Khajiit wishes he could get excited about the new chapter, but it’s just not happening for him.

Darn it, I missed the podcast. But I already bought Summerset Isles = and yeah, not thrilled that they didn't do something spectacular with the architecture there; I mean they could have just retextured the Auridon style with some glass looking textures and been closer to what everyone expected than what they did, lol.

I am excited about the Psijic magic though; hope that is well done.

Darn, I wish I hadn't missed the podcast!

[monkeyemoness]

You can watch the full recording in Bethesda's twitch account, if you want to catch what they talked about. I actually completely forgot about the stream and tuned in about 40 minutes in lol

As disappointing as the architecture is, at least Summerset has a lot of neat things going for it, which is great. I also got it for a 25% discount so.

Dwarven Crown Crates are back for a week. Jerric just emptied the gem bucket buying the things they had to let pass them by the last time around.

Blossom was tempted to get a goat for the yard of her Orc Longhouse, until she remembered that she doesn't have one in this game.

However, the return of any prior season of crate items is a good thing. Am I right in thinking it's only the second third time they did this?

Of course, Unna's white bear wasn't ever in crates, so we won't even mention that.

Ugh, what?

They didn't bring back the Crown Gem store for the Storm Atronach Crate return last year. This blows.

[ghastley]

I just noticed that the Wild Hunt crates returned a week after the Storm Atronach ones. Both before I joined, so I missed out twice, twice. I'm hoping they'll re-do the whole range at some point, as there are thing from other seasons that would be worth a few gems.

A further annoyance is that the Cyrod Patrician gown is still available in the store on PTS, after it went away on live. That's the one Blossom would have been wearing, if we'd been in time for it. I didn't notice if there are any other PTS left-overs, but my latest test char went straight for that one.

Added some positive feedback for this on their forums. Can't hurt.

So apparently this is becoming a thing.

[ghastley]

Presumably there's income in it for Zenimax. Twitch on wikipedia Amazon get more person data about you, Zenimax gets paid.

[Acadian]

Hmm. Dunno what a Twitch is. Of course I don't know what a Tweeter, MyBook, FaceSpace, etc is either. . .

My favorite thing is how that M'aiq in the emote isn't even from ESO, he's from Skyrim. "Lies" indeed.

Is M’aiq even in ESO?

[monkeyemoness]

Yeah, he shows up randomly in a specific spot in each vanilla zone. There's even an achievement for finding him everywhere.

[ghastley]

I've encountered him twice. Across seven characters in five months. UESP shows the locations he can appear on their map.

[mALX]

I've got an add-on that puts a mark on the map at places he MIGHT randomly spawn, but that is no guarantee you will find him there. Most zones have three locations he can spawn in; but even testing all three doesn't guarantee a sighting. You have to actually talk to him to get the achievement. Two of my characters have it so far.

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Hunh. Surprised this one has never ran into him.

[ghastley]

And speak of the devil...

I came across M'aiq last night in Reaper's March on my way back to the wayshrine from a wood survey. He told me "The Mane is chosen by scent. Had M'aiq known, he would have bathed."

I did not think to take a screenshot, but it was dark anyway, and probably wouldn't have been very good.

June 2018 Crown Store Showcase.

That Tsaesci style looks really cool.

Some nice features, but the hip flaps are getting to be "because we always have hip flaps". They don't really relate to the rest of the outfit at all.

I do like that hat, and the pitchfork-style staff. The sword in the image looks better than most, too.
