Should past Crown Crates be available in the store?

Azurephoenix999 · May 2018

I dislike the idea of Crown Crates (I believe everything should at least be earnable in-game), but if they're here to stay, I believe that we shouldn't be limited to purchasing the most current one only. I think that if Crown Crates continue to be a part of ESO, then all Crown Crates should be available, not just the one that came out with the most recent expansion.

Who agrees?

Farming for forum points.

Yes, past Crown Crates should be available

They did in December. Storm atronach and Wild hunt ones. For limited time and without ability to buy items with stones, pure RNG. Maybe we will see another comebacks later.

I have mixed feelings about this (please explain)

They need to dissapear. Forever. They can place past crown crate items in store for crowns/gold and everyone will be happy.

the final week of each month there should be 1 week where an assortment of past items are for sale for crowns and/or gems.
perhaps go with a theme:
one month do costumes.
next month houses.
after that do mounts.

No, past Crown Crates should not be available

No. This would devalue the exclusivity of items.

I'm already supremely miffed that the Sabre Cat is now a CS drop. I paid 4000 crowns for mine whilst it was 'exclusive' 3-day only purchase. Now any numpty can have it. Doubly miffed that I got it as a drop; and got only 33 gems in return.

If you don't get what you want the first time around from the crate season: you MISS OUT. Bad luck. End of story.

I think that all previously available items should be available from time to time, EXCEPT items that were related to, e.g. items granted to characters who fulfilled certain criteria such as "Subscribed continuously since launch" or "were subscribed since dd/mm/yy date, or other items that were granted for fulfilling certain conditions. Those items should never reappear.

Yes.

Keep older crates around or bring them back regularly.

Or do it like Path of Exile and release all the items in the crates onto the store for direct purchase, 3 months after the crate season is over.

None of the above. Crown Crate assets should be in the game behind achievements. IMO.

Since I won't buy crates either way I don't really mind if they come back around or not. But it would be nice if the items in them were made available again somehow, including the apex mounts. It sucks when a new player (or anyone else) says they really like an item and they ask how to get it and I have to tell them they can't get it because it was a limited time sale.

Even if it was only one month per year it'd be better than what we have now where so many items, both in crates and in the crown store, are only available briefly and then gone forever. (Or available briefly in the store, then in the crates, then gone forever.)

No more crates, just direct sales would be best imo

No, past Crown Crates should not be available

I put no but think the past crown crate contents should be available in the crown store.
