Stop putting furniture in crown crates!

Things like Mages Guild Stained Glass shouldn't be limited to crates. Not only is it way too expensive but they are very limited and when the season is over they will be impossible to get. And again, too expensive!

Hard disagree. I've almost always got enough crown gems from free crown crates (or endeavors) to get the furniture I want, and I'd much rather have nice furniture to spend them on than gross face tattoos or weird flashy mounts.

You have three months to earn enough endeavors to get the furniture here, which is easily doable, and if you don't get them all, or as many as you want, then this set of crates will come back around eventually. But this current set of crates was one of my all-time favorites, and I managed to get everything I wanted, and duplicates of my favorite furniture items, without spending a penny. (Including four furniture items, two of them twice, two emotes, and a handful of pets.)

I disagree with you on the principle that we shouldn't have to spend 3 months to be able to get 1 furniture item to put in a house which no one else will see apart from a few people you invite versus saving it to get a mount which everyone who you ride past will be able to see.

They should have just put it in Luxury Furnisher or something like that. Not crown crates.

I really want the waterfall from the current crates, and have enough to get them. Am I gonna get them? No cos that's 3 months gone when I could have saved up for an apex mount which is more valuable in the grand scheme of things, cos you get to see it more often which is the point of cosmetic items (counting housing as cosmetic as it doesn't provide any real bonus)

Furniture in crown crates is bad for one simple reason: it is not a collectible that is one per account. Furniture items are used in multiple copies in one house or in different houses, and it is usually useless in less count that is needed by design. If you need 10 mage glasses for your idea, then you need 10, and 9 is the same as nothing. Trying to get the exact quantity from crates is such a pain, that it is so much safer to simply get rid of the idea.

Please stop ruining skins by covering up their natural eye color. Some of these skins would look great if you didn't keep on covering up the eyes, every single time. Thankies.

It's an absolutely horrible thing and it's just one more broken promise from when they first introduced the gamble boxes. Some of us have been here long enough to remember.

i care less about furniture. I really really wish they would leave motifs that drop in game out of the crown crates.

Mr_Madness · June 2022

Hope next crate has a pirate hat for High Isle

Kallykat · June 2022

It's not as exciting as the current season, but the skins could be nice. I like the butterfly hair pin and nixad pet. I'm also glad they included a new hairstyle (even if it's not my taste) and hope they will continue to do so in future crown crates. I wish they had some eyes or makeup, and I was expecting more of the datamined emotes and momentos.

Yet another Crates Season without an Apex Camel.

🐪
Quit taking out the Apex Camels! (Also, PUT MORE CAMELS UP FOR SALE IN GENERAL. There's too many Senche, Wolves, and Horses all the time.)

Not a single crate out of the last FOUR have had an Apex Camel. (Grim Harlequin, Celestial, Sunken Trove, Dark Chivalry. Not since Iron Atronach)

Flame Atronach were the original crates to add a SKIN to the Apex tier and yet it still contained ALL of the mounts. (Senche, Bear, Horse, Camel, Guar, Wolf).
Don't gyp us out of a Camel, or any of the others, for overpriced polymorphs, skins, costumes, or personalities.

Edit: added costumes and personalities to the overpriced list.

I hope the Soulrazer polymorph is good... got 25k Endeavours saved waiting for it!

3 months, so ~90 days, with less than 250 seals from the weekly and less than 45 from the dailies...
That's less than 7264 seals. So 2 items if ZOS is being very generous...
Yeah, I'd rather have them put these on the luxury vendor because that one hasn't had a good deal in ... has it been years already?

Agreed! Furnishings costing 100 gems is crazy--you have to spend a huge amount of crowns to be able to covert to gems (if you are lucky with the RNG), and also they are time-limited, unlike the crown menu furnishings. Either stop putting them in crates OR make them collectibles, so that at least we can add them in multiple houses.

Agreed that the luxury vendor is in need of some serious attention/love. I don't think we've even had new items added for Greymoor or Blackwood.

While I like the idea of the furniture items being collectibles so you can put them in more houses, the flip side is that you can only ever put one in a given house. For some things, that's not really a problem, but if someone wanted to create a beautiful garden with multiple of the botany ponds, they couldn't. Or an aquarium with multiples of the two aquarium furnishings.

Not arguing against collectible furnishings in crates, just acknowledging the drawback if they were.

At least it’s only one costume in the crates, and one that was in the crown store beforehand.

Disappointing though that the spectacles are locked behind the crates.

Bug: off-handing a soul razer sword applies the particle effect to the other hand.
