    - New Crates
    - Same Mounts
    - Yet Another Reskin

    Pass. Hopefully one of these days they put some actual new mounts in the game instead of rehashing the same old models with new textures and effects. I would be interested for sure if this wasn't the case.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno There are so many creatures in Tamriel that would be great as mounts...we already have many different types of pets so why not mounts too? I know it takes more time and work to make a mount vs pet, but that's not a valid argument. Just release a new mount every 3 or even 6 months to make it viable ... we're waiting for 5+ years now, it's time right? You guys did it with the Indrik yes? Surprise your player base a bit with new stuff and maybe even a little more in-game earnable content would be nice too. Round out the rough corners in this area and I am pretty sure the reward would extend a lot further than just financially...

    ...At least make this happen for Ninja614...

    Spent 17m gold on crates. Got ripped off by one person for 2m. Sent in a ticket, nothing from Zos yet. Anyway, after over 200 crates, maybe even 250, i cant remember anymore, i finally got a radiant. Of course it was the wolf when the Senche is the one i wanted. Would have taken the horse second. Needless to say, fairly salty. I totally understand that it is gambling and it was my choice, but yea, still salty. F crates.

    I think it's about time ZOS adds Radiant-Apex to the Gem List (especially so people can pick and choose the one they want, not potentially spend ridiculous amounts and maybe/maybe not get one and if you get one maybe/maybe not get the one you want most).

    To be honest, they'd sell a ton of crates that way no matter what they filled them with if that's what it took to get those gems as SOME Radiant Apex are awesome as heck.

    They aren't my favs, but I'd definitely buy a few (as I'm sure so would tons of others). Exclusives should just be limited time offers & rewards, not RNG boxes.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom

    I agree. Even if they charged extra gems for them i'd be all over it. Like you said at least that way if I'm buying crates I know eventually I'd be able to buy one.

    I already have an ice horse that I got a while ago, and it looks much better IMO...actually icy. I hope I get an icy pet from the free login rewards crate next week, because I'm really temped by that frosty gryphon pet. My 4 year old wants me to buy the blue princess make-up face, because he thinks it look like Elsa from Frozen lol. That could be fun in the Noble dress costume, with that blue tiara and matching make-up on my ice horse.

    the best thing is that the crown store NEVER BREAKS or breaks the game.

    you must have missed the Dungeon Explorer outfit they put out just like a month or so ago which allowed a huge PVP exploit and had to be temporarily removed (Still isn't fully fixed either, just temporarily band-aided).

    Trust me, even their MTX break the game.

    As long as the mounts don't ruin my immersion (I am aware other people use this term loosely), I am okay with flashy mounts. Atronach mounts make a lot more sense than some of the others we got... So I actually don't mind them.

    For Baandari, the spider replaced the bear which is why there was a paired spider pet. But in Frost, the spider replaces the camel which has no accompanying pet. The Icebound spider pet from Frostvault is probably the closest complement.

    The login reward is a preview crate, which will have either a frost atronach pony, senche cub, bear cub, wolf pup, or kagouti calf. So all icy but not the regular crate rewards.

    Except in his case it sounds like he just spent in-game gold for them, not real money. Virtual money for virtual items from virtual boxes.

    Don't like them. Don't even really want a "similar" pet. Not into the ice look at all, not skins, not mounts, not pets.

    Funny thing. I LOVE winter. But the ice/frost stuff is just a major turnoff for me.

    Grats! That's a sick looking mount.

    I really wish the frost atronarch training dummy was a pet though to match the mounts :(

    Fledgling is my favourite pet, so this was my favourite item of the crates, I am really happy to get this :)

    It will match with pure-snow Indrik of my Altmer so we can walk around in winter-themed Summerset style:)

    Haven't bought crates since the Wild Hunt ones, but decided to give these a try after all. Some shinies for my Warden :p

    Ended up getting the Snow Leopard mount, about 300 gems and the Sweetroll wild card. Bought the Frost Bear and the Grey Bear with them

    I like how the Frost mounts look, but the effects are a bit underwhelming imo. Still happy with the mounts :)

    I don't know if it's a bug or intended but as for all the previous apex mounts we got some nice additional animations for like 10 secs after pressing SPACE, e.g. leaving glowy footprints or getting even more flashy visuals when riding. With these frost atro mounts we don't get any of these, apart from one short ice animation when pressing SPACE and that's all. I mean... even Frostmare mount leaves icy footprints on the ground while the new ones have nothing.

    That said, frost atro mounts are kinda disappointing to me.

    Still don't know if I should buy one since there's not a single video on yt showcasing one of them. There are lots for flame, storm, psijic etc but not a single one for frost atronach mounts. Makes me wonder if the reason as for why they are so rare is simply because they are *** like new moon mounts turned out to be and no one buys them.

    I've made a showcase for Frost Atronach Wolf mount :)

    https://youtu.be/InAYpL50xDA

    As always, on this video you can see all movement and hear all sounds of this mount.

    I was very-very surprised by this season, I can even say "caught off guard" :D Because until I could preview mounts in game, I wasn't interested in them at all... But I actually like all Frost mounts models. Even their armor doesn't look too bad on their muzzles and chests - but it still doesn't match their colors, of course :/
    And it seems like the days of mounts with awesome edited voices are gone for good :'(

    I love that designers keep enabling new idle animations for new mounts, I like to think that my positive feedback on it counted :smiley: All Frost Atronach mounts have 1 additional idle animation - so, for example, if New moon version of the mount had 2 animations, their Frost Atronach version has 3 :) I can't wait for the update of all previous mounts, so everyone could enjoy their mount's idle animations <3

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2-iI3i9bhc

    I've also made showcase for Dark Aeon Wolf mount <3

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ttt_WAaIhgM

    It has voice of ordinary wolf, and very subtle green trail... But when this wolf howls, I forget about all his weak points - it's so beautiful :o

    Hv9H1qA.jpg

    Radiant Apex wolf has different new idle animation than Apex wolf though...

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcB4LXYtPQ0

    It's a mount which looks best at night. The night also hides the fact that he has same brown armor as Apex mounts - which doesn't match his black/green colors :/

    Your comment made me laugh out loud. Just yesterday, I was staring at the character select screen, scrolling through my alts, and asking myself, "Am I paying $15.99 a month just to dress medieval dolls?" Obviously, I enjoy playing the game as well, but I do obsess over matching mounts, clothes, and pets.

    I agree I wish there was some sort of foot print left but I do like the general aesthetic of the ice. In 4k on Xbox One X the ice texture is very nice and crystal clear.

    Fashion eso best eso. Expensive though. :( I don’t care for these new mounts or crate too happy looking. New Moon was fantastic and I got 2 of the apex radiant kind of cool. Sadly this means my eso crate funds are also dry for a year. Barring a godly crate in the Skyrim year I’m okay. The next time I’m expecting to buy is the Black Marsh year and saving accordingly.
