Prices of Player Housing

lunarsyed

Ive been wondering since player housing is coming, it got me thinking how much will they cost to buy ingame? And that if the houses do come in varieties some may be more expensive than others depending on how luxurious or big one house is, that could be a possibility or maybe the house just comes in one shape rather than different varieties, who know but i am curious. Let Know what u guys think?

Small property, one large room, one storage chest [size 40] = 100k
medium property, one large room, three adjacent smaller rooms, two storage chests [size 80] = 500k
Large property, one large room, three adjacent smaller rooms, one other type room (of which you get to select), three storage chests [size 120] = 1million gp

When selecting a house, you have the option of giving it a theme, based on the races (or if it's easier for ZOS, EP, AD and DC themed)

easy as *** ***; give the job to me, i'll do it.

I hope they release crown versions along with the homes and I hope they have different areas in each zone or something.
hoping for a minimum of 100k gold to buy one or some bonus for having eso plus to make it worth having

lunarsyed

sounds good

BlueBin

More than I'll ever be able to bloody afford.

Turelus

I guess it depends on their internal figures.

Most people I know who are good end game players have around 1mil+ gold, however there are often complains on the forums when items cost in the hundreds of thousands. It would be interesting to know what the average dare I use the term casual player has as gold reserves.

Based on the SWTOR model they offer one very cheap location, then two slightly more costly and one expensive location. Finally they also have the dreadnoughts which (although designed for a guild effort) are in the extreme levels of wealth section.

EnemyOfDaState

I assume they will be instanced and will all have a crown store equivalent.

Would not start saving for it yet, remember the pvp justice system...and if player housing does happen it's not going to be any time soon anyway.

Given that it's cosmetic and not game mechanical, my guess is that the best of player housing will be on the crown store. They will throw some flavour around that you can buy for in-game gold and you might have a chance of getting it through those means, but as far as I can see with their current business module, most of the good stuff of player housing will be crown store items.

I also hope they don't make a WoW Garrison mistake and make the player house 100% necessary to even play the content.

SantieClaws

This one wonders if it will be possible to pay for your accommodation in fish?

Santie has more of these in the bank than she does shiny gold coins right now.

Better start stealing more. Sigh. This one's work is never done!

I hope to have something more than Heartfires. I know that, unfortunately, without pre-made kits it's impossible to provide a housing system, but I'm really looking forward something more flexible.

In Skyrim, I loved my house near Falkreath. It's was a moderately big house, with such a nice view, but none of the side areas options didn't fit the house layout, they were too small or too weird (alchemist tower) and when adding the furniture, too cluttered.

Something I think it's essential is the ability to let us decorate the way we want, moving objects and furniture the way we want, and why not expand the property if we want (towering, basement...)

I want a fishing pond, a garden for reagents, crafting stations for my commodity, all close to each other.

yeah
Volunteers enough to help building it
But I am afraid that we need some patience. So much other stuff to do first.


I hope the storage chests are bigger....
With too many small chests in a multi-room house, I always get totally mixed up where I put everything

Once we get a bottomless crafting bag,
the most important other storage is an Armory !
Hopefully with mannequins in a more expensive dwelling, showing Armor sets in all their splendor
So we have one mannequin per type of Armor set + a chest per mannequin for items not equipped with other traits/enchants.
(different types of armor sets do not get sorted alfabetically per type in one big bottomless chest )

That should deal with the practical day-to-day stuff.

For the true hoarders, collecting old food, trophies, stolen stuff, etc more chests are needed.

Being able to decorate your house with rare (stolen) paintings, ornamental pieces, etc would be great as well.

I wonder where you get to live? Or do you get to choose?

I hope around 75k for the smallest of smallest shags and 100 million for the great, epic mansions.

yeah

and purchasing an epic mansion could be including a title like Baron, Earl, Duke, whatever...

creating a big gold sink.... that could allow for a higher GDP of the Tamriel economy as well !

.... like more BoE

You must be rich.Hehe.
Those prices wont get those houses sold,but for the small property,if that. Most players dont have that much cash.
This would take away houses but for a small percentage of players.Housing should be a fun incentive for players,not a hindrance.I mean,what's the point in adding housing if it is only for a small percentage of the players?

My reply: Why so much? Why do you guys want only rich people to have homes?
I have never met anyone ingame with a million in gold.I know there are some,but they a re definitely NOT the majority.
I'd love it if it was like it is in MW.
The homes could be where you type on the console window (we dont have that now so it would be in chat) a code that sends you to your home.In MW it's an empty indoor home.A very large and well set out place,with many rooms.You can add whatever decorations you want to. It isnt a mod or anything.Just a blank space of a nicely made indoor home,with arches. Like ToddTest,but empty.
And people talk about how Skyrim let you place things.No,you could fling things off your hands and they were very annoying to have to try and move around.In MW you just dragged it from your inventory to where you wanted it and it was easily manipulated into place. Just like that.
Then they idiotically changed it when they released Skyrim.
I hope when housing does come to ESO, it isnt so overpriced that the majority of the players cannot afford them.
There's no reason why they should be priced for those who have millions of gold anyway.It's silly.

Artjuh90

75k is not that much. If you put your mind to it you can achieve it in 7 days without any work (thieving).

There should be a great feat of strength for those who save enough to splurge on a mansion. We also need some more gold sinks in the game.
Why is it any different than those who can afford cool looking mounts? That is unfair too and blocks out players too.

At least gold keeps it within the game itself.

You still didnt answer my question: Why so much.
You went right by that.
Granted Mansions should be spendy,as they would be in real life.However,asking so much for a simply shack isnt a good thing.I never said anything about "fair".I simply pointed out that most people dont have 75k and up to just throw out there.
You can buy "cool looking mounts" in the crown store for pittance. No one is locked out there.You want the mount" Buy some more crowns if you dont have enough.Homes ingame for a ton of gold will just be a sad waste when new players arent able to buy them. Personally,I hope we buy the homes in the store,not ingame.That's just my own humble opinion on the issue.
And just because you have a paltry 75K lying around in your bank,dont assume tons of others do.

Perhaps the base houses will be bought with crowns, and then all the furnishings etc are with gold? I genuinely have no clue how they are going to price it. It would be nice if ALL of the housing related stuff can be bought with in game gold OR crowns, so we can get a choice.

I like this idea.Both.However,it will wind up being just the one or the other. If it gets prices way to high for a lot of the lower level players without a whole lot of gold,then it'll wind up just being ignored,for the most part. Those with those millions spoken about here will be the only ones with housing.
All those who dont want to pay through the nose will just ignore it ingame and come here to complain about.Which I will understand totally. :}

I consider myself an exceptional end game player, but unless I'm ganking in the sewers I'm usually pretty broke.

PvP in Cyrodiil offers virtually no income, in fact my addiction to potions with Columbine and Namira Rot cost me a pretty penny.

I have plenty of AP but with the ratio of AP to gold conversion being as is (roughly 15k gold to 50k AP) id rather not blow it all.

But I thank ZOS for this. VMA is fun, but when you have everything you want it becomes a chore and offers 0 profit. That and Dungeons offer nothing. I blame BoP...

A million is not normal in PvP we make next to nothing after the Rewards for the Worthy nerf sure we have more gold per mail but we get one mail when we would have gotten 5-6 mails the set drops are rare and often useless besides like four. All that plus no body looting, set drops, or the need to repair armor PvP players don't focus on gold.

HaldaAinur

Honestly 75k for a shack is stupid- at least give me a small 'peasant' style house.

Granted, I would also like to suggest they price by location. Big cities will generally cost more, small towns, a little less, small peasant houses/huts/caves (I actually love the idea of a little cave), costing less.

If it's possible to implement, they could even add small zones for small 'towns', maybe in individual styles depending on the area in which its located.

And to those saying how its so easy to earn 75k- not for all of us! Maybe for the majority (and thats a -maybe-), but not everyone wants to spend forever farming that amount of gold, especially if it's a barely able to stand shack. A week of doing nothing but thieving for a shack? No, thank you- give options for actual houses to everyone please Zeni.

However, on another note, adding shacks & caves in the middle of no-where, being tiny-working class averagely sized, could be a nice alternative to pricey homes. They would be cheap and out of the way, but still an easy option for anyone starting out. Tents, camps, small hide-outs in the corner of maps could also be worked into this.

We think, based upon comments on ES Live, it'll be the Q3 DLC.
