Based on what ive seen in PTS... nothing. I dont need storage, i have a bank that has a ton of room.

I'm not sure what people horde to be so filled and worried about storage.

To each his own i guess.

Until they add storage to housing, I won't be buying a house.

Nothing should be given up, at least not for this reason. The case for giving up e.g. crafting stations in order to retain an incentive for players to populate the cities is another matter altogether.

I have no present need for additional storage, I haven't maxed out my characters' inventories and bank slots and haven't remotely needed to do so since the crafting bag came in.

They obviously have performance concerns over the housing, such that there are player caps as well as furnishings caps, and I imagine that adding a whole load of storage space from the outset would simply have added to those concerns. Letting it all settle down with performance optimisation over a period of time before storage space is added at a later date would seem sensible, especially as crafting bags have done so much to relieve the pressure on inventories and bank slots while it will take a long time for furnishings to pose a critical additional pressure on space by which time they may well be adding storage space anyway as they're quite clear in their comments on ESO Live that it only missed the initial launch and is still being considered for the future.

I would have held off on the large and manor sized houses until a future incremental. Give people time to get used to the design interface and work on the new crafting and experiment in smaller spaces. Give ZOS a little bit more time to work on the lag issues with the larger spaces.

But they're obviously very eager to monetize everything on day one. At least everything the statistics tell them to...

I can just imagine the complaints from the wealthy few if they'd been told to make do with a smaller house and that they'd have to wait to launder their millions !

My vote is other because of the three functions i think the better choice to delay was storage - not for me necessarily - my bank is full but i am more of an outlier than a typical.

Storage should have been included.

Time, manpower, memory, and financial domains aside it should still be on the future even if only 3 % of the plays base use it.

What percent of player base beats VMSA, DSA, Hard Mode MOL you found the developmental time and resources for those things and I would venture at least two of three are under 3%.

IIRC they have said housing did not make the cut for what was coming for initial release, not that it isn't coming ever. every response has been "to make the initial release we had to..." kind of statements.

Seems the decision to place housing in the next update was the error that came from those year ahead plans. So the issue occurred as far back as late 2015 to early 2016.

Anytime you say you had to make decisions to get something released, you're far from being ready to release it

What are people storing that they need more? I assume crafting mats?

The major function of houses in ES games has been storage.
Dummies and crafting stations while nice aren't part of the core house experience. So as far as I am concerned they could come later as nice supprises. It just seems rediclous to have a huge house and nowhere to put things.

I think thier arguement over no one needing more storage as they aren't using what is available while valid is missing a bigger picture of why people even want houses. People really want to display and show off thier armor, so I would prefer manniquins before DPS dummy and craft stations. People could also use them to store thier monster helms and alternative armors when not using them. It would be storage that is limited to only equipment.

I think ZoS could of made much more money if they lowered the crown prices of the houses themselves (It seems high but that also seems to indicate they really wanted a gold sink in game so they are forcing people to pay with in game gold) but then sold storage chests in the crown store (I am aware the whinning about it would be deafening). Would that even be much different to the craft bag?

Plus I am on PC i can get add ons if I want to know DPS.

Keep in mind that as a whole I like the addition of housing and the houses themselves.

That was not said.

Hands down for the price it should be included, high cost for two functions is kinda ludicrous. I would pay that if they had storage and proper vendors...

Just to be clear the "high cost" you mention that should include more than two useful functions is... what cost exactly?

The first room capable of having 15 furnishing (say craft stations tho might be crampt) for anyone (moire for ESO+) is free in game - do a quest. Are you saying that two functions -dps sleley and crafting tables in your room - aren't enough for you to pay the price of running a minor quest in game?

Assumptive poll is assumptive. There's no way to know how difficult storage in housing would have been, or how many other systems would have needed to be cut to make room/time for it.

I just realized and I think ZOS may have been thinking like I have. When people are speaking of storage they are speaking of storage chests. Now if you mean display chests, wall hangings, or dummies ( displaing armour and weapons ), that is a whole other thing.

The main reason they gave for not including in the initial release is that most people have not maxed out what they have now. They think you are asking for storage chests.
