When I first started playing it was marketed sub only with free dlc, point I'm making is this game change a lot in 2.5 years and will keep changing but it's still the same game at the end of the day

The base game, absolutely. But for someone like myself who RP's I can no longer play that way. The main selling point, for me, has been taken away.

May I ask how come?

I RP with a couple of different RP guilds, and I can still RP??

Creating my toon how I want depends on being able to buy certain outfits, mounts and accessories to fit certain events. A lot of these items are going to be in crates now. So I have to change the way I play.

Keeping production cycles in mind I will reserve judgment until the DLC following the next one (guessing here not really knowing schedule).

Until then I will enjoy the game, because when I am in the game I don't think about crates. I do have the advantage of not having seen everything yet. I've got mudcrabs to fry and skeevers to slice.

Also really looking forward to housing.

I'm excited for housing to but I wonder if they will put the real fancy houses inside these scram crates? For those like myself who do not have a wealthy income of in game gold.

Well give them ideas! lol

I can see stuff for the houses ending up in the store and the crates... crafting motifs for special furniture even. The houses themselves ... well never say never but I would think it less likely.

oh nooo well here's to hoping they don't actually read this. That is the last thing I want to do, give them ANY ideas.

I was lucky after 5 crates. Looks cool.
First, it is a normal Atronach wolf. Then when you push A, he howls and the thunder strikes and he will sparkle for a few moments.

Actually, if you read the webiste you will see that the crown store show case is already up and none of those itens are inside the Crown Crates.
Yeah, there are some exclusives mounts and mementos inside the crown crates but I think that is very childish and shallow to say "I have to change the way I play" because a small amount of itens are purchaseable via crown crates. You can still buy them, but you will need to buy the crown crates and praise the RNG overlords.

GeneralPardon · December 2016

First crate: Storm Attronach mount, can't complain.
Say IDGAF to crown crates lol

Nice, but that mount should not even be in there, The clouded senche leopard mount was suposed to be a special reward for players who had subscribed over a certain period of time, it was suposed to be specifically for that.

Now anybody can get it !!

it was out for a "limited time" on consoles I bought one "outright"

You are thinking of the Stripped Senche Tiger.

The Clouded Senche Leopard was available for a limited time for 2500 Crowns.

The clouded leopard was offered as a limited time item.

The tiger senche was the loyalty reward that was never supposed to be offered again.

EDIT: Should have read farther down the page. Sorry; didn't mean to duplicate answers already given.

Yes. But PARS just doesn't have the same lore-appropriate ring to it now does it?

I am tempted to buy more as well

I was quite lucky with the wolf, but I think the Atronach Senche is the coolest.
I have to fix my online banking (I messed up the PIN 3 times) and then I buy more crowns.

Khajiit will not buy. However for those who wish to buy this one would advise to hold off and see what the drop rates are over a longer period of time. The first hour of the cratemeld is not a good time in which to make a judgement as to if it is wise to hand over your life savings to Pacrooti.

Even so please bear in mind they can change the drop rates whenever they wish.

You purchase with entirely unknown odds.

@SantieClaws I really enjoy ur post but in this thread I've notice ur having a hard time staying in character gg

Oh khajiit is just as she always was yes. The ears and paws and tail all remain. The grubby pale fur is still full of small pets.

Just that sometimes this one if she quotes the song lyrics or the patch notes and they are not written as this one would write them then this one she must stick to the original text yes.

And khajiit she can speak with many voices. This one she is not just a one dimensional drunk and thief - no sometimes this one she also likes to eat too much also.

Hey guys, if any of you are buying crates, we'd love your input in our collaborative drop-rate spreadsheet!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Zt5oj7PWNFFaTykgXhWQOOkVl1ekHAJgcJpueRN3C40/edit?usp=sharing

Please add all drops, as partial data is useless! Thanks

I am aware, that I was lucky with my attempt.
I also received many costumes that I haven't bought so far. The only thing that annoys me, is this low quality crown food and poison etc. It's so much worse than the crafted ones, why would I bother using them as a high end player ? I think, this garbage should not take away valuable slots from the crown crates.

Before we are done, this will probably be marketed as a totally free to play game, entirely supported by optional subscription, but mostly by the cash shop, largely from Crown Crates.

They can potentially make more per player, average, from Crown Crates than subscriptions. This leads to subscriptions being unimportant, although kept around, because why leave money on the table?

People who do not do Crown Crates will be increasingly on the sidelines. They won't have the cool mounts, pets, or costumes. This serves to drive people to Crown Crates, or away from the game, if Crown Crates are not an option. This is the predictive model for the industry. Players play until the cash shop becomes a financial burden they don't want to shoulder, then move on. Most games offer a few months of fun before that happens, so there is always a new game to play.

I also made a short video of the wolf mount in motion, for those who are interested.

BuddyAces · December 2016

Like I told my wife, if you're going to buy em then buy em now while they have the drop rate set to look good. I'd really like to know how much of this extra cash they are making is being put back into the game and not funneled into some execs pockets.
