Summerset chapter really was the pinnacle of this game. They gave us a full free notable home that was massive, tons of free crates, the balancing was still pretty good, the chapter felt like it came with everything, the writing was still good, and we still had stadalone dlcs rather than attaching them to a "Year long journey". We have gone so far down south with this that it doesn't even feel like the same studio running this game.
So, if this can help, I got the crates yesterday and received the following stuff: Crate 1 = Lizardly Four Fabric Skirt Set // Crown Repair Kit // Crown Lesson: Riding Speed // Gold Coast Survivor Elixir Crate 2 = Bright-Throat Yolk Face Tattoo // Instant All Research scroll // Crown Combat Mystic Stew // Gold Coast Experience Scroll At least the random trash was worth some gems. The scroll alone netted out 11 of these.
I like to think that the odds are the same as if you bought one, because I remember getting ONE free crate YEARS ago, the Psijic crate, to be specific. That one free crate, actually gave me a radiant apex mount (it was the green gummy cat).
I got the lizard steed mount and the bright throat head markings twice. Good rolls. I love my ugly snakey horse, he looks so cursed. Liked the rewards this month, hope they keep it up!
My first and last good crate was the last Atronach Crate for achieving the max level on your first ever character. I got the Ice horse from that crate and never ever seen another item of more than blue quality from any other free crate. I think ZOS forgot to reduce my chances that day and have taken their revenge on me by afflicting me with a crown poison curse.
As someone that probably spent way too much money on crates in the past, I stopped buying them because I never got anything good. No mounts, and never anything radiant. Now I only buy crates to exchange for gems, if I really want something in the 16-40 gem range. I also do endeavors like my life depends on it. Lol I'm currently saving endeavors for a bandaari spider mount if that crate ever comes back. My xanmeer crates only had a face marking, and 2 pets I already had.
what they should do is just retire older crates. just cycle everything through the crown store or better yet just leave them in the store. might actually get me to buy crowns outside of a sale.....nah i'll wait for a sale 😂
June 2018 was my first month ever playing ESO…good times Forgot to mention back then they also gave free crown crates to ESO+ subscribers during ESO+ free events. I’ve actually gotten 3 of the Psijic apex mounts (wolf, camel, and guar) completely free.
From this months crown crate give away I got potions and food, I did not even get a pet or even exp scrolls. so I would say yes, they made the drop rate suck.
G'day Azura. I opened the first crate and got some body markings. Then the game lagged or glitched (not sure what happened) and the second crate disappeared, so I got nothing, except for the rage I felt at loosing the crate at no fault of my own, then depression, then took a few deep breathes and went and did something more productive with my life. I am on PC NA.
I've earned roughly 1000 gems and the Scarlett Senche Mount and Pet from roughly 200 Oroborous crates. Free if you exclude the time and data to do so. I don't spend any money on ESO except the membership and the yearly chapter. I do Endeavors every day and was able to buy a Radiant Apex and an Apex Mount. Again "free" would imply it was given without any time or exchange of money. I paid for the game and continue to do so, nothing is free except the beta trials I took part in 2014 in which time the game was unplayable.
Zos isn't stupid. They give you 2 because it's at least 4 crates to get the 5th card. You have to save them for when you have more crates and roll for the extra card with the ones you're interested in.
That being stated. The last time they gave this lizard crates I saved them an bought some other crates and rolled for the extra card two times and got the lizard horse and the lizard bear.
I live in a gambling town do i understand that the return is very seldom equal to what you put in. As an ESO plus meme er I just save up my free crowns and every few months buy the 15 crates just to see if I get anything cool. I never go into it with high hopes and I don’t spend additional money on crowns. Gambling is always in the best internet of the house. That understanding keeps me from getting frustrated when I get dozens of useless potions.
I got trash, headdress(that I already had, so, gems) and a face marking(had that already too). Was pretty disappointed, I adore argonian stuff and would've loved to have anything new, but all I got was gems.
Good video as always. However, I will stand for this slander. The Lizard-Camel mount is an noble creature. A beast is so godly I call him Chad. - An average Lizard-Camel enjoyer.
@@Azuraaaaaaaaa TBH I only like the lizard camel because I genuinely like the camel mounts and that the lizard one is so goofy I love it. However the other lizard mount are somewhat meh to me.
It's all due to Necron. Between the hype, the curiosity the crates is like a cherry on the top. Game launches with a house you can get without crowns. As we all know by now, wait and see to early to be happy or to hate. If the arcanist gets nerfed to crap look for more rewards to come...
@@allyjay7395 think there are two one is a crown item (the boat) and the other one looks like a sith temple think (don't quote me ) it's an achievement n gold sorta like the cold harbor one.
I received absolute useless garbage in my two crates, so not exactly enticing to buy more. I am sure that is the goal but it also does not seem like they are "spiked"
I'm doubtful we're gonna see that many crates in monthly rewards going forward, but I would like to. There is something undeniably dopamine-inducing about opening crown crates, so having more access to them from in-game means is the only way I tolerate them. I got my beloved Psijic Camel mount from the crates way back in July 2018 and I've been using him on my main toon since. Tho I say this as a stingy red-pilled crown crate abhorring fellow with relatively good self-control when it comes to my wallet, so I'm not as susceptible to the harmful predatory marketing of giving away free crates as others.
I don’t think developers understand that greed usually is what kill games. The more generous they are with the community the more the community will be willing to spend. In the current market why would you spend when the drop rate is abysmal anyway 😮
i always want to come back to eso but somehow i always get these type of eso vids recommended to me. and i realize that zenimax does nothing to improve the game , they don't make quality of life changes that need to be made, the rarely if ever listen to the community, they try so hard to get us to buy crown store items. they actively choose to make the game inconvenient to the player who doesn't spend money. Ill just stick with diablo 4 at least they are open about wanting my money. Thanks for the vid!!
The first comment you showed is telling of that person haha. They clearly just came off of a 40 hours Alex Jones / Crowder binge and wanted to vent their arrogance haha.
Of course we believe how stingy they are....in their eyes they are losing money, because you can flip most of the things you don't want for gems. It's no secret why they stopped doing this. Heaven forbid you can actually get anything from this overpriced digital items shop for simply being loyal and playing the game. The company thinks you're taking money from them.
If something is free, you’re the product! They are bait, lures for whales. They just encourage gambling. The week 3 reward should be a mount/costume/pet. Simple. ESO plus should come with an Apex in addition. Making your own currency and controlling the exchange rate is a sure fire way of conning people out of a lot of money. Let’s not forget you don’t actually own ANY of this stuff and as a modder, I could reskin many of these items in about 1 hour.
I've stopped buying crown crates I'd rather flush my cash down the toilet because of the last 3 years and multiple times I've spent $100s of dollars just to get crap. It's just gambling your money for no return
If they are going to make us pay for this shit I wish theyd get rid of the crown crates and put everything in them from store theyll sell themselves and theyd still make the money from them cause gifting stuff etc
They should learn that being generous improves morale and therefore enthusiasm for their product. I'm certain giving them away do not get them more sales; however, the amount of bad mouthing they have gotten in the last few years is not good for their brand image nor is it pulling new players. Failed business ideology/psychology at its finest. I only been playing for a year, and it blows my mind how lazy they have gotten towards the community looking through the history. To reiterate: When most your business is contingent on returning costumers you think they would want to appeal to the residual player base. If they were real smart, they would give twice a year 15 crates in one month like a crate month. Something with rare chances to drive people coming back every day. Longer someone plays more a chance they spend money. But they ain't that real smarty.
This one does not like Crown Crates. They are shiny baubles that tempt the weak and foolish. They make the players spend their hard-earned coins on things they do not need or want. They are a trick, a scam, a way for the *greedy merchants* to fill their pockets with gold. This one thinks that Crown Crates are bad for the game and the players. They create addiction, frustration, and envy. They make the players forget the true joy of adventuring and exploring. This one prefers to earn their rewards through skill and effort, not through luck and chance. This one hopes that you agree with this one, yes?

Oh no! A few people have mentioned this happened on their second crate and they didn't get anything. That sucks I'm sorry to hear that 😞
you sucked me in with your ASMR quality voice recordings... i luv your videos azura!!! you and Arttea are my fav ESO chicks! keep it up !
i got such garbage that i dont even remember what it was. i got 16 crown gems tho now i can buy a tattoo

I got a toilet with crap in it

I got a mount the bear lizard thing and it is gross, I wish the crates had like 20 cards in them and no duplicates
I got the body markings, then I got the exact same body markings in the next one lol
Gur fr that’s all I got was some poisons I ligit cried 😂 and they fr have gotten Stingy tho the old daily rewards used to be so awsome
2 xanmeer crates i got a cliff strider non combat pet, a face tattoo and some random potions and exp scroll.
Good video as always. However, I will stand for this slander. The Lizard-Camel mount is an noble creature. A beast is so godly I call him Chad. - An average Lizard-Camel enjoyer.
Hahah thank you 😂 honestly all of the lizard mounts horrify me, they just look so weird?
@@Azuraaaaaaaaa TBH I only like the lizard camel because I genuinely like the camel mounts and that the lizard one is so goofy I love it. However the other lizard mount are somewhat meh to me.
It'd be nice if we could, I don't know, have crown crates be giftable again, but what do I know, it's only been a quarter of a year
Love your videos
Thank you!
I really wanted that lizard camel im actually jealous
Wish I could gift you mine ahaha
Maybe I'll use it with an argonian, it's galloping is hilarious

Is there a Necrom House included with the chapter?

These dogs still didnt enable the gifting of crown creates nor did tell us the reason for it.
You actually got something I just got poisons and potions
I got a bunch of potions and a lizard bear. I would have been pissed if I paid for it
Whaaat you in NZ!? Coooool
In chch btw 😀
I received absolute useless garbage in my two crates, so not exactly enticing to buy more. I am sure that is the goal but it also does not seem like they are "spiked"

I opened my first crate, usual junk, I lagged and my second crate was just gone.
I also got two blues
We need something other than potions, poisons and food. Why do we even have provisioning and alchemy if they give us free items?

Got a load of crap in my free crates
