I have to wonder what ZOS employees are thinking as they read through this thread?
ZOS EMP1 - The bosses say we have to sell 100k crown crates a month or a lot of us are going to lose our jobs.
ZOS EMP2 - Ohhh boy, judging by the response of the Crown Crates Are Being Released Thread we might need to start packing up our things.
Showcase is out!

My Ice Wolf Mount, Elk Mount and the Ice Wolf Pup escaped the crates
As well as the Frost Caster Motif
Well, yes, I don't have much use for it since my beautiful, lovely Cryomancer who will get her Ice Wolf is wearing dropped set items only
But if we ever get a system that lets us use the appearance of a piece of gear over our actual gear...

The true test will be in a few months time, let's see them how the showcase compares to the boxes.
As a disclaimer i don't buy anything from the store other than riding lessons with my free eso plus crowns.

If this system remains...so will I.

Well, after the rather disappointing showcase for November it's somewhat refreshing to see a store showcase that has something I want (the elk & the two tunics provided they aren't ridiculously overpriced).
However... only the pet and the tunics are available on a permanent basis, the rest is limited time only. Compare that to past showcases...

The pet is limited too.
"The White River Ice Wolf Pup will be available on all platforms for a limited time from December 8 to December 12."

Wow... that leaves the tunics as unlimited items. I'm somewhat ... shocked they'd do that to be honest. I expected the elk to be unlimted like all basic mounts so far.

I've got a feeling that the Elk will be another "Kagouti case".
The Kagouti wasn't a "basic" mount, it was a new skin on the old Guar skeleton, and was limited time only too. I feel like the Elk might be the same, but with the Horse skeleton.

idk what you're talking about there, Kagouti had a ton of unique geometry to it that separates it pretty noticeably from the Guar. I would have bought it if it weren't for the muted colors that match none of my characters. I'm now just hoping alt-colored Kagouti are both a bit more vibrant and also NOT IN THE DAMN GAMBLING BOXES.
Well I was going to get a crate bundle but after seeing what coming in store next month all my crown are going for the new mounts, motif and casn't resist that wolf pup.

Did you see how many new things were available in the Crown Crates on PTS? (Which Gina confirmed will be what we will see in the Crown Crates on the live server)
It was a little more than two mounts, one pet, three hats and two outfits.
But there was no motif in the Crown Crates (yet) so I give you that.
Give credit where credit is due. This showcase makes me happy, but that's because luckily I was on the "Ice Wolf please" side of the things. If I was on the "Red Pit Wolf please" side, like many others are, this showcase would have done nothing but make me sadder.
Oh, by the way, crates still suck. But the thing about giving credit where credit is due is that I can be happy about one aspect of the game and sad about another.

Well after discussing this with my wife.. since I have the crowns I will probably buy the 15 crate pack. If it turns out to be a complete waste of crowns then I will never ever buy any more crates, let alone normal crown store items.
My reasoning behind this is that if I can get any mount that I don't already have plus maybe a couple other cosmetic items then it would be worth 5000 crowns... plus from what I have read we can now manually trade in any potions and stuff we do not want for crown gems.

I admit I will probably be doing the same. Especially when the Wild Hunt and Dwemer crates are released. I don't think I will be able to resist those ones.
I'm prepared to open 60 crates tonight on twitch.
I'm prepared (even though I want the mount) to show people that the investment of $50.00 is better off to be stored away then spent on 15 boxes.
You won't get *** from 15 boxes, as stated many times you have to invest "hard" to obtain gems to then buy what you're after.
However this is a false pretense people are receiving after thinking they will get what they want with a $50.00 investment there many be 1 or 2 people sure but you should plan on being very disapointed.
A hat, and pots which are rubbish... man it would hurt would it not.
