Achievement Furnishing - LAME!

Remag_Div

One thing about acquiring furniture that I was looking forward to was the ability to complete achievements in turn for some exclusive furniture.

Then I realize you don't get anything for completing achievements. All this does is "unlock" it for the merchant to sell to you for GOLD. And some of this pricing is absurd. 100,000 Gold for some legendary listings?

I was hoping we would be awarded furniture like we receive titles and dyes from achievements but apparently I was mistaken. The grind continues to get worse for this update. I guess they want to keep everyone superficially busy since we get nothing until June 6.

I would have liked to see both.

1 Item for completing content, then a 2nd, different item you can purchase.
That way you have a nice reward to pat you on the back, and also unlock getting optional, seriously cool items.

Housing is a gold and time sink, one that the end game really needed.

You can find recipes and nake furniture that way

When I first heard people saying you had to purchase the furniture you earned from achievements I figured they were just Bsing.....but then the game hit the live servers and I found out the absurdity was true. Let's not even mention the fact you can't preview furnishings from vendors before you buy or that achievement furnishing vendors only carry a very small pool of items each. If you wanna see the full selection you've gotta travel across each and every zone.....much of the housing implementation is quite underwhelming tbh.

Another thing, items that are still locked tell you what achievement you need (we should be able to just click on the achievement title in the listing taking us to the exact achievement) but items you have unlocked don't tell you what achievement they are from. It would be nice to see which unlocked items came from each achievement.

Good idea, I agree with this.

YES!

Another thing I forgot about. We can preview Crown Store listings, why not from vendors? I guess I don't mind too much that different vendors sell different things based on their location. It makes sense, but I see your point on how it could get tedious traveling around everywhere fast.

But yes, many things need to be improved with Homestead. Granted, it only released yesterday so I will give ZOS time to improve it.

Yup, and especially in non-powergrab way. Powergrab just leads to stupid stuff like scaling.
