When does the Crown Sale go live for PlayStation?

Seraphayel · December 19

Title.

Yesterday started the New Life Festival and like every year there‘s a Crown Sale happening during that time.

For Xbox it’s been live the longest and started yesterday early, in the evening the Steam sale went live also. It‘s already the 19th and the PlayStation Store is still not having the Crown Sale, which is a little irritating.

Dear ZOS, can someone give us PlayStation players information for when the Crown Sale will go live in the PS Store?

Thank you.

They are still the normal price and don't have any discount.

For Playstation, yes.

Xbox and Steam have the Crown sale (aka discount) since yesterday. That’s why I’m asking.

There's a page on the announcements advertising a crown sale active, but it's not in the playstation store.

PC definitely has it and has since yesterday so we've already missed out on a day

DragonRacer · December 19

Yeah, this is weird - Crown sale is advertised in the PS NA announcements in-game as if it’s live, but the actual PS Store is still full priced.

@ZOS_Kevin - does somebody need to text Sony? LOL

Seraphayel · December 19

The good thing is, Crown Store stuff is usually very high on the priority list, so I expect a fix soon.

@ZOS_Kevin Can you look into this? Thank you!

I overlooked yesterday as I thought perhaps it was a timezone thing. But today and still no joy. Numerous players I know are waiting on this sale on PSNA, and all wondering why PS is getting delayed. They're starting to get a bit uppity about it too.

[edit] They did activate the Premium Edition sale in on the PS Store. But for some reason not the crowns sale.

I am also very curious. I went to buy them last night and saw what everyone else saw. I was pretty bummed out. Hopefully @ZOS_Kevin can save the day?

DragonRacer · December 19

I’m definitely waiting, and several folks in my guild and another I am in keep asking/are waiting.

Lotta money waiting to be spent currently staying in pockets while this is being sorted…

DenverRalphy · December 19

On the plus side.. I saved myself some serious crowns.

Because had the sale started when it should have, I wouldn't have had the extra time to talk myself out of purchasing the Cradle of The Worm Colossus house. I was all about having that Trial rated target dummy in the house, with visions of building a Trial Staging/Rehearsal/School in it. However now given more time to consider it, I've decided against essentially spending 14k on a Trial Dummy. But had the crowns been on sale yesterday or first thing this morning, I'd have purchased it.

Lissiexx · December 19

Denver me too. But after reading a post on how many issues there are with the house I am so glad I couldn’t purchase this morning when I saw crowns were on sale.

I'm surprised this thread isn't blowing up more heh

twisttop138 · December 19

Considering it's the crown store, and people want to spend actual money, I'm pretty surprised no one from Zos has taken the 2 minutes needed to update us.

Apparently there was a parallel thread in the Crown Store subforum and the answer got posted there:

Inevitably, someone will submit a support ticket after being overcharged purchasing crowns from the PS store while the sale announcement is up.

Thank you. It’s indeed a bit weird that no one responded to this thread, which makes me believe that they are scanning the Crown Store forum way more regularly than the General Discussions.

Oof! Monday? That'll put a damper on my enthusiasm going into the weekend.

Thanks for sharing.

Definitely a damper. Several guilds have Secret Santa exchanges happening this weekend so the Crown sale delay is certainly a bummer for some.

Yeah, I let my crowns run out because I was waiting for the sale, and now I want to buy some things (some time limited) and I can't.

Yeah, I was hoping to get the Heart of the Loom furnishing pack. But there's a good possibility it runs out before the PS sale price gets fixed.

Seraphayel · 6:32PM

It‘s really unfortunate for Playstation players. I really think they should extend the runtime of all sales by at least the time they need to fix the crown sale for PS+1.

Any plans for something like that, @ZOS_Kevin?
