Why Wild Hunt? Did they really have to rip off Witcher?
This one has heard the Wild Hunt term has been around as long as story telling and Elves have been. For those who like reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_HuntPAWS (Positively Against Wrip-off Stuff) - Say No to Crown Crates!2 -

✭✭✭✭✭If you want a specific Apex mount is BS and a complete ripoff.
If you just want one mount of that type it's not terrible, but still would be better to just sell them outright at 5,000 Crowns each like old limited mounts.@Turelus - EU PC Megaserver

Well, a number of The Witcher books have been out well before 1998 if that helps any.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on February 10, 2017 1:55PM0 -

Fairy tales, mostly, if we're being educational. The books draw heavily on Northern European fairy tales to build its setting, resulting in a few that are slightly different from the Germanic ones that saturate Western European pop culture. That said, The Wild Hunt is folklore. So clearly, they're ripping off the Wood Elves from Warhammer.![:\](https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

You say that like Nordic/slavic mythology is right up there with WW2, medieval, The American Revolution, The fall of the Berlin Wall etc in the list of what people should have at least the basics learned and remembered.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on February 10, 2017 2:08PM0 -

✭✭✭Out of interest and because this has now turned into a mythical history lesson for all, but where did the concept originate from that mages for example should all use staffs/staves and wear robes? Wearing robes makes no sense when you think about it in a practical sense. I think most females would alluded to the fact running in a long dress like piece of clothing isn't the easiest thing to do.1 -

First you correct me and then you say the same as me; folklore.
Witcher is mostly based on slavic folklore. CD Project Red is based in Poland after all. The Wild Hunt is part of slavic folklore. Folklores differ from fairy tales, not going to go into definitions here.
I don't follow your last comment, but you're doing exactly the same as the guy I commented on; presuming that certain fantastic elements originate from games or popular fantasy.
Tolkien popularized the view on elves as a fantastic race that live among other mortals in his litterature on Middle-Earth. He got heavy inspiration from the Norse mythology.
I wrote a bachelor in mythology and folklore, how it is presented in modern media and why it compels people so much with a special emphasis on the works of Tolkien; so I am not just drafting *** from Wikipedia here. I don't mean to be cocky about it, but this is a kind of academic specialty for me.Prof_Bawbag wrote: »Out of interest and because this has now turned into a mythical history lesson for all, but where did the concept originate from that mages for example should all use staffs/staves and wear robes?

I didn't mean to change the purpose of the thread but now that you ask:
Many mystic figures with unnatural powers were often presented wearing robes in mythology to emphasize their mystic nature.
I think Tolkien was the first person to popularize the concept of wizards through Gandalf. Gandalf is old celtic and means something along the lines of old man with staff. The last part I am not 100% sure on; but the popular view on magicians wearing robes and using staves I have not encountered anywhere prior to Tolkien's works.
He is in many way the grandfather of the popular western concepts on fantasy worlds.1 -

Incorrect. I said The Witcher is mostly based on Northern European fairytales. The Wild Hunt in particular is an outlier, as it's drawn from myth.
Now, I'm being a little reductive here, because the books themselves are exceedingly political, dealing with the aftermath of a post-soviet state. But, the actual material Sapkowski draws from in creating his setting is, primarily fairytales.
There's also a bit of Western European myth that filters in as the books progress, including a heavy Arthurian theme.Witcher is mostly based on slavic folklore. CD Project Red is based in Poland after all.
Which is about as relevant as citing Battle for Middle Earth II when discussing Tolkien. There's the lit first, the games second. The latter didn't do much to flesh out the setting. Sapkowski is Polish, so that's relevant, but bringing up CD Projekt Red, and then misspelling their name contributes nothing.The Wild Hunt is part of slavic folklore.

Which was the point I was gently making before.I don't follow your last comment, but you're doing exactly the same as the guy I commented on; presuming that certain fantastic elements originate from games or popular fantasy.
Hardly. While it's downright depressing the way Tolkien has become the de facto standard for modern fantasy settings, effectively replacing the work of people like Howard or Leiber, I'm under no illusion that these terms are modern. Except the conjugation, "dwarves." Because, technically, it should be dwarfs.Tolkien popularized the view on elves as a fantastic race that live among other mortals in his litterature on Middle-Earth.

Then I feel deeply saddened by the quality of your academic experience.
Start with Beowulf. Tolkien was certainly content to stop there. Glossing it over into, "drawing from Norse Mythology," is almost exactly what you accused me of doing. Presuming that certain fantastic elements originate with a specific origin. Tolkien was attempting to create a new "epic," to identify the entelechy of what it meant to be British. Obviously, that's not, "a norseman."
No, I'm not cribbing from Wikipedia either.Prof_Bawbag wrote: »Out of interest and because this has now turned into a mythical history lesson for all, but where did the concept originate from that mages for example should all use staffs/staves and wear robes?

Ironically, Gandalf's appearance was based on an incarnation of Odin, when he wandered the world in "disguise." This is one of the things, along with the names of the Dwarves in The Hobbit, that Tolkien lifted from Norse myth on a whim, but don't actually inform anything significant about the setting.
I'd toss Gandalf under the bus and say he's supposed to be a Merlin riff, but I honestly suspect there's a few other influences mixed in that I'm unaware of.0 -

No judgement either way, but..... if you're buying the crates, you're supporting the crates.
"Wanting" isn't the same as "buying".
I want the black mane lion and red pit wolf [from the current crates]. I want them, but I won't buy the crates for them. This does not prevent me from "wanting" them. The NOT-themed items shouldn't be locked in the THEMED clown crates.
From the datamined stuff coming whenever; I want the black lion and the sabercat mounts. If those NOT themed items are locked in the clown crates, I won't be buying the crates to get them either.
Kind of strange that ZOS won't let me give them 5000 or 5500 crowns for the NON-themed items I would like to buy.1 -

You obviously had a lot more time to conduct your response to me, than I had conducting mine to you.
You started out by correcting me, then stating the same as me in the end of that correction. I tell you that, and then you correct me again for pointing it out.
I think it's sad that you have to devaluate my academic work based on a single comment on these forums.
You obviously have a need to feel superior in this subject, so instead of spending the better half of the rest of my day, and the beginning of my weekend, trying to 'prove' myself academically to you, which I think will provoke no aknowledgement from you in the end anyway because that would mean compromising your sense of superiority, I will instead just not go into this long and unproductive debate with you.
You corrected me, so I responded to you. That you feel you have to take this like some kind of litterate battle or challenge is nothing I can change.
Instead I wish you good weekend, and I am happy you enjoy these things as much as me.

I'm pretty sure the Monkey is one of the few items that's never coming back. That was never a crown store item; it was a beta reward. Same situation with the loyalty rewards (the Dwarven Sphere, Ice Wraith, Sheogorath Jester, and Senche Tiger.)0
