    Sure, if you don't count the absloute disaster that is the Xanmeer crates or the lackluster hallowjack ones.

    But lets be realistic here for a moment, the dragonscale crates are actually faily decient, between mouts that look nice, a good skin, weapons which are not trash, bodymarkings and adornments which are neat...I mean the only real sticking issue would be the lack of cosumtes and the fact that there is only two momentoes.

    I got two of the new apex mounts, which was pretty cool. Got the new skin, which looks awesome. Very happy with these crates, unlike the lizard ones we had. I hated those.

    I'm undecided about the skin. I did get the Karthwolf charger though and I'm excited about that. Perfect mount for my planned necro.

    this is the first season since scalecaller that has apex mounts that are my style, but I don't buy crates so none for me. I think the dragonscale apex mounts look very nice though, very pleased with that

    I do like the wolf apex mount but its not worth the gamble... odds are not worth trying for 1 mount. To bad its not for sale individually. The crate mounts used to be very cool. I was expecting a much better look with dragonscale mounts.

    Got the skin (which I'll never use) and mostly gemmed out the rest of stuff on my main account - don't need any more mounts anyway. On my second account, I got the nifty cat mount, and other stuff I didn't gem out as that account doesn't have a whole lot of mounts etc. yet.

    Should have made a list, didn't think about it. These crates were much better than the lizard ones! Only bought 5 on each account - I don't go real crazy buying them....

    Only thing I wanted, I got with gems and that was the nose chain.

    I got the nose chain, the coral nose rings and the dwarven cog earrings.

    Trying the nose chain out on my redguard female and breton female, it clips through their top lips.

    Let me know if you see a similar clipping. It may be my preferred facial geometry causing it.

    Same goes for the earrings, misses both their lobes entirely.

    But, the coral nose rings fit wonderfully and looks great on my redguard female, so not a total loss.

    I'm wondering if the nose chain fits males better.

    That's what I said to myself when I saw what was in the Xanmeer Crates.

    So this time I blew my wad.

    I haven’t liked the mounts on offer for a long time and I still don’t. Also I know for a fact if I buy crates I’ll get a guar and I hate guar. On the other hand, the epic and superior rewards are decent, I already had 2 of the legendary rewards. So I’m ambivalent about this crate season

    I disagree. Xanmeer have been the worst so far.

    Got 30 crates with gold since I wanted to accumulate more gems. Not a single mount.
    Bought the sweetroll bear (very decent reskin) and now waiting with the remained gems for the next season.

    I'm trying to decide if my dragonscale wolf was worth it or not. I had to open about 25 crates to get enough gems for him, but he's so darn cool! But, 25 crates ain't cheap...

    What's done is done. I'm broke irl but I got a shiny mount!

    I think the selection of stuff in the crates this time around is pretty bad. There are so many tattoos, and dyes that are useless to me because I'm a subscriber. No thanks.
    The apex mounts look good, though, and I like the white chub loon and frost skin.

    Costumes! I need quality costumes!!! No dresses or gowns! I'm talking good combat ready costumes like imperial/lion guard, nedic, nord hero, soul-shriven, winterborn, etc. at least bring those back to be purchased with crowns. So tired of all the gowns.

    The nose to ear chain was cool, always wanted one since I saw it on the redguard lady in the DB quest, however its way darker than it look like in the preview. Granted an spotted Khajiit make an bad background but I thought the chain was missing.

    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    I bought 20 and got my first ever crown crate mounts ever!

    Like waiting ages for a bus, two came along at once.

    The Sweetroll Bear and the Dragonscale Guar.

    Managed to get most of the other things I liked the look of also.

    How were your crates?

    I just bought the skin with gems to hide vampirism on my characters. I'll go back and play the crates next month, probably.

    I had a similar double take, but I have noticed it appears as dark copper on my dark skinned redguard and as pale blue on my tanned breton. Perhaps it is tied to hair/eye colour? Needs more testing.

    I think the "metal" color is dependent on hair color, just based on my experience. Of course, I have no way to back that up....

    Personally feel like last season was slightly worse. Edit: forgot there was stuff in the superior tier. The emotes might be worth picking up. Though I never used the last ones. Maybe I grab them when I can no longer preview them for free.

    Very underwhelming crate season. I usually open 45-90 of each type, but this time 15 should be enough.

    That's the only thing i want from these crates for the very same reason.

    The "best thing they ever did" was to stop giving us free stuff?

    An interesting opinion and somewhat controversial.

    As for free stuff encouraging you to buy stuff?

    That sounds like a lack of self-control to me.

    Well, @Verbal_Earthworm yes, you may be right. I'm glad for you that you have strong self control, that is nice. However, I'm with @Aimora on this one. Crown crates are better "out of sight out of mind" for me too. Having a few free ones invariably resulted in me purchasing more. Now I'm not tempted to do so.

    RNG is at worst and also nothing much good this season,

    Probably worst crown crate season!

    Nothing good, skin is also average!

    Completely agree. I'd get to like say 85 gems from free crates and see something I wanted for 100 so would always buy some crates to get there. Been stuck at like 15 gems forever so never entertain the idea of buying crates now

    Ehhh... for me this one is slightly better than the previous one. "Lizarded" mounts were super silly unless you're a diehard Argonian fan.. then I am sure all of them looked beautiful. lol

    As for other selections, I agree. The skin is not bad and does not cost many crown gems. And it made me see how vampirism actually super changes the look of your character. I think ZOS should look into this.. which probably they never will.

    This^

    I was so excited about new crates, because the argonian ones were not my style, only to see lots of stuff that I would never use, like more silly tatoos, and same mounts with different colors or effects.

    The only interesting items are the dwemer styled weapons, and maybe some emotes which you might use a few times before getting bored with them.

    When are we going to see old "retired" costumes like the cyrodiil gown or smith outfit?
