Player Housing

VictorBrav0

Will we ever get player housing in ESO? Many MMO's have done it, and I think there's fantastic potential to have us customize our own homes in Tamriel. What do you guys think?

It better have toilets that actually make flushing sounds; and showers that work. If not; then this game will be unplayable when Smellivision™ is introduced to the world next year.

I think it would be amazing if each faction had it's own "campaign" for housing only that took place in cities that fit the lore. For example there would be instanced versions of Balmora in Morrowind that players from the EP could purchase pre placed houses in. Sure there would have to be some freshly developed mechanics that would go into placing furniture and stuff but that could all be worked out and improved over time. Even if something like this was placed in the game tomorrow buggy as hell with stuff missing and was just a shell of what it could become I would be happy just to see it and experience it as it grew better. Like putting a beta feature within a game until it's finished then announcing it's release. If people like it then they will buy it.

Pheefs

apparently it IS currently in development, & they are trying out a bunch of different versions to see what will work for ESO...
It was first mentioned at a convention & then confirmed on the ESO Live

& in my dream version of Player Housing we can have a place somewhere on our home alliance maps & those maps MOVE FORWARD in time, so we can see the results of our own adventuring, which would make housing End Game Content!

I want to decorate it myself, I want to plant the garden, upgrade the stables, & hire a sexy bard.

SeptimusDova

@Pheefs you will hire Khajiit as well yes ?

They'll probably add housing "soon" but it will be in the middle of PvP zones. You'll have to fight your way to and from every time you want to go there. And even better, you will be forced to store all your gold and stuff at your house. Access will be global so all players can go to your house and steal it all. And they can camp at your house and gank you. That'd be fun right?

I just hope that we can make furniture by way of woodworking, clothing, and black smithing. And that all thing housing are not just crown store.

Selique

I hope that we can have other players inside our houses, and that we don't have fixed places to put furniture (Like you can only put your couch three ways in the living room... I want that couch in my bedroom!).

I want as much freedom as we can get. In placement of furniture, location (I want a house in Black Marsh!), and style (Give me an Argonian mud hut and stylized furniture!)

I'd love to see some of the loot from the Justice system converted into actual IG models to use as decorations for housing too.

That would honestly be awesome. lol

Would like a guild house that would be big enough to have meetings for a minimum of 30 people. Then have access to the guild bank and guild store for inside as well. Even better have a guild merchant that would have a stall outside of the guild house so people walking by could buy from our trader.

Ichnaea

There are only two ways I can see this happening, and they are both based off of "instances".

The more likely scenario is that player housing already exists in game (the houses in cities that have bars on them), they just haven't worked out the inside portion yet. So you purchase said home, and everyone sees the same house on the outside, but when you enter it is instanced to you. This is boring, and probably will happen.

What I would like to see is a portal in every bank that leads to an Eyevea-like or Earth Forge-like location but for housing. So you go to this instanced "shantytown" "homeville" whatever and there is a limit on plots/houses per that instance. When it fills up the only way to enter if your house is not there is to be grouped. It could have it's own crafting, vendors, and guild traders as well of course.

To take it a step further, there could be guild house plots as well. I have my own ideas as for what the benefit to having one would be but this is already TLDR.

I would geek out if this happened but...what if there was an auto-craft feature, in which you advertise you are a master crafter, and list your price for work. Then all anybody has to do is go to your house, put in an order and it deducts materials from your bank, and puts the crafted items in a delivery box or mails it?

Ichnaea

What if each instance had a number, so when asked if you would like to travel to "shantytown", you could input said number. Someone wants to buy your gear, you tell them your shantytown instance number and where your house is.

Also, the auto-craft thing could maybe be a house upgrade that hires an "apprentice". Said person would answer the door and take/make orders based off of all your players skills. They could also be your butler or whatever.

Hireling mails could go directly to your house which butler person could empty to a designated spot...guild bank, bank, or maybe a specific "hireling box" in your house.

Sorry, after reading the original post, skipping the rest to say.. "NO WAY. With so much broke with the IC DLC, why add a new mechanic. ZoS needs to fix what they have now."

Kaitona

Just did a search for Player Housing using the search function and realised there were over 1000 thread titles created with the words Player Housing in them. Imagine that - 1000 thread titles! Who would have thought!?

NewBlacksmurf

I do believe ZOS a while showed interest and said its something they would want to do but as far as if and when....no specifics were shared that I'm aware of.

Seems like a few years off tho

Sorry but Zenimax has stated we will get player housing eventually.

Got a link for where they said that? Cause all i've found them say is that they're looking into it, how it could be done. But no definite yes from what i've found.

I think the way Aion did housing was pretty damn good. Each alliance having a zone with a limited number of free standing houses, that you can lock or leave open. For that you pay a lump sum and a weekly rental. But everyone gets a free studio, which can only be entered by guild or friends from their own house. Crafted Furniture (including storage). Able to show off trophies there. And some sort of incentive to visit friends houses (Aion did the guestblooms). Bank and Store NPC's for your house.

Yeh, improve it slightly and i think that would work well

Some info here.....but most things aren't placed on their forums until it's well into development and close to release within 6 months

Try here and/or watch the August ESo live early in the month

That's just made my day to hear them actually say it on the live thing

I want a house

Artheiron

it doesn't have to be complicated. you know, a place to show your achievements or store your armor sets in stands. but if they add some justice system with pvp in it, or a little bit trading...

Sir_Xalvador

I agree player housing would be so awesome...would need the bank anymore could store our stuff and show off achievements and such with armor and weapon stands a place to grow alchemy, food and create armor and weapons of any and every set even a place to cook etc ....

newtinmpls

I want player housing.

I was thinking that my characters probably wouldn't like it, but it would be massively fun to RP if one account had to share housing.....

Volkodav

I would too want a house ,but someone will want it so that it is far too hard to buy one.So,nevermind.

Daedgaming

Honestly I believe we should be able to have our own player house that we can entirely customize. I am talking every single aspect of it from the zone it is in to the lighting all the way down to if its an underground tomb or a mage tower. I would go for the blood fountain underground scholar look. Zenimax could make so much money off of a project like this! And I am that idiot who would spend well over $100 on his house lol

They day this game charges that much for housing is the day I leave.I have never said that,but if they do I would consider it the worst kind of cash cropping of any game I have ever seen. To pay for housing is one thing,perhaps even as high as $25.00,but no more.Not for me anyway.

No I get you at the same time though I have been waiting for this game since 2006 when the rumors first started. I will keep playing until Zenimax gives up and the servers shut down, hopefully never.

I'm like you in that I was waiting with bated breath for ESO to come out,and will most likely be with it until the end of time.I just felt a rather rash thought there.I'd just not buy a house though.I'd continue to live on the streets like the vagabond I am. XD

If they add houses they should make it where you can sell your wares to anyone else that has a house. I’m tired of guild raffles and the roaming around the world to find one thing at a guild trader.
