Just Make the Fang Lair and Scalecaller Motifs Available in the Dungeons Already

WuffyCerulei · June 2018

After seeing the Crown store showcase and seeing that the Fang Lair and Scalecaller motifs aren't being released till they're added to the crown store, I am just annoyed. Many of us thought they'd be available to get when Summerset when on PC, but no. Some of us thought they'd go live when the consoles get Summerset. Doesn't seem that way. Come on, Zenimax!! I don't get mad about as many things as other people, but this is ridiculous. At least let us work for the damn motifs already. People who wanna buy them with crowns can when they go to the crown store.

Pretty sure they go live in the dungeon today.

EDIT: Hmm.. nothing in the natchies about it.

nryerson1025 · June 2018

As in the 4th, not the release date, the 5th?

MaddPowered · June 2018

I mean, Technically the motifs are already in the game. You just need to do battlegrounds to get them :^)

WrathOfInnos · June 2018

Not understanding the delay here, did someone forget to change a 0 to a 1?

Mazzatun and Silken Ring motifs were added day one of Homestead.

Bloodforge and Dreadhorn motifs were added day one of Clockwork City.

Scalecaller and Fang Lair motifs... still missing 2 weeks into following patch with no ETA.

MLGProPlayer · June 2018

Oh wow, I thought these were coming out tomorrow. Didn't see it was June 27th. That's brutal. Especially since master writs requiring the styles started dropping 2 weeks ago...

Even the crafting materials have been dropping from the dungeons for 2 weeks now.

But we need to wait another month for the actual style, which has been in the game for 4 months already (as a non-craftable set).

None of this makes any sense.

WrathOfInnos · June 2018

June 27th is when they come to the crown store. I don’t think there has been any confirmation of an in-game drop date. I thought we might see them in the patch notes today, but no luck.

RANKK7 · June 2018

please @ZOS_GinaBruno can you let us know when they will start to drop? And we are getting master writs already requiring these motives, quite wrong.

nryerson1025 · June 2018

it's quite obvious this is a monetization play. i'm sure they will be released in the dungeons to give just enough time for most players to realize how difficult it will be to farm them.

Cryptical · June 2018

Summerset releases on June 5.

You pc people got it early. You got it before release day. The motif wasn't dropping in dungeons before release day.

Release day is june 5. The same day that two out of three platforms can start playing.

What does this post have to do with anything?
The motif is releasing June 27th, not June 5th. That's why we're annoyed. We thought it would be releasing on June 5th since we've been getting Fang Lair/Scalecaller master writs for 2 weeks already.

There hasn't any conformation that's the case. The patch notes regarding it are vague af. If they truly are going live tomorrow, I'll be happy.

They won't be difficult to farm at all. They're no different than any previous dungeon motifs.

The whole point of these motifs is to entice people to run DLC dungeons again.

There is this thread here, created today, that explains the situation well. Worth looking at.

That thread is a bunch of conjecture based on interpreting a couple statements in one specific way.

AND it begins with a complete lack of grasp of the facts in the first 3 words. That thread starts "When Summerset launched" Well, guess what? Summerset has NOT LAUNCHED YET.

It launches TOMORROW. June 5.

Again, you pc people got a PRE RELEASE. You got it PRE LAUNCH.

These past couple weeks for you have been BEFORE LAUNCH.

It's been in every flipping ad for summerset that it releases on June 5. How hard is it to realize that these past couple weeks you pc people have been playing Summerset, you have been in the "T Minus, Countdown To Launch" period before the rockets actually fire? Is it really that hard?

Fang lair and scalecaller will begin to drop shortly after the launch TOMORROW.
It also arrives in the crown store on june 27.

"Shortly" does not mean "3 weeks".

So quit mining salt and have some faith that zeni is going to start dropping the motifs in the next couple-ish days AFTER LAUNCH JUNE 5. Tomorrow. And start reading what they write instead of skimming.

It is NOT going to be 5k

Lowest price I think it'll go is 80k if you're really really lucky and wait a few months

It's gonna be the most popular 'skin showing' motif without a doubt

If you mean 5k crowns then yeah, it'll be 5k crowns

Clearly never tried the one shot in vSC on aus ping.

@Cryptical ROTFL. Summerset launched on May 21. The "early access" marketing nonsense is just a thin veneer to make consoles feel not like the second-class platform that they are. And if the delay was to somehow make consolers feel better, why stop at those two motifs? Why are the three other new motifs in Update 18 available starting on May 21?

Of course, I hope you are right and that we are misreading their ambiguous text about the 27th. But I doubt we are that fortunate.

His post is as much conjecture as yours, basically. He at least admits it is his interpretations based on Zos change of actions and a clear delay of in game drops.

he even asks Zos if he is interpreting they statements correctly.

Well of course the dungeons themselves are tough (epsecially with your ping, I want to rip my hair out with 120 ping lol, can't imagine 300-400

). But there is no RNG. You beat hard mode, you get a motif. Guild stores will be flooded with them very quickly.

Cryptical · June 2018

75% of the month exists between June 5 launch and June 27 crown store availability.

Thinking that June 27 is shortly after June 5 would be like thinking that November is shortly after February.

If you speak to 100 random players, i'd wager the majority wish not to enter fang lair and scalecaller. reason being they are too difficult .

Still motif farming in HM is an thing, as other say the purpose is to make the dungeons more relevant after people has farmed sets.

Regarding selling them in the crown store, it might make sense for them to be in the game a short time first so people see the idiotic high prices in guild stores

You don't need to run them. Plenty of other people will though and they'll list the pages on traders.

Lark82 · June 2018

They need to fix the first boss constantly resetting in Fang Lair before serious farming for motifs can begin.
