Oh sure they're "free" once you've spent 2,500 Gems/16,000 Seals on the Dragonclash Living Armor Senche and then fork over another 400 Gems/8,000 Seals or 800 Gems/16,000 Seals for the World-Eater's/Time's Herald Living Armor polymorphs if you want BOTH "free" mounts. Regardless in reality they're not free whatosever.

Of course there not free, but I like the mounts and would like to collect both if possible. I got the Time's Herald Living Armor polymorph and the Dragonclash Living Armor Senche and would use Seals for the World-Eater’s Living Armor, if I was able to get both mounts. So I like collecting Senche mounts!!

So, is it possible to collect both 'free' mounts?

Yes, you can collect both if you have both polymorphs since you keep the original senche even after you morph it. Kevin confirmed this earlier in the thread.

Yes, this is correct. I just checked on my account to make sure and you keep all three mounts.

Finally, I good looking Argonian skin (Scaly Sun Basker). Some one clearly wanted that skin to look good. If you will compare it to some others we got, this one in particular stands out. Others were clearly made with less attention to details & how skin is textured & how it interacts with player model. This time it is not the case. Some one at ZOS simply wanted that skin to look good.

I do hope we will get different colour variants in the future.

Thank you! Much appreciated and sorry for the extra work.

Another nice bare chest male outfit ruined by a ginormous single shoulder piece...

Speaking of which, I hate when a costume is ''clearly'' meant to be a style/motif; like, compare it to the Cyrod Patrician Gown, and one can easily be split up into individual motif pages:

It stinks, since I really would've liked the legs and feet as motif pages to use for outfits

Not the first time and probably not the last. Not sure what drives them into combining obvious pages into a costume and shoving it into the loot box but this practice leads them to less profit, not more.

I’m actually kinda glad that this season’s crates are rather disappointing, will be nice to save up those crowns and endeavours for another season.
They can’t have really cool stuff each time or we might end up having to actually buy crowns. 😭
The new braid was interesting the red stripe kinda killed it, and offering one of our worst hairstyles but in crimson? 🤢

What is the difference between the World-Eater's Flame skin and the flame atro skin from the past? Seems very similar to me unless I'm confusing it with something else?

Not a huge difference, but here they are together. The fiery red is less prominent on the Alduin skin.
(kind of looks like it's the Flame Atronach skin wearing a t-shirt (*and pants))

Very resourceful! Thanks Luna!

Not to be that guy but damn I wish the Hrothgar braid hairstyle didn't have bright red streaks in it.

I'd like to see more non-dyed hairstyles again please

Couple things with this (I agree):

1) IF the hairstyles are going to have streaks, it'd be nice if they were customizable (eg, choose streak color OR just all 1 color)

2) More of a reason for an in-game barber IMO. Would be great if stuff like this (facial hair, hair styles) were not sold, but rather were found at barber shops in game as a gold sink

I agree with many of the criticisms, but then most skins and polymorphs are not too my taste. I think the goblin and minotaur are cool and I enjoy a skeleton or Wraith-of-Crows for Witches Festival, but many of the others, I don’t even know what they’re supposed to be and I usually prefer to see my characters as I put a lot of time (and gold and Crowns) into customizing them.

Some of the more recent glows and colors do seem to be turned up too high — such as in the Ruinous Bone Dragon, the red is just too intense IMHO, whereas the glow in the Unholy Glow Bone Dragon looks much better.

Now a few things I do like from this recent crate season are the Twilight Kagouti, the World-Eater Eyes, and the World-Eater’s Ruin outfit style pieces. Now the red accents here are perfect!
