Is that it?

Last year all DLC and Crown Crates were 30% off, but now it's only the two DLC I want to avoid?

So much for, "there’s something for everyone this Black Fredas."

    No notable homes or costumes or motifs either. I guess the best gift from ZoS this year is keeping the money I was ready to spend. Thank you, ZoS!

    is ok for me, saves me money.

    I started on NA two weeks ago, and all the stuff I bought on EU is not available on NA.

    So I thought of buying some anew, but for the standard prices? Naaa, just in ZOS's dreams... got some hairstyles, that's it.
    It is even more a nice challenge to play almost "bare" this time :)

    Are we including the 43 years of the Knahaten Flu, or not? Then again, we probably wouldn't even have ESO if not for the Knahaten Flu...

    “there’s something for everyone” is way different than “there’s nothing I’m interested in”.

    Well, I would argue there really isn’t “something for everyone,” most especially those who already have the game and ESO+. Only relatively new players might benefit from the bundle (although I still think all those boosts and whatnot aren’t worth paying Crowns for) and many players already have a banker and merchant. So what is for them, a longer term player who has already spent money on the game??? I honestly don’t see anything at all. :/

    ZOS is the only company that can take something like a sale and turn it into something that annoys it's customers :/

    You clearly have not worked in retail, it happens more than you think.
    Though unlike most retail sale nightmares i doubt they will do a thing about it.

    My first Black Fredas, and it's a total clunker. I got excited when I saw that notable houses were 50% off during last year's sale. I'd finally be able to afford the home I wanted. Or not. :'(

    Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll announce something for cyber monday or have better deals for xmas.

    still they could've thrown in something like 40% homes and furnishings or even mounts and motifs but hey im not in their marketing department.

    Maybe they'll add more things in the next couple of days, it's odd, for example, having only the merchant assistants for sale and not the bankers as well, so maybe they'll add them later on

    Bankers are due to be on sale too as per the article:

    It's definitely a staggeringly bad sale, and in the face of their recent sweep of bad press, you would really think they'd have capitalized on the opportunity to satisfy the large number of players who missed out on this or that notable home or furnishing pack. I truly cannot understand what ZOS was thinking with this sale. I personally have hyped up friends and family members for this sale, assuming it would in some way comparable to last year. Not only am I massively disappointed, but I feel dreadful for the people I instilled excitement in.

    I was in a similar posistion i was told by guild mates about last years and got very excited at the chance of getting homes i once could not get due to either not playing at the time or having no money.

    To see that this terible offering is all we may get is just bad, given bethesda's bad rep this year from fans it boggles the mind why they would scale back this years sale.

    What is wrong with all you people? Don't you know it costs Zenimax money to store all this product. It is not cheap you know. Like come on, Zenimax needs to charge for storing their inventory. Not like every two weeks their game goes on sale for 50% so we should be expecting great deals and respecting their customers.
    Not my quote but I love this saying

    I'm disappointed, too. Compared to last year this sale is a joke. A bad one. Sorry but if I see pc EU performance and the problems the last weeks or events, I was hoping there will be some good offers..
    Hm, I'll wait for the next days 😐

    Your poor defence aside if that really was a issue then why did they have a much larger sale last year?
    For the record i would not have cared if they returned homes costumes and the like but kept them at full price at least we would have had a chance to get them again during the sale but this, this is just bad.

    Also a good sale means more people will give them moeny.

    this one thinks someone has a hard time recognizing sarcasm.

    Well to be fair Sarcasam is hard to read in text unless its painfully obvious or ends with a statement that it is such.

    I mean, to reference the best Star Wars forum quote of all time...

    "In here, speculation quickly becomes assumption, and then assumption becomes fact, and reveals itself as disappointment when what everyone forgets began as speculation turns out to be false." - Dehrian


    You can't blame ZOS for that disappointment.

    Yeah! If only I could use my Prime account to order in-game assets to be 1-day shipped from one of Amazon’s gigantic, regional pixel warehouses. Why not add another currency tier, while we’re at it? They could sell Dragonhold for Prime Diamonds de-conned from Crown Gems.

    Eww.
