Issues with certain motifs. Should ZOS make Divine Prosecution and Dragonbone styles farmable?

Humble_Adventurer
Like we all know, you can only obtain Divine Prosecution and Dragonbone style for CE or CE upgrades.
We don't know why ZOS made this choice but we can all agree it's unreasonable to place whole motifs behind paywalls.
One could argue you need DLCs for new motifs, as a counter argument I say you can trade those motifs directly or witrh guild trader.
You can farm Morag Tong motifs in Vvardenfell but you cannot farm Divine Prosection or Dragonbone motifs from anywhere.
I think it's reasonable suggestion to make CE motifs farmable after one year of their initial release.
Crown store and CE aren't place for whole motifs (there are three crown store motifs, but they need a diffrent approach and solution).
I hope someday we could get official answer from ZOS. @ZOS_GinaBruno

    I would like at the very least to be able to get the motifs or previous CE upgrades for prior expansions in the crown store. I am fairly new to the game and bought the Greymore pre-purchase and subbed ESO+ and because I bought the newest upcoming expansion I am effectively locked out of getting the Dragongone motif as it was sold on a CE of a expansion that was included in my pre-order of Greymore.

    It would not really be cool to the people who bought the CE version of expansions to make the items they got world drops, but giving other players who are new a chance to buy that content on the crown store would make sense in quite a few different ways.

    For future expansions they might want to consider a "Ultimate CE edition" of the expansion that includes all of the previous CE versions of the expansions along with the CE version of the newest release. That would allow new players to actually get the CE content from the prior expansions that came out before they ever played the game. That would sell very well to the newer players just starting the game. It makes little sense to not give those new players a way to purchase the old CE content from each expansion in a package like that.

    It's an outfit style, just like the Imperial and Morag Tong conversions. Not a motif.

    After a while (idek how long that took) ZOS added the Morag Tong Motif as a rare drop from the Morrowind dailies. Same thing will probably happen to the Divone Prosecution. CE owners will prolly have to get the motif same as everyone else to craft it lmao.

    I don't really get this whole idea of "I paid money for this so everyone else should too" though. I might get why it'd be an issue if people would just get it as a daily reward or something, but what's wrong with working for it? You can get basically every motif ingame by farming it, even if it takes a while and you gotta do harder content to increase the drop chance. The ones that don't drop ingame will lucky still be available during anniversary events, but again you gotta be lucky with that. If not, you just go to the guild store and splurge, if that's your thing. I know for a fact that if that incentive is taken away and more motifs would solely be available in the Crown Store, it'd be a lot more boring lmao. The incentive to farm it would be gone and we all know MMOs are kept alive by that. I can't help the fact you guys actually paid cash for that lol

    That means people can get CE style with in-game by trading gold to crowns.
    It's as free as farming Morag Tong style pages
    By your logic sales shouldn't be allowed either because why should people get discount from items you have paid the full price?
    This applies outside of TESO. For example in Steam, Origin or IRL.
    You missed the idea behind my post, motifs shouldn't be included in CEs in the first place.

    Aside from the nitpick that those are outfit styles, not Craftable motifs, sure.

    I own the Divine Prosecution one, and I wouldn't mind seeing it made into. Craftable motif that's available in game.
    On the other hand, if ZOS prefers to preserve the exclusivity of the CE rewards, I can't blame them. At least it's just a cosmetic.

    Yes, why not. Tbh, those CE motifs are rather lazy made, I only like boots from Prosecution and everything else have better thematic alternatives in dungeon/trial motifs.
    If you look at detail and textures, despite CE motifs are produced in same time as relevant dungeon motifs, but difference in quality is very noticeable.

    Craft bag cannot be compared to motifs (styles).
    The other is cosmetic and can be "bought" with gold. I don't think everyone should get craft bag.

    ZOS made Morag Tong farmable, why not do the same thing with Divine Prosecution and Dragonbone. ZOS made Imperial City free. They can easily make these styles farmable.

    I bought this game when it was p2p, I bought Imperial edition, I bought Imperial City. I don't mind this game being b2p now, or people having access to Imperial style or Imperial City.

    Game should not get it's money from things from unnecesary microtransactions. There are better ways to show support for this game.

    We can also argue if CE and crown store motifs even look good. People can make their characters good looking without CE motifs or crown store costumes. In my opinion CE motifs shouldn't have existed in the first place.

    I probably wouldn't have made this thread if Morag Tong motif wasn't farmable.

    Ah, finally I understand why ZOS divorced some armour styles from craftable motifs.

    So they could monetise yet another aspect of the game while adding to their pool of defenders. Now they new get both the "crafting doesn't matter because it isn't combat" as well as the "it's only cosmetic" groups. That was better played than I had given them credit for. Not nice, but better played.

    But then, I am in the "originally bought a sub-only game with the understanding that there would be no paywalls and only account services in any associated cash-shop" crowd...

    I probably wouldn't have made this thread if Morag Tong motif wasn't farmable.

    Morag Tong is only available as a crafting motif because back when Morrowind was released outfit styles didn't exist yet. Back then it was a style conversion that allowed you to change existing pieces to Morag Tong ones.

    With the introduction of outfit styles that feature became obsolete and both Morag Tong and Imperial conversions were changed to outfit styles just like any new additions after that.
    And because all motifs are also outfit styles, making the new ones available as motifs would diminish the value of the CE. Why would Zos want to do that?

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    Yes, they should give players ability to farm Divine Prosecution and Dragonbone style (make CE motifs farmable after one year).

    Ah, finally I understand why ZOS divorced some armour styles from craftable motifs.

    So they could monetise yet another aspect of the game while adding to their pool of defenders. Now they new get both the "crafting doesn't matter because it isn't combat" as well as the "it's only cosmetic" groups. That was better played than I had given them credit for. Not nice, but better played.

    Yup. Took me a while to realize that too, but it started becoming more obvious with Elsweyr. They're using all sorts of new tricks to trick players into paying more for less. You know those dragon-themed outfit styles that were in the cash shop around Esweyr? They're what... basically a portion of a motif and to collect all of them it'd cost you significantly more moeny than the cash shop only motifs ever costed?

    You are forgetting the Stalhrim Frostcaster, Tsaesci Akaviri and Grim Harlequin style which are also behind a paywall and otherwise unobtainable.

    Perhaps they could make it farmable after a year, just how the chapter you needed to pay extra for becomes just another DLC in your ESO+ package. It would also keep their older content fresh for longer.
    This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.

    And I don't see any reason not to have CE limited motifs, just like other CE limited stuff.

    Hmm, good point.

    Ok, let’s not have any CE limited stuff. If an addition (merch, for example) is good the just sell it. ZOS just sells whatever the item is. For as long as people want to buy it.

    No more of this artificial scarcity, FOMO, pre-orders over working content approach. If it is worth putting out there, then keep making it available. If not? Don’t bother.

    It's not really limited if CE bundle appears in the crown store when chapter becomes a DLC
