Prices of Player Housing

Purdomination33

Noob question here. How exactly does player housing work? Say if your house is in Auridon on 'xyz pond' will all players in that instance be able to see your house when near 'xyz pond'? Or will it be like the Crafting Survey's where you go to a certain area and only you can see all the materials, but in this case it is your house?

Curious to know if all the sudden the woodlands will be invaded, turn into the suburbs and Spriggans soon become a protected species!

Personally I am a poor player. Not much for grinding, learning to steal or whatever else to get my hands on gold. Takes too much time. Rather spend that time in a dungeon or Cyrodiil. Though I could definitely use some gold considering the freaking scam that TEMPERING ALLOY has become. Just say NO to 10k Alloy!

100k is just BS, i have been playing on, and off since beta, and i have never had more the 30k, at 1 time, GTFO with your rich ass.

Lol...100k isn't rich, by any means in this game. I've been playing since launch on console and have over a mil+ in bank.

Judging from what you say you have in bank, I'd assume you maybe collect 5-10 gold pieces a day.

Maybe we can just get a FEMA camp for the broke players?

Dont assume.And dont rib someone if they dont have as much gold as you do.I bet you PvP.
A whole lot of players dont have 100K.Those who say they do just cant seem to keep from bragging about it.If they do have that much.
It's reality that those people who dont PvP tend to have less gold.And dont tell them to PvP then,if they want the gold.
Housing doesnt have any need to be over priced like that.What some people want is only themselves to have a home.Not the newbies or those who arent so rich.

When a player that has apparently been playing since beta, only has 30k in the bank, that's not my fault. I pvp maybe once a week, but it's pretty easy to make gold in this game, those that don't choose to hold onto any gold, will have empty pockets.

That's why I suggested a fema style camp. Player housing and affordable.

In any game with a currency there will be an economy, people will make more gold than others, that's logic and fact.

I'm not bragging about my gold, it is nice to buy what I want and when I want too though. I know several old guild leaders that have lined their pockets with the weekly donations from guild members and are sitting over 10 mil.

All in all, if someone wants to buy a big ass house and have an episode of cribs eso version, than so be it. ZOS will most likely accommodate for the wealthy and not so wealthy.

Ya know,why would you want to comment on the fact that I am a beta player without a lot of gold.It doesnt make me look bad because I dont have as much funds as others do,and I am certainly not complaining about it.I am too busy questing,repairing gear,hunting mats and creating better gear to worry if my coffers are bulging with gold. And I never said you were at fault for having money. You chose to take it that way. I simply said that I think housing should be affordable for low level characters who havent been able to make a lot of money due to the ingame things that do cost money.It takes time to make a huge lump sum of money.
No matter what you say,..it's true.
Also,I do like the fema style of housing and never said otherwise. In fact it would be a nice addition to the game.And I dont have problems with those old guild leaders of yours with 10 mil.

As a matter of fact, I didn't. I already had the sentence in mind, including the "Butcher of Torfan" reference. However, I do confess that I never used this word before and thus I didn't know how to spell it

Us Templars better get a big discount on player housing.

No harm done. I didn't even quote you to begin with. You chose to defend someone else in a similar situation as yourself, I presume. Either way I just wanted to joke about fema camps and poor players. Play the gsme how you want, as long as you have fun, that's all that matters.

There is already a model for player housing, "Settlements for ESO"

You are wandering Tamriel when you discover a group of explorers, led by a Redguard wearing a silly hat. They are in dire need of rescue from a village overrun by bandits and a (VERY BIG) monster. Once the bandits and monster have been killed (and your armour all but destroyed) the Redguard leads his motley crew.. and you to a place of safety. Here you can start building whatever you want.......depending on the amount of rubbish materials you scavenge.

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.

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?

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

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.

Why so much?
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.

@Volkodav Oh this old fallacy again, really? "you didnt answer my question". I did. You failed to perceive the answer to your question in my reply.

Go back and re-read it and hopefully it will be more clear to you what my answer was. If you can't figure it out then, sorry, I don't want to waste my time explaining because you are not listening anyway.

I have the right to say that I dont think housing should be so high in pricing.,

i wish adoption also became available from buying a house like in hearthfire dlc in skyrim. And the windows omg i never liked the windows in this game, for my house i would like a see through window. Like housing in gta 5 many players can live in one house but are put into their own instances and i think tht could work.

To have adoption we would have to have children in the game world... Where have all the children gone?

Good questions but no one knows, its all speculation. We know housing is coming but ZoS has shared exactly zero details with us.

lunarsyed

If we are spending tht much money on a house then the amount of stuff we shuld be able to store in their shuld be limitless. Like tharns estates i think we shuld get a title aswell when buying a land of property. In skyrim i rlly liked manequins coz i could show off my armors and easily pick them up when i needed a certain set of armor, i hope they include tht in there.

lunarsyed

yea like the guards in pvp keeps i wouldnt mind paying extra for guards but then who could possibly steal from ur property? Yea they shuld follow the example from gta 5 because their idea was successfull and they can invite their friends to their house session. id love to hvae my farm of goats, goars, chickens, echatare, and a stable for my collection of horses and oooh i got an idea, i think guards could come in handy in protecting ur farm animals. like in skyrim one of my houses was in the wild next to a lake and this giant came and stole my cows.

lunarsyed

id gladly pay to buy animals and stable upgrades to the house

It could be like gta 5 housing, from the outside the house could look the same but from inside it would belong to various players, of coarse im not saying tht all houses tht we can buy shuld look the same from the outside but the house in tht vicinity tht is able to be bought would like the same to ppl in tht vicinity. like in gta 5 u can buy several apartments but the building from the outside still looks the same to anyone tht comes in tht area.

Housing is coming with Thieves Guild - but only for Templars.

I never quite got the fascination with player housing. Do you just sit in your living room by yourself? Now Guild Halls is something I would pitch in to help pay for.

Zorrashi

I'm all for guild sinks, but the cost of even a small house should not exceed 15k. Housing, in its most basic form, should be relatively easy to access for new players. Sure, put high prices on those possible castles and mansions, but decent housing should be made to be largely available for new and old players alike.

If people want to funnel gold out of the system, then they should do so by putting a gold price on furniture, maybe even paying monthly fees (for say, a personal banker or the upkeep of your garden).

Ummm yeah, and I like to look at meh stuffs sometimes too... Hmmmm I'm actually doing that right now in real life, interesting.

Lysette

I would already be satisfied with a tent and a camp fire, where I can cook some stuff - in a way, that I can pitch that tent somewhere in nature, where i think it is nice to be at - this would make for a great housing experience to me - and a bigger inventory coming with this tent - just in the way the inventory extension with horses is done.

This would not clutter the landscape, because that tent could be removed when you are offline - and if the tent would be in a location where another tent is, it would just take a phase switch to be perfect and not overlapping again. And if I do not like the location any longer or move, I could pack up my tent and just move away and put it up somewhere else.

Edit this would even be an occasion for an implementation of tent motifs for different styles and qualities of tents. The Frostfall mod for Skyrim did that in an excellent way, I just loved that mod, especially with the winter edition of Climates of Tamriel. Camping survival at it's best.

Personally I'd love a bosmer treehouse in Valenwood. The forest is grand. My house doesn't need to be.

That said....

Maybe they could have little one room huts as the basic variety and more expensive / crown store alternatives might be inside the trunk or possibly the whole tree.

I vaguely remember it getting a mention in an article in January as one of the things definitely coming to ESO. Don't think there were any details though.

Supposedly, both housing and the barbershop will be in the second half of the year.
