Are you disappointed by the Black Fridas sale?

Tan9oSuccka · November 2017

Yes

Yes. I wanted something different.

I guess someone else will get excited for mostly consumables.

I still haven't seen any bears, so they're not exactly selling like hotcakes.

Slurg · November 2017

No

It's a good sale for new players and existing players who were waiting for a big discount on Morrowind. I saw a few of the new bears near Davon's Watch yesterday.

There's not much in the sale for the rest of us (unless you like extra mule accounts or are buying gift accounts for friends and family) but I like my free bug mount.

So bland, common. Like make some new costumes or mounts other than one side of beast with the flesh eaten off that’s still ambling about somehow. Also, cease and desist entirely with necromancy related things until there’s a necromancy class! NECROPOTENCE hello? That set should pertain to raised dead - not daedric and other pets/spawns! Otherwise just call it Daedrapotence.

Wtb Necromancy Class.

I want a Crown Sale. Im happy to be paying for ESO+ and getting crowns thru that, but I want to get the Daggerfall Mansion, furnished. been waiting on a crown sale to do just that.

The bear mount is meh at best. Nothing unique or inspiring about that mount.

Its bad enough the digital content offered in the crown store is 100% nonexistent outside of the game and its even worse when you look at the pricing of this content for example $40.00 USD for a mount, over $100.00 for some houses...as bad as spending the insane prices in their cash shop is on goods that we cant take with us, consumables just take the cake in completely useless digital content, sale or no sale.

This is my first "Black Fredas" in the game and to say I am underwhelmed is putting it extremely mildly.

Ummh.. Right day is tommorow? Or do I have wrong information.

Dragath · November 2017

Yes

yes, very disappointed tbh.
wanted to spend quite some money on a crown sale. maybe i'll buy a rift and fallout vr instead, since there is no sale.

SisterGoat · November 2017

No

While I wanted crowns to be on sale, I can wait until winter sale. If They aren't on sale then, I WILL be disappointed.

So, this month I've gotten a free pet, a free mount, and with the crate thing coming up, a chance on more free stuff.
And, I got more useful stuff like experience scrolls and potions, including a bear mount all for less crowns than a mount usually costs.
No, I'm not disappointed. They didn't have to give us anything or put anything on sale for that matter. Name one other game that has a cash shop that does that.

Don't all games with a cash shop have sales?

I only play 2 others - Guild Wars 2 and Pokemon Go - and they're both running special promotions right now where you can get discounted bundles of cash shop items and special items for free. It's not the first time either of them has done this, it happens a few times a year at least.

I just assumed it was standard practice, just like with real life shops.

Sales, yes. Typically give things away like pets and mounts and things like thier crates for free...not so much. Not that I've seen, anyway.

TerraDewBerry · November 2017

Yes

I was so hoping for a crown sale.... Now, I just feel like this..

jrgray93 · November 2017

Yes

I was all set to give them like $100 bit I guess they don't want it. I'm guessing they don't want to do it because new crates hit next week. The bundle in the store is useless.

vyndral13preub18_ESO · November 2017

Yes

I like sales. I hate the bears.

It's still not a bad deal, as it's 600 crowns off the usual 2500 crowns for a limited skin. Plus other items.

But 2015's Green Narsis Guar showed up in 2017's Dwemer boxes as a 40 gem epic reward.
So it's a safe guess that Zeht's Cloud Camel will show up as an epic in a 2018 box, and the Tuxedo Bear will show up as an epic in a 2019 box. If you expect to have a substantial cache of gems by then, it's probably worth it to wait.

Both of these is pretty much me, I literally have set aside 100 dollars, more than I ever spent on this game before, but noooo..... Khajiit is sad.

vrine · November 2017

Thank you all for your input! Its been good to read differing opinions.
One thing I can agree on though, and I should know by now, is to have 0 expectations. Consider this a lesson learnt!

Mettaricana · November 2017

Yes

Would have been a great time to put expiring crown crates on sale. And maybe a crown sale..

Fischblut · November 2017

Yes

I was sure we'll have crowns sale... Discount on "chapter" surprised me though, so I got it instead of crown pack I would usually get

What would be even better if we also got discounts on things in Crown Store. 75% off everything

Or at least 50% off everything... Black Friday or not - I really don't care why and when, I just like discounts

Or 50% off ESO plus...

I would buy 2x6 month cause at 50% price it would actually be worth it for me.

Huyen · November 2017

Yes

I'm dissapointed in the fact that they overprice stuff to make it look they are giving a huge discount now. (Same with every store on the globe right now...)

Zhaedri · November 2017

Yes

Was hoping for a crown sale. I buy crowns both on and off sale, so it would have been really nice.

The bear and consumables bundle doesn't interest me. Maybe if it were for 900 crowns instead? Or, you know, bought with crowns bought on sale.

October really depleted my discretionary funds for crown stuff.

Maybe they don't want to put things on sale that people want?

Oh well. Husband and I have both budgeted a certain amount for Black Friday online stuff, guess Zos wont be seeing any of that.

woe · November 2017

Yes

I was ready to drop like $400 on crowns for the new crates and every other year they went on sale... :'(

maboleth · November 2017

Let's see.

We got or will get soon:

- A super cool free Nix Ox mount for Morrowind players
- Several free crates
- Free fabricant snake pet
- Black Friday combo with a mount and EXP boosters for 1900 crowns
- 50% discount on the whole ESO content, Morrowind included

Yet people still complain. No wonder that dealing with people is one of the most difficult job positions.

Minyassa · November 2017

Was saving up for a crown sale, will just wait until the next one.

Problem is that people expected a crown sale for Black Friday, as it has been happening already for two years, so not having it was very disappointing. Also, the Black Friday combo is nice if what you want is the bear mount - I can craft quite similar consumables in game so I don't find an use for those in the bundle. And the discount on ESO and Morrowind... let's be honest, a lot of us already had both for a while. Or, well, at least a lot of the players I know.

I must admit the Nix Ox was pretty amazing, yeah, and unexpected as well. The snake pet was okayish. Not my favorite, but I just don't use it and that's it. And the crates... good luck if you want to get something good out of them, but at least we will get few gems out of them!

Zos is more interested in people buying their game so they can make more money with the micro transaction. Hence the game price lowered for black friday

Firor has to write his end of year updates. In it, he would like to give a glowing number of Morrowind sales. Since Morrowind annoyed a number of players, it is possible that the Chapter sales are soft. This is an opportunity to catch up on sales, if they are soft, before Firor has to do this. Larger numbers are easier to present.

rhapsodious · November 2017

I hate bears, and I'm far from a new player, so I have no reason to buy anything this time around. But, on the other hand... I can spend my money on other things, like a new chair so I can enjoy the game more!

KingMagaw · November 2017

Yes

A bear that doesnt wear a tuxedo is false advertising

No crown discount means it failed as Black Friday event, especially since they jacked up the price of crowns by 33%

munster1404 · November 2017

Yes

I'm just sort of pissed that the riding lessons are bound to character. I stupidly bought the Black Fredas pack using my one and only character with a maxed out mount
