    Hello, and Happy New Year to everyone!

    As you know, we began discussing Homestead – our next update that includes player housing – at the end of last year, and mentioned that it would be coming to the PTS sometime in January. We’re excited to kick off 2017 by publishing Homestead on the PTS this Tuesday, January 3rd! We’ll have all the details and upcoming changes included in the patch notes, which we’ll post on Tuesday during the PTS maintenance.

    Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and we hope to see you on the PTS later this week!


    Damn... You're fast, Zeni. Awsome.

    Super excited for Homestead...

    Deeply suspicious when I hear the word "balance" lol...

    Yeah, more like nerfage... Champion System made us stronger than they wanted us to be, so now in each major update even despite useable CP cap going up the past two times (currently have 1017 Champion Points (PS4)), they overall nerf players more than buff.

    That is of course unless you are an Argonian Tank, hehe...

    Yeah lets hope this balance Pass gives the Khajiit Race an Attribute bonus, since they are the only race without one....

    Khajiit has so many questions!

    The cost?
    The ability to use items casually acquired from wardrobes and pockets?
    The hope of being able to hold pool parties in fountains on the exterior of our properties?
    Can we have a pool in the interior of the property yes?
    The number of friends allowed in a house at a time?
    The range of bar and tavern themed furniture included?
    Yarn?
    Can the guards see what this one she does in her own room at The Rosy Lion?
    A personal fishing pond someday perhaps?

    Yes Khajiit she plans the parties. Bring them in with their best pockets. Right to Khajiit! For entertainment and light drinks and nothing more of course ...

    • No idea. Just have to wait for PTS players to report in.
    • Not sure, but also hopeful for this.
    • Saw a video of someone behind the walls of one of the houses and there was a fountain there, so go nuts I guess?
    • Unlikely.
    • 24 players in the largest house. (Read in an early article.)
    • Probably a few? Likely just the stuff from inns.
    • *Shines a laser pointer up the wall*
    • We saw. We know.
    • And finally, god I hope so, fishing nodes right outside my front door...

    I'm very curious to see the houses from the inside. I'm going to buy all of them on the PTS to see which ones I like the best, although I feel like I will end up buying the big Mathiisen one despite not liking Mathiisen. I wish the big Altmer house was near Skywatch instead. Oh well, two of my characters used to live in Mathiisen so I guess it still makes sense.
    Just so that everyone knows, my Altmer still can't have black hair. About a dozen of Altmer NPCs in the game have black hair. Just saying.

    Meet my characters:
    Command: Do the thing.

    Zadarri, Khajiit Fist of Thalmor: The thing was done, as commanded.
    Durza gra-Maghul, Orc blacksmith: The thing was done perfectly, in the most efficient way.
    Tegwen, Bosmer troublemaker: You can't prove I didn't do the thing.
    Sings-Many-Songs, Argonian fisher: Sure, I'll do the thing... Eventually. Maybe.
    Aerindel, Altmer stormcaller: After extensive research, I've come to the conclusion that doing the thing would be a waste of resources.
    Liliel, Dunmer pyromancer: Aerindel said I shouldn't do the thing. Something about "resources".
    Gyda Snowcaller, Nord cryomancer: I will find a way to do it that won't waste resources and make Aerindel proud of me.
    Beatrice Leoriane, Breton vampire: I persuaded someone else into doing the thing. You are welcome, dear.
    Sahima, Redguard performer: Doing the thing sounds awfully unpleasant and really not my problem.
    Ellaria Valerius, Imperial priestess: I'll pray to the Eight for the thing to be done, if it is Their will.

    I have a question . As far as I know , we need achievements to be able to buy houses . Will template characters have those achievements ?

    Also will we have only divines for items or will we get more traits like impenetrable ? I was theorycrafting (and will do again this PTS) for PvP and it was painful to play with 0 Critical Resistance . It would be super good if you did that ^^

    One more thing , thanks for releasing the PTS earlier than expected !

    I think Khajiits should have the ability to torture skeevers and other small rodents.

    Expect crushing disappointment, be optimistic for changes that don't totally empty the population (I preemptively cancelled my sub since it was coming up for renewal and this patch could go so wrong).

    I'm expecting a complete mess; would be nice to be wrong.

    OK so I used to have the PTS installed, but had to build a new PC a couple of weeks ago, and as the launcher has changed since I last did it, I cannot find how to download the PTS - want to get it ready for the update on Tuesday!

    Any help please?

    Will the "balancing" mean I shouldn't bother with monster sets anymore? If the "proc sets" dont crit even in PvE, why should I slot two pieces of them? I can go for 5+5+1 (Mael weapon) and it'll be more interesting. Good bye Undaunted dailies.

    If there is nothing to compensate the loss of crit from monster sets in PvE, I will totally go for 5+5+1. The answer to this should be in the patch notes so let's wait for them to be 100% sure.
