ZOS_Kevin · February 28

This is the official discussion thread for, "Crown Store Showcase—March 2025"

"Saddle up and check out what’s coming to the Crown Store this March 2025."

LunaFlora · February 28

awesome!
i love that Clockwork Tinkerer costume and I'm happy to see Grim Harlequin crates return.

Fun to see newer mounts replace the current mounts in the store for the foreseeable future.

also the showcase says "The matching mask page will have a small chance to drop from the Valinna from Veteran Scrivener’s Hall. " for Roska the Warped arms pack, that should be Bal Sunnar probably.

Seems the news page is badly formatted, or they are not including images for returned items this month. Maybe it's still being edited.

Not displaying images for returning items. We are trying to lower the footprint of the article overall and see how this does. So open to feedback.

i think it's a nice change as it's easier to look through.
And we can find the images for old items online

It feels very low-maintenance and I too wondered if it had been rushed out as an early draft without the customary pictures and descriptions. That's partly because I'm used to the usual format, of course, but this list feels very bare-bones with just the item names, dates, and ESO+ discount notes.

I understand wanting to avoid bloat with so many items being listed, and having flavor text for all of them would be a lot to scroll through, but I think that pictures do add value since we can see at a glance what each item looks like and it helps pique interest in anything that catches our eye. Maybe a reasonable compromise would be having a smaller thumbnail image in the article that we could click to enlarge?

I'd also add that it's not helpful to cut images on returning items for any players who've not been around for prior showcases - they won't 'recognize' these items the way long term players will.

MafiaCat115 · February 28

I would not mind if the showcases kept their original format since it made it easier to window shop and see at a quick glance if there was anything that catches the eye. I do like how there are different categories for new vs returning items. At any rate, not much for me this month from what I can tell, but I do hope that all of the feedback and ideas I gave on the last showcase will be of use to the team if it all found its way to them!

For a request, I am requesting that hair dyeing is added in game! (And maybe an answer to questions about class set auras!)

ImmortalElf13 · February 28

The article does have a very unfinished or draft feel to it. Maybe work on the formatting a bit and the thumbnail suggestion above is a good idea. Looking forward to browsing the store this month.

Ruthless · February 28

the new format sucks how do we know what items are coming back are we supposed to remember all the names by heart and look for them ?

Froil · March 1

The formatting is kind of odd and, as many have said, it feels incomplete. Maybe have pictures of returning items hidden under a spoiler tag or something like that.

Livvy · March 1

Yay! Finally! The Eldersblood Peak Ram!

Thank you all!

Alp · March 1

If the images take up too much space maybe do a carousel with images with the list under it?

SolidBeast · March 1

Like others have said, carousel, spoilers, thumbnails, anything would work, just not this. I don't want to have to google each and every item, and the names are meaningless to me (and I've been here since beta). We need images, they're what makes us pay attention to the showcase in the first place. I hate this change and thought it was made in error.

Feedback: it sucks, add the pictures back

Lugaldu · March 1

I'm sorry, but you can hardly call this a showcase when it's almost just a long list of things that most people probably don't even know about. I think this step is bad, because people primarily look at the visuals and don't read long texts like this.

Katheriah · March 1

Gotta admit I'm one of those people that just scrolls through the pictures.

Maybe the suggested carousel would be a nice idea?

Maitsukas · March 2

Trees grant gifts that linger after their passing. Druids recognize this gift as what it is, a blessing from Y'ffre.

Spoiler

Bal Foyen Circus Guar:

Like other reptilian creatures, Guar can be bred for bright, even gaudy colors. The Argonians of Dhalmora offer this entertaining variant, a popular performer in Tamriel's traveling shows.

Elegant and intelligent, this breed of horse is a favorite among the nobles of Cyrodiil.

Falkreath Riding-Lynx:

The people of Falkreath call these lynxes "blizzard bringers." The cats are as powerful as the buffeting winds that scour the slopes of the Shriekwind Bastion. There are even rumors that the lynx's growl causes avalanches high up in the mountains.

Hivethief Vvardvark:

"Look at that tongue! You can thank Spellwright Domavas for these bug-eating beauties, expanding on Magister Varkenel's work. I hear he first tried to give them feathers, failed, then came up with this gorgeous steed."—Cidius Sosia, Necrom Stablemaster

Aloof and strangely mournful, there's no question Pirzbi wields powerful magic. Some say their innate ability and keen intellect have become an obstacle for those who wish to partner with them. Perhaps you will find success where they did not.

Novelty Stick Horse:

During the Jester's Festival even the lowliest of commoners can pretend to be a mounted knight with a whimsical Novelty Stick steed. Horses are popular in the Daggerfall Covenant.

Non-Combat Pets

Spoiler

Scorpion Fabricant:

Thanks for making this!

Malyore · March 2

Do articles stick around after they're no longer relevant? If so, is it possible to just remove the pictures AFTER the month is over, that way whatever footprint left is still smaller.

TheDutchChef · March 3

Now i am still curious to be honest, as i couldnt find a answer online.
Is the showcase like only all crown items that will be available during march? Or are there as example when jesters event start more added?
Cause hoping at least that now during this event they will put certain items in the crown store, and not compared like to past new life festival that certain items where not even in the store....

Soraka · March 6

More fancy camels please. I like my Valentine's day bear, but it would be better as a camel. 🐪

I like the idea. I am trying to reduce the overall footprint of my Crown spending and this helps greatly!

Kallykat · March 9

I don't mind not having every item's image in the article, but you should at least have all the new items' images.

I do actually like having separate sections for new and returning items.

Have you ever considered organizing the items by date instead of type?
