Will the ESO Plus Statuettes ever cycle?

AdamBourke · April 2020

There were some that I missed and would really like - is there a chance that they will ever come back?

It would be really nice if e.g. in January there would be a new one added, but all of the others from previous Januaries would be available again. I think this would be a good way to entice new subscribers as well!

I gotta say that missing a few of these is what kept me from renewing my sub a while back, just knowing I missed some and would never get a full collection.

I'd be willing to spend "a few" of my allotted crowns on being able to back fill my collection.

As long as we get new ones in addition to the old ones, I don't see why not.

But, I'd also like to see something other than statuettes from time to time.

AdamBourke · July 2020

@Jayne_Doe I agree that if they come back, it should be alongside a new item. I'd love to see every month have the same as that month the previous year(s), plus a new item. I think it would really help new people start subbing.

I also agree that I'd like to see things other than statuettes - I know some people would like cosmetics,etc - but i'd like them to stick with furnishings, just not statuettes. I find good furnishings the hardest thing in the game to come by, and this is a great way to do so!

I would suggest the goal is to keep new ones coming and the ones that have been rewarded are exclusive to those that were subscribed at the time (and remembered to claim them). I doubt they will be offered again.

I think Zos needs to automatically mail them to those who are subscribed. SWTOR never made subscribers remember to claim any item they were giving as a reward. Why punish those who forgot to visit the crown store and claim the statue?

I liked getting these free statuettes, but scrolling through my Gallery section in the Housing Editor in my home takes forever now, with those and all the Undaunted busts and plaques.

I’m getting some Antiquity furnishings in that category now and I often overlook them due to the sheer number of items in there.

I like the furnishing suggestion above by @AdamBourke better.

I can’t afford the slots to put many of those statuettes in my houses anymore, anyway.

I think it could be cool to see other furnishing other than statuette.

Maybe Have a section in the subscriber page in crown store to buy the older one for a small price,

I wish I could get them all. Alas, I can't pay for ESO+ every month. I just can't afford it sometimes. I wish there was some other way to get them

I think the best way of handling this is introducing a system where each month a new reward is available; but you have the choice of picking any of the previous rewards for that month. But you cannot pick both otherwise resubbing for a year would be enough to get every statuette.

1. Encourages people to keep resubbing if they want the "full" collection.
2. Lets people choose what reward they get even if they missed one. That way if they really wanted that mini dread father statue they don't have to just deal with (insert X generic khajiit statue here instead).
3. Can even add bonus times where you can pick an extra reward to allow people to play "catchup" with the collectibles. Those who are still current and up to date have no need to worry about playing catchup.

The idea of offering the item monthly is to promote the continuation of one's subscription. So bonus times for people who chose to stop their subscription can catch up but those that were loyal all along get nothing extra. That does not make good business sense.

What should change is it should be automatically delivered by in-game mail to everyone subscribed during that month. The email should remain until interacted with.

The business sense part comes from being able to have the entire collection if you've subbed since the start; the "catchup" mechanic would only be 3 extra statues a year maybe; which if you continue current trends would take someone seven years of straight subbing before they had the whole collection. The catchup mechanic itself doesn't need to exist though; the choice of getting old statues instead of the newer ones should for newly subbed people.

I have every statue already and I don't see an issue with letting people who came to the game later acquire the same amount as I have. I'd rather they be encouraged to continue playing the game with a sub than be punished for something they likely didn't even know about until Greymoor for example.

But yes if the above changes don't happen then I'd rather see them auto mail the statues because it's as you say no one should be able to miss a reward they are entitled to, alternatively make it so that statue is ALWAYS the first "featured" item on the announcements page so that you are reminded about it every single day.
