Housing; can we share with our spouse?

bg22

Can "married couples" (i.e. The pledge) share a house?

Voxicity

Unfortunately not

TARAFRAKA

Nope.

At first I thought this said "can we share our spouse".

Best you can do right now, (or maybe ever), is friend them to house and give them permission to decorate, sort of.

Awesome... bc I hate immersion. And since my gf and I play together we certainly wouldn't want to be able to share a house.

They really nailed that...










Not.

Well you can give people decorating rights So she can throw everything in the corner when she's angry with you

The fact that you cannot equally share ownership of a House with a spouse's account is a huge drawback for my real life wife and myself.

Our characters are also (obviously) married in-game, but the fact that my character "owns' the house and she can only have permission to decorate it... it just doesn't sit right with us.

Housing launches for consoles in seven days. But the more details that come out about housing; or at least, more details that come out about all the standard things other MMO's have that ESO's Housing will be lacking, is really killing our desire to even purchase a House.

Things you cannot do/have in ESO Housing (that every other MMO has standard):

Storage, equally sharing the House with my spouse, Pets are little more than inanimate statues, Storage, actually sleeping, use a garden for crafting mats, inexorable grind just to decorate it, exorbitant pricing...

FFS; MOUNTS have more usefulness than the Houses in ESO, and that's pretty damn sad.

Well what if you split up? What happens? Who bought the house? Is it their gold? Just saying.

I have a feeling what was released was somewhat of an mvp.

People can buy houses, walk into them, and put stuff in em. That's what it 100% absolutely needed to be at launch and thats what they have.

Given how simple it is in its current state, I'm sure they'll be bringing more functionality to it as time goes on. It would be foolish not to, as more functionality means more home sales and crown item sales. Comments like yours are very good , as it helps them see what the community is looking for.

Same here, me and my wife played ESO for years now. She has bought two mansions (cuz she is loaded with gold lol) and I could only afford a measly large house, only because we can't share it we have to "live" in separate properties. It's just pure greed from ZoS side

I understand that.

My worry: Every other MMORPG has housing that comes with this other stuff as part of the package. ESO will surely bring about all that additional capability, but with a certain "Lady" in charge of the Crown Store, how many thousands of Crowns will those capabilities cost?

The thought is especially alarming when other MMO's have Houses that do magnitudes more, for just the price of the House. But I see the community getting fleeced for cash, for functionality that other MMO's deliver as "standard".

Balamoor

This is something I really want as well, and honestly I think it was really short sighted to not put something this basic in.

Purrmaid

I was extremely disappointed at the fact that making my husband a co-habitant in my house didn't even let him use his own decorations to place things, only edit stuff I had already placed down. (Unless we're doing something differently).

anadandy

Co-owner is a feature I'd like to see as well. Add a permission tier above decorator. I share a house with my Mara Pledge partner and it's a drag to mail him stuff, have him dump it, then have to go move it around. Especially if I decide I want to put something outside - the housing editor doesn't allow me to drag stuff outside so my friend has to come over, move the item outside...tedious.

And if the argument against this is "what if people split up?" Well...too bad. Put a big old warning when you set that permission and call it good.

kookster

I would second having another permission beyond decorator. Co-owner or whatever you want to call it, but they can add/recall items from a home. My wife and I share a home and it is very tedious constantly having to have her place things for me. It would also be nice to set someone elses home as your primary residence. That way when you are outside it in the world it wont port you to the preview, right now I have to find her on my friends list every time and port to primary residence.

TLDR:

• Add a new permission rank of Co-owner, allows placing and recalling.
• Allow setting another persons home as primary residence, so you dont have to port, but can use the door.

I agree with both of you on the absurdity on not having a "Co-Owner" setting for House ownership.

As far as the argument of "what if people split up?", just make it like the guilds run.

My wife is also in the Guild I started. I've promoted her to a position similar to a Co-Guildmaster position, and she has every bit of the privileges that i enjoy as the Guildmaster.

She can alter the Guild in any way that I can, except that she cannot remove me as Guildmaster. If we were to "split up" for some reason, I'd just be able to demote her/kick her from the Guild, and I retain Ownership.

Make the Houses work the exact same way.

If I buy a House on my account, allow me to "promote" my wife's account (since Guilds are also account wide) to Co-Owner, give her all the exact same permissions that I enjoy as the "Owner" of the residence, but make it the same as the Guilds (the other person cannot remove the Guildmaster [or otherwise steal the title/permissions], but has all the same permissions of the Guildmaster).

Why this isn't in Housing (yet another feature that comes standard in the Housing of other MMO's, but is horrifically lacking in ESO Housing...) is astounding. I mean, it's not like ZOS couldn't figure out how to get it to work, the exact same system already exists in their Guild Systems!!!

@ZOS_GinaBruno Damn... you guys really did give ESO players the most bare-bones Housing that anyone could possibly think of... There's less than half of the features in Homestead, that come standard in every other Housing system in every other MMORPG on the market.

This whole update is more and more disappointing with every angle you look at it from...

LadyLora

Myself and my IRL partner play ESO and are married on the game and are quite disappointed that we can't own a house together.
