Why are all the ones with figurines on top, are being held to the side? Like wtf? It makes 0 sense, all 3 (warden, nightflame, bloodspawn) are being held sideways and it is weird!

PS if it is only for me tell me so I know that something is wrong with my game...

    It isn't just you, and it's the exact reason I won't spend tickets on them.

    My character looks so stupid, holding a staff like that... I don't plan on talking with you dragon head, stop looking at me.

    I am also curious how come many of the packs do not come with maces or axes etc. How come the entire weapon range is not included in the packs?

    ya I dont understand that either. The staff should be facing forward. I had a staff with a bat or something on it once for halloween and when I used it (in costume) I always held it facing forward.

    I posted this on another thread

    Also why dont they touch the ground in resto staff stance? You just look weird holding your staff like that.
    Some of the arent centered on your back either.
    So you have way longer part of the staf over your right shoulder it look weirs especialy in sneak

    Literally same reason I didn't want to buy certain ones. But a lot of staves not just crowns styles seem to go sideways.

    The crown store weapon packs only include one one-hander and one two-hander by design. I suspect that was a choice made to keep the pack in the 2500 crown range, since adding five more weapon styles would nearly double the number of styles and probably also the price. It may also be designed not to alienate magicka players too much — stam weapon designs in the packs already outnumber the staff 3:1 as is, and doing all the stam variations would raise that to 8:1. If I were mainly interested in the staff of a pack, I might be able to convince myself to buy it when it’s one of 6 items, but I would be more likely to feel it wasn’t worth it at one of 11.

    All I play are magicka classes and I only use the destruction staff. Even my healer uses a destro staff and I already feel like I am wasting a lot of money because I will only get to use one of those items simply because I prefer magicka classes.

    But that being said, there is no reason for them to raise the price with a fully designed arms pack. The cost of business often requires money spent up front. Heck if anything they should lower the prices of a complete arms pack to 1500 to entice more sales.
    I see it promoted here all the time that the game is in a healthy state, millions of people are playing it, etc etc. If that is true, ZOS would make more money by giving full development to these arms packs and lowering the price.

    Noticed this too, it’s very annoying and looks wrong but then again how often are you looking at your character face forward outside of the login.

    Always figure it was turned so you could see it as you are playing or in first person view.

    Be safe and have fun :)

    I mean, they could make them look normally and then tweak the first person view... Characters look really stupid, as if they are talking to their staves or something. And I don't see it much, but others do.
