Storm Atronach Transform is a huge dissapointment for me.

Skcarkden · December 2016

For an item that costs 100 Gems, which typically means 100 items converted to gems, from 2 out of each 4 cards meaning 50 crates, i'm extremely dissapointed that effectively a $65 item only lasts for 10 seconds.

Why? Who the hell thought it would be best to put a time limit and also not even detail that in the item while it's in the store? You can't even preview it either. Same deal with the Storm Atronach Aura, 10 seconds, deactivates. What's the point? I don't want a 10 second item, and i don't want to have to re-activate it non stop either.

Given how much it effectively costs I expect much more from this, like no time limit. So why isn't it?

And you can't even use it in Cyrodiil. So it's of no use to me.

dsalter · December 2016

surprised it's not a skin tbh, it melds to the character propper.

It should really be a skin, that would be amazing

Calopi Essence, "disguise" you pick up from a quest area. Similar effects with a different theme, free in the game for basically anyone to make use of. Stays on all you like, except in pvp.

Storm Atronoch Transform, "momento" you purchase for any value ranging from 400 crowns to 16900 crowns(3x5000 + 4x1500 + 400 accounting for packs) through crown crates in the crown store. Has to be used in your quickslots once every 10 seconds to retain its effect.

K ZOS

Storm Atronoch Aura too. At least the juggle is like an emote.

nimander99 · December 2016

HAHAHAHAHA! Even the epic cool looking Atronach stuff is a fail! WooHoo for crow crates

THEDKEXPERIENCE · December 2016

Solution: buy one crate and get a Storm Atronauch Bear. Worked for me.

Rev Rielle · December 2016

If that is indeed the case, that's fairly poor form from development. Very poor communication actually. Tooltips are available, please use them properly ZoS.

Vrienda · December 2016

They should have made it a costume.

The only thing that comes from gamble-boxes is regret.

Galwylin · December 2016

In the description, it says memento. Do those usually have infinite duration? I didn't think so.

Kram8ion · December 2016

@&$?! I got sucked in for this too
Thinking it has to be a skin right?......nope totally pissed

I was a bit disappointed at how long it lasted. But I think when people do these calculations they are leaving out the fact that the more crates you buy, the faster you begin to get gems.

My first 15 crates I ended with 50 gems. Bought 15 more and ended with 240 gems. That is a huge difference. Will probably buy 15 more tomorrow just to see if I continue getting gems at a similar rate.

the storm aura, can it be bidded to a key (I suppose not)?

the mount, yes, it could be better (longer), but still looks great

ZOS should rework mementos mechanics. 10s is OK for "one time event" mementos, like bear trap or smoke bomb. But not for self-effect mementos, like Almalexia light or new atronach stuff. I did not get atronach transform from my first 15 crates, only atronach aura. It is cool, but I'm not going to use it in current version. One more option in my design wishlist.

Irony here is free one time event mementos last minutes, and stay in one spot, and can be used to troll people in your group by blocking doorways with. but eh premium stuff that should clearly be a toggle, has only 10 seconds.

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

Can any of you comment? I really think this is huge mistake and wasted potential that a really cool cosmetic literally only works for 10 seconds.

There's not much to screenshot tbh. It does look rather disappointing.

I was trying to come up with something to say to illustrate that Crown Crates are working as intended, but this sums it up nicely. Maybe if you all complain enough ZOS will listen, or they'll just keep coming out with more cra.....stuff until you forget that you were upset about some silly thing in the past.

I just looked up a video. Honestly it has the potential to be a great skin that I would spend crowns on

I'm on PS4, and too lazy to figure out how to upload anything to a PC, but basically think of it the blue ghost form when you die and revive, but add a few solid colour rocks to that.

It it actually something i really really like. Unfortunately ZOS seem to use a very different dictionary as to what Transform tends to pertain to.

Iove · December 2016

I just got it and was all hyped when I used it and looked awesome! Then it came off after a few seconds and I was like.... EH??

But now I'm mad. ZOS this should have been a skin!!! It even costs the same as mind shriven skin! PLEASE FIX IT

Iove · December 2016

Some Screenshots for you guys who haven't got it:

Although I have to say that they don't capture the lightning effects, it looks much better in game.

AnviOfVai · December 2016

I agree you can't use it in PVP either so its pretty useless to me as well. Actually it is usless. Who thought it would be a good memento? Defiantly should be a skin. For all the people who did not get any Attronach mounts, the Transfrom as a skin would of been a good substitute!!

I activated the item and was like, "Oh, okay. Then it stops, and I say 'that's it?' Looks cool, but why is it a memento?" So I agree, and I won't be falling for that store nonsense again. I have better things I can do with my money, than to waste it on temporary vanity. I'm just really tired of the constant stupid decision making that seems to be a theme with Zen.

I couldn't agree with you more,they seriously need to increase the duration of these mementos maybe like 10 mins or sth

Waseem · December 2016

maybe that atronash promotes extra stress on the badly optimized servers, so it just remain a memento

Arundo · December 2016

Agreed should be a skin / transform thing not a memento.
