Request: Furniture / House Items suitable for an Arena

geophonic_ESO

Dear ZOS,
with the Homestead update you brought us an extraordinary piece of extra for the game and I (among others) really really like it. We have been decorating our homes multifarious, and each time I can craft a new item I feel like I have to re-decorate everything.
One of the most interesting thing about housing is how you can use existing items to "build" something completely different. And one "feature" that I see implemented into homes very often is an area that will be used as an Arena.
Now, one of the extraordinary annoying bugs with the existing furniture items ingame is, during combat (i.e. a duel) you can be pushed into them and getting you stuck. This happens with e.g. fear or any spear/push that uncontrollably moves you character to a different position. In that case, every single house item is ignored as a means of a barrier.
Now my request is the following: we need at least some item which are suitable for a Duelling Arena which act as real obstacles in case you will run at them (or whatever your means of movement will be when in a duel). These could be existing items or new ones especially suited for an arena (like wooden walls, planks, stones, etc.).
It would help to set up a nice arena in our homes without a penalty if you get thrown into one of the items that make up the area.

Thanks

Perhaps it would be more reasonable for ZOS to offer a number of arenas for free if you own a small house or larger?

It seems the issue is how the "floor" is created and that even problematic for existing furniture.
It would be cool to have housing "add-ons" like an arena, and other future enhancements which will attach so to speak but actually be another instance we can quickly move to from the house(s) from player feedback.

Not that your idea is bad at all....but just a if this isn't possible because of resources....I'm throwing this in.

I am fully aware that my idea has some resource issues, right. I had the idea this might as well function like the fix they did for Cyrodiil, where it was possible to be feared through the world.
But I am open for new ideas for sure.
However, designing new arena type instances could be an even higher work load than my suggestion
Either way, the current "state" of boundless house items is somewhat annyoing.

I mean....honestly both are realistic

Forget what will take a lot of work because the houses need a lot of additional work.

Its a bit frustrating that your idea is an issue, because even ZOS talked up housing and mentioned, sure you can create you own arenas within your house

(they just seemingly ignored the PTS feedback about ground effects, walls and stuff)
