I'm just glad to be getting presents at all !!!!

Thanks, mALX. So I logged in yesterday but didn't get a crate. Is that after I register for that free ESO+ trial? What constitutes daylight hours? Maybe I was on too late to get the crowns? Hoping to have enough crowns to get a Guar, and I still have my 500 crowns from when I bought the ESO Gold Edition.



Thanks, Acadian. That was also part of my logic. Cincinnatus had grown fond of Lyris and Sai and didn't want to separate them.

For this character at least, doing Cadwell's Silver doesn't fit him. And I just want to go do some traveling and other quests. Actually did a few in Auridon last night. I also just don't really feel like doing another Alliance questline. If I create another character, I might do it. But there is so much other content to do too.

On the free crate a day, they will be delivered after the event is over. Also, the free crates are only for current ESO+ subscribers as kind of a 'loyalty reward'. That way, those of us who already have ESO+ get something nice from the event.

For those without ESO+, what you can get is a free trial of ESO+ to see if you like it. I think you can 'buy' the free trial in the crown store for 0 crowns. The craftibag and ability to dye costumes are the two biggest draws for me. Oh, and the simplicity of simply getting all the DLC instead of buying each one.

Edit: Oh, here's a good summary of the event: http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2017/0...dlc-packs-free/

What Acadian said.

You will only get the free Crown Crates if you already have the ESO Plus (paid) membership. The people getting the free trial of ESO will not be eligible for the free crates, (or if you play ESO without using the paid (Plus) membership you will also not be eligible for those crates).

If during the event you didn't have the paid membership originally, but go ahead and buy the ESO Plus membership, then you will get a free crate for the days you log on AFTER you bought the membership.

*** Daylight hours were based on Eastern (Daylight Savings) Time. The article said they were starting it at 10 a.m. EDT yesterday and ends at around 10 p.m. on the 9th. So log on between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. Eastern time every day = (ask Acadian, he can tell you by your time zone what time that would be in your time zone).

Receiving the crates: On the 17th of July they will send you the crates that you earned during the event (by how many days you logged in during the 5 days they were giving them away).

This is Zenimax's way of thanking the people who support the game by paying for their membership. I pay for mine because:

1. Accelerated XP for your characters
2. The Craftbag = unlimited storage for crafting items helps tremendously keep my inventory down
3. Double the bank space for ESO Plus members
4. Free play of all DLC (so I can test run it. I do actually buy the ones I want if they go on sale, just so if I ever stop the paid membership I can have them.
5. The ability to dye my costumes
6. Double the inventory space in my houses
7. Great rewards for my support and loyalty like these Crown Crates at varied events!!!

** And they give you 1500 per month in Crowns to spend with the paid subscription!


** Crown Crates don't contain Crowns, they have a small assortment (4-5 items) of random items that are hopefully desirable = mounts, pets, costumes, scrolls, potions, poisons, etc.

Yes!!! Razum-Dar came through! Feng-Do is now back on the right track!

WOO HOO!!!!!

What she said!

Xuth. I knew it was too good to be true. Oh well. I'd like to support Zenimax and buy ESO+, but I must be wary about my finances. I will have to settle for the free trial then.

I went a year without being able to get it too; and even now I buy the DLC I like with some of the Crowns they give the paid memberships = just in case in the future something happens that I can't pay it again.

(they give you 1500 Crowns per month with your paid subscription, did I forget to mention that in my list above? It is a big reason I pay for the membership as well!)

** Added that to my list above, I had forgotten to mention it - but it is a huge reason I subscribe, lol.

Yeah Khajiit looks forward to getting that 1500 crowns every month. This one would venture to say that ESO+ is worth it just for the craftbag. One time Khajiit's account stopped working due to some issue ZOS was having and it was a nightmare trying to juggle inventory around because of the influx of crafting materials going to inventory instead of the craftbag.

They didn't have the Craftbag at the time that I dropped my membership for a year; so when I got the membership back it was my first experience with it - and boy is it Awesome! I am really spoiled by it too, was able to drop two bank mules immediately! I'm hooked on it now, don't want to lose it again!

Khajiit certainly wasn't happy playing without it!

Congrats to Cincinnatus! Jerric also sacrificed Varen. As much as he grew to respect and care for the old guy, he was not sorry to do it.

Khajiit, glad you got back on track with Feng. I have found the questlines to be forgiving of screwing around out of order, just a bit confusing when they reference things that haven’t happened yet.

Jerric just rescued Sai and has gotten drawn in to that questline (again). He loves kicking tail in Coldharbour. This is going to be fun! (Again, lol).

Khajiit feels like a dirtbag. He talked Mira into sacrificing Sai

I guess that's the benefit of having 2 (plus one) characters make the decision. In the end Hates and Eolan decided to go with the Prophet mainly for the reasons above after some deliberation. (Hates deciding that Lyris and Sai held the least amount of blame for Planemeld, and Eolan deciding that the Prophet deserved to die with dignity after all he's done to fix his mistakes).

I guess Abnur Tharn would have been too easy an option, so it wasn't. :V

I did the Prophet too, but was tempted by Sai. He was really weak in combat despite his size and reputation; and his love for Lyris made him entirely vulnerable in those torture sessions, which (imho) was a weakness that could have cost the entire world. Weak mind and weak body = good candidate for sacrifice.

But the prophet was also weak in body, could not contribute in combat. His mind was strong, but he was old and frail = and this whole situation came about by his own hand and hubris. (making him the best choice for me).

Lyris was a tough fighter, but weak of mind = she was vulnerable to manipulation because of it; but could still aid in the world's defense; so she wasn't even a choice on the table other than she got on my nerves with her combat chatter (and laughing after each thing she said).

Example:

"What is your name again; target practice?" (BWAAHAAHAA!)

And like Monkey said = Tharn was too easy a choice because Zenimax thought we should all hate him; so they removed him from your hands so the choice would be harder for the Player to make.

I actually liked Tharn, despite he was a necromancer and his own self interests would always come before the world's. He was strong in combat and in mind, and would always out-think the others. You could always rely on him to do the right thing as long as there was a way to show him it was in his own best interest. He was a huge help in combat; and didn't make any combat chatter (none that I found irritating).

Khajiit loves Lyris! Doesn't hurt that she's also Commander Shephard (female) and Bastila Shan also!
Sacrificing Lyris never crossed this one's mind; it was always between The Prophet and Sai. Now Khajiit can not even remember what swayed him to sacrificing Sai. Perhaps he seemed more genuine in wanting to be it. Don't know.

Bwaahaa! Mass Effect and Star Wars! Did they at least give her better combat lines in those games? I liked to spend a lot of time in Coldharbour to get my character up to level 6 so they could do the crafting writs; but her combat lines repeating constantly and with every fight really got tiring (for me). Then when they send you to rescue her in Coldharbour I thought they would give her some new lines, but no = same ones, and just as repetitive.

Who taught that one to fight, the god of self punishment?!

Best Khajiit can remember her combat lines weren't much better in Star Wars: KotOR (The Force fights with me!), but she didn't have many combat lines in ME being that she was the PC.

A note about the Mass Effect trilogy:
Khajiit never played a Male Shep because the male voice actor annoyed him so much. Jennifer Hale was so much better.

There is another of those lines! And she always laughs after she says it as if it was a funny one-liner!

Oh yeah, I like Jennifer Hale's voice too = just not her battle lines in ESO. Her voice and acting are excellent, but she can only do the lines she is given.
