, Gabby, you can have this black hair dye for your Altmer now. And for direct purchase, no less"
I kinda promised never to complain about anything again if they did that ;x
Sure, I promised that way before the Crown Crates were announced, but a promise is a promise.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.
Meet my characters:Command: Do the thing.
Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.3 -

Maybe you can rephrase the promise in such a way that you can pretend it was never a promise at all?

You could as easily make a reverse analogy in relation to going into a casino and not expecting any certainty in what you come out with. The fact is that in the outside world there's room for both the store that sells you the certainty of some milk and a casino that sells you the chance of a win. Games are no different, there's room for both certain purchases and the chance to win something. It's how it's done in practice, rather than the principle of doing it at all, that's the real issue in my view.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭To everyone who thinks they're going to punish ZOS for the Crown Crates by canceling their sub or otherwise stop spending money, I beg you to reconsider. Doing this will only increase the percentage of ZOS' income that come from the gamble boxes, which will only speed up the deterioration of the game that they will create.
I'd like to get several more months of enjoyment out of the game before it becomes nothing but a skin for gambling. If the only thing that makes them money is the Crates, that sad day is going to occur much sooner.

We'll definitely get an in-game notification once the crown store has been updated, so be prepared for that. I imagine that would be the only time, though. Surely they aren't THAT sadistic.0 -

That is the problem with the crown crates once they get in. What happens if they do really well? Oh everyone loves them, we need more stuff in the gamble boxes. If they do bad? Oh they arent preforming up to expectations, we need more stuff in the gamble boxes.
It is a no win situation once they are in play.10 -

There's only room for that if it's something the community actually wants, and at the very least the sign on the forums is that we don't. So unless you have reason to believe that the forums are somehow not a representative sample of the game's population, we can conclude that the community does indeed revile the gambling boxes.Men'Do PC NA AD Khajiit

I actually agree that the themed cosmetics were made for the crates and wouldn't be introduced if not for them.
But regular recolors of existing mounts that have nothing to do with the theme of the crates but are still exclusive to them, like the Red Pit Wolf and the Black Mane Lion? No, I disagree, these could easily be sold directly if it wasn't for the crates like the many recolors before them.Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

Panth141✭✭✭✭✭I need to clarify something. Just because I'm here does not mean I'm still playing. I stopped playing a while ago and it's been uninstalled since.
I post here because I care, believe it or not. I care about the community I still feel apart of even though I no longer play. We share a love of TES and wanting to see it succeed.
I enjoyed RP and PVP. Both have been dying in ESO for a while. Now I can't even mould my character into who I want her to be because I can't choose what I want her to be or look. I feel like my character now has lost her uniqueness and replayability.
I said earlier in the thread that I will see what is said about the crates and how they go down. If things are relatively "ok" then, sure, I'll play again. But I'll probably start a new toon on the PC version rather than pick up my hard-worked character.
Whether I leave, stay, keep coming back, complain etc. - I have every right to do so. Certain people (trolls) here need to stay out of my business. If you just came in this thread to put people down, be rude or immature then please leave until you learn how to behave socially.
Oh and for the record - this is a public forum. I can quit ESO and stay here as long as I like. I have friends here I legitimately care about so you won't get rid of me. As I said though, I don't know yet whether I'll be playing or not next year nor do I know for how long each time. That's up to me

I agree to some extent. I just have zero faith in any gaming companies ability to fairly implement and maintain both. The success of the gamble option relies heavily on them having the best and most exclusive items inside of them, leaving a paultry selection of undesirables available for immediate purchase. In the real world if I want the milk I can buy it outright in the store. The choice to gamble at the casino has no bearing on whether or not the store will continue to carry such items.Edited by Callous2208 on November 28, 2016 6:26PM2 -

And I guarantee a month from now you'll be deep sea diving in search of your manhood to try and get it reattached.
That may be the best comment I've ever seen on this forum.
I second this. I won't do it. I will not. And some people really ought to be careful what assumptions and guarantees they throw out on a forum.
I am not in any way attracted to the Crown Crates at all. Even if the return rate was higher - much higher - I wouldn't waste my RL money on them. They are solely designed to get your money. That's it. There is no artistic development, there's no story, there's no design, it's just a garbage way to get your money.
But the number of people who think crown crates are a good idea makes me wonder how much longer I'll be playing this game.

A. Our execs want more money right now.
B. Our game is in financial collapse and we need the cash flow to keep the game alive.
Which one of those 2 apply here? I'm honestly curious. Is the game doing that bad off where you need this SHORT TERM influx of cash to keep it afloat or do the head honchos want a bigger xmas bonus?

What??? How is this punishing them??? This isn't a child we are talking about, or a charity, this is a company. If ZOS doesn't provide me the opportunity to purchase the goods and services that I want, it makes no sense to keep giving them my money. They pay people to help them figure this stuff out, nothing I do is going to change it.Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

I'd like to get several more months of enjoyment out of the game before it becomes nothing but a skin for gambling. If the only thing that makes them money is the Crates, that sad day is going to occur much sooner.
If you love the game but know what Crown Crates mean for it, please continue supporting the game in other ways. It's the only thing that might offset the damage.
It does not really matter which way you view it, the final outcome is the same, you dont really achieve anything.
For me personally, and no doubt for many others who know how these boxes work, it is more about the moral issue here, It is nothing about how much money I have got nor how good the product is, I just can't financially support any company or anything that stoops so low to use such morally wrong practices,
These gaming cash shop RNG boxes ARE gambling and manage to just scrape under the laws of gambling, which is wrong, the sooner these practices are legally recognised and controlled for what they really are the better.

So the crates are actually sentient beings that developed these mounts and costumes? The crates existence is necessary for cosmetic items to make it into the game from here on out? Good God it's worse than I thought!
I actually agree that the themed cosmetics were made for the crates and wouldn't be introduced if not for them.
But regular recolors of existing mounts that have nothing to do with the theme of the crates but are still exclusive to them, like the Red Pit Wolf and the Black Mane Lion? No, I disagree, these could easily be sold directly if it wasn't for the crates like the many recolors before them.
That is what annoyed me about them. If it was just the themed mounts then fine, but the Red Pit Wolf and other re-skinned mounts and pets should be available to buy along with being available in the crates. That way you could spend your money upfront or try your luck. That is what they lead us to believe when they first announced the crates, that only the themed items were exclusive.
As for the rest, I find it a bit funny that swtor is used as an example of how bad the crates are for a game. I played swtor after it went free 2 play, it was already considered a "dead" game then, which it wasn't. There were tons of people playing. I played for about a year and became a subscriber for most of it before I left for this game. I went back to play some of the expansion with the new empire and guess what? There are still tons of people playing. I played the first 6 or 8 chapters I cant remember now and left again. I think the rest of the story is now released so I have to return to finish and I bet there will still be tons of people playing this supposed dead game. I have also heard that eso is a dead game, often on this very forum. So pardon me if I don't herald your doom and gloom.
Also- I didn't buy any crates DAGGERFALL COVENANTNA PCFormer Vehemence MemberOnistka Valerius <> Artemis Renault <> Gonk gra-Ugrash <> Karietta <> Zercon at-Rusa <> Genevieve Renault <> Ktaka <> Brenlyn Renault2
