I doubt we're far enough along for a news article, but it would be great for the team to give us a forum post trying to address at least their plans for the major issues that players have (name conflicts, server plans, economy differences), and allowing players to post back to see what their pain points are.

We've had way too many things that the team has kept under the rug until it was far too late for any changes to the foundations of it, and as a result it releases in the most destructive way.

It'd be great to get at least a high-level forum post from the devs.

I wouldn't want them to attack people, but I would like them to add another category of "creatures" to houses. Not target dummies, but also not mounts. More like House Guests, but creatures. There are so many creatures in Tamriel, and we should be able to add more then just whatever mount we have, or the giant target dummy monsters they released.

Something like just the ability to put passive monsters in the house to wander would be good.

Long before Home Tours I had suggested how wonderful it would be if we could have enemy mobs in our houses. We could set up our own mini dungeons to play or have friends play. We could set them to appear 100% of the time someone enters, or 10% of the time, etc. With our players becoming notable throughout Tamriel, it wouldn’t be strange to be attacked in our own homes by enemies that we’ve crossed in the past occasionally, for example. City of Heroes had a dungeon creator, I think it was called Architect, that was so neat like that.

Regarding someone abusing it by putting a super hard monster at the entrance just to annoy people, it could be that if a mob is placed anywhere in your home there is an automatic warning on the listing that this house contains enemy mobs so enter at your own risk.

I think that it could also work if the monsters could be set to passive, or aggressive (so people could make like zoos of some of the monsters) and perhaps instead of having them automatically be aggressive, have it related to an action, like drawing your weapon or attacking, like the neutral monsters do after you do some quests.

That way, no automatic attacking of people who just come into the house, but they could still be used to create dungeons and other things.

How many times are we going to get this same poll?

Sorry about that, I didn't see the previous polls and today during the maintenance they supposedly worked on this feature on some capacity afaik.

So, that is the faction with the green?

*makes note*

The problem is too many people expecting to have everything handed to them and to not have to earn anything. Yes, PvP is challenging. That's the point. If you don't want a challenge, there is always PvE.

The fact is it's the legacy players such as myself that spend the most on the game. We have to if we want the latest, greatest gears to compete. It's the veteran legacy players such as myself that are holding the game together, not the casuals who stop by a few times/month and never spend any money.

There is challenging, and then there is Trifecta. Grey Host is like a newbie doing a Trial Trifecta. It's not like just doing a vet dungeon, or even a vet DLC dungeon. The knowledge floor is insanely high in Grey Host against experienced players. Its not 1 hour of prog to get good. In almost all other vet content, even vet HM content, you can prog it within 2 hours (except vet DLC HMs maybe).

Can you get good at Grey Host in 2 hours? You have to evaluate the difficulty curve against the rest of the game. This is not a small population event like a 4 man or a 12 man, these are hundreds of player events.

That said, y'all got your way, grey host is staying, so I truly don't understand all the tears. They are not removing Grey Host. They are just adding vengeance and removing 3 nearly dead campaigns. Blackreach pop will funnel in to Vengeance and it will be good for both GH and Vengeance.
