I wish motifs would release faster

Nemesis7884 · July 2019

The thinking is probably that so people that dont care about gear but looks have more incentive to run the content?

but

a) id assume the nr of those people is pretty small

b) even smaller now with the outfit system

c) if u only farm for look pieces and dont care for traits yore done fast anyway...

Why not release them faster and if need be keep em in the crownstore longer before they start to drop?

You know there's free spell check software?

I don't think we need more motifs at a faster rate, it's pretty tedious to farm them now as it is. People just buy them if they want the rare ones.

It is tedious enough already

Elwendryll · July 2019

I already can't keep up. Okay, maybe because I'm not actually farming them, too busy doing trials.

Because this way they can keep the content relevant for longer. DLC dungeons get a lot of traffic at the beginning when they are new and fresh and people are looking for gear. After that they go quite for a bit but half a year later their motives are released which gives people something to hunt after again.

every new motifs looks better than the last one ^^

i even recently thought that i really wished there was a mongol looking motif - and now one is coming up!

In my mind, the problem with motifs isn't the release timing but the ridiculous level of grind introduced into obtaining them. For the DLC dungeons in particular, it excludes a huge portion of the player base from even having any sort of reasonable chance at obtaining them. Bad game design designed deliberately to funnel people to the cash shop. It's revolting.

Meh. More like it is bad design funneling people to a boring grind that makes them hate life.

I personally think they're coming out too fast...hard to keep up nowadays...

i can see that...at the same time you can buy em from the guild store and they come down in prices quite fast..especially if you dont need all pieces... i consider myself a very casual player and dont really seem to have huge issues to collect the motifs i want with few exceptions...sometimes some pieces remain very expensive for a long while...

A lot of it depends on the means in which you acquire the motifs. If you are purchasing from the Crown Store, or you can spend all day grinding the same dungeon, then it probably feels like they are coming out too fast. But honestly, if you spend a majority of your time in the game then it's going to be very difficult to release content at the rate to keep you engaged. But for a majority of us, we can't keep up with earning a whole style by ourselves before the next one releases.

I wish motifs would release AT THE SAME TIME as the content they are associated with. Staggering the motif release by months (or indefinitely in some cases) is something I find frustrating.

I think a lot of this is to give an incentive to purchase them in the Crown Store prior to being able to get them yourselves.

Grandma · July 2019

I just wish certain ones would appear in the crown store. like the exclusives, or honor guard [nobody wants to pay for those in game, im sorry people who farm it but the prices are just too high. even I gave up and have started farming it instead of paying ] or boyant arminger. I ain't gonnar un around vvardenfell for 10 hours a day to maybe get a drop.

thats what i mean...at least in the store...

i wouldnt have issue if lets say new dungeon comes out with new motifs and they appear the same time or like 1-2 weeks later in the crown store and then maybe 1-2 months later as drops...i have no issues having them in the crown store first for some time i just would like to have a way of getting them and not have them in the game but unable to obtain them for months...

its frustrating and i don't see the point as i doubt people run dungeons just to get pieces for the looks... they run em for gear pieces for stats or for motif drops later on

I just wish they'd slow down production on motifs. Seriously, we don't need a dozen new motifs every year. We have so many now, and there are so many ways to mix and match them that very few players in the game look the same.
