Better question is "Who in their right mind is spending their crowns on this crap to justify the price gouging?!"

Count how many reindeer mounts you see being ridden around at 4500 Crowns, And I really want one, but ... just not at that price. I'll wait a year and catch them on their anniversary sale, lol.

Lol, indeed!

I didn't even look at the price because neither item is of interest but 1000 C each?!? Oh, that is not encouraging, Zenimax. We really WANT to like/help and support you, but. . . .

On the plus side, with a price of 1,000 Crowns I won't have to see that beard or that hairstyle on characters very much.

Aninah went on a shopping spree this morning, and nothing she bought was over 500 Crowns. I think that the new beard and hair are not meant to appeal to a broad market and are priced to reflect that. The elk mount (which is still pretty awesome) served as a quasi-loyalty reward for long-term subscribers who had tons of Crowns in their accounts, but also available to anyone else who didn't mind paying for it. Just like that blue disco cat mount that came before it. With a subscription my Crown balance is already back up enough that I don't miss the elk Crowns, but there's no way I would have spent $45 for it, or even whatever it would be with the Crown sales. On the other side of the price range there's a new fast-leveling scroll for 40 Crowns, the dye sets are inexpensive, and of course the intro price to get hooked on Crown Crates is still low. It seems to me that they are trying for customers in every spending bracket, not just making everything expensive. Anyway, that's my admittedly optimistic take on the situation.

Also they need to get people used to small transactions so that they will spend Crowns on many different housing things and not think of the total that they are spending. Kind of how people started off just buying one Crown Crate and ended up spending over a hundred dollars only to get a storm mount that now they are embarrassed to use. I really hope that the faction within the company that seems to have a background in casinos and Facebook games falls out of favor.

Grits, Buffy thanks you for not putting a squid beard on Jerric.

QFT, that is one disguise I would not want to see Jerric in, but = oh how funny it would be to read about in his fic! Can you imagine how fun that would be to read?

WHAT

WHAT

so i can't wait for the second anniversary event (you get the boxes from any daily)

Where do you pick up "daily" quests? Do these include crafting writs?

I just noticed last night that they brought the Jubilee cake back on the PTS. I did the quest for the cake, but never got any notice of further celebration. Hmmm, maybe I'll do a daily quest and see if it nets me a prize box !!!

Okay, I did 6 Writs tonight and got 6 Jubilee Gift Boxes! Mostly just mats, but I did get two purple motifs! So the answer is YES, we will get the Gift Boxes for doing daily Writs! WOO HOO !!!!


Also, a word of caution = changing the name on your account will most def effect some things in game, such as Guild memberships. So if you do change your name, stay on top of all your business and make sure it is changed where you have interests. I would suggest writing to the Guild founder and let them know it is you and your name has changed.

Nice!!

Holy cow, those gift boxes look awesome! That is something to look forward to!

Thanks for the heads up on the name change repercussions, I'll check my Guild status the next time I'm in game. I can get on long enough to deal with mail, but with no mouse and no controller there's not much else I can do at the moment. Fortunately the other Guilds I'm in seem to still need warm bodies, so maybe I'll be safe for a while.



Added: Khajiit, you can get daily quests from your Fighters Guild and Mages Guild main locations as well as a few other sources. Search "ESO daily quests" and you'll find some links to explore.

The first ESO Live of 2017 will be tomorrow (the 27th) and 20:00 GMT. http://www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-gb/ne...ry-27--2000-gmt

Forgive my ignorance. . . what is an 'ESO Live'?

The link explains it, but it's basically a live news show that they do on twitch and they talk about what they (ZOS) are doing.

It's a livestream where some of the developers sit down and talk about the current state of the game, future updates etc.

Tomorrow's Live will talk about:

Official ESO news and updates

Update 13 balance discussion with Creative Director Rich Lambert and Lead Combat Designer Eric Wrobel

Player Housing chat with Lead Systems Designer Phil Draven and Systems Designer Mandi Parker

How key art is created with Senior Artist Lucas Slominski

Ah, I see. Thanks!
