    Wait, so there will only be 1 look for coffers and 1 look for chests?

    Yes, all home storage chests and coffers look like the two images in the Crown Store Showcase article.

    Horses, cat, costume. Want.

    Edit: I think the pony pets hair is nicer than the actual mount, but I still like it.

    ZoS, any chance of some two-person, three-person mounts in future? If WoW can do it.... :p<3

    Nothing. Our opinions haven't changed. The right questions is: what happened to the crown store?

    Absolutely nothing; they keep delivering excellent content and people like you keep whining as you always have.

    Absolutely nothing? It used to be that there might be one limited time offer in a given month. How many this month?

    See for yourself: Every single thing that isn't Dragon Bones or update 17, excluding the polymorph.

    We decided to stop accepting anti-consumer moves like this. Think about it: By the end of the month, only 1 thing from this crown store showcase will still be available (The Anka-Ra polymorph. Not counting Dragon Bones because it's fluff). This will come at the cost of, as Jayne_Doe said:
    Jayne_Doe wrote: »
    - 4 costumes, 1 mount, 3 pets, and 1 accessory. So, we basically have a net LOSS of new items being "permanently" added to the store.

    This is absurd. For me, it's hardly even about what is/isn't in the showcase specifically: it's about the limited-time offers to pressure people into quickly spending, and the overall lack of content. 1 outfit, 1 hat, 1 pet, and 1 mount is disappointing, especially when there is SO MUCH that could be made.

    Outfit Slots are outrageously expensive. No, thank you.

    These are some nice items in the February showcase, and I understand that limited time items are part of your marketing strategy; I just wish you were adding more permanent items to the crown store to replace the items being retired.
    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

    Costume looks great ...

    but:

    Why is there yet another costume for female chars that is very revealing, while there is no costume for male characters to show off tattoos? The only ones I am aware of look like they're from a theme park - you'd have to want to look like a sailor or like a shaman to wear those.

    I would really really really love to get a simple costume for male chars that I can use to show off one of the many fully body tattoos that I own. So far, I'm not even sure what the point of buying body tattoos is, if you can't see them while playing.

    Purchasing through GameStop should give you a code for an additional 60 days of ESO+ and 3000 crowns. There have been some comments regarding needing Steam for the GameStop codes. I personally haven't run into any issues, but I never like to tell people to 'just trust me' when it's their money on the line. GameStop customer support is 1-800-883-8895 ; I'd contact them to make sure nothing's changed and you can apply this directly to your ESO PC game account.

    It's still spending $30, but it's on the terms you want.

    Those new research timer scrolls. Being able to cut the 9th trait wait time in half sounds like it's going to require a hefty crown payment.

    That's a nice horse I'd be interested in buying... if it wasn't limited time. Sorry ZOS, if you're going to make us shell out $30-50 for every Limited Time item, PLUS sub, AND make every item limited time... just not gonna buy. Smarter idea - rotate "permanant" stock more frequently, and not in crates. Let us BUY what we want, and not gamble. Or make items not overpriced fluff. I know you want income, but it's not going to happen by twisting my arm. Glad to know you can finance everything off probably <10% of the player base.

    The answer is the policies of Zenimax Online Studios regarding their outlandish pricing and increasingly "limited" items.

    I still want these for Cyrodiil. Planetside 2 had multi-person vehicles, and I'd love to see a Mammoth mount or Wamasu that you can carry group members in. Maybe make them like siege weapons where you spend AP to get them.

    You know what, there are a lot of interesting things in the showcase this month, but damn sure are lots of timers running as well.

    As always, I'll wait to see how these preview in game before spending any crowns, limited time or not.

    Are you serious? Is that horse seriously sparkling or is that only for the image? I hope it does NOT sparkle in-game.
