A plea for communication

If the deafening silence from the housing dev team is happening because behind the scenes they are working on something so massive and exciting that we're all going to be blown away by how great it will be ... then TELL US!! At least let us know that there even IS a housing dev team working on something.

But if there is, then wouldn't it be better to do so with the input of existing housing focused players, who spend hours of every day desperatly trying to manipulate the limited existing furnishings into things that will actually enable them to build houses with proper roofs etc? Isn't that what the whole game is working on right now? Input from the players?? The housing community probably collectively knows evey furnishing piece intimately, has tried to flip them, cobble them, sink them into walls etc etc, all to try and create pieces of houses that don't exist in game.

We know the issues, we know the limitations, we have tried everything with every available piece. We could be a vaulable resource to help focus on what is most needed.

Talk to us.

Thanks a lot @gusthermopyle for writing up this post.

i would indeed also love to get more Housing communication.

have never gotten zos responses on my Housing posts, though also never tagged any zos member because i am unsure who to tag.

I would love for ZOS to remove housing from the game. That's when ZOS started focusing on cosmetics and started letting their actual game die a slow, painful death.

I think they should sell housing as a dlc. Monetize it separately from rest of game.

That doesnt make sense. Everything made for the game gets monetized by the game. Housing is already hella expensive and has a separate team focused on it (supposedly), not to mention you can buy most houses from the crown store, ergo a side shop accessible through menu's not through actually playing content. Which would fall under DLC, housing is already DLC, but so is everything in the crown store.

It's only been housing that has kept ESO from being dead and burried years ago. Without the revenue from Crown-only houses and furnishings, ESO+ subscriptions, etc. ESO would not have been financially vaible to continue development and maintain the game.

I think it's people who actually play the game that's kept it going all these years. Playing "doll house dress up" didn't even exist in the game originally and still shouldn't.

Morrowind has had housing, Oblivion has had housing, and Skyrim too (literally Hearthfire). You really think that there shouldnt be housing when there was always going to be housing. Its an MMO. How many MMO's don't have housing?
